* SenpaiKohai: Both Riku and Geed are treated as seniors to both Haruki and Z despite the latter two being older than the former. Z sees Geed as a senior due to sharing the same master (Zero), but Geed brushes off aside that Zero only mentors him in life lessons and not the actual combat skills.



* SenpaiKohai: Has this relationship with Yoko in STORAGE and to Riku as Ultras. It's also why he started calling Z "Z-san" once he hears how old he is.



* SenpaiKohai: Has this relationship with Haruki, being the senpai to his kohai.

Added DiffLines:

* CelibateHero: As he proclaims in ''Ja no Michi wa Hebi'', Juggler is [[BloodKnight laser focused in fighting]] that any forms of having sexual relationship did not cross his mind. Hence this is the reason why he rejects an Alien Salome's advances despite her giving consent as a reward for his rescue.


Added DiffLines:

* DeadpanSnarker: Juggler enjoys delivering snarky remarks to the characters he interacts, be it his enemies or normal civilians alike. He only breaks this character in the face of actual dangers ahead or displaying genuine sympathy to certain characters.


Added DiffLines:

* OneManArmy: This guy has [[MasterSwordsman peerless sworsmanship skills]]. Juggler is able to fight his way against at least a total of 100 armed combatants at once. Aside from the aforementioned event from ''Ja no Michi wa Hebi'', he displays this in the series proper by incapacitating SAAG soldiers with non-lethal blows.

Badass Baritone has been disambiguated


* BadassBaritone: Z's grunts sounded very deep and intimidating. He still retains his tenor-sounding voice when he speaks. This is especially notable, as despite him being very young in Ultra years, his voice grunts sound deeper than Ultras who are much older than him



* BadassBaritone: Sports a deep voice evocative of [[Series/UltramanOrb Gai Kurenai]].



* BaritoneOfStrength: In the English dub, Hebikura is given a much more deep voice courtesy of Creator/MickLauer.

* CharClone: The [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bajeena]] archetype. He's the captain of a BadassCrew and TheMentor to TheHero under a pseudonym, the fact that [[SignatureMon Zeppandon]] and his [[AceCustom Dark Z Riser]] have red coloration, and his role as TheRival to the protagonist (from his own series) with a [[HiddenAgendaVillain personal agenda]]. While he tends to [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor go back and forth helping the good guys and briefly going back to being a villain]] one episode after another, he dovetails to the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Neo-Zeon Char]] archetype once he reveals his true intentions in episode 24.

In the ''Ja no Michi wa Hebi'' novel, he takes the trope too literally when he puts on a pair of sunglasses and black clothes to slip into Planet Kanon during his frequent visits to Micott's grave, not unlike Char putting on his sunglasses to pose as Quattro Bajeena. Sure enough, their disguises didn't do enough to fool the authorities and got compromised not long after.


Added DiffLines:

* PaperThinDisguise: As Juggler is incapable of mimicking another human, he is forced to disguise himself with different clothing to slip in unnoticed. For example, he disguised himself as a pizza delivery man to slip into [=SAAG's=] HQ and spying on Ultroid Zero with security guards none the wiser.
** This was also how he is able to disguise as Hebikura, which makes sense by faking a facial reconstruction surgery while the real one is dead.
** Subverted in his eponymous novel, ''Ja no Michi wa Hebi''. Given his criminal status in Planet Kanon, Juggler has to dress in black and wears sunglasses to visit Micott's grave unnoticed. It was implied that he often do this through his frequent visits, until the Interstellar Alliance caught up with his antics.

* WhipItGood: Zestium Drive works in a similar fashion as Tiga's Tiga Slicer, Dyna's Dyna Slash (or Flash Cycler) and Gaia's Photon Edge.
