16	----
17	!!This manga provides examples of:
18
19	* BaseballEpisode: Actually, baseball arc. starts with an overdose of UnnecessaryRoughness...and then they pull out the sniper rifle.
20	* BearsAreBadNews: Number 5 of millions.
21	* BigBallOfViolence: Anytime Hibino and Ichijou get into a "fight" it dissolves into this, since neither of them are seriously fighting each other.
22	* BigBrotherInstinct: Momiyama has this. It's even enough to let him ''land a punch on Hibino.''
23	** Hibino himself has this. He refers to the other three/four/five members of the team as servants, but his general attitude of teasing, supporting, and protecting them is just like an older brother.
24	--> '''Hibino:''' What Kiyoushiro tries to protect...is what I try to protect.
25	* BoisterousBruiser: Hibino most of the time.
26	* {{Blackmail}}: The "I got naked photos" variant.
27	* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[MsFanservice Naomi]] [[RefugeInAudacity tries to sell her panties to the readers.]] The writer jumps in and scolds her over it.
28	* CatFight: There is a chapter named this. And while the outfits, setting, and combatants play the trope straight, it still manages to be subverted through sheer ''brutality'' and the fact that both women are skilled, dangerous fighters.
29	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Usually averted, but this happens to Ibu Reiko, who [[spoiler: fell in love with Ichijou]] after she was defeated.
30	* DefiantCaptive: Yamana, when she's kidnapped by Reiji Maroka. What does she do when he gloats over her friends being beaten? [[WithMyHandsTied KICK THE BASTARD IN THE FACE WHILST]] [[BoundAndGagged TIED UP AND GAGGED.]]
31	* {{Determinator}}: Kyoshiro proves himself to be this one [[OncePerEpisode once per arc]], including clinging from a driving bike for 300 meters?
32	** His true Determinator moments are when he fights; he makes a habit out of lifting people several times his size.
33	* FireForgedFriends: Hibino and Ichijou joke at each other's expense all the time, but when one is in danger, the other will come running (mostly Ichijou falling and Hibino running).
34	* FiveManBand: Interestingly played with in that the main character doesn't always take up either of the roles you'd expect him to.
35	** TheLeader: Okamoto Kiyoushiro. Okamoto consistently displays the attitude, and is usually the first of the group to jump to a stranger's aid, [[MagneticHero drawing in the others out of loyalty.]]
36	** TheLancer: Makoto Ichijou to Okamoto (being more quick-tempered and willing to start a brawl).
37	** TheBigGuy: Hibino's main role, as he's easily the strongest among the group. He's of the GeniusBruiser variety--he's not terribly bright in other areas, but his tactics and foresight in combat are second to none in the series.
38	** TheSmartGuy: Momiyama Shouzou, as he tends to have the most information regarding the delinquents of the city, which are the group's main opponents. Tends to be a NonActionGuy since he's weaker than Hibino and Ichijo and tries to keep out of the way of the villains, but he's a good enough fighter to be the head of a school, and it occasionally shows.
39	** TheHeart: Yamana Michiru. She borders on ActionGirl a few times, such as during the Live House Eden arc when she knocks down at least one of the Ashido High gang, and gets to be a DefiantCaptive once or twice. Her main role is as TeamMom, though, as she's able to rein in Hibino and Makoto at times.
40	* FunSize: Happens often when the comedy kicks in.
41	* HiddenWeapons: BB gun in cast, knife in a shoe.
42	* HyperspaceArsenal: Baseball bats and frying pans mostly; Hibino [[LampshadeHanging gets called on it every time]], and gets compared to Manga/{{Doraemon}}.
43	** Lampshaded once. When Hibino seems to be in an impossible situation, he slides his bat behind his back (the door to his Hammerspace). The current JerkAss tells him it's good he gave up. Cue Hibino moving, revealing that he slid the bat into the chains keeping a door locked, and not back into his shirt as per usual.
