** Black Star was for a time a Ineffectual Loner example. While he could beat teams in his class without Tsubaki, that tactic was getting him nowhere when it came to achieving what he actually wanted - to use the Nakatsukasa Purpose/fey blade mode. Typically for him, it took Kid beating him into the ground for the 'assassin' to see sense. In an uncharacteristic moment of reflection, Black Star actually acknowledges this when Spartoi set out to rescue the shinigami. Followed up on when he actually rescues Kid - the importance of the meister/Weapon relationship emphasized by the one who, [[CharacterDevelopment originally]], was least able to recognise it. Unfortunately, the relevance to Kid falls flat given that the majority of the arc has him separated from Liz and Patti, and that the end of the storyline involves not the trio but Kid and Black Star.
** While it takes him a while to recognise it, this has a lot to do with why [[MadScientist Stein]] didn't go completely [[TheCorruption mad]]. Stein ultimately tells [[MoralityChain Spirit]] that he, [[MoralityPet Marie]] and the [[TeamDad students]] are the reason why he's [[HeroicWillpower not]] about to give up.
