** Black Monkey's past. While we do know how he got his scars we know almost nothing else about Black Monky's past. This is very telling because Ryo is a parent murdering rapist however somehow the things Black Monkey has done are so horrific that not only does his master Ehru choose Ryo as his student to stop his crimes but the normally peaceful Ehru even tries to kill his adopted son with a sword which is how Black Monkey lost his arm. While we never find out what caused the shift whatever he did it must have been Really Bad.

* StraightEdgeEvil: Ryo doesn't smoke, drink or do recreational drugs - this is likely due to an early encounter with an older karateka-turned-bouncer who tells Ryo how he could've made it to the top if it wasn't for alcohol, smoking, and drugs[[note]]Yes, ScareEmStraight played completely unironically[[/note]] and promptly dies of a heart attack in front of Ryo's eyes. Steroids and copious amounts of casual sex are fine and dandy though.

* ButNotTooBlack: Fabio Sanshiro the UsefulNotes/BrazilianJiuJitsu champ, he was introduced as someone who ''should'' have been black going by how others around him found his appearance unique, he was even called ''Macaca'' (either a misspelling of ''macaco'', "monkey", or a deliberate usage of ''macaca'', "female monkey") at some point which is an offensive racial slur against blacks in Brazil. It was in the series' new run (Volume 20 and onward) that the art showed his ethnicity.
