Even with all his wonderful toys, this turns out to not be the case. Since both got a lot of buildup, this avertings it for the monster, but plays it straight for Oka himself.]]

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Using the Nurarihyon Alien's severed head to disintegrate several of monsters in its own brood.
* FishOutOfWater: The Osaka Arc is his first time as a Gantz player. The only reason he survives is because he and his friend were smart enough to wear the suits, and because more than a few people take the time to save him.

%%* DarkActionGirl: Tries to come off this way at first. It doesn't last long.
* HeroWorshipper: Like The Nerd, Anzu is so astounded by Kato's bravery that she not only joins his cause, but falls in love with him on the same night that they meet.
%%* HeroicSacrifice
* {{Irony}}: Of all the Osaka members, Anzu lives possibly the most morally ambiguous normal life. While most of the PsychoForHire types you read about earlier are shown to be mild mannered members of the workforce in their normal lives, the sweet and attractive little Camper Anzu is shown to be passively neglectful toward her son so she can focus on earning money. By illustrating porn. In her living room.

* BloodKnight: A subtle version.
* CombatPragmatist: Uses the most powerful weapons and armor Gantz has to offer not to protect the weak innocent, but to increase his odds in battle despite the fact that he is plenty dangerous without all of it.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Apparently ripped apart by Nurarihyon. We only see that he's missing everything below his chest.]]
* CurbStompBattle: He's cleared seven missions with 100 points. At the time, it was considered next to impossible to get more than a few points each mission.

Even with all his wonderful toys, this turns out to not be the case. Since both got a lot of buildup, this avertings it for the monster, but plays it straight for Oka himself.]]
* WorthyOpponent: Nurarihyon considers him to be something like this, claiming "he was fun" when confronted with Kaze's "predictable" martial arts. [[spoiler: It even abandons its fight with the Tokyo Team to hunt Oka throughout Osaka, and destroys several buildings in the process of killing him.]]
