* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: His merger with the Geomancer causes the crew to melt violently as they're assimilated into the new physical avatar of his power. It manifests as a bluish mass of warped faces that eventually results in a form that be best described as a misshapen abomination that is both mechanical and biological with Hazanko and Tobigera's faces on the left arm with a "tail" protruding from this arm with the other segment leads to a right shoulder with a long arm attached. It then fires an energy blast that initially takes the form of a wailing face implying it's powered by the souls of the crew itself.]]



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While Episode 15 shows Hazanko in a more enigmatic yet intimidating light while not hinting at the sinister personality hinted at in the narration of Episode 7. It's Episode 24 that shows who Hazanko is on a fundamental level. He has two elderly sorcerers continue with their ritual despite them being exhausted without considering their condition. When confronted by the Overseer, he initially hides his actions as being a necessity to get to the Leyline. When pressed further, he [[EvilIsHammy bombastically declares his ambitions to overthrow both the Tendo King and the Tempa Emperor]]. He then has him killed along with his guard to hide the evidence. This shows Hazanko as a ruthless and ambitious man willing to do anything to get what he wants even if it means to use and dispose of even his own allies.

* EvilIsBigger: He towers over his minions

to:

* EvilIsBigger: He towers over his minions including the already tall Hitoriga, but especially Gene and is essentially the most evil character in the story. It applies to his personal Grappler, the Geomancer, which is large enough that the Outlaw Star can be literally grabbed in its pincers like a small toy. [[spoiler: When he merges with the Geomancer, it increases to an even more gargantuan size]].

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite being comedic lechs from overt to subtle, their Caster Shells, [[BodyHorror include causing a target to be turned inside out via a gravity singularity]], a spell that blows you a great distance while near fatally killing the target, and a draconic spell that kills the user [[spoiler: it taking a literal DeusExMachina to revive them]].



* MsFanservice: Ark, Hadul, and Gene certainly thought so when it came to Urt, during her strip tease. They were so busy ogling the video she sent sent them, that they ''[[TooDumbToLive completely failed to notice the countdown in the video display]]'' (though Gene did ask about it, only for Ark and Hadul to dismiss it), until she pointed it out to them.

* LaughablyEvil: While he's normally a very serious enemy, during the infamous Hot Springs Episode, he tends to suffer astronomically coincidental bouts of bad luck that prevent him from completing his mission without any effort from the crew of the Outlaw Star, let alone becoming aware of his existence. He also proved to be hilariously inept as a supposed master of disguise, deciding to keep his mask and weapons- brandishing the latter in broad daylight.

* MinorInjuryOvereaction: When Gene grazes his arm, Harry completely falls apart and whines like a spoiled brat, despite being a psychotic killer who's killed an innumerable amount of people. This trait gets downplayed and subverted as his enhancements strengthen both his pain tolerance and emotional stability [[spoiler: to the point, he calmly opens the door to get to Melfina despite being given easily the most violent fatal injuries in the series]].

* BishonenLine: In the third direct encounter with the crew of the Outlaw Star, Harry fights with a bulky suit with arms longer than his torso with two gun torrents on the shoulders- while dangerous in long range, it is clumsy to maneuver in and it's easily taken down once Harry's fallen on his back with no means of fighting back when Gene guns him down. When his upgraded suit made by Gwen when they enter the Leyline, is a streamlined, form-fitting body suit that greatly enhances his physical properties including homing spike missiles and a mini-machine in his hand. Given that it manages to break Hazanko's mask- implied to be an impossible task to do even as a skilled Tao Master, the implications are that had he faced anyone else, including Gene with his limited Caster Guns and the remaining Anten Seven, he would've come up on top.


Added DiffLines:

* TheWorfEffect: It works in two ways. Harry loses to Hazanko to show how much of a threat he is compared to even a greatly augmented cyborg. However, destroying Hazanko's mask, an implied impossible task that not even other Tao Masters are capable of, implies that had Harry faced any of the other Anten Seven members, he would've had a far easier time dealing with them and would've likely cornered even Gene given how limited his ammunition is and how blindingly fast his speed and reflexes were. So Harry had the misfortune to face the one person who would conventionally one-shot him and survive the encounter.

