History Characters / KazeNoStigma

!!Wernharde Rhodes

* WorfHadTheFlu: A justified version with Kazuma vs. Ayano late in the series. Kazuma's evil persona is sufficiently less powerful than his norm that Ayano (who usually cn't hold a candle to him) is finally able to win a bout. Kazuma even lampshades this when he begins returning to his senses.

* BodyguardCrush: Ayano's father uses the excuse of hiring Kazuma as Ayano's bodyguard to keep the two together in hopes of pairing them off, but Kazuma is actually smart enough to realize.

* DeclarationOfProtection: He promised Cui-Ling to protect her, only to fail. He now has decided to protect his present; Ayano.

* GenreSavvy: Is well aware that his bodyguard job is nothing but a ploy of Juugo in order to get him and Ayano together to accomplish several of his goals (the main one being returning Kazuma to the family and being a full fledged ShipperOnDeck). Genre Savvy or not, he still falls for her anyway ending the anime in an introspective DeclarationOfProtection for Ayano.
