* OffingTheOffspring: A rare sympathetic example; after their child Rui became a demon and started eating people, they tried to kill him to keep him from taking any more innocent lives. And it's very clear they're not happy about this at all, as they were going to kill themselves once they commit the deed.
* OnceMoreWithClarity: After becoming a demon, all Rui can remember about his parents is the night they tried to kill him.

* GoodParents: Two of the best parents shown in the series, and that's saying a lot since there are quite a lot of them most are either AbusiveParents, {{Posthumous Character}}s, or both.

* MamaBear: When Akeno found out that her husband was considering to kill Yoriichi for his strange birthmark and being a twin (considered a bad omen during the Sengoku period), She became furious and angrily grabbed his kimono, needing to be restrained by two servants. Akeno really did love both her children and was shown arguing her husband for their treatment.
* MoralityPet: For all her husband's flaws and how he treats [[ParentalFavoritism their]] [[TheUnFavourite children]], the only redeeming factor was his love for Akeno, being absolutely devastated by her passing.

* NiceGirl: A loving mother who cared for both of her children.

* SecretlyDying: Neither Michikatsu and her husband knew that Akeno was slowly dying except for Yoriichi, until Michikatsu learned the truth after Yoriichi told the news that their mother had passed away and after reading her diary that he found out she had been suffering for while.
