* {{Band Of Brothers}}
* {{Blue And Orange Morality}} This is turned up to 11 or so with some characters.
* {{Body Guard Crush}} This is apparent in many of the relationships among the hijir. The pair spend an extensive amount of time together and thus bonds deepen and an attraction remains [[AllLoveIsUnrequited on at least one side]].
* {{Body Horror}} As part of their rituals when a child is born, hijir children's backs are sliced open and gemstones are implanted there. This is to influence the child's personality and life path. It is a religious ceremony and rite that the hijir have used for generations.

The sama think of themselves as superior, refined and more attractive than the other races and they prefer seeing [[LikeGoesWithLike sama marry other sama]]. They believe other races to need refinement to appreciate the gods and to worship the gods as they do. The hijir think the sama are horrific, warmongering monsters with no empathy for others. And many want their traditions and birthrights back without the interference of a foreign government.
* {{Functional Magic}} The gemstones and ores implanted in the backs of the hijir children upon their birth. They are believed to influence personality and the abilities the child will develop throughout their lives.

* {{Starts Stealthily Ends Loudly}} The first combat scene.

* {{Double Consciousness}} Because of who he is as a rebel fighting a guerrilla war and who he is in his day to day life, he has two separate identities. His is more pronounced than everybody else who simply compartmentalize the two lives they live.

* {{Playing With Fire}}
* {{Scarf of Asskicking}} He wears one and he wears it to cover his face.
