* CurbstompBattle: {{Deconstructed}}. Hina easily defeats her first opponents, knocking them out in a single blow. This is a problem for Valkyria since it is not good for gambling, which is their main source of revenue. [[spoiler: Nozomi even promises to give Yuzuha and additional million yen as a prize if she wins her match against Hina, specifically because she believes that Hina becoming uncontested this early will only hurt Valkyria in the long run.]]

General clarification on work content


* AmbiguouslyEvil: Chogen Takahashi was the leader of a cult that tried to coup the Japanese government. However, a former member of the cult claims that he only advocated for violent methods after adopting Hina and accuses her of changing him. The veracity of the testimony is debated InUniverse, so whether Chogen or Hina is the real responsible is unknown.

** Nozomi to [[Manga/KenganAshura Kazuo]]. She is a young woman who just lost her job while he is a middle-aged salaryman. Both of them serve as the main POV despite not being fighters, but Nozomi is experienced and could have gone to the public sphere if not for her CareerEndingInjury, while Kazuo gave up all hope of being a fighter long ago. Their relationship with the main fighter of their respective manga are also inverted: Kazuo often encourages Ohma when fighting and deeply respects him for his strength and [[{{Determinator}} refusal to ever give up]], while Nozomi is annoyed that Hina wins her fight too easily and is uneased by her strength and [[BloodKnight personality]].
** Hina to [[Manga/KenganAshura Ohma]]. Both them serve as the main fighter of their respective manga, but Hina is a outgoing and friendly girl while Ohma started as an asocial and rude man. Both are looking to fight strong opponents, but Ohma wants to both prove his strength and avenge his mentor Niko by defeating his killer, while Hina is looking for someone stronger than her. Ohma's first meeting with Kazuo ends with him asking Kazuo if he wants to fight and, when Kazuo refuses, he is disappointed but accepts it. Meanwhile, Hina's first meeting with Nozomi starts with them fighting and Hina wants Nozomi to fight her for real, despite the latter refusing.

** Nozomi to [[Manga/KenganAshura Kazuo]]. She Both characters serve as the primary SupportingProtagonist of their respective manga. But whereas Kazuo is a ButtMonkey middle-aged salaryman who has a tendency of being MistakenForBadass in spite of having no combat experience, Nozomi is a [[DeadpanSnarker sardonic]] young woman who just lost her job while he is a middle-aged salaryman. Both of them serve as the main POV despite not being fighters, but Nozomi is experienced and [[ICouldaBeenAContender could have gone to hit the public sphere major leagues]] as an [[ExperiencedProtagonist MMA Fighter]] if not for her CareerEndingInjury, while CareerEndingInjury. Kazuo gave up all hope of being is also a fighter long ago. NaiveNewcomer who was [[KidnappedByTheCall essentially forced to become his employer's pawn]] in the Annihilation Tournament. Nozomi, on the other hand, strives to [[StartMyOwn create her own]] underground fighting circuit from scratch and is highly competent as Valkyria's manager. Their relationship with the main fighter of their respective manga series are also inverted: Kazuo often encourages Ohma when fighting develops a [[FireForgedFriends genuine bond with Ohma]] and deeply respects him for his strength and [[{{Determinator}} refusal to ever give up]], while Nozomi to the point where he starts to see him as a [[LikeASonToMe surrogate son]]. On the flip side Nozomi, is annoyed absolutely terrified of Hina after realizing just how [[AxCrazy unhinged]] the schoolgirl is and treats her like a ticking time-bomb that Hina wins could go off at any moment if she doesn't bust her fight too easily and is uneased by her strength and ass providing strong fighters to satisfy Hina's [[BloodKnight personality]].
bloodlust]].
** Hina to [[Manga/KenganAshura Ohma]]. Both them serve as the main fighter of their respective manga, but they couldn't be more different if they tried. Ohma is, at least at the beginning of his story, a withdrawn and rather rude adult man with a muscular build and [[FaceOfAThug thuggish appearance]]. Hina, meanwhile, is a bubbly teenage girl with a slender yet [[PintSizedPowerhouse deceptively strong body]]. Both have NoSocialSkills, but show it in different ways. Hina is a outgoing rather detached and friendly girl airheaded, speaking in a ValleyGirl vernacular while being far too buddy-buddy with everyone around her, while Ohma started as an asocial and rude man. Both are looking to fight strong opponents, but is near-LiteralMinded combined with TheComicallySerious, speaking in a blunt, somewhat inarticulate way where he constantly flubs names. Ohma is also a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and showcases occasional moments of selfless heroism. Hina, on the other hand, is a [[AxCrazy psychopathic]] [[BloodKnight combat junkie]] in the skin of a cuddly schoolgirl who wants to lead a violent revolution against the government and has no issues with attempting murder on a whim. Ironically, Hina participates in a bottom of the barrel startup underground fighting organization while Ohma is a fighter for what may as well be ''the'' most clandestine and important underground martial arts organization in the world.
*** Even their respective stats and approaches to fighting are contrasting, as while
both prove his are StrongAndSkilled, Ohma actually uses the versatile techniques granted to him by the Niko Style as often as he can, while Hina mostly prefers to flatten people with raw strength and avenge his mentor Niko by defeating his killer, while only busts out her Rikudou techniques when she feels it's worth it. Hina is looking also an explicit superhuman, with abnormal levels of strength, speed, and toughness for someone stronger than her. Ohma's first meeting with Kazuo ends with him asking Kazuo if he wants to fight and, of her age, size, build, and weight. Ohma, meanwhile, has mostly above-average physical specs for a Kengan fighter, only becoming superhuman when Kazuo refuses, he is disappointed but accepts it. Meanwhile, Hina's first meeting with Nozomi starts with them fighting and Hina wants Nozomi to fight her for real, despite uses [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique the latter refusing.Advance]].

