* BadPowersGoodPeople: Noriko can draw lifeforce out of people to sustain herself. Even though she protects the morally-unsound Enki Goku, she does it because he protected her when she had nowhere to go.

* AndThenWhat: The main reason why he doesn't break out for real. His only talent is lockpicking and the like, so it's the only thing he's really capable of doing (to the extent he's absolutely atrocious at any kind of other skill) but he has nothing outside of the prison, having no implied family or anyone else who cares for him. Bycoming issue is that his honorary family is ''inside'' the prison. He basically has no plan as to what would happen once he's outside, and so, he's pretty okay with staying incarcerated.

* OrganTheft: Was kidnapped by Hachiman and had his organs essentially held for ransom to force him to use his qigong for the Chinese Mafia.



* MeaningfulName: The kanji for ‘five’ is literally in his name. ‘Ruka’, that can also be rendered as ‘Luka’, is the same kanji that is homophonous with the name of [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} another Luka]] - 流 is ‘flowing’ or ‘circling around’, and contains partially the kanji for ‘water’; all references to how he represents Sha Wujing/Sa Gojou/the Water Monster in the story of Journey To The West. It’s a running gag to call him a kappa, which is what Sha Wujing is often confused being.

Dewicking Ill Boy


* IllBoy: He needs to take medicine for his various conditions, but is otherwise fine.[[spoiler: Or not. If he doesn't get his medications, then the pain will take over and bring out his murderous split-personality. That's thanks to all the torturous experiments prison doctors performed on him in the past; the poor guy doesn't even know about it's existance. Also, part of the reason for the constant medication is that all the experiments left him with an insane level of power and ability for impressive physical feats, but his body structure is so weak and unstable that it could kill him if he uses it.]]

Rapunzel Hair is no longer a trope


* {{Rapunzel Hair}}: Wears his hair in a thick braid that reaches past his ankles; you can barely see anything other than his face when he sleeps with it down. It's even more prominent in the manga, where he pisses Rock and Jyugo off with how he constantly makes them late because of how long it takes to brush and braid it in the morning.



* RapunzelHair: An ''ankle-length'' braid, it's thinner than Uno's.
