* CelibateHero: Kurosaki frequently deals with beautiful women, whether they are the victims he intends to help out, or the Mark he should take down. Not to mention, he has Tsurara as his neighbor / tenant, and she has professed her love to him. Despite this, Kurosaki has made it clear that he intends to live as a swindler until he dies, and he believes that the path he has chosen is one that only he can walk.

* JustLikeRobinHood: Downplayed. Kurosagi does con other conmen in order to help restore what they've stolen to their victims (at least, the one Kuro knows), but not without cutting some profit for himself, and to pay back the information Katsuragi gives him. Kuro rationalizes that he isn't a righteous thief because they would give all the money he swindled to the victims.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Part of what influences Kuro to help people out. He's called on this in both versions. In the live action, Tsurara points out that if he was really just after revenge alone, he wouldn't do anything for the victims as he does. In the manga, he slips up at one point and says that he didn't want to help someone out due to the type of person they are, only for it to be pointed out by Katsuragi that he always claims he doesn't care about the clients. Upon it being pointed out, he shows a flicker of anger. Before leaving, he coldly repeats that he doesn't care who they are as a reminder.

Shiraishi's father was tasked by his company to convince the rest of the residents to move out, and bear the brunt of the people's ire at being evicted. Eventually, the residents grudgingly moved out, but barely a year after the move, the new building they were given collapsed, killing about six people, including Shiraishi's mother. Of course, Shiraishi's father received the blame from the furious residents for convincing them to move, even though he was also a victim in this arrangement.]]
