* IAmNotLeftHanded: Pulls this off ''twice'', first claiming his volund is a giant pair of scissors, then revealing it's actually the pouches on his hip that can produce any weapon, ''then'' revealing that his true volund is the gloves he wears which turn anything he touches into a divine weapon.

* CombatPragmatist: Knowing that Heracles is too strong to face head-on, Jack instead uses the battlefield and mind games to pick off Herc slowly.
* ColourCodedEmotions: One of his eyes is able to perceive people in the color of their current emotional state.
* FlechetteStorm: Alluding to his stabbings, Jack makes frequent use of throwing knives in order to take Heracles down.


Added DiffLines:

* TokenEvilTeammate: Of the Human fighters. As Herc represents everything ideal about a god, Jack represents Humanity's capacity for evil.

* DefiantToTheEnd: To his credit, he goes down swinging. When he loses his dominant trident hand, he just switches to the other. When ''the other'' hand is taken off he switches to his ''teeth'' and lunges at Kojiro in a futile effort.

* {{Fratricide}}: It turns out that Poseidon was not one of three brothers as myth dictates, but one of four-- Adamas, a psychopathic MonsterClown god, is this missing brother. Poseidon kills him because he thinks Adamas brings shame on the Gods' name for being inferior in his eyes.



* VillanousBreakdown: After Kojiro finally gets under his skin for getting a cut on him, Poseidon's develops a screaming hatred of him because he doesn't want to have lost to a lesser being.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulu: Rather than let Eve be punished for mistakenly taking an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, Adam decides he should get himself kicked out as well by deliberately munching on a basket of its apples and throwing them around haphazardly, right in front of the council of gods that were overseeing Eve's trial.

* PapaWolf: His stated reason for fighting on Humanity's behalf is this, considering he's its forefather. Even as he stand dying, his last thoughts are of his biological kids, and saving any kid out in the world who's crying.
--> ''Is there a reason a man needs to protect his own children?''


Added DiffLines:

* CoolOldGuy: He was not one when he died, but his appearance in the tournament is the result of him showing up in his hypothetical prime. In his case, this is after a period of time in which he perfects the Tsubame Gaeshi and also obtains HyperAwareness.

* HiddenDisdainReveal: Not for him, but his mother. She never loved Jack, only taking care of him in the hopes that the man who impregnated her would come back and save her from her current life. When she learned that he'd gotten married and left her behind, she wasted away and began showing her true colors to her son.
* SelfMadeOrphan: His first kill ends up being his mother, with the very next one being his father for what his neglect brought his mother to do.
* SonOfAWhore: For this version of him, he was born of an affair between a rich man and a prostitute.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In his youth, he was a baby-faced and friendly kid until the incident with his mother made him realize the beauty of a body dyed in the color of fear.

Added DiffLines:

* SacrificialLion: Like Lu Bu, his defeat is to stress that even with the Volunds, mankind ''cannot'' match the gods blow for blow and need to fight more intelligently if they hope to win the tournament.
