* Played for laughs with Akari, who was [[{{Transgender}} designated male at birth]] and is in love with Kyo. Her gender is accepted enough to be another woman even in Kyo's eyes; he has actually promised to ''marry her'' if she ever lands a hit on his face. This doesn't stop some of the more clueless characters from flipping out regarding the contents of her undergarments.

* Hishigi once tells Kyo that he has beautiful eyes, while touching his face. Of course, it's entirely possible and pretty heavily implied that Hishigi [[BadassGay actually is gay]], and just about everyone flirts with Kyo at some point.

** When Hishigi is on the verge of DrivenToSuicide after implanting the Devil Eyes, Fubuki refuses to kill him and then hauls him to his feet by the front of his shirt, saying that Hishigi is not allowed to die until Fubuki says he can.

** Just before stabbing himself in the heart in order to activate the secret technique of the Taishiro, Fubuki tells Hishigi, "You have my thanks for standing by me all these years. I wish you to live until the end."
** Hishigi's death scene. He has taken several of Kyo's most powerful attacks in attempts to shield Fubuki. The Devil Eyes have been destroyed, leaving him extremely weak and dying. But when Akari mentions Fubuki, he manages to get to his feet and attempt to [[TakingYouWithMe take Kyo with him]] in a massive explosion fueled by the last of his energy. When that doesn't work and his body starts dissolving, he staggers to Fubuki and ''rips out his own heart'', implanting it in Fubuki so that he can continue living after destroying his own. In the original, he says that he will live on with Fubuki. The following is the English translation of his FinalSpeech, given just moments before he [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dies in Fubuki's arms]]:
