* YouAreAlreadyDead: Downplayed. Kokuen Gang leader Zangi can launch his own chi into his target via palm strike. When Chinmi got hit the first time, he didn't feel a thing, but mere seconds later, turns out the chi has been tossed around within his body and wrecking them, giving him intense pain. Though it would've been played more straight if Zangi managed to hit with both his palms on two sides, especially [[YourHeadASplode on the head]], as he shows how it's done against one watermelon.

* YouAreAlreadyDead: Downplayed. Kokuen Gang leader Zangi can launch his own chi into his target via palm strike. Downplayed with the Shockwave Kung Fu style. When hit on actual human being (like Chinmi), the effect does not take place immediately, allowing Chinmi got hit to cockily taunt that the first time, he didn't feel a thing, but mere seconds later, turns out the chi attack has been tossed around no effect. He is InstantlyProvenWrong when said shockwave already ricochets within his body and wrecking them, giving him intense pain. Though it would've been played more straight if Zangi managed to hit with both his palms on two sides, especially [[YourHeadASplode on the head]], as he shows how body, causing great damage. It doesn't kill him, but it's done against one watermelon.''seriously'' painful. However, the watermelon that got clapped from both sides with two hands will result surefire death (after a few seconds of nothing).

* {{Eagleland}}: During the You Sen arc, Chinmi tends to find crude, boorish American sailors who bully the Chinese townspeople just because they're more physically intimidating. Both Chinmi and You Sen usually send them packing. It culminates with one particular sailor named Dick Stainer, who also doubles as a boxer, who wants to challenge a Chinese martial artist against his boxing skills (Chinmi gets picked). Stainer proves to be a mix of the two types: While he never chides his fellow Americans for their bullying behavior and silently also looks down on the Chinese, he never actually participates in said bullying, [[AffablyEvil is pretty affable]] and proves to be a GracefulLoser.

* MartialArtsStaff: Chinmi's weapon of choice, and fittingly as this is a martial arts-based manga. His teacher in staff-fighting, Riki, is equally powerful with bo staff. And his FriendlyRival Xu Fang is even deadlier with it.

Added DiffLines:

* SnakesAreSinister: Snakes are often used as animalistic antagonist. It's noted that there's no one in the manga who ever took a "Snake Kung-Fu" style (even if it's actually a pretty common real life Chinese martial arts style):
** Right in the 2nd volume, Chinmi falls into a ravine filled with venomous snakes ready to bite him to death for trespassing by accident. Chinmi avoids the gruesome fate by meditating and fooling the whole horde of snakes into thinking that he's just a lump of inanimate rock.
** You Sen took Chinmi to witness a SnakeVersusMongoose scenario to teach him a lesson. However, this part is downplayed: While the snake is just playing its part in the cycle of nature or the show, it's meant to be the antagonistic loser to the mongoose.
** In the beginning of ''Shin Tekken Chinmi'', Chinmi avoids being bitten by a snake sent by an assassin while bathing. He ends up cooking it for food on Pushin's suggestion, since if spared, there's no telling if the snake will attack anyone else.

* FacePalmOfDoom: The insta-kill technique for Shockwave Kung Fu involves hitting the opponent in the head with either twin palm-claps or a thrust to the face, allowing the ki waves to pulp the victim's brain. When Chinmi faces off against the master of this style, said master reveals he intends to execute Chinmi in this manner.



* ImpaledPalm: To defeat the master of Shockwave Kung Fu, Chinmi puts himself through impromptu TrainingFromHell whilst awaiting his execution. When the rogue martial artist goes in for his brain-mulching clap to Chinmi's skull, Chinmi impales both of his opponent's palms ''with his fingers'', crippling his ability to use his martial art.



* KiManipulation: several characters utilize ki techniques.

* KiManipulation: several characters utilize Ki techniques are one of the more advanced fields of martial arts in this series, reaching into the lower tiers of SupernaturalMartialArts. There are no KamehameHadoken attacks in ''Tekken Chinmi'', but skilled users of ki techniques.can achieve superhuman physical feats.
** One of the most obvious examples is the Shockwave Kung Fu style, where the user uses palm thrusts and claps to send ricocheting waves of ki into the opponent's body, which inflict internal damage whilst leaving the skin seemingly unharmed. To demonstrate its power, its practitioner pulls a stunt with a watermelon; tossing it into the air, and then catching it between his two clapping palms. Chinmi initially scoffs that the melon is completely unmarred, before the Shockwave Kung Fu practitioner cuts it open and reveals the interior has been reduced to ''liquid slurry''. During their fight, his palm thrusts leave Chinmi writhing in pain and spitting blood, and his plan is to execute Chinmi by clapping his head in the same way he did the melon, with Chinmi having a mental image of blood ''gushing'' from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

* TheEmpire: The story takes place in Imperial China, but the trope itself is generally averted. The Emperor of China wasn't conquering other nations, the nation serve the people well and vice versa and [[BunnyEarsLawyer eccentric attitude]] aside, he's the bonafide BigGood of the setting.


Added DiffLines:

* ImperialChina: The story takes place in Imperial China, with culture, society, and conflicts generally known in this setting.
