** The dream world cast by Enmu sheds some light on Kyoujuro’s past, he has always been diligent and duty bound but he comes from a position where he had to become the sole emotional steadfast figure of his family after his mother died by succumbing to illness, also his father losing himself to alcohol as a result from that and losing faith in his swordsmanship; Kyoujuro had to be strong for his brother who felt useless due not having talent to be a swordsman and having a father who became a wreck that just yelled at his sons, while he himself had no else to rely on. With all that Kyoujuro doesn’t falter, really becoming a man who isn’t held by this family issue, not once blaming his father for anything, even if the visualization of his subconscious core implying that really deep down Kyoujuro had some fragility he had to hide deep within.
** The ever unpleasing jerkass Sanemi reveals in his sparring match with Giyuu, that he actually actually likes Ohagi and especially enjoys Ohagi made from his grandmother. Sanemi may be a jerk most of the time, but he still values his family very much. He also truly loves Genya and just wants him to be free from harm.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' -- Naruto himself, of all people is possibly one of the most tragic versions of this trope in Shonen anime and manga history. At first he seems like the classic Idiot hero who causes nothing but trouble, pranking for the sake of amusement. Even before the reveal that he has a demon of apocalyptic power sealed in him, he says that no one has ever tried talking to him in a friendly manner, with no friends and family to go home to. Turns out he was very verbally abused and treated very coldly by adults and eventually their children simply for existing, do to his having the fox demon sealed within him. During the fight against Gaara, he even thinks of what would happen if Iruka or the 3rd Hokage never cared for him. This speech has often made fanfic writers try to portray a Naruto similar to evil Gaara in this respect. He considers not being able to save Sasuke from TheDarkSide as his MyGreatestFailure moment.

** Kuroyukihime initially comes off as having two different facets- that of a school idol and student council vice president in real life, and that of an incredibly skilled but notorious Burst Linker in the accelerated world, responsible for killing the Red King. The truth about her is quite a bit more complex, as there are times when she comes off as an actual 14-year-old girl, such as slapping Haru and bursting into tears in an argument caused in part by her jumping to conclusions due to romantic jealousy. It also turns out that [[spoiler:she only killed the Red King because her older sister (someone with whom she once had a close enough relationship for her sister to be her Brain Burst "parent") manipulated her into doing so]].
** Taku initially seems like TheAce who, unlike [[ThisLoserIsYou Haru]], has everything- he's an excellent student, a star kendo athlete, popular, in a relationship with his ChildhoodFriend and an up-and-coming Burst Linker. The first arc reveals that he's horribly insecure, with a large part of his success being due to Brain Burst's power, and he secretly loathes Haru for being a "burden" on him and Chiyu. Subsequent arcs reveal that he has much more in common with Haru than most would think- Taku was bullied in the past and is just as capable of self-loathing, but has less internal fortitude than Haru does.
** Ash Roller, the belligerent and cocky FriendlyRival to Haru, sometimes comes off as more intelligent than he lets on, especially when he realizes that Haru's planning on throwing a fight.

* In ''{{Manga/Saki}}'', the eponymous character's older sister, Teru, seems like a textbook AloofBigSister who holds a grudge against Saki over some unknown past event, but over time, more is revealed about her apart from her relationship with Saki and status as the national female high school mahjong champion. Achiga-hen reveals a large disconnect between Teru's public facade and her true self, but also that Teru's inwardly worried about Toki after her collapse and hospitalization. Saki Biyori, while generally comedic, shows that Teru often goes along with her teammates' silly antics and has a large SweetTooth. The main series, however, has the most surprising revelations- [[spoiler:that Teru isn't avoiding Saki because she hates her, but because she can't bring herself to talk to her, and that in the past (and possibly even now), she didn't even like mahjong]].
