* FatalFlaw: Naivete and overconfidence. He's too trusting and tends to put too much faith in his weapons and abilities, causing him to struggle when his mouth writes a check he can't cash. For example, when Gigi tells him that should he find himself facing an A-ranked mage, he should focus all his efforts on escaping, not fighting, he states he should be able to do ''something.'' Along comes Dan, an A-ranked mage, insisting on a "friendly spar."

* ChekhovsHobby: His fascination with military tech in Japan allows him to make modern firearms in this new world.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Snow, whom he's known since infancy.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Mess with him and his, and he will show no mercy, presuming he gets to call the shots.
* HappinessInSlavery: In the beloved servant category. The wealthy family who buys him treats him ''as family'', with genuine affection, even training him in close quarters combat to make him even deadlier. In fact, they even let him marry Clarisse, the daughter they bought him for.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Met his death from being stabbed over and over by the bully ring-leader who brutalized him in high-school, and wound up a FutureLoser.
* MadeASlave: Shortly after signing up with the adventurer's guild, he's approached by what appears to be a senior adventuring party, who offers to show him the ropes, and has him cornered.

* ReincarnateInAnotherWorld: Gets stabbed to death on his way home in Japan, wakes up as a baby in an orphanage of another world.
* SkilledButNaive: His knowledge of crafting and using modern firearms makes him a force to be reckoned with, but because he was raised in a back-water orphanage, doesn't know about most of the horrors of the world. As such, he invariably takes way too much at face value. In short, you've got one shot at him to screw him over. Take it, and he survives? He will hunt you down, to retaliate with lethal force.
* SurvivorsGuilt: When he gets chased down by the bully ring-leader, and stabbed to death, his final thoughts are him believing he's getting his comeuppance for letting his friend be bullied to suicide.
* TheirFirstTime: Combined with ThreeWaySex. After getting married to two women he loves and renting a house for the three of them to live in, both his wives get dressed up in elegant sleep wear and then take up "come hither" poses on his bed. His response is to have the chains of his reason snap and [[TakeOurWordForIt takes them up on their offer.]]
* UnwantedHarem: Not that he's complaining, but he certainly didn't ask to have several very attractive women constantly throw themselves at him, two of which he winds up married to.

* GoodIsNotSoft: Mess with him and his, and he will show no mercy, presuming he gets to call the shots.
* HappinessInSlavery: In the beloved servant category. The wealthy family who buys him treats him ''as family'', with genuine affection, even training him in close quarters combat to make him even deadlier. In fact, they even let him marry Clarisse, the daughter they bought him for.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Met his death from being stabbed over and over by the bully ring-leader who brutalized him in high-school, and wound up a FutureLoser.
* MadeASlave: Shortly after signing up with the adventurer's guild, he's approached by what appears to be a senior adventuring party, who offers to show him the ropes, and has him cornered. He accepts only to learn, too late, that they're all fakes, who drug him, tie him up, steal all his equipment, [[KickTheDog destroy his engagement ring to Snow]], and then sell him into slavery, [[ForTheEvulz laughing all the while]].
* AMatchMadeInStockholm: With Clarisse, the sweet, shy, absolutely adorable little vampire girl to whom he was given as a sweet-sixteen birthday present.
* ReincarnateInAnotherWorld: Gets stabbed to death on his way home in Japan, wakes up as a baby in an orphanage of another world.
* SkilledButNaive: His knowledge of crafting and using modern firearms makes him a force to be reckoned with, but because he was raised in a back-water orphanage, doesn't know about most of the horrors of the world. As such, he invariably takes way too much at face value. In short, you've got one shot at him to screw him over. Take it, and he survives? He will hunt you down, to retaliate with lethal force.
* SurvivorsGuilt: When he gets chased down by the bully ring-leader, and stabbed to death, his final thoughts are him believing he's getting his comeuppance for letting his friend be bullied to suicide.
* TheirFirstTime: Combined with ThreeWaySex. After getting married to two women he loves and renting a house for the three of them to live in, both his wives get dressed up in elegant sleep wear and then take up "come hither" poses on his bed. His response is to have the chains of his reason snap and [[TakeOurWordForIt takes them up on their offer.]]
* UnwantedHarem: Not that he's complaining, but he certainly didn't ask to have several very attractive women constantly throw themselves at him, two of which he winds up married to.
