* AntiHero: When first introduced he comes off as a heartless, weak-willed sociopath perfectly fine with allowing his adoptive sister, Rukia, to get executed for no reason other than it's the law. He reasons this by saying that feelings and emotions have no value compared to the law and that he never had them to begin with. However, this is revealed to be not quite true when the reason for his actions are revealed; in the past, he was married to Rukia's older sister, Hisana, but she passed away, and asked him to find Rukia, take her in and always protect her. However, this was frowned upon by the Kuchikis, and he made a vow at his parents' graves to never break the rules again. Needless to say, Rukia's execution brought these vows into question and he didn't know which one to keep. Ultimately, he regrets choosing the former. He becomes more lenient towards Rukia after this, but nonetheless remains a ruthless warrior who shows no mercy to anybody, making him arguably even worse than Kenpachi, who violent and fight-loving as he is, at least has the decency to spare the lives of those who can't even defend themselves, even if it is for the wrong reasons.

* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: The reason why he can't show his feelings as openly as he'd like to. It's also the reason why he starts off looking like a villain which develops into looking like a Type III anti-hero but which is eventually revealed to be this type of character instead. See main entry.

* GrayEyes: He's the cold, strong willed type.

* UpperClassTwit: He loves to flaunt his status and gives the impression of being promoted entirely based on family prestige. Though as mentioned above, [[ObfuscatingStupidity it's (partly) an act]].

* UpperClassTwit: He loves to flaunt his status and gives the impression of being promoted entirely based on family prestige.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: For a captain in healing division, her parameter in Strenght is 100 (maximum). On par with Aizen, Yamamoto and Kenpachi

* WolfMan: He's a giant humanoid wolf.

* PettingZooPeople: He's a giant humanoid wolf.

* BreakTheCutie: First her captain is murdered after a FriendshipMoment with him, and then she attacks her allies in a blind rage convinced that they had something to do with it. Finally, said captain turns out to have been faking his death and stabs her [[KickTheDog despite having nothing to gain from doing so]]. After he has fully defected and left for Hueco Mundo, it turns out she has so much faith in him that she refuses to see him as the bad guy. When she finally gets her shit together and recognizes him for what he is, she ends up getting attacked by all her allies and stabbed by her oldest friend. [[FromBadToWorse Then, after all of that, there’s what happened during the final arc, where Soul Society(which is basically her home) gets invaded and destroyed by an army of assholes]] who kill everyone they see and end up killing a lot of her soul reaper colleagues, some of which were people she personally knew as friends. [[IronWoobie Thankfully, if the manga’s last chapter is any indication, she hasn’t given up hope and is still fighting the good fight as the lieutenant of squad 5.]]

His Zanpakuto is '''''Hisagomaru''''', a katana that heals damage of instead of creating it when it cuts. Upon "absorbing" enough wounds, it transforms into a tiny scalpel capable of launching disproportionately powerful energy blasts.

* TheUnreveal: For the entirety of the manga, and even the light novels afterwards (which serve to answer numrous things that never got revealed during the series proper), the abilities of Iba's zanpakutou are never disclosed.

* CreepyGood: In his battle against Yhwach, Yamamoto is technically fighting to protect Soul Society but he enjoys seeing Yhwach suffer a bit too much. Wrapped in the flames of his Bankai, Yamamoto evokes the image of an infernal demon and uses its South ability to summon an armada of charred skeletons to attach his enemy. When Yhwach tries to fight back, Yamamoto attempts to torment him by pointing out that some of the skeletons were his former subordinates. Yamamoto doesn't realize he's fighting a subordinate of Yhwach called Royd who has the ability to mimic Yhwach's appearance. As a result, the tears Yamamoto thinks he's drawing out from Yhwach are instead the compassion of the disguised Royd.

* WeakButSkilled: Momo knows she's got no super strength or raw power, but uses what she already has (more exactly, her high efficency with kido) in rather versatile combinations. Which she's also able [[IndyPloy to whip out VERY fast in the middle of the battlefield.]].

* AllForNothing: Yamamoto's death drives Komamura to undergo the Human Metamorphosis, temporarily gaining more power and immortality at the cost of losing his humanity. After his fight with Bambietta, the timer runs out and Komamura transforms into a wolf without power or the ability to speak and is therefore unable to continue the quest to defeat Yamamoto's killer, Yhwach. With Yhwach's final fate to become the new Soul King and be protected by the Soul Reapers that had previously been trying to kill him, Komamura's sacrifice is achieves none of the goals Komamura set for himself.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: He values Rukia much more than he reveals. Even after Soul Society, he does tend to be distant, but he is extremely angry at Zommari intending to kill her after [[PostVictoryCollapse she falls unconscious due to injuries from Aaroniero]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Acts pretty harsh, but actually values his sister and Ichigo quite highly.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: He can fight it all he wants, but he can't escape the truth that this is how things stand between him and Ichigo.

* HotBlooded: As a child, he was this. The signs are that it hasn't gone away, he's just learned to [[SugarAndIcePersonality hide it better]].

* KnightTemplarBigBrother: When Byakuya asked Zommari if he was the one responsible for bringing Rukia to the verge of death, Zommari confirmed that he was not, but he was planning on taking her life. That's all Byakuya needed to hear to toss away any pretence of duty and destroy Zommari for even thinking about pointing a blade at his sister.

* MarryForLove: What he did with Hisana, in defiance of his family.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Renji was also introduced acting [[CardCarryingVillain almost gleefully villainous]], [[WouldHitAGirl putting Rukia in a forceful choke-hold and even attacking her with his sword with lethal intent]], to the point of drawing blood. This is in stark contrast to his later characterization, especially in regards to his feelings toward [[ChildhoodFriends Rukia]] and [[WouldntHitAGirl fighting women.]]
