Rei is found hanging out on a forum for them.[[/note]] Rei actually goes to the lengths of dyeing his hair an unnatural color (blue) when even people who have naturally brown hair are dyeing it black to avoid being mistaken for youkai.

* TheEmpath: Partially. Kenshin doesn’t like to drink from unwilling victims, both for moral reasons and physical ones; the blood from an unwilling victim tends to make him sick to his stomach. This may be psychosomatic.



* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Kenshin dies at least twice. In fact, the story starts with him dead.



* JapanesePronouns: He usually uses "sessha", an archaic term meaning something like "Your humble servant", often translated as "this one" to refer to himself. When he switches to "ore", the masculine form of "I", it means he's dropped the politeness facade and is about to lay down a beating.

Switching - in the modern day, switching back to "sessha" - is usually a plot point.



* MindlinkMates: With Aoshi, to the point that they sometimes don’t even bother forming words, just communicate with feelings. [[spoiler: And, eventually, with Saitou.]]



* WakeUpFighting: If he’s forced awake in the middle of the day he wakes up with [[{{MyInstinctsAreShowing}} the youkai in control]], particularly when a young ryu.



* [[spoiler: ForgottenFallenFriend: Averted with Kenji. Kenshin, at least, continues to refer back to him. ]]



* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Kenji dies and is revived twice in quick succession.
** [[spoiler: Averted when his soul is consumed and he can’t be revived. The characters are GenreSavvy enough to this trope by that point that it’s a shock. ]]

A teenager found on the internet to be a willing ryu convert, who is taken in by Atem.



* TropeHere:

to:

* TropeHere:
AdjustingYourGlasses: He does this every time he’s uncomfortable, or confident, or possibly just lacks something to do with his hands.
** SpecsOfAwesome: He does all his cool fighting with the glasses on.
* Adorkable: Trope called out by name by Atem.
* AuraVision: His ki-sense seems to be primarily filtered through his eyes.
* BadassBookworm: His prefered method of exploring something new? Read everything that has been written about it first, and then surely you are qualified to speak with authority on the subject.
** AwesomenessByAnalysis: In that he tends to substitute learning for practice. Given his LargeHam tendencies, it has only about a 50% chance of success, though.
* HumanPet: Is Atem’s submissive lover / all-but-literal-pet.
* LargeHam: He was actually making sound effects for himself while hunting. Called out on it in-universe, too - Atem thinks it’s adorable.
* PurpleEyes: Subverted because, while he does have purple eyes, they don’t actually seem to be significant.
* SubmissiveBadass: [[spoiler: He is eventually a Hiten Mitsurugi master in his own right, but he is absolutely submissive to Atem and Seth. ]]
* TeenageGenius: Downplayed because he’s not doing anything particularly impressive with it.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He does have blue hair; he dyes it that way, apparently. Possibly because he’s a youkai fetishist (and unnatural hair colors are listed as a sign of youkai heritage).
