* InstantExpert: Part of his ability allows him to instantly understand the mechanisms of anything he's handled and recreate it on demand, even modifying them if he needs to, as long as it stays within the restrictions of his ability.



* ThePowerOfCreation: His Sigil can create objects out of thin air, with some restrictions. He can create [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation all sorts of conventional weapons]] (firearms, grenades, etc.), but not complex electronics like smartphones or large objects like cars. He can only use the ability so many times in a short period, and he actually has to understand how the item itself functions. Finally, objects he create only exist [[NoOntologicalInertia as long as he's conscious]], keeping him from amassing stockpiles of weapons which would break the game's economy.

* HobbesWasRight: [[spoiler: After massacring the Eigth, the Sunset Ravens effectively end up establishing Martial Law. Though all of the rules they end up enforcing end up being beneficial to majority of the community; prohibiting killing outside of events, limiting battles to matches held in the Danjou Boxing Club, providing safe houses and guidance to new players who find themselves in the game. About the only person who takes issues with this change of events is Themis and that's because their new rules have negatively impacted her finances.]]

* PersonalityPowers: Interestingly enough, it's [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]; Kaname generally has a relunctance to kill but his power actually lends itself quite well to ''assassinations''.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: Her chains make her opponents think her Sigil is exclusively limited to that type of weapon. As [[spoiler:Wang]] learns the hard way, her Sigil is way more versatile than it appears.



* SociopathicHero: She may be one of the "good" guys, being a member, and founder, of the Sunset Ravens, but she has to be given a reason to ''not'' kill people who irritate her. Anyone other than Kaname touches her without an engraved invitation is likely to lose that hand.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Deliberately trying to enrage Kaname by targeting his friends backfired in the most spectacular way possible. Kaname, realizing that Wang is beyond reason, eliminated his entire gang on the spot.


Added DiffLines:

* SwapTeleportation: He can swap himself with another person, which is less practical than simply teleporting away or cutting but good in a pinch if he's trapped. [[spoiler:It does him no good when he tries it on Shuka, because the wires trapping him are under her control and won't harm her.]]

* YouKilledMyFather: During the TrappedInAnotherWorld arc in the manga, she's revealed to have already fulfilled this on the person who murdered her parents; the ''Flag Game'' side story shows the events leading up to that moment. The anime, which originally aired while the latter was still in serialization, adapts her backstory early and inserts it during her scenes in Shibuya's subway.

He has the ability to create, not to magically store items.


* HyperspaceArsenal: Kaname's sigil allows him to summon any item he wants. This essentially allows him to summon whatever tool or weapon is needed the situation requires, and also provide weapons for his fellow clan members. The two limitations of his ability is he can only use the ability so many times in a short period, and he actually has to know how the item itself functions to be able to actually summon it.

* PowerfulButIncompetent: He's certainly not an idiot. He figured out the real purpose of the Treasure Hunt event shortly after Kaname did. His [[StupidEvil petty sadism]], delusions that ''he'' is the "hero" of Darwin's Game, and the fact he never faced anyone on his level before negate his intelligence and [[SpaceMaster powerful sigil]]. [[spoiler:He killed a hostage, destroying all his leverage, just to hurt Kaname. All it did was cause Kaname to [[GainingTheWillToKill realize]] that some people [[ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer can't be reasoned with and need to be killed]]. He always used the same move in his fights so Shuka easily countered him. When Shuka was about to kill him, he teleported himself 100 meters into the air. He was only ever able to teleport himself 10 meters before, implying that his sigil was far more powerful than he thought. He only realizes his mistakes as he is being disintegrated for losing the clan battle.]]

Kanehira in particular praises Kaname for having been BornInTheWrongCentury, and once Kaname finally receives formal hand to hand combat training from Alexei and Shiming, he becomes an absolute nightmare to fight.
