Added DiffLines:

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Comparitively, Jin is actually the ''manly'' to Daitetsu's sensitive.


Added DiffLines:

* TheAce: According to the other members of the art club. Sometimes borders on InformedAbility since everyone talks about his abilities more often than the audience is actually ''shown'' them, and when the viewers[=/=]readers ''do'' get glimpses of Daitetsu's work, it isn't particularly spectacular or genius.


Added DiffLines:

* FriendlessBackground: Daitetsu was feared by his peers for his fierce looks, which resulted in him having very few friends growing up. Daitetsu even tells Jin that he shouldn't be a delinquent precisely because it's so lonely.


Added DiffLines:

* JapaneseDelinquents: Very obviously, Daitetsu is a subversion of this trope, though he can at least act the part for a little bit when he confronts other true {{delinquents}} in order to protect Jin.


Added DiffLines:

* TheQuietOne: Doesn't speak quite often, and when he does, he only tends to say what is necessary to get his thoughts across.
