* BigBrotherInstinct[=/=]IWillProtectHer: Kurando is very protective of his twin sister Mafuyu, to the point where people accuse him of being a massive [[BrotherSisterIncest siscon]]. Indeed, he initially couldn't care less about Lisa's motivations for saving the world, but is willing to play along because saving the world means saving the place where his sister lives in.

Wada Kurando is not a happy guy. He sees little point to the world, and barring his beloved sister Mafuyu, could care less if it just ended one day.

* CasualKink: Due to a misunderstanding, the males in the class assume that Kurando and Lisa are in [[{{BDSM}} "that"]] kind of relationship, with Lisa as the "master".



* CombatReferee: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagannath Jagannath]] plays this role for the dispute between the Devas and Asuras. Though technically he's only in evidence when someone breaks the agreed-upon rules between the two parties, or when a special-case exemption has to be made.

* MadeOfIron: Ryou again. The guy gets swatted around by a giant snake avatar, then is immediately hit by a speeding truck after his fight with it. The next time we see him he's heavily bandaged and hospitalized, but otherwise perfectly fine.

Added DiffLines:

* WeHaveReserves: Ravanna's attitude toward her avatars, making use of any schmuck willing to wreak some havoc with the power she gives them, then abandoning them the instant it's clear they're going to lose. This way, [[LoopholeAbuse even though her avatars haven't won a fight yet, she doesn't get sent back into the cycle of reincarnation]].

Added DiffLines:

* AmnesiacDissonance: When Kurando was little, he was ''much'' more energetic and prone to perverted pranks. When he temporarily regresses to that mental age, he makes such an impression on the girls in his class that they continue to be terrified of him after he reverts back to normal.

He picks up his scooter, slams it on the poor sod, and after making sure the avatar is doused in its fuel, ''lights it on fire''.