Shimi/[[spoiler:Leilong]] is a jaded man who builds a friendship with Gene, Iraga is a lupine alien that turns into a two-tailed wolf with an ego that priotized her pride over her mission, Hammyo is an impressionable girl outside of combat that befriended Gene, Tobigera is [[ButtMonkey memorable for how utterly inept and unlucky he is]], Hitoriga is defined by his pretense of politeness as well as his psychotically mad obsession with Suzuka, and Jukai has both incredible arrogance and intense loyalty to Hazanko in addition to his unique fighting style. Hamushi...is just a confident sorceress whose lustful sinister nature is implied rather than stated, with her most memorable trait being [[CruelAndUnusualDeath her iconically nightmarish manner of dying]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: His deep connection with Suzuka is hinted at in his introduction with his unsheathed blade showing Suzuka's reflection within it. This implies that they've faced each other in the past and know each other on a personal level long before it's revealed in the penultimate episode.



* NeverMyFault: Outside of his attempt to replicate Suzuka's face so he may bask in having her looks to stroke his shallow lust, he downplays his deed of killing Suzuka's family as a factor for while Suzuka won't be his.

to:

* NightmareFace: His normal mask is that of a saggy bag with two black dots with a white jagged smile, making him look like a deranged scarecrow.
** His unmasked face isn't as terrifying but sinisterly off. He warps Suzuka's calm expressions with deranged facial warpings as if it's a creature barely able to get the basic grips of a Suzuka-like mask.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: Despite being an abhorrent person, he ultimately dies with a calm expression after Suzuka lands the killing blow.
* FightLikeANormal: Despite being an implied Tao Master, he primarily fights with his sword when dueling Suzuka. This isn't for honor as it's part of his deranged attempt to become the true Suzuka.



* {{Foil}}: To Harry of all people. Both are dangerously obsessed with women who don't love them back and go to great lengths to prove it despite their strong connection to Gene. Harry can't convey his feelings healthily without resorting to physical/emotional abuse despite his best attempts, but gradually loves her enough in his own way to let her go. Hitoriga's willingness to kill his love is implied to be shallow lust at best, has apathy towards her plight he directly caused, and is content on taking on her facial features to look upon them after he kills her. Hitoriga ironically dies more gracefully while Harry suffers one of the most violent deaths in the series.

* {{Jerkass}}: While he speaks politely, he's easily the most morally repulsive of the Anten Seven in his short focus in the series. He dismisses Suzuka's legitimate reasons- the deaths of her family- for wanting to kill him as a minor annoyance and she should get over it already. He also takes on her face in order to bask in a twisted sense of vanity and shallow lust.
** And unlike the rest of the Anten Seven who do their duties out of loyalty to Hazanko's vision or to pay the bills, Hitoriga uses his position for the sole sake of killing people and as a twisted means to an end to locate the target of his lust, Suzuka, which is both entitled and psychotically obsessive. Making him easily the most morally repulsive even when compared to Hazanko.
* LackOfEmpathy: He downplays his act of killing Suzuka's family to dismiss Suzuka's legitimate grudge against him.



* PsychoForHire: While the Anten Seven contain some mentally unstable members, they usually hold it in check for the sake of their mission. Hitoriga is heavily implied to use the title just to murder people as much as he wants and to seek out the object of his lust, Suzuka. He's arguably the most vile member of the group by this reason alone.

to:

* MaskOfSanity: While the true depths of his insanity are exposed when his mask is literally destroyed, he talks very casually to Suzuka despite being an unhinged and incredibly entitled stalker who modified his face to resemble the object of his lust if he couldn't win her affections.

