* MagnificentBastard: [[TheDon Father Caleb]], real name Souhei Keireiji, is the [[TheDreaded feared]] head of the Caleb Family mob and the main antagonist of the 1947 arc. A war veteran who [[WellIntentionedExtremist seeks to restore a defeated Japan to its former glory]], Caleb seeks 100 million Japanese dollars to pay the GHQ to help restore the economy. After teaming up with Club Primavera to defeat rival boss Alfred Akagi, Caleb takes over Primavera and all of City 17, putting a bounty on the Primavera runaways. Caleb uses any means possible, from extortion to murder, to get the money he needs. Despite this, [[AFatherToHisMen he is well-respected by his men]], and he truly loves Miguel and Amanda, his two main subordinates. Nearly defeating Primavera several times, Caleb honorably confronts them in a last stand. After his defeat, he eventually [[HeelFaceTurn returns to help them fight against greater threats]], including the GHQ itself, proving that his loyalty is to the people of Japan first and foremost.* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Basically every year's climax has at least one awesome duel scene for one of the main characters, be it [[YouShallNotPass Leo vs. 40 men]] in 47, Rose vs. Wang in 48, Keith [[spoiler:spotting and shooting the sniper who just killed Stella]] in 49 or [[spoiler:Richard vs. Gabriel]] in 1950, for the most notable ones. Rose vs. Wang has bonus points for being just two people sitting on a chair, talking and passing phone calls and yet still being intense as hell.

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler:Gabriel]]. It says something that [[spoiler:him being the culprit of Stella and Yūji's murder would have ''never'' been discovered if not for Butler's betrayal because of something he couldn't have anticipated. Nobody in Primavera suspects him even after the climax is over]]. And for that matter, Butler might count too [[spoiler:considering how he manages to off Gabriel while passing it as Richard's vengeance]].

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The synopsis drives many people away, thinking it will be a nationalistic tale where Americans and Chinese are the "bad guys". Actually the story is quite critical on the Japanese mentality, most antagonists are Japanese, and [[GrayAndGreyMorality every side has some degree of moral ambiguity]], but the setting and themes are still very sensitive.

* CanonSue: Leo is often accused of being this, and not without reason. In 1947 it seems like nothing important can happen without him being involved in some way. It was toned down in the manga though, even if he's still {{Badass}}.

* FunnyMoments: Oliver, Nina and Charles introduction, which has the three of them getting lost because Oliver didn't want to ask for directions, and then Oliver again mistaking an old lady for the "young girl" they were supposed to meet, the three of them speaking very loudly (in a ''hospital''). Add to that Zel watching the whole scene completely baffled and you have a hilarious EstablishingCharacterMoment.
