* [[spoiler:IChooseToStay: At the end with Iason.]]

* [[spoiler:SecondLove: For Riki.]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Riki wanted to leave the slums at all cost, thinking it would lead to a better life. He ended up living in the Eos Tower of Tanagura, and found that the extravagantly luxurious home of the Elites turned out to be worse to him than the slums ever were.* BeYourself: This was very important to Riki and he struggled with it to hang onto his crumbling {{Pride}}.

* BareYourMidriff

* PrecisionFStrike: To Iason, in front of all the Blondies at a party and punished for it with the Pet Ring.

* DeathBySex: It was foreshadowed early on when he slept with Riki that his reckoning would be severe.

* MrFanservice: Beautiful Elite is an understatement.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When it comes to Riki, at least.

%%* AintTooProudToBeg: He was stubbornly too proud at first to ever beg for anything but then after ''instrumental conditioning'' with the Pet Ring, he became this trope. Not that he would ever admit it.

%%* BadassDecay: Invoked through BreakTheCutie and BreakTheHaughty over the course of the story.

%%* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Attempted this and failed horribly.
%%* BreakTheCutie: Iason broke him completely after three years.
%%* BreakTheHaughty: The gist of his character arc in one sense. As everyone who knew him in Ceres can attest, Riki was a prideful if not arrogant person in his heyday as a Bison (albeit less so than they might have expected). But then came three years of having his pride incrementally tattered by Iason. By the time he returns to the slums, he's noted to be a shell of himself by former admirers... though he hangs onto some measure of pride until the very end.
%%* BrokenBird. After was taken by Iason as a pet.
%%* ByronicHero: Even after he had become a BrokenBird.

%%* DudeMagnet: Riki really isn't aware of how attractive he really is.

%%* LoveMartyr: Willingly died for his love.
%%* LustObject: Was this at first for Iason.
%%* MagneticHero: How Bison was formed since people gravitated to him; though he counts more as a AntiHero than straight-up hero.
%%* MiseryBuildsCharacter: He matured quite a bit as a result of being a Pet.
%%* MrFanservice: Often scantily clad or naked. Enough said.
%%* OperationJealousy: [[GoneHorriblyRight Executed a little too well]] and didn't get away with it.
%%* PoliceBrutality: He suffered this while being interrogated.

%%* PrecisionFStrike: To Iason, in front of all the Blondies at a party and punished for it with the Pet Ring.
%%* {{Pride}}: His FatalFlaw.
%%* RagingStiffie: Often subjected to this by Iason.
%%* RavenHairIvorySkin: In the 2012 OVA.
%%* RedOniBlueOni: Red at first to Guy's and Iason's Blue. Then later he becomes the Blue to both of the others' Red.
* ReleasedToElsewhere: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. After the "Daryl incident", the other Elites were lead to believe that Riki had been executed when he vanished from Eos along with [[spoiler:Daryl]] by Iason. Riki had in fact been released back to Ceres. Raoul isn't happy when he learns Riki is alive a year later after Iason had simply explained that Riki was "gone". Riki was in fact told by Iason that [[spoiler: Daryl]] was sent elsewhere when he, in fact, had been killed.
%%* RestrainingBolt: What Iason uses his Pet ring as to keep him under control.

%%* RoundhouseKick: Good at these. Fought off a whole gang of kids by himself with well-placed punches and kicks.

%%* SexForServices: How he wanted to pay his debt to Iason, having no other means.
%%* SexForSolace: Once to Iason after believing to be stood up by Guy.

%%* StockholmSyndrome: Develops one after learning how much of a risk he is to Iason.
%%* TheStoic: When he returned from Eos and was no longer HotBlooded.
%%* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: After he got back to Ceres.
%%* StreetUrchin: Was this when he was younger like all mongrels that leave Guardian.
%%* TearsOfFear: Because of and for Iason.
%%* TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason: Didn't want Guy and Bison in on his personal problems but they found out anyways.
%%* ThinkNothingOfIt: Riki reluctantly formed Bison as a force to protect and stand up for those too weak to fight for themselves in the slums. This made him a hero in Ceres but it was nothing special to Riki.
%%* ThisLoserIsYou: After he got back to Ceres and he didn't let it affect his pride one bit.
%%* [[TragicHero Tragic Anti-Hero]]
%%* TrainingFromHell: Iason put him through this to make him a suitable Pet.
%%* TroubledButCute: This trope sums up his life story. Half of Riki's troubles come from the fact he's attractive.
%%* {{Tsundere}}: Far more tsun-tsun to Iason than he is dere-dere to Guy, and is a far more serious case than the usual examples.
%%* {{Uke}}: Riki is an interesting case in that he used to be a {{Seme}} or more accurately a [[UsefulNotes/BoysLoveNotes Seke/Riba]] in a reversible relationship with Guy, but is made into an uke by Iason.
%%* UnwantedHarem: Throughout the story, Riki has no less than 2 different people chasing after him at one time. The obvious cases are Iason, Guy, Luke, [[spoiler:Kirie]], two different Pets and the remaining members of his gang that still respect his past relationship with Guy.

%%* WorkOffTheDebt: His pride wouldn't have it any other way.
%%* WrongSideOfTheTracks: Riki isn't just any Pet. He's a mongrel from the Ceres slums.
%%* YoungerThanTheyLook: The [=OVA=]s can cause confusion about Riki's age, in the 2012 remake, Riki is 15 when he meets Iason, and then after the three years, he'd be 18; though Riki's body is extremely well-built, even at the age of 15, making him look 19 at 15. In the 1990's [=OVA=]s, Riki states he's over 20 after being sent back to Ceres, so how old Riki is exactly is unknown in the anime adaptations. His age progression is made very clear in the novel though starting at 15 and ending at around 21 in the story.

