* PragmaticVillainy: Hazanko specializes in this.
** After four of the Anten Seven fail to get Melfina and the Outlaw Star, he utilizes his Tao Sorcerers to open the Leyline themselves. Finding both just as they were opening it was serendipitous on Hazanko's end, which he more than exploits with Melfina.
** He tends to use assassins to be as low profile as they can to not draw the attention of the Ban Pirates due to the Outlaw Star being in their territory, [[spoiler: but it's actually to gain the means to use the Leyline before the Tendo King and Tempa Emperor find out]].
** Rather than continuing to engage with Gene in a fisticuff in cyberspace, [[TheAssimilator he opts to just assimilate him]]. This leads to his downfall as the pushback from Gene's sudden power boost from thinking about his comrades, causes Hazanko to lose the battle of the minds, which soon leads to defeat on the physical plane.



** Gluttony: While not traditionally gluttonous in terms of consuming vast amounts of food, he wants more excess of power despite having all the power he needs. [[spoiler: To the point, he assimilates his entire remaining crew when he achieves it]].

* AlasPoorVillain: Hitoriga of all people gets this. Despite vocally declaring his monstrous intent and an inability to understand Suzuka's pain, when he finally dies, it's as [[BaitAndSwitch expectedly pitiful as Yase given his shown character]] but [[FaceDeathWithDignity takes it as calmly as Kyokan did, beyond it due to Suzuka's face]]. Suzuka's solemn and silent expression not showing satisfaction hints that there was much more to their relationship before he became the psychotic Kei Pirate and it was especially painful but necessary to put him down as the man he once was.
** The light novels expand on the past, stating he was a fellow student of Suzuka's master and his killing of their master, which caused the irreparable rift between them.



* AxCrazy: Beneath his soft-spoken tone, is a deranged killer with such an unhealthy and obsessive fixation on Suzuka that he had his face be altered to resemble hers as a warped display of his lust for her.

* LackOfEmpathy: He sees Harry's [[CruelAndUnusualDeath unfortunate remains as a result of Hazanko's handiwork]] with indifference and is perplexed on why he should listen to Ron's request to remain with Harry as a sentimental request as if it were something absurd, not seeing how distraught Ron was about Harry's condition as a brother.

* TheSociopath: Not as barbarically violent as Hazanko, but Gwen is a surprisingly realistic one in a world of Tao Magic, armed spaceships, and shape-shifting aliens. He puts on a public persona as a favorable figure in the public eye but on a personal level, he is perplexed by how people function beyond the rational- being bewildered by Ron's request to remain with Harry and how emotionally distraught he is at the moment, having a grandiose sense of entitlement for omniscient knowledge no matter who he uses to get there, can be surprisingly impulsive in getting what he wants, and he states' horrific condition that left Harry fatally wounded as a mark of Hazanko's handiwork in a nonchalant manner while not showing any truly powerful emotional response to the sight.

* CardCarryingVillain: He dismisses Suzuka's legitimate grudge as a minor annoyance and takes pride in being a killer. He even lampshades how Suzuka and himself won't ever reach an understanding due to a fundamental difference in moral ideology.



* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He believes as fellow killers that he and Suzuka understand each other, but Suzuka points out that Hitoriga sold himself out to be a lackey of the pirates in order to indulge in killing while Suzuka remains her own individual who kills because it's a job for money and not of sadism. The fact that he dismisses her

* EvilCounterpart: Besides how his unmasked self resembles hers, the two are hired killers who kill for their employers. The distinction is that Suzuka only kills for the sake of a job and takes pride as an individual while Hitoriga kills for just the sake of killing and is a parasite that latches onto the skills he took from Suzuka's master, the influence from the Kei Pirates, and Suzuka's own face to fulfill the emptiness of his being.

* EvilOldFolks: His voice gives the impression he is a much older man who lusts after Suzuka, which is heavily implied to have started when Suzuka was much younger when he began to fixate on her. This implied age difference paints Hitoriga's already twisted obsession in a much revolting light.

* ForTheEvulz: It's heavily implied that Hitoriga killed Suzuka's family and that of the countless he killed for the Kei Pirates for sadism. This along with his repugnant obsession with Suzuka, makes him morally the worst of the Anten Seven as the others were either doing their out of loyalty to Hazanko or a pragmatic means to pay the bills.
