Alphabetizing example(s)


* SoftSpokenSadist: [[spoiler: He never raises his voice or loses his calm disposition, even after revealing his true nature.]]



* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: The alien hell-world is probably the only place in the universe his blend of total psychopathy, bloodthirst, and cold-blooded pragmatism would drive him to heroics, instead of making him a menace to society.



* SociopathicHero: He's unambiguously a homicidal psychopath, but he's brave, skilled, and pragmatic enough to be a valuable member of the team.

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Per usual for Predators. The variation shown here is that the Black Predators have a single long blade that can be fired out from their gauntlet.



* EvilRedhead: The leader of the Predator pack hunting the main characters and sports red stained dreadlocks.

* DecompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Like Billy from the first movie, Hanzo challenges a Predator to a duel in order to buy his three remaining companions time to escape. Billy's strong jungle sense and ability to sense the Predators' presence is given to Mombasa.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MartialArtistsAreAlwaysBarefoot: He takes off his dress shoes upon arriving, noting them to be cumbersome in the jungle mud, and seemingly doesn't even take them with him in the hope of more fitting terrains. Given that he turns out to be an expert in Japanese swordsmanship, which is usually trained and practiced barefoot, it's likely he is just accustomed to be that way.


Added DiffLines:

* LonersAreFreaks: Aside from being part of criminal clan, according to promotional materials he prefers to hang out with his hounds rather than other Yautja.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Even though he's not a combat vet like the rest of the team, he's a good doctor who's able to make medicine out of the jungle plants around him. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he's also lethal in a more straight-up way, although he ultimately defies the trope by dramatically overestimating himself and underestimating everyone else.]]



* TheLoad: Discussed. Royce openly wonders if Edwin, a civilian seemingly out of place with the soldiers and killers, was dropped in as part of the group specifically to slow them down. [[spoiler:It turns out to be more complex than that. He may be TheLoad, but he ''is'' a killer just like the rest of them.]]

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler: Subverted. At first, Edwin seems like a normal doctor which puts him out of place among his companions. It initially seems as if he was brought along to provide medical assistance for the group and make the hunt more interesting. But then it's revealed he's actually a serial killer and just as much of a predator as the others.]]

* PsychoKnifeNut: Has both the skills and the [[AxCrazy personality]] for this archetype. However, he quickly recognizes how limiting his shiv is and at one point demands a gun from one his better armed "companions".

* KatanasAreJustBetter: When he finds one in Noland's base, he chooses to take it with him instead of guns, grenades, landmines, or anything else. Partially justified because his teammates are already carrying and/or taking all of the above, as well as because, being an urban hitman instead of a professional soldier, Hanzo is possibly not familiar with explosives and heavy weapons.

[[spoiler: Although it's been sitting in a jungle for God knows how long, he manages to kill a Predator with it in one-on-one single combat. Even considering [[TakingYouWithMe he dies in the process]], this is a pretty impressive feat considering guys who try that in this franchise ''usually'' get tossed around by a foe with both SuperStrength and SuperToughness compared to a human.]]
