* AdaptationalBadass: The many vanilla Normal Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh can become this when summoned outside of a duel or Shadow Game, where they're not restricted by game rules, and that's not counting how they can evolve into new card incarnations, like Dark Witch becoming Valkyrie Sanngriðr. As one of Roger's monsters puts it:
--> "In a card game, normal monsters with no effects and little stars are amusing and perhaps a joke. In your game? That's not the case."

* AwesomeButImpractical: Roger outright says that one major limitation to his power is reliability. He may be able to summon dragons, zombies, angels and military cars, but there is no guarantee that he'll get something useful to summon, and some summoned monsters may require a price to use their powers or even turn on him if they're willful enough.

* TheCameo: A few times when Aster uses some cards linked to death like Grave Lure and Mammoth Graveyard, he sees a PerkyGoth passerby that takes some interest. This is, of course, Death of the Endless.

* GreenEyedMonster: Roger/Aster gets this from two sources. One reason that Kid Flash doesn't like Aster is he sees the summoner as a replacement for his friend Speedy on the Team, especially as he becomes good friends with Robin, and Zatanna doesn't like the fact that her father is taking Roger on as a magical apprentice instead of her.
* HeadbuttingHeroes: Aster and Kid Flash do not get along with each other. Kid Flash is a skeptic for all things magical, is disdainful of Aster as a NaiveNewcomer, and [[GreenEyedMonster is slightly envious that Robin is spending more time with him when they could be working to get Speedy on the Team]], and as a result of his arrogant, disdainful first impression, Aster resents Kid Flash making fun of the power he used to save his mom's life (not to mention how he'd discard his magic skepticism just for a pretty girl).