44	** Lampshaded at least one other time, when Ichijou starts digging around in the back of Hibino's shirt to get his frying pan. He succeeds, and Hibino gets pissed off about it.
45	* InvincibleHero: Hibino, and he is [[RuleOfFunny aware of this,]] and it is ''spectacular.''
46	* JapaneseDelinquents: Most of the series antagonists, and depending on your mileage, possibly Hibino.
47	* {{Jerkass}}: Most people see Hibino as this. Not even his LoveInterest is safe...
48	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though still clearly a good guy, Hibino emphasizes the jerk side, while Ichijou emphasizes the heart of gold side.
49	%%* LargeHam: Hibino.
50	* MadeOfIron: Hibino. No matter what pain the story dishes out at him, he takes it.
51	* MsFanservice: Ibu Reiko, all of her followers, and most of her opponents. She's basically a fanservice magnet.
52	* ObfuscatingStupidity: A weird example. Hibino ''is'' mean and shallow, there's no question of that, but his loud attitude still manages to mask just how quick-witted he is and how much thought he puts into things.
53	* OldMaster: Bob for Kyoshiro; also gets to be a CoolOldGuy.
54	** There are a few hints that Hibino's father is one of these. He allows his son to tie him up because he was planning to go get into a fight, but after Hibino leaves, he father wishes him luck and gets up, effortlessly tearing his restraints.
55	*** In a prototype manga, Hibino was a fallen angel, and his father is ''God''. Yes, ''that'' [[UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} God]].
56	* OppositesAttract: Hibino and Haruka are complete opposites of each other. The former is often considered as a demon even by his friends while the latter is pretty much an angel in white.
57	* PsychoSerum: Kanzaki takes one. and then another. [[DrugsAreBad He proves to be a more competent fighter when not using the drugs, giving Hibino a good fight.]]
58	* RollerbladeGood: Or rollerblade evil. The 'killer' hockey punks team who chose the wrong battle.
59	* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Hibino may be shallow and easily bribed with food when he wants to be, but don't think for an ''instant'' you can buy him off from protecting something that someone else truly cares about. He's gone out of his way on more than one occasion to honor the wishes of others rather than make a fortune for himself. The biggest example: he had agreed to play bodyguard for a kid for a share of treasure that the kid was looking for, but when the kid got ahold of the money, he ended up donating all of his to charity, so that he could pursue his own dreams without being blinded by wealth. When he tried to pay Hibino what he had promised, Hibino donated ''his'' share as well.
60	--> '''Hibino:''' YOU FOOL! Do you think money is enough to make Ore-sama move?!
61	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: As the prince of the local {{yakuza}}/CorruptCorporateExecutive this is Reiji Maroka second choice of action. his first choice? unleashing his fearsome BattleButler.
62	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Among all the crazy strong guys, Yamana falls for Kyoshiro.
63	* TheSixthRanger: Ibu Reiko. She's a major ActionGirl, joining TheTeam for fights in a few arcs, but never hangs around enough that Hibino starts calling her one of his servants.
64	* StormingTheCastle: Reiji Maroka's mansion - [[AngryGuardDog Guard dogs]]? check. FallingChandelierOfDoom on top of {{Mooks}}? check. slaying the [[DragonInChief dragon]]? check. Did I mention it was all to [[SaveThePrincess save the girl]]?
65	* UseYourHead: Fairly often, whenever Hibino wants to make a point. Kyoshiro also combines this trope and his construction helmet to deliver a glorious GroinAttack
66	* VitriolicBestBuds: Hibino and Ichijou are ''so'' vitriolic towards each other that they ''literally breathe fire at one another'' at ''least'' [[{{OnceAnEpisode}} once a chapter.]] But it practically qualifies as a sibling rivalry, because they make a spectacular team and both of them will come running to save the other without hesitation.
67	* WouldHitAGirl: Hibino doesn't care who he beats up, although he does go for indirect hits.
68	* WouldntHitAGirl: Ichijou tries to be this.
