* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Kiryu cracks a grin at a skinhead blurting out that he thought the Japanese were supposed to be short.
* CategoryTraitor: The Empire dubs Sherrel a traitor to the Aryan race by being friendly with foreigners.
* CommonalityConnection: Kiryu and Sherrel strike a friendship over both being passionate about Pocket Circuit.
* FamedInStory: Hilariously, other than the whole "Dragon of Dojima" thing, Kiryu is also famous as a legendary Pocket Circuit racer several years after he last raced.
* SideBet: Haruka and several ex-Tojo Clan members have a betting pool over when Kiryu will have his first major fight. Haruka wins the pool with "within two weeks, against a Parahuman gang leader, and will win within thirty minutes". Kiryu returns home just in time to hear Daigo yell "FUCK!" over the phone.

* ScewedPriorities: Kiryu's Trigger event had him trapped in a flaming building... And when he gets home he's just glad he left the groceries out of said building. Haruka just sighs.

* CrimeConcealingHobby: Nishida spends a morning conducting the crew of Fortress Construction while they're singing loudly enough to get noise complaints to hide the screams from the struggling E88 goons they have captured.
* EarWorm: The Fortress (read:Majima) Construction anthem is so catchy that a police officer tells them the local office workers have started singing it.
* InternalReveal: Kiryu, due to TraumaInducedAmnesia, at first doesn't remember he's a Parahuman. He remembers it just fine when [[spoiler:an E88 goon shoots Haruka in the heart]].
* PerceptionFilter: Majima's power revolves around the concept of how he is perceived by everyone around him, and he can manipulate the level of attention other people pay on him.
* PragmaticVillainy: When Kiryu and Daigo discuss territory, Kiryu says that they should just ask the local businesses if they want the Clan's protection or not. As he points out to Daigo, forcing protection on areas that don't want it will only spread them thin and make an enemy out of the populace.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Several people believe that Kiryu is a Parahuman because he's strong enough to lift motorcycles. He ''is'' a Parahuman, but he was this absurdly strong long before his Trigger event.
* ScewedPriorities: Kiryu's Trigger event had him trapped in a flaming building... And when he gets home he's just glad he left the groceries out of said building. Haruka just sighs.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Wei Han Lee doesn't die from the car bomb, but he does get amnesia.

* TraumaInducedAmnesia:
** Oni Lee suffers from amnesia caused by the car bomb planted by Sagawa to kill him, Makoto, and Majima.
** Kiryu doesn't remember his original trigger event or the first time he used his powers afterwards due to his memories being fragmented. The first time he barely survived being trapped in a flaming building, and the second was during the Leviathan's attack. As a result, he spends a few years not knowing he's a Parahuman.
