** Speaking of Jinga, the Watchdog's stance on Jinga's UniqueProtagonistAsset is left vague; [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagging]] between BadPowersGoodPeople and GameChanger depending on the episode.



* EvilVsEvil: Jinga Mikage and [[spoiler" Horror!Jinga]]'s dynamic as of #10.
* FallenHero: The Makai Order sees Jinga as a KnightTemplar DrunkWithPower as of #10 due to increasingly non-traditional actions, them [[spoiler: sending Rozan to arrest him or cut him down]].

* ForcedToWatch: In Episode #10, Fuusa finds Jinga [[spoiler: after their argument]] tracking a Horror that targets a group of extortioners led by a teenage girl. Jinga pins Fuusa down and forces her to witness [[spoiler: the Horror eat each of the teens one-by-one]].



* LeaveMeAlone: When Fuusa begs Jinga to [[spoiler: submit to the Watchdogs so they may investigate his UniqueProtagonistAsset]], he claims she "no longer understands him" and sullenly abandons their base.



* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Rozan reveals that the outlaw couple Jinga saved back in #6 [[spoiler: retreated back into their murderous thieving ways after being liberated, causing the woman to become the new Horror host]]. This event is used to convince Jinga that his power is bad.....somehow.
* PlotHole: Numerous examples. The RecapEpisode gives most of these a HandWave.
** The spell Fuusa was given during #7 was to [[spoiler: cast DetectEvil on Jinga and assess his mental/physical state]], not [[spoiler: check on Touma's humanity]]; which a concern of ''Jinga's, not hers''.
** In #10, Jinga learns for the first time that it was [[spoiler: Horror!Jinga]]'s influence that made him [[spoiler: murder Shijo in #4 and the Master-son duo in the village during #7]]....except that Rozan asks him about it point-blank a minute prior and [[YouCanAlwaysTellALiar his eyes imply he already knew]].

* RetCon: The beginning of From Episode 8 makes it seem as though onwards, the spell given to Fuusa inquired about by the village Priest in Episode 7 is changed from [[spoiler: Toma's potential Horror-dom as opposed to being a spell that could detect the source of Jinga's behavioral issues]].issues]] to [[spoiler: one that could see if Touma was still Human or not]].
** The Watchdogs' order for Rozan to [[spoiler: [[BringHimToMe bring Jinga to them]]]] was changed into [[spoiler: spying on Jinga and assessing his UniqueProtagonistAsset]].
** Related to the above, Rozan claims Jinga has been refusing official summons in #10....except [[spoiler: he's never received one before this point]].



* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Jinga's headed onto this path thanks to [[spoiler: the late Priest Ugai]]'s spurring. Ugai [[spoiler: getting eaten]] and Fuusa [[spoiler: trying to calm Jinga down]] hasn't changed this, [[WhatTheHellHero to the latter's chagrin]].
