* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While in a hurry to meet up with Shirakawa, he almost runs over Tanaka while the latter was standing in the road distracted by his phone. This inadvertently damages the phone and costs Tanaka the Super Rare Dodo he'd spent four years tying to obtain in Zoological Garden, driving him to become homicidal and be after Odokawa for revenge.


Added DiffLines:

* DisproportionateRetribution: He's looking to murder Odokawa, ''not'' for almost running him over, but for (unintentionally) ruining his rare drop acquisition.

* DirtyCop: The older Daimon brother is on the take, using his authority to bully civilians, and take bribes from criminals. At one point he does a private search of Odokawa's taxi, then unsubtly warns him against telling other officers, lest a [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident "criminal armed with a gun kills [him]"]]. He apparently serves as a mole for Dob in "How To Spend a Long Night", when he passes the SD card to him in public. "Borrowed Plumes and the Bodyguard" further confirms he is Dob's pocket.
