History Characters / HighschoolOfTheDead

* HonorBeforeReason: They offer shelter and protection to civilians, even those who [[WhatAnIdiot actively oppose their efforts to keep "them" under control]]. Except Shidou and his followers.

* LustObject: The anime plays up Takashi's attraction to Saeko far more than the manga does. Such as when he first sees she's wearing nothing but an apron and a thong in episode 6, and slips up twice while staring at her breasts. But the ''"Drifters of the Dead"'' OVA exaggerates the [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]]
%%by having Taka`here's a ZombieApocalypse outside.

%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Rei's tomboy.

* PinkIsFeminine: Saya has pink hair, wears matching pink hightop sneakers and, while she and the others were resting at her family's estate, she wore a frilly pink blouse.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: When Hirano [[spoiler: fires a shot directly between Shizuka's chest and Alice's head]], while suffering from PTSD, Saya belts him. Twice.

* TheResenter: Because of her family's status, her parents expected much of her. The pressure to live up to their standards was stifling for her, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd4i_I4UPzo which caused her to resent them]] and is the reason she developed such an [[{{tsundere}} abrasive personality.]] Her bitterness grew when she thought they had failed to protect her during the outbreak. It takes [[ArmorPiercingSlap a slap from her mother]], followed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9fX6hihnSc a stern lecture]] to finally make her realize how much they cared for her.

* MsFanservice: The original, as she provided {{Gainaxing}} and {{Panty Shot}}s in the prologue alone. There's also an entire episode in which she's only clad in ModestyBedsheet due to getting massage therapy.

* {{Gainaxing}}: In episode 8, Takashi used her chest to absorb the recoil of a sniper rifle. Said recoil was so powerful, that it sent ripples across Rei's boobs and worsened her back injury.

* {{Gainaxing}}: In the anime, her breasts move fast enough to ''dodge bullets''.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: His WeaponOfChoice later on.

* ShesGotLegs: Does she ''' EVER.''' The manga makes sure you know it, because you'll be seeing a lot of them.

* CryCute: Seen during the first chapter, while she and Takashi have barricaded themselves on the school roof. She tries to call her father's emergency number, but loses the signal once he was out of range. The worst part being, that he hadn't recognized her voice.

* CryCute: Seen in chapter 29, when Saya whaps her on the noggin for making her worry. They make-up afterwards.

* CryCute: And not without reason, considering all the misfortune she had heaped upon her. The only time she ever cried out of happiness was when Hirano asked her to come with him.

** A few chapters later, she uses her sizeable endowments to persuade the guard at the Takagi Estate to let them into the compound. It works.

* ReallyGetsAround: There was apparently some, "interesting rumors" about her at school...

* {{Gainaxing}}: In the anime, her breasts move fast enough to ''[[UpToEleven dodge bullets]]''.

* LustObject: The anime plays up Takashi's attraction to Saeko far more than the manga does. Such as when he first sees she's wearing nothing but an apron and a thong in episode 6, and slips up twice while staring at her breasts. But the ''"Drifters of the Dead"'' OVA cranks the [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] UpToEleven

* LargeHam: Turned ''UpToEleven'' in the English dub.

* PantyShot: Along with a gratuitous ass shot and focus on her thighs.

* MegaTwintails: Her pigtails are impressive in terms of [[RapunzelHair sheer length]] ''and'' volume, with each individually being near equal the width of her head.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair extends down past her waist.

* FriendsWithBenefits: Implied that she doesn't mind getting naked with Rika while under the influence of drugs in the OVA, imagining Takagi as her friend. While she remains her ditzy self under influence, its still hinted that she wouldn't have minded without the drugs.

* {{Meganekko}}: Revealed in chapter 2, after she removed her contact lenses. She wears her glasses from then on.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Yuriko has pinkish purple hair.

* BeautyMark: She has a small mole under her left eye.

* {{Megane}}: And thrilled when he finds out Saya wears them, too.

* FingerlessGloves: Wears these whilst riding her bike... up a multiplatform display case.

* WrongGenreSavvy: She and Misuzu practically ''skip'' hand-in-hand away from the zombies chasing them, harping on about how [[ThePowerOfLove the power of their]] TwoGirlRomanticFriendship will carry them through the dark times ahead. Then poor Toshimi gets grabbed, and it goes as wrong as expected...

* MrFanservice: In the ova he is dressed very provocatively in a thong.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: In the OVA, he wears a very-tight fitting pair of speedos that tend to slightly show off his cheeks, along with a pair of boots.

* CorruptionOfAMinor: Thanks to his own perversion and sexual lust, the students left in his care become a group of deviants, who openly engage in full-blown orgies. Two of whom, become a pair a SchoolgirlLesbians.

* LustObject: Her age (27) hasn't stopped ''anyone'' from finding her sexually appealing. Takashi's friend, Imamura, said she was hot specifically ''because'' [[LikesOlderWomen she's an older woman.]] Takashi and Hirano have also been aroused by her, while Shimada said she had a nice body, right before trying to rape her; and even ''[[{{Asexual}} Shido]]'' of people is shown to be physically attracted to her.

* {{Asexual}}: Implied. Aside from [[MsFanservice Shizuka]] of course, Koichi shows no interest in the female gender.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Saeko's tomboy.

* EroticDream: In the 7th episode, she's shown on the couch with her legs spread while dreaming of Hirano. Then her thought bubble [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything dips between her legs and wiggles]], [[LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt making her blush and moan.]]
