145	* WouldHitAGirl: Besides fighting Maki, he has no qualms about ''battering'' teenage girls who try to make him their sugar daddy. He coldly states that anyone who cheapens or plays around with "love" will receive no mercy from him.

160	* IronButtMonkey: He can hold his own in a fight, but he's not just almost dirt poor and easily ignored.
161	* RapidFireFisticuffs: Using a jackhammer so much allowed him to throw an onslaught of punches. His speed and strength allowed him to punch holes in a wall.

178	* StraightGay: Nagato loudly declares that he loves Kinjiro and would sleep with him if he asked. Of course, the way he goes about professing his feelings makes [[DepravedHomosexual him unsettling]].