* EvilSoundsDeep: Subtle but noticeable. When off duty, her tone is peppy and high as expected of a young girl. On duty however, there's a slightly lower and menacing tone as she takes the role of an assassin.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Suzuka.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Suzuka. He took an unhealthy fixation with her to the point he modified his face to look like hers and planned to keep it that way so he may look at it forever. This was after he killed her family and even brushed this fact off when Suzuka came to avenge them.
* {{Archenemy}}: Suzuka despises him for killing her family and his unhealthy fixation with her to the point that he modifies her family to resemble her own in an attempt to satisfy his shallow lust.

This is the reason he altered his face to look like her, thus he would ultimately be able to at least look at her face by looking upon himself.

As the final three episodes reveal, he's actually an extremely power-hungry psychopath whose violence is propelled by narcissistic anger and genuine psychopathy while using the Tempa Empire as a means to an end to get to the Leyline to achieve absolute personal power.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: While he's ultimately a member of the Tempa Empire, he's portrayed as very by the book and loyal to the Emperor, with none of the displayed arrogance and sadism that the Kei Pirates have shown with only a few notable exceptions. While he does wanted the Leyline for the Tempa Empire, it's implied it's not for the absolute power-hungry reasons that Hazanko desires it for- being a means to an end to maintain authority in the underworld. It indirectly implies and hinted through episode 7, that Hazanko's brutal and malicious methods are unnatural for the Guild and Hazanko proves to be an outlier with vast personal ambitions when he reveals his true nature.

As the initial fight with the Outlaw Star goes, anyone without that knowledge will have difficulty fighting off these three targets that can alternate between who's attacking from unexpected angles or corner the enemy with more numbers. It takes Jim coming up with a special plan to force the Outlaw Star to fight beyond its normal limitations to properly defeat all three.

However, over the years, he's come to the realization that his banality in working with Hazanko can only justify so much before he becomes increasingly disillusioned by the killings he does, realizing he's not living the right way and unlike the rest of the Anten Seven, he's not amoral to ignore the moral ramifications of his actions or sadistic enough to revel in the act of killing. [[spoiler: so he used the job to assassinate Gene as a means to fake his death and leave his life as a Kei Pirate assassin]].



* AffablyEvil: While her introduction with the other members present Hammyo was another confident and sadistic assassin, her focus episode reveals that



** This aspect is deconstructed in the opposite way than Shimi. While she's initially presented as another confident and sadistic assassin like the rest of the Anten Seven, her talk with Jim shows her to be bubbly, sweet, and romantic. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: [[DramaticIrony she died because she was too focused on the job aspect while on the clock as she nearly defeated the Outlaw Star as an enemy and then again, she is killed through Jim's plan to get payback- with neither realizing the identity of the other- treating her as another villainous Kei Pirate to kill]] as Jim believes that Hammyo had gone somewhere else while not aware he had her killed]]. Had Jim and the others been aware of what Hammyo's personality and identity were off duty, perhaps things would've turned off differently. If Hammyo had been more honest and had more misgivings about her profession, she would've come to the same conclusions as Shimi to leave the group before things got too extreme.

Added DiffLines:

* DefectorFromDecadance: [[spoiler: Leilong throws his fight with Gene and fakes his death to cut ties with the Kei Pirates after seeing the dedication of Gene's companions and being tired from killing that made him feel empty inside]]. Certain hints from his dialogue with Gene imply, that he was never fully on board with Hazanko's vision and [[ForcedIntoEvil only did so because he had to due to some incident in the past that forced him under the Kei Pirates and never got the sadistic thrill of killing as the others]] and years passing along only increased that self-loathing of working under Hazanko's barbaric group.


Added DiffLines:

* HeelRealization: It's heavily implied that [[spoiler: Leilong]] had this prior to his task to eliminate Gene. Unlike the other members of the Anten Seven, while he always had misgivings about killing others for the sake of Hazanko, but always repressed it until years of doing it disillusioned himself of any grandeur of this life. [[spoiler:so he used Gene as a means to fake his death and leave his life]].
