* CompleteMonster: Yagi, through and through. [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon He kidnaps Mai, force-feeds her the drug True to get her into a state of severe addiction, and ties her up in a place where three of his henchmen might possibly rape her]], ''and'' he's got the whole thing being video-recorded and broadcast over the Internet via his cellular phone as a way to keep Yuu from fighting back while Yagi's thugs beat him to a pulp]]. Even his boss [[BigBad King]], while a SmugSnake, doesn't sink ''this'' low.
** It may only be a coincidence, but to this troper Yagi is very similar to Jagi, the notorious {{Complete Monster}} villain of {{Fist Of The North Star}}. Their personalities are similar, as is their status as underlings to the {{Big Bad}} of their series (King and Raoh, respectively). Even their names resemble each other. Both of them also ultimately turn out to be abject cowards who end up begging for mercy before their destruction.
** Ryuu, King's sadistic and psychotic MMA henchman, is also this. It's no coincidence that he's the one who pairs up with Yagi and concocts the Mai kidnap-scheme with him.
* HoYay: Yuu and Izawa have a very ... ''intense'' relationship. Also between Yuu and Shin, especially in the live-action drama. Lampshaded by Shin: "Hey, I'm not that kind of guy!"
