* FallenAngel: Satsuki, one of the God Candidates. Tokiwa, [[spoiler: the leader of the God Buriers]], is one as well.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Tokiwa]] slices off [[spoiler:Kanade]]'s hand to stop [[spoiler:her from firing her gun]]. And the next time [[spoiler:[[NotQuiteDead she appears]], she's still missing that hand]].



* BadassDecay: By the time the third volume comes around, Tsukimiya is regularly geting her ass kicked 100% of the time.



** BrainwashedAndCrazy: Upgrades to this pretty quickly, though. [[spoiler:It also gives her back her ActionGirl status and she starts kicking ass again... until she recovers from the brainwashing]].



* DamselInDistress: Tsukimiya, nearly to OnceAnEpisode levels. Unfortunately, due to BadassDecay, she no longer qualifies for BadassInDistress.



* HalfHumanHybrid: Nao is half human half angel.

to:

** Tsukimiya and Hinata have kissed each other a hell of a lot. They have yet to have a kiss that was mutually agreed upon, unless you count their very first one... wherein Tsukimiya skipped the kiss and promptly bit Hinata to drain his blood. [[spoiler:This may have changed as of Chapter 50, if it was indeed a KissingDiscretionShot]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: It is truly amazing how often the characters go from "full-scale battle to the death" to "hanging out in the same house". They also tend to wander in and out of each other's headquarters every now and again with ease despite having to sneak in on pain of death if found less than, say, ten chapters previous.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Nao is half human half angel.half-human, half-angel.



** [[spoiler:Nao]] jogs through this door as regular exercise.



* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Considering all that was left of him was a charred hand, Nao]] does not appear to be coming back anytime soon.



* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Kanade]].



* RedemptionDemotion: ''Completely'' inverted in a case of Defection Promotion. [[spoiler:Remember Tsukimiya's BadassDecay? Yeah, that vanishes the instant she's [[BrainwashedAndCrazy fighting alongside the bad guys]]]].



* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Nao attempts this with Satsuki. It fails, unfortunately, but Satsuki's eyepatch is burned off -- and it's apparently problematic for him, so perhaps some good will come of Nao's (apparent) death]].

Added DiffLines:

* UndyingLoyalty: For all of Hanamura's snark and occasional abuse, he is absolutely loyal to Tsuzuki and is one of the ''very'' few characters whose allegiance has never wavered. Momose, who is basically his EvilCounterpart, is this to Satsuki.

* NotEnoughToBury: The result of [[spoiler:Nao's TakingYouWithMe gambit]]. He burnt the entire mansion to the ground in an attempt to kill [[spoiler:Satsuki; unfortunately, Satsuki survived]], and all that was left of [[spoiler:Nao]] was the charred remains of a hand that [[spoiler:Satsuki]] absently discards.

* CuteLittleFangs: Tsukimiya's are ''adorable''. Hinata, oddly enough, doesn't appear to have fangs at all.

Added DiffLines:

* InformedAttribute: The manga tells you that Hinata is, like Tsukimiya, half-vampire... but unlike Tsukimiya, he's never seen drinking blood other than when he took Brass' to get rid of the curse, and while every now and again Tsukimiya mentions craving blood, he never has. Even when he drinks Brass' blood, Hinata uses magic to turn it into a ball and ''then'' ingest it rather than use fangs to suck it out as Tsukimiya had planned to do. Hell, Hinata doesn't even appear to ''have'' fangs the way Tsukimiya does.

* DruggedLipstick: A variation where Hinata uses his ''tongue'' to apply a spell that knocks Tsukimiya unconscious. You get no points for guessing [[BuxomIsBetter where]] he was [[LecherousLicking using his tongue]] at the time.
** [[spoiler:Later, Tsukimiya kisses ''him'' while inside the God Buriers' HQ. He collapses almost immediately]].

* BadassBureaucrat: Izumi, the president of Arcana. Regardless of fighting ability (or lack thereof), the man has NervesOfSteel and he will tell you ''exactly'' what he thinks of you regardless of his current situation. [[spoiler:And as it turns out, he's a good shot and he can stop time]].



* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Nao]] all the way, although the 'sheep' is quickly replaced by the 'bitch' once it's revealed that he's the traitor. [[spoiler:His true colours come out the closer he gets to death, and he ''really'' starts losing it]].



* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: In the first volume, Hinata and Tsukimiya are constantly planning to, attempting to, and occasionally actually ''managing'' to screw each other over for personal gain despite the fact that doing so will cost the other person his/her life. And both of them know it. This actually works in their favour eventually; at the climax of the volume, they manage to ''legitimately'' work together to betray Tsuzuki instead of each other (much to his surprise).

** Once Arcana gets involved and the plots starts picking up, the entire manga becomes basically a stab-happy free-for-all between the three -- and then ''four'' -- groups, both between the groups as a whole and between a lot of the members therein: Tsuzuki's, Satsuki's, Arcana, and [[spoiler:the God Buriers]].


Added DiffLines:

* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Izumi is threatened with this. His response is a bored look of such contempt that it's a wonder no one dropped dead on the spot.


Added DiffLines:

* LetsGetDangerous: As has been previously mentioned in the manga, Izumi is not a fighter. So he completely takes Tokiwa by surprise when he puts a bullet through the guy's shoulder and then almost through his face -- he had the barrel less than an inch away before Tokiwa dodged back. [[spoiler:Turns out that while Izumi still doesn't appear to be a formidable hand-to-hand opponent, he does have an ability besides his precognition that is a big help in a fight: he can ''stop time'']].


Added DiffLines:

* NervesOfSteel: Izumi is one of the few characters who has never been shown frightened or stunned. Even when [[spoiler:the God Buriers take over his building and]] hold him hostage, threaten him with [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique torture]], and threaten to [[ForcedToWatch murder his subordinates in front of him]], Izumi just looks contemptuous and slightly bored. And he ''mocks'' them.
-->'''Izumi:''' ''(to his captors)'' You don't call ahead, you walk about in your street shoes, and on top of that... you speak freely about my closely-guarded secrets in the presence of guests. I suspect your upbringing was poor. You have no class.


Added DiffLines:

* PowerDyesYourHair: After using his [[spoiler:time manipulation]] powers, [[spoiler:Izumi]]'s hair goes from black to white. Whether this is a permanent change or not remains to be seen, though it's implied that it isn't; he's unsurprised by the result and mentions that it's because he hasn't used his powers in so long.
* [[{{Seers}} Seer]]: Izumi, the president of Arcana, has the ability to see into the future.


Added DiffLines:

* TimeMaster: [[spoiler:Izumi]] can stop time, although this may be a very limited version of the ability, since if he could hold it for more than a few seconds he presumably would have shot [[spoiler:Tokiwa]] in the head.
