!!This series includes examples of:
* AntiVillain: Jinga hopes that [[spoiler: Mizuto]] was this.
** Subverted with Nonloso, the Horror of Episode 00. Their host [[spoiler: was betrayed by her husband, who conspired with his new lover to kill off both her and [[WouldHurtAChild her children]]. Nonloso meanwhile continues to protect and nurture the children even after taking the woman over. There's a fair chance it doesn't do this for kindness' sake though; [[MoralSociopathy It's stated by Alva that said Horror worms their way into desperate mothers' hearts]]]].
* AssholeVictim: Nobody will miss [[WouldHurtAChild the cheating lovebirds]] from Episode 00.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Roze's splash-screen and combat-movements are associated with black and purple colors typically seen in villains, yet he fights to protect others instead.
** ItMakesSenseInContext given Jinga's forgotten past as a Horror himself.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Jinga witnessed [[spoiler: his fallen father stab his mother through the chest point-blank. She dies in his arms after uttering his name one last time]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Fuusa.
* HeelFaceBrainwashing: PlayedWith. Jinga's memories of [[spoiler: his Horror days]] were purged following his reincarnation into what is, at least for now, a good person.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: The Roze Armor is essentially a shinier, less-organic version of Jinga's Demon Beast Armor from his Horror days.
* GreasySpoon: The Horror of Episode 00 works (and feeds) at one.
* HurtingHero: Jinga's [[spoiler: hesitation in cutting down his father when he fell to darkness]] has stayed with him and is directly affecting his mental state.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Invoked. Rozan [[spoiler: sealed away Touma's memories of the battle between Jinga and his father to protect him]].
** Fuusa also removed the memories the children of Episode 00 had of their "mother," hoping they'll be taken in by someone else.
* Reincarnation: After his defeat at Messiah's hands, Jinga's soul [[spoiler: gets reborn into the Makai Knight we know now]].
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Alva.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Jinga's fatal flaw as a Makai Knight is his soft heart, which caused him to [[spoiler: briefly hesitate in cutting down his father when he fell]]. It lingers within him to his day, even affecting his battle against Nonloso once he [[spoiler: discovered the fate of their host]].
* YouKilledMyFather: Touma (pre-[[spoiler: memory wipe]]) believes Jinga to be guilty of this. [[spoiler: [[FaceHeelTurn The truth]] [[DemonicPossession is considerably]] [[ReluctantHero more complicated]]]].
