---------------------------------------------
I\\\'ve removed the above tropes from [=BG9=], for the following reasons:
CharacterTic: A BodyLanguage sub-trope centred on either facial expressions or physical gestures. Focusing on a character mentioning numbers would, at most, be a verbal tic, not this trope. However, this is his first major conversation in the manga, which doesn\\\'t have time to establish anything like this. His mention of numbers in his info on Soifon was simply listing off her title and introduction the way she would and telling the audience that the Quincies hold personal information as well as military information. The reiatsu information or number of metres away someone\\\'s located is nothing more than imparting information to a reader, it\\\'s like the 12th division members who pointed out a 93% certainty of the enemy being Quincies or Hitsugaya saying his power will affect anyone within a 12km radius. The same is true for establishing how many members of Omaeda\\\'s family are close enough to be killed by him should he carry out his threat (in other words, the family members previously introduced and mentioned to the audience are in danger). It\\\'s not a tic, it\\\'s accuracy and giving the audience information. The only thing he goes on about are the number of times he needs to ask the same question, and that isn\\\'t this trope (and it\\\'s already being covered by a more appropriate trope (RuleOfThree) on the character page).
TheComicallySerious: At the moment, the fandom is speculating this guy is a robot or cyborg. If that\\\'s the case, his comments aren\\\'t about comedy, they\\\'re about being mechanical. It\\\'s already a push claiming he\\\'s definitely a deadpan snarker. Comically Serious characters are identified by being straight men in bizarre or comical situations. The situation this guy\\\'s in is life or death, not comic.
FailedASpotCheck: This trope is for when a character fails to notice the obvious. Soifon stated she was hiding her reiatsu from him. He failed to spot her because she was actively trying to avoid detection.
PragmaticVillainy: This is when a villain refuses to do something horribly simply because it\\\'s not in their interests to do so. They will be villainous or non-villainous as need dictates. This example isn\\\'t about a villain who\\\'s being non-villainous any any stage he doesn\\\'t need to be villainous, it\\\'s simply a villain who is displaying escalating levels of interrogation pressure, beginning with verbal interrogation and increasing the pressure until he\\\'s maiming people to get what he wants. That\\\'s not this trope.
ToThePain: This is a method of torture whereby the person details the torture they\\\'re going to commit to make the target break before the physical torture actually occurs. Again, this villain is not doing that. He describes in gory detail what will happen to the person he\\\'s already skewered if he releases the skewer. The rest of what he does isn\\\'t this trope, it falls under the EnhancedInterrogationTechniques trope already being applied to [=BG9=] on the character page. It\\\'s therefore covered by a more appropriate trope already.

He gave Omaeda several chances to answer a question, refrained from especially harming Omaeda while interrogating him, allowed an extra 15 seconds so Omaeda could calm down after seeing Mareyo attacked, and [[spoiler:impaled Mareyo only because he wanted to intimidate Omaeda into saying where Soifon was. He also took the time to point out that, if he let go of Mareyo, she would\\\'ve been disemboweled, and asked Omaeda if he was okay with it.]]
* ToThePain: He calmly, coldly details what would happen to [[spoiler:Mareyo]] if he let her go, should Marechiyo not answer.
---------------------------------------------
I\\\'ve removed the above tropes from [=BG9=], for the following reasons:
CharacterTic: A BodyLanguage sub-trope centred on either facial expressions or physical gestures. Focusing on a character mentioning numbers would, at most, be a verbal tic, not this trope. However, this is his first major conversation in the manga, which doesn\\\'t have time to establish anything like this. His mention of numbers in his info on Soifon was simply listing off her title and introduction the way she would. The reiatsu information is nothing more imparting information to a reader, it\\\'s like the 12th division members who pointed out a 93% certainty of the enemy being quincies. It\\\'s not a tic, it\\\'s accuracy. The only thing he goes on about are the number of times he needs to ask the same question, and that isn\\\'t this trope.
TheComicallySerious: At the moment, the fandom is speculating this guy is a robot or cyborg. If that\\\'s the case, his comments aren\\\'t about comedy, they\\\'re about being mechanical. It\\\'s already a push claiming he\\\'s definitely a deadpan snarker. Comically Serious characters are identified by being straight men in bizarre or comical situations. The situation this guy\\\'s in is life or death, not comic.
FailedASpotCheck: This trope is for when a character fails to notice the obvious. Soifon stated she was hiding her reiatsu from him. He failed to spot her because she was actively trying to avoid detection.
PragmaticVillainy: This is when a villain refuses to do something horribly simply because it\\\'s not in their interests to do so. They will be villainous or non-villainous as need dictates. This example isn\\\'t about a villain who\\\'s being non-villainous any any stage he doesn\\\'t need to be villainous, it\\\'s simply a villain who is displaying escalating levels of interrogation pressure, beginning with verbal interrogation and increasing the pressure until he\\\'s maiming people to get what he wants. That\\\'s not this trope.
ToThePain: This is a method of torture whereby the person details the torture they\\\'re going to commit to make the target break before the physical torture actually occurs. Again, this villain is not doing that. He describes in gory detail what will happen to the person he\\\'s already skewered if he releases the skewer. The rest of what he does falls under the EnhancedInterrogationTechniques trope already being used, not this trope.
