Added DiffLines:
* MirrorCharacter: To Bragas Regus. Both men initially hold positions of great authority in their respective countries and greatly value physical strength, but other than that, their philosophies are almost total opposites.
** Both men ask Thor what he can possibly contribute to the country while being a total weakling. For Bragas, this was a rhetorical question. The general, on the other hand, is very interested in the answer.
** Bragas only cares about his own prestige and will go through any means to improve it. The general cares about his prestige, but is far more invested in his honor.
** Bragas is a coward who loved to beat up on Thor, knowing the latter couldn't fight back. General Respalgia never showed it, but he was impressed that Thor would have the courage to speak to him face to face despite being a weakling.
** Bragas only cares about how his children can boost his name, and when Thor couldn't brutalized him. The general cares more about his children's welfare, and when Thor fixed Agnis's issues, is ''proud'' to consider Thor his son-in-law.
** Bragas bent himself into pretzels to keep himself ignorant of Thor's merits so he could tell himself the boy was useless. General Respalgia swore UndyingLoyalty to Rukia after seeing that Thor's alchemy skill is mission critical to army logistics, and Thor himself swore his servitude to the Demon King herself.

* NiceGirl: So much so that when Thor walks in on her, naked, playing with the salamander in the bath, she ''apologizes'' for either bypassing the restrictions (novel) or failing to put up the warning sign (manga) and losing control of her flames when she had a proper FreakOut. Then she '''thanks him''' when he provides her the [Ultra Simple Warehouse] to use as a stop-gap measure until the [Health Pendant] is ready for her.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She is so protective of Thor that even her father speaking ill of him will result in being on the receiving end of a German Suplex, and thanks to the [Health Pendant] turning her flames to physical strength, she can manhandle her father as if he was a helpless child, and '''he''' is one of the top 5 generals in the Demon King Territory, based on strength alone.
Added DiffLines:
* NeverMyFault: When Crown Princess Liana specifically commissioned her sword to be repaired, she specified that it was to be made fit for battle (at least in the manga), yet Duke Bragas Regus completely forgot the commission entirely until one of her knights came knocking at the door, asking about it [[DramaticIrony after Thor was banished]]. At this point, he blames the alchemist guild for not sending him reminders even though he himself ordered them to never tell him anything his son Thor was working on.
** When Liana is raking him over the coals for the fact that her poorly repaired sword shattered, nearly getting her killed, he tried to blame the alchemist guild for his shortcoming in presuming the sword was only supposed to be ceremonial, despite Liana specifying she wanted it fit for battle.
** He tries to backhandedly blame Liana for taking a ceremonial sword into battle by asking if the sword wasn't meant to only be used in non-combat rituals. Liana then makes public that she originally tasked him to make the sword battle-ready in the first place.
** When he and his butler are summarily frog-marched out of the party, he turns and shouts down the butler for providing a sword with only cosmetic repairs and leaving obvious proof. While this has some merit, it was his own willful ignorance that led to the situation.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In the manga, he's right to shout down his butler and put the oaf under house arrest for being directly responsible for the incident that smeared the Regus family name with mud by arbitrarily deciding to make purely cosmetic repairs on Liana's sword without clearing it with him first, '''and leaving behind obvious proof.''' Of course, the lion's share of the blame goes on Duke Bragas for exiling Thor and willfully keeping himself ignorant of who was working on the sword, but the butler clearly exceeded his mandate and only made things worse.

This really turns to bite him, so hard it's painful to watch, when Princess Liana comes looking for her sword, that he himself commissioned to be fixed, and he had wound up exiling Thor who was working on it out of willful ignorance, and then deluded himself that as long as the sword looks okay that's good enough.

* HeroWorship: Deconstructed. His national policy is nothing more than a terribly skewed attempt to emulate the characteristics of the summoned heroes his people admire, particularly their combat strength. Because he can't think outside the box, he fails to consider all the support the unsung heroes provided to the legends, and dooms his country to a slow death by stagnation and decay, by scorning his R&D specialists, the alchemists.

** When he's in the throne room being reamed by Crown Prince Diaz for his subordinate's completely inexcusable screwup, under his orders no less, he thinks back to how Princess Liana became completely listless after her "useless" older sister Sophia was sent away to the border and can't understand, for the life of him, why Liana sees her sister as a LivingEmotionalCrutch and had her morale completely collapse after Sophia was sent away.

* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: He honestly considers Thor using his gods given [Alchemy] skills to benefit whatever country he's in an utterly shameful act and does his best to suppress it. He considers the fact that he banished Thor to what he believed to be a hostile power to be inherently praiseworthy and is completely flummoxed when people who don't have to bow to his ducal authority '''completely and utterly lambaste him''' instead.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: When word gets back to him that General Respalgia considers Thor his daughter's fiance, his mind loudly goes "Does Not Compute" as he can't possibly comprehend why a mighty warrior would want his daughter married to a clear and present non-combatant, regardless of the boy's merits off the battle-field.
