!!''Dem Bones Dem, Dry Bones'' contains examples of:

* AmbiguousInnocence: Before Kimimaro reveal that he has past-life knowledge, everyone thinks he's just a traumatized-into-maturity child.
* AscendedExtra: Given how quickly canon-Kimimaro was killed off and now is the main character, this definitely applies.
* BrokenAce: Kimimaro. On the outside, he's cheerful, lively and generous. On the inside, he's struggling with recovering from Gaslighting, PTSD flashbacks and the knowledge that he only has friends because he's manipulating them. He's been getting better in later chapters though and the segments are short.
