'''Basic Trope''': A neutral character finally chooses a side.
* '''Straight''':
** Good - Ichigo spends the remainder of his time refraining from choosing a side until he finally aligns with Hiro and the other heroes to defeat Emperor Evulz.
** Evil - Ichigo spends the remainder of his time refraining from choosing a side until he chooses to side with Emperor Evulz to oppose the heroes.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Good - Ichigo dedicates his whole life to neutrality until he officially is the most heroic member of Hiro's team.
** Evil - Ichigo dedicates his whole life in being neutral until he becomes Emperor Evulz' [[TheDragon right hand man]].
** Both - Ichigo is neutral until one of the sides breaks one of his windows taking a shot at the opposition. Ichigo then devotes his existence to unleashing torture, destruction and DisproportionateRetribution upon the offending party, their loved ones, their little dogs and their respective cities, countries or worlds. This is different from AwakeningTheSleepingGiant in that the giant eventually stops.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Good - Ichigo is uninclined to no side, but even though he chooses to help the heroes, he's HeroicNeutral at best.
** Evil - Ichigo is uninclined to no side, but even though he chooses to help the vilains, he's less of a villain than they are.
* '''Justified''':
** Good - Ichigo saw that the villains has severely crossed the line by destroying his home land.
** Evil - Ichigo thinks that siding with Emperor Evulz was [[EvilIsEasy easier and efficient than joining good]].
* '''Inverted''': Ichigo was a good (or evil) character until he chooses neutrality.
* '''Subverted''':
** Good - Ichigo sides with the heroes, but then returns to being neutral after realizing that BeingGoodSucks.
** Evil - Ichigo sides with the villains, but returns to being neutral because BeingEvilSucks.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Good - But Ichigo returns to the good side because [[AllLovingHero kind-hearted hero Hiro]] convinced him that being good will be worth it on the long run.
** Evil - But the villains convince him that there are some hot evil women they've met, so he joins their side again.
* '''Parodied''':
** Good - Ichigo refuses to choose any side until the heroes sing "The Friendship Song" which [[ThePowerOfFriendship actually won him]] [[LonerTurnedFriend over to them immediately]]. Ichigo mutters to himself "[[SarcasmMode this should be a joyous life.]]"
** Evil - Ichigo refuses to choose any side until the villains sing an awesome rock song which won him over.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Ichigo goes from neutral to good then backslides into neutrality, but decides to join evil then backslides into neutrality again...
* '''Averted''': Ichigo remains a neutral character.
* '''Enforced''': "The audience is bored with neutral characters. Let's have him join a side."
* '''Lampshaded''':
** "Guess who's chosen to fight for the greater good and not for himself."
** "Ah! Welcome to the dark side, my new friend!"
* '''Invoked''': The heroes and villains [[EnemyMine decide to team up]] to fight against Ichigo until he finally chooses a side.
* '''Exploited''': Whichever side Ichigo chooses uses his decision as propaganda to get other neutrals to join up.
* '''Defied''': "Hah! I'm choosing no one's side. Just my own."
* '''Discussed''': "Ichigo picked a side? I didn't expect that coming from him."
* '''Conversed''': "It's about time the writers made Ichigo choose a side instead of confusing us intelligent fans!"
* '''Deconstructed''': Ichigo cannot bring himself to care about his new cause, and ends up being an ineffective hero/villain.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** Good: ThePowerOfFriendship convinces Ichigo to become a true hero.
** Evil: Ichigo manages to get revenge on his neutral enemies, which brings him to true villainy.
