Daidus provides examples of:
- Animesque: His art style is a combination of this as anime-inspired, but is mostly cartoony.

- Brooklyn Rage: Discussed in his video on living in New York making you a jerk, he admits that the pace of the city did force him to be a lot more assertive to avoid being scammed.
- Character Catchphrase:Sen: Squid Up?
Daidus: No, Squid Neutral! - Education Mama: His mom is one, yelling at him for getting C's and also yelling at his dad for it. One time, when he came home with D's, his father helped him photoshop and reprint his report card on the same paper just so he could avoid getting yelled at.
- Formerly Fat: He admits to having been a fat kid in middle school, and he and a former fat friend hold that once a fat kid, always a fat kid.
- Funny Octopus: He uses squids in his drawings, though occasionally can drift into Tentacled Terror depending on the joke.
- Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Daidus is the Blue Boy to Emirichu's Pink Girl.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Emirichu, as the two are dating.
- Signature Headgear: His trademark orange Russian hat.
