165	* HistoricalDomainCharacter
166	* {{Hypocrite}}: Along with his brother, rants of his conspiracy to Meng about his hatred to the US government because he believed they orchestrated 9/11 to generate hatred for Muslims, yet it doesn't occur to him that what they've done will do exactly that. Not only that, but have already planned to do another bombing attack in New York, all in the name of their extremist beliefs. [[KarmicDeath He never lives to see it happen.]]
167	* InsaneTrollLogic: Rants about how the US's actions [[NeverMyFault forced him to do what he did.]] No one buys it.

He later gets himself killed because of his poor decision making.
170	* NeverMyFault: He believes Manny got away because Dzhokhar distracted Tamerlan. Nevermind that Dzhokhar wasn't even in the car (he was only getting food to stock up for their long road trip to their next attacks), and that Tamerlan was busy on his phone, it was somehow all somehow Dzhokhar's fault. [[TheDogBitesBack This comes back to bite]] Tamerlan as it causes Dzhokhar to have a private RageBreakingPoint and then give his brother his well-deserved LaserGuidedKarma while fleeing from the cops.
171	* SexIsEvil: Brings up fornication in his rants.

181	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking[=/=]SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: Blithely says to Tamerlan "I'm a fornicator" during one of Tamerlan's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech rants]] justifying their actions, and one FBI Evidence Response analyst notes that he had more Internet pornography in his possession than UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden.
182	* TheDogBitesBack: He’s constantly pushed around by Tamerlan, blamed for Meng getting away, at one point threaten to be killed while Tamerlan is in the middle of a VillainousBreakdown. He gets payback during the Watertown shootout by abandoning Tamerlan, but not before running him over after he’s fatally shot by the cops.
183	* TheDragon: He is mostly subordinate to his older brother Tamerlan.
184	* DragonTheirFeet: He ultimately outlives his brother.
185	* HistoricalDomainCharacter
186	* RageBreakingPoint: Right before the Watertown shootout, Dzhokhar is seen angrily muttering over how Tamerlan keeps blaming him for everything that goes wrong, complete with multiple PrecisionFStrike of the "F" word. He finally gives his brother his LaserGuidedKarma by running him over when trying to escape, which proves lethal to Tamerlan, who is left lying in the street, completely in shock, as Pugliese and the other sergeant restrain him, though there wasn't much reason for it with his condition and unable to fight back anymore.
187	* TheStoner: It's said he was the biggest marijuana dealer at [=UMass=]-Dartmouth.
188	* WouldHurtAChild: During the marathon, he walks by several children and sees a stroller, but he doesn’t hesitate to leave the bomb just a few feet away. The youngest of the fatalities is a 8 year old boy (the toddler in the stroller traumatically screams from a bloody head wound caused by the bombing, but survives). He and his brother have no regrets.
