* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Maynard is shown to love his parents dearly and right before leaving for Morioh, a flashback shows him visiting their graves.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Between Maynard (who's in his later 40s) and Johngalli (who's 24 in this story).
* SicklyChildGrewUpStrong: In Chapter 25, Maynard's backstory as a sickly teen of a well-off couple is shown, easily catching off various viruses and falling ill frequently. It's even mentioned to follow him into an adulthood, only fully going away after he obtained [[FightingSpirit Lateralus]] and had [[AppliedPhlebotinum a BAOH Booster]] used on himself.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: PlayedWith. Maynard does have the best of humanity's interests in mind, intent on evolving them to match or even surpass vampires and pillar men. He's also very concerned about the potential of Baoh to run amok after hatching its progeny and killing Ikuro and intends to destroy it after it's studied. However, he doesn't deny he intends to reap profits all the way through.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: When comforting Josuke during the latter's panic attack, he mentioned his beloved mother's death. He's also shown to have his maternal grandparents, Dennis and [[spoiler:Rudol von Stroheim]], in high regards.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: {{Discussed}} in Chapter 22 when Manishu admits that his attempt to kill Jotaro and his friends would have ended up with him dead as well, since they were in the middle of the desert at the time and Manishu wouldn't even be able to use his stand to get himself out.
* HeelFaceTurn: Cements on in Chapter 22 when it's revealed that Maynard tricked him about Kakyoin still being alive to take revenge on.
* GrimReaper: D13 Trouble No More retains the appearance of [[NightmareWeaver Death Thirteen]], but it also gains an extra meaning to its ability, being able to recreate departed people via people's memories of them.
* LotusEaterMachine: The way D13 Trouble No More's recreation of people works, pulling from people's memories to recreate a person. Different perspectives on the same person allow him to create a more true-to-like copies that are all independent of his will.
* MasterOfIllusion: D13 Trouble No More is the combination of this and LotusEaterMachine, creating a perfect copy of the real world and trapping a person within unless they're physically touched in the real world.
* NamedInTheAdaptation: Mannish Boy is given the name of Manishu Brando. Somewhat {{Downplayed}}, as "Manishu" was a name that he had in localization.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In this story, Mannish Boy is the youngest of DIO's sons, introducing Jotaro to the idea that DIO might have procreated.
* TookALevelInKindness: Manishu is considerably nicer than his ''Stardust Crusaders'' incarnation, at least when things go his way. It's {{Justified}} in him being humbled over the years.
* VengeanceDenied: What ultimately cements his HeelFaceTurn, as it's revealed to him that Kakyoin was killed by DIO years ago, and he was just strung along by [[BigBad Maynard]] who wanted to have his powerful stand ability on his team.

* LogicalWeakness: The secret to the ridiculous length of Lateralus's time rewind ability is his superhuman stamina. When Highway Star drains that stamina in Chapter 25, Maynard is left stumbling, requiring much more effort to use his ability.
