* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Essentially what she is for the entirety of the story, [[spoiler: besides the points where her powers are gone.]] Her ability to phase through solid objects is rarely useful against the plethora of other ESP users Rinka needs to fight, but one thing they do is allow her to even the playing field - traditional weapons don't phase her at all, meaning her opponents need to get into close combat with her, which she excels in. That being said, creative application of her powers allows Rinka to pull off some neat tricks mid-fight, such as [[spoiler: phasing in and out of an elevator to ambush the one person who is nearly equal to her in hand-to-hand combat]] and phasing her own melee weapons through her body to catch enemies behind her off-guard.

* MasterOfIllusion: His power.

to:

* MasterOfIllusion: His power. [[spoiler: As explained more in detail later, this isn't the full truth; the Professor's real power is a specialized form of telepathy that allows him to impart images and the sensory effects related to those images in a person's head. This is an important distinction, for two reasons; firstly, this makes the Professor incredibly powerful because unlike most illusionists he can indirectly kill people with his illusions. Rinka and Kobushi nearly die when the Professor makes them think they're frozen in ice, and thus their brains think that they can't breathe in any air, as an example. However, the second reason this distinction matters is that it gives the Professor a clear weakness; when other telepaths are around, they can overwrite or null any images the Professor puts into a person's head, leaving the Professor mostly helpless.]]

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Kozuki. By part 2, after being on the run with each other for the better part of two years, they have become exceptionally close, and much of their dialogue is suggestive enough to imply they're actually lovers, not just friends. They both make deep sacrifices for the other, and when Minami thinks that Kozuki died, she hits the DespairEventHorizon, and is only brought back by the revelation that she survived. By the time she's with Kozuki again, she all but outright says the words 'I love you' and promises that, after one final battle, she'll travel the world with Minami as a couple. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming She keeps that promise.]]

By their third and final fight, the tables are completely turned; not only can Rinka effectively beat down Minami, she can do it by handicapping herself due to having to hold Minami's hand; while Minami gets in some good hits, the start and end of the fight show that Rinka was never in any danger of losing in the slightest.

They both make deep sacrifices for the other, and in chapter 70, Kozuki actually begs Minami to run away with her instead of going off to fight alongside the professor. Also of note, her entire reason for joining The Professor was to ''steal'' the Ark of the Covenant so she could give it to her grandmother, something that was certain to let her hold the title of Black Fist. And for a while she looks like she really plans to cut and run with the Ark, even taking it to London with her and Minami...but she never goes through with it because ''she knows how important it is to Minami.'' She is so faithful to Minami she is willing to give up her lifelong quest to become Black Fist ''just to make her happy.''