* CoverBlowingSuperpower: Discussed in the aftermath of Valkyria's first tournament, where the Sena sisters (specifically Riku) confront Ichika over how Hina employed a technique that specifically designed to '''[[CoupDeGrace kill]]''' their opponents and demands to know more about who they're really dealing with. Ichika dodges Riku's questions instead entirely for the sake of not spooking both sisters off as new mainstays for Valkyria.



* HollywoodHealing: Even though this takes place in the same WorldOfBadass as Manga/KenganAshura, this is surprisingly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] for once in Chapter 19 where three of Valkyria's Fighters must participate in an exhibition against three fighters representing the Slaughter Colosseum. The problem? Hina, Yuzuha, and Riku are ''still'' recovering from the injuries they racked up during the previous tournament, leaving Riko as the only one Valkyria has who is in any shape to fight.



* LikeASonToMe: The true reason why the Jinguuji Family continues to exist in spite of their weak status. The Jinguuji Family's original boss was SwornBrothers with [[TheDon Chairman Niwa]], resulting in the latter caring for Hana as if she was his own flesh and blood while [[MysteriousBacker secretly supporting her businesses]] after she took over. So when Ichika leaks that Sugaya essentially tried to start a MobWar with Hana, Chairman Niwa's NumberTwo Lee Akinobu personally intervenes to force the Sanba Family to apologize and agree to a compromise. Akinobu also notes that if Chairman Niwa himself caught wind of the news first, ''[[PapaWolf Sugaya would be dead]].''



* MusclesAreMeaningless: Hina only weights 50kg and is less muscular than her opponents. Despite this, she is strong enough to knock out experienced fighters with one blow. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]/[[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in Chapters 9 and 15, where its shown that Hina is essentially in the same boat as [[Manga/KenganAshura Wakatsuki Takeshi]] in terms of possessing inhumanly strong muscle fibers that radically improves their [[LightningBruiser strength, speed, and durability]]. But unlike Takeshi, Hina has [[OneHeroHoldTheWeaksauce far greater control over her individual tendons]] as proven by her "[[SuperSpecialMove Rikudou Sunder Heaven]]", which is essentially the "Blast Core" technique but specialized to use only the muscles in ''just one arm.'']]

* FeudingFamilies: Chapter 18 puts the Jinguuji Family under Mitani Hana at odds with the Sanba Family under Inoue Sugaya. The Sanba have no respect for the Jinguuji due to the latter being one of the weakest Yakuza organizations in Japan's underworld, protected only by the fact that Hana's late father/predecessor had a close personal relationship with the boss of the dominant Niwa Clan, and sees their involvement in Valkyria's creation as a brazen attempt to intrude on the Slaughter Colosseum's business. After Yuzuha gets injured [[spoiler:losing her match against Hina]], Sugaya uses it as an excuse to try and poach Valkyria of their most promising fighters so they can finally crush the Jinguuji and absorb the rest of their assets in one fell swoop. [[spoiler:Thankfully, Sugaya's scheme completely falls apart when ''[[SpannerInTheWorks Hina]]'' decides to attend his meeting with Hana.]]

** Kawakita Itsuki, Nozomi's last opponent before she was forced to retire as an underground fighter, tries to [[BullyingADragon goad Hina into a brawl with her]] right in the middle of Hana's meeting with the boss of the Sanba Family in Chapter 18. Hina, [[AxCrazy being]] [[BloodKnight Hina]], ''immediately'' responds by jumping out of her seat to ''[[CurbStompBattle knock Kawakita's lights out]]''.
--> '''Hina:''' Oh? Um, should I ''nooot'' have done that? She ''saaaid'' she was game if I was, so I just thought, you know... Anyway! I beat her! ♡ Now what?
--> '''Both Hana & Sugaya in unison:''' '''[[ViolenceIsDisturbing THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOOOOOOUUUU?!]]'''

Nozomi gets the idea of creating a female only underground fighting organization to both get money and keeps the delinquents from fighting in the street, solving all of their issues with one stone. To help them attract strong fighters, they decide to recruit Hina Hongou, “the deadliest schoolgirl in Japan”, who was involved in a cult that tried to overthrow the Japanese government. But Hina might turns out to be too much for them to handle.
