* UnskilledButStrong: Played for laughs. He can fight technically when he needs to, but his enormous blade is hardly subtle and the flame kata emphasizes offensive power. He often tries to show off his techniques and cunning, only for the witnesses to trivialize his methods as brute force.

* MasterArcher: He fights with a bow and arrows in a series where melee weapons are far more common. He trained for years and has gained enough skill to master not just normal arrows, but the deadly Kuruiya (Crazy Arrows), which includes a super-heavy arrow, one able to curve midflight and a monstrous four-pronged one capable of shredding flesh and bones to short range. In his first appearance (before his ulterior training) he claims he could pin all the falling leaves from a tree to the trunk without having a single one touching the floor.

* TechnicianVsPerformer: In earlier chapters, when he and Zenmaru fought as a pair, Zenmaru fights with bragadocious fury and an oversized sword, while Shin cuts his enemies down quickly and concisely with swift iaijutsu and masterful strokes.
** Conversely, Shin's fighting style revolves around tricky, unpredictable attacks, while Zenmaru simply charges in and crushes his foes.



* ThoseTwoGuys: With Zenmaru at first, traveling abroad together, then locating and navigating Unabara together, and finally defending Naoyoshi and backing up Gama as a pair. Once Iori returns, Zenmaru and Gama are paired off as the younger, less experienced swordsmen of the school, and Shin starts spending more time with Iori, discussing matters as the more experienced and older members of the school who trained together in their youth.

* BerserkButton: More than a few. Being compared to a monkey or ape, having his prowess compared to the younger and smaller Gama, being considered stupid or slow, an ally getting more attention from the opposite sex, etc. A particular pet peeve of his is whenever someone praises or criticizes his brute strength without acknowledging his ''skill''. This is often played for laughs, as most of his techniques boil down to smashing people with his {{BFS}}.

* GracefulLoser: So it seems, at first. When his comrades are defeated and he stands alone against the four members of the Ogame school, he graciously concedes defeat. But then he admits it has far less to do with grace and more with his own selfishness and personal motives, coldly telling his frightened master that he has no intention of dying for some lord or spear school.

* BigGuy: The most muscular and imposing of the divine spears. Justified, as Onidachi weighs a whopping 20kg yet he wields it with the ease and control of one of his own limbs.



* BloodKnight: Not as severe as many other characters in the cast, but he still enjoys a good fight, seemingly getting a huge kick out of his duel with Gama. He complains about one of the rival schools he destroyed being far too weak for his liking.



* BoisterousBruiser: Far less than Zenmaru, but he's still an upbeat and energetic man with incredible strength, deep love for battle and respect for his opponents. Sasuke tells Zenmaru that the swordsman actually reminds him of Shingo.

to:

* EnlightenmentSuperpowers: He needed to build serious strength in order to wield Onidachi, but that alone isn't what makes him so skilled. After years upon years of grueling training, he had a stroke of comprehension in the middle of a workout and suddenly he and Onidachi were one and the same. Esoteric stuff aside, this means he can handle a spear that weighs 20kg and is four meters from point to butt as if it were an extension of his own body.
* HeroicBuild: His training made him so physically powerful that his body is described as ''perfection''.
