* TheComputerShallTauntYou: Brings Tear to his knees countless times, but ''never'' takes any of these chances to kill him. Merely shaking his head at him and giggling, and then walking off-screen and disappearing, leaving Tear to stew in his humiliation.



* OffscreenTeleportation: Does this ''quite a lot'', as a means of reaching Tear, and then does it when he leaves. Tear would sometimes be in a completely different region, and [[SuperPersistentPredator Prak will ''STILL'' find him.]] His debut episode had a downright egregious example of this where he leaves southward after defeating Tear, only to ''immediately'' come back for round two. ''Coming towards him from the North.''



* StealthHiBye: Often shows up from behind Tear, announcing himself with either a roar or a pair of axes.
