* CorruptPolitician: He not only used loopholes in the laws to rob his citizens blind, he also had a plane blown up in order to silence someone who knew too much about his corruption.
* DyingDeclarationOfHate: Before his execution, he declares that Tsukasa will lose all his loved ones in his quest to be the ideal politician and that he hopes his son will be consumed by regret.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Deconstructed. At home, he would act like an upstanding man in front of Tsukasa and give platitudes about being a benevolent politician so that the latter wouldn't expose him, making this a case of PragmaticVillainy rather than EvenEvilHasLovedOnes. This backfires because it gives Tsukasa a moral code that causes him to turn on his father once he learns about the latter's corruption anyways.
* HannibalLecture: During his final conversation with Tsukasa, Mitsuhide states that despite the former's good intentions, he still had to charm the masses into liking him and that their admiration for him will be fleeting. He also points out that because the public fell for his own lies and were too complacent and powerless to stop him, there's no way they can truly form a just society. Tsukasa couldn't come up with a counterargument to this, since he knows that he relied on the temporary passions of the citizens in order to gain power.
* NeverMyFault: Tsukasa claims his downfall was caused by his own disregard towards his duty, leading to the citizens turning on him, but Mitsuhide argues that the masses have so little agency that Tsukasa is the one truly responsible for turning them against him. The only thing he claims he did wrong is raising Tsukasa into becoming an idealist.
