* NoManLeftBehind: Subverted. When Black Jackson goes missing, the Judge immediately turns back and rescues him, and the other men believe it's this trope.

* AbusiveParents: From what little we know and see of the Kid's father at the beginning, he comes across as this, which caused the Kid to run away from home. The father was apparently a schoolteacher once but seems to have never bothered teaching his son how to read at all since the Kid is illiterate, and he feels resentment towards the Kid for indirectly killing his mother in childbirth, referring to his son as "the creature" as he recalls the incident.
