* AttractiveBentGender: Of the three who had to dress up, the unmasked Inosuke accomplishes this trope the most. It helps that Tengen ordered him not to even ''try'' to fake a woman's voice, let alone speak.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Unlike Rui and Enmu from the previous arcs, Daki and Gyutaro genuinely care for each other, and do their best to protect the another. Even when they argue on the brink of death, Tanjiro sees through them and assumes their bond.

* TheHeavy: Daki served as the main threat in the story, as she was responsible for capturing Tengen's wives and was causing a lot of trouble in Yoshiwara. Then during the fight between her and Tanjiro & Nezuko, she managed to stand her ground pretty well and did significant damage to them. That is until they {{Power Up}} that she begins losing control of the battle. When Tengen Uzui arrives and [[DiscOneFinalBoss easily decapitates her]], she gets upset and calls for her big brother, Gyutaro, who's revealed to be the true Upper-6 demon.

* BreakTheHaughty: Akaza isn't having a great time after his loss to Kyojiro. Despite killing the Flame Hashira he had to run away from the sun with his tail beneath his legs, got called out as a coward by Tanjiro who told him that Kyojiro was the true winner, and Muzan tells him that his performance was pathetic since he only killed the Hashira and not the other three Demon Slayers there. Suffice it to say Akaza is pissed after being chewed out by Muzan and promises to pound Tanjiro's face into paste the next time he sees him.

* DualBoss: Once Gyutaro comes out of Daki's body the two proceed to fight the Demon Slayers together. It's also revealed that part of what makes the fight so difficult is that killing just one of the siblings won't do any good, the only way for them to truly die is if both of them have been decapitated at about the same time, otherwise the other will just reattach their head. This eventually leads to the fight splitting up with different members fighting Daki and Gyutaro at the same time.