%%* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed, but his more crueler traits are notably absent in the 1992-1994 [=OVAs=].
%%* AnArmAndALeg: Loses both legs.
%%* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: See SexualExtortion below.

%%* BatmanGambit: Executed flawlessly.

%%* TheBeautifulElite: An excellent example.
%%* BiggerIsBetterInBed: To a terrifying degree for Riki.
%%* {{Bishonen}}

%%* CasualKink: How he feels about using Riki's Pet ring.

%%* CoolCar: Owns one.
%%* CoolShades: His iconic pair.

%%* CulturalRebel: Becomes a Blondy version of this when he gets a mongrel for a Pet, starts engaging in sex and stops caring about the consequences of these actions.
%%* DeadpanSnarker: Very, very snarky.
%%* DeathBySex: It was foreshadowed early on when he slept with Riki that his reckoning would be severe.
%%* DefrostingIceKing: His entire character development could be summed up as this.
%%* {{Determinator}}: He wants Riki and won't stop at anything until he has him.

%%* EntitledToHaveYou: Regarding Riki.
%%* ForcefulKiss: Often to Riki as a means to calm him or just shut him up.

%%* HiddenDepths: So hidden that his actions concerning Riki befuddle the other Elites ''and'' even Riki.

%%* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Part of Riki's appeal to him.
%%* IWillWaitForYou: Waited for when Riki would truly become his.
%%* KneelBeforeZod: He wants Riki to be absolutely submissive to him and commands Riki to do this.

%%* LimaSyndrome: Develops one for Riki.

%%* LoveHurts: Unimaginably so for an artificial being that wasn't supposed to have any human feelings.
%%* LoveMakesYouCrazy: And abusive towards Riki.

%%* LoveRedeems: Riki believed this enough to join him in death.
%%* LuredIntoATrap: By Guy.

%%* ManipulativeBastard: To MagnificentBastard levels.
%%* MoreThanMindControl: How he managed to finally get Riki to love him.
%%* MrFanservice: Beautiful Elite is an understatement.
%%* NoBadassToHisValet: As the highest Blondy, nobody openly messes with him or threatens him to his face ''except'' for his SexSlave Riki.
%%* NotGoodWithRejection: He really didn't care that Riki didn't want to be his Pet.
%%* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When it comes to Riki, at least.

%%* PetTheDog: After reclaiming Riki, he eventually became gentle and kind to the mongrel the second time around. Some moments were downright sweet, awe inspiring yet [[SickAndWrong disgraceful and disgusting]] to all of the other Elites. Then again, this is partly because Riki has become more compliant, knowing better than to fight back again.
%%* {{Pride}}: Iason's high and mighty Blondy pride is severely affected by his love for Riki and is a contentious issue with the other Elites. It is slowly chipped away the deeper he falls in love.

%%* TheProudElite: Very proud of his status until he stops caring about it.
%%* RedemptionEqualsDeath: When Riki felt Iason's love and actions had redeemed him, he died.
%%* RedOniBlueOni: At first he was he Blue to Riki's Red, then he becomes the Red to Riki's Blue.

%%* RightThroughHisPants: He's fond of doing this while Riki is usually nude.
%%* [[spoiler:SecondLove: For Riki.]]
%%* {{Seme}}: Iason is a dominating and controlling Blondy.

%%* SoftSpokenSadist: So much so that Riki finds himself unable to resist even though Iason can be very sadistic.

%%* StalkerWithACrush: For Riki.
%%* StrawVulcan: Played with. Iason actually favors his newfound humanity. His ''unusual'' actions regarding Riki force the other Elites to find fallacies in what they considered ''common sense'' and re-evaluate their view of Pets as objects and not people.
* SuccessThroughInsanity: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by the other Blondies when Iason demonstrates the abilities of the D-Type Ring at Riki's second debut party at their requests. They think he is perverse, mad, yet a demigod among them for his uniquely ingenious method to ''house break'' a wild slum mongrel like Riki. Raoul is especially reluctantly impressed with the results.

%%* TheSyndicate: Iason is the head of it so even crime in Amoi is manipulated as a means to keep it under control. The BlackMarket is an extension of this.
%%* ThrowTheDogABone: When he temporarily released Riki back to Ceres to give him a breather from Eos.

%%* VillainProtagonist: For the majority of the story, he's actually the bad guy as well as the {{Deuteragonist}}!
%%* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: His initial concerns and thoughts when he realized how important Riki was to him.
%%* WineIsClassy: Old OVA often shows Iason holding a wine glass.
%%* XanatosGambit: Letting Riki return to Ceres for several reasons which would all benefit him no matter the outcome.
%%* XanatosSpeedChess: No matter how hard other Blondies like Aisha Rosen and Orphe Zavi tried with plots to be rid of Riki, Iason smoothly handled any situation to keep Riki as his Pet.

%%* YankTheDogsChain: Coming back to tell Riki that he had never been freed since his Pet registration wasn't cancelled and that going back to Ceres was only temporary.

%%* AnArmAndALeg: Loses his left arm.
%%* AntiHero: He meant well and did what he felt he had to do. Unfortunately for Riki.

%%* FirstLove: Riki's first love yet Riki was willing to leave him behind.

%%* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Feeling Riki was too broken and powerless to save himself.
%%* IfICantHaveYou: Tells Riki that this is OK so long as Riki doesn't go back to Iason.

%%* RomanticFalseLead: If you don't pay attention, you'll be lead to believe that he and Riki eventually get back together by the end.

%%* SmokingIsCool: Also a smoker.
%%* SmugSmiler: When too confident.
%%* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Guy or Gai?

%%* PretenderDiss: Suffered this a few times for not being able to match up to Riki.
