* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He has a lot in common with Yami Bakura, particularly his manga incarnation. Both are introduced relatively later in their respective series, and are initially friendly and innocuous but turn out to be hiding a darker side, being cruel, sadistic, and LaughingMad. Both are clever manipulators, but take very active roles in their plots. Both use Decks based on "evil spirit"-themed Fiend-types, vary their strategies considerably between appearances, and tend to favor lockdown strategies and alternate win conditions such as mill. Both serve mainly as agents of the GreaterScopeVillain. Both are distinctly inferior Duelists to the main character and rely on unfair tactics to get an edge, but tend to stay effective as villains due to cleverness. And both are incarnations of a villain from the distant past who was completely psychotic, but [[spoiler:had a sympathetic background]].

* SparedByTheAdaptation: A variation, and more like "Spared by the Dub". In the original version, Alito was framed for treason by friends of his rival (even though the rival did not approve) and executed as a result; the dub version simply says he was banished as punishment.

* TheHeavy: Of all the Barians, his plan to stop Yuma is simple- he just walks up to Yuma and attacks him on the spot. Later he shows that dueling wise he's likely the strongest of the Barians, able to go toe to toe with numerous opponents and come out on top easily. Kite is the only person able to really fight back against him for a real length of time.

* WorthyOpponent: In spite of his immense pride, he views Kite as this to the point that [[spoiler:he sheds tears at the latter's death, following their final duel.]] He also accepts a duel with Quinton and Trey solely because Quinton was the one who taught Kaito how to duel. Quinton even literally calls himself a worthy opponent and Mizar looked like he'd creamed himself.
