** Souta is frequently warning Kirio to stay from Inami, ostensibly because there's a serious danger that she could hurt him. Souta gets so annoyed that he tends to blow off this warning that eventually Souta starts using painful submission holds on him to try and chase him away. Kirio eventually [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the fact that Souta has hurt him way more than Inami ever has.

** Otoo as well. He was introduced in the first volume of the manga alongside most of the main cast, and seemed to be designated as part of it. In contrast to the anime, he was actually present and working normally around the restaurant. However, he eventually gets overshadowed by Souma and Yamada upon their introductions in volume 2.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: A few characters display this trope:
** Souma, if given the opportunity, will often find out your secrets and cheerfully BlackMail you into doing his work for him. However, it doesn't work for every character, such as Inami, who always punches him whenever she sees him, and Satou, who is immune to anything he does, and often retaliates with a frying pan to the head.
** Nazuna, Souta's younger sister, can be seen doing this as well. She managed to get money to help out with their house bills from Kazue, which he was hesitant to ask her for. In episode 3 of Season 2, she is seen manipulating both Yamada and Popura, which causes Souta later in the episode to ask her exactly what she said/did to them.

Inami goes there to talk to her, backed up by Nazuna, but their attempts don't seem to sway his mother at all. Only after their other coworkers show up does she then reconsider.
