History Manga / GreenBlood

%% * TeenyWeenie: Kip. Call it "cute" at your own peril.

* CompensatingForSomething: The gang war arc is kicked off when Kip mutilates, then hurls a prostitute out a window after she commented his size was "cute."
%% * CooldownHug: Brad gives one to Jenny [[spoiler: after her mother's murder.]]

%% * DeathByOriginStory: Brad and Luke's mom was murdered [[spoiler:by their father]].

* DirtyCoward: Gene [=McDowell=] constantly berates Edward King for having fled NY "the tail between the legs".

%% * DeathBySex: [[spoiler:JJ. A very RareMaleExample]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: After all the pain and bloodshed, the brothers succeed in their quest together and are able to embrace a future in which they're happy. Brad passes away peacefully decades later after returning to New York-and probably Emma, while Luke as an old man has children and grand children, who resemble [[BelligerentSexualTension Jenny Macy.]]]]

* FacialMarkings: Edward King has three adjacent moles under his left eye, a sign of being BornLucky according to superstition in both the East and West. Astute readers may recognize the pattern as the same one [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure DIO has]].

* GatlingGood: Nono, [[DeconStruction Gatling VERY BAD!]] The series effectively shows why these things became so feared (even remarking on the [[MadScientist enthusiasm of it's creator]]) and along with the invention of dynamite, why gatling guns singlehandedly ended "old-school" warfare. Edward King sells one to Kip when he comes back to New York, which Kip uses to gun dozens of gangsters in the span of a minute, with the Crimson Gang apparently making a living renting gatling guns looted from the Civil War out to clients (before proceeding to rob said clients blind before killing them).

* TheRedBaron: Brad is known as "The Grim Reaper", but Edward is known as the ''"The Villain of The Century"''.

* {{BFG}}: Edward King is notably so huge that he can [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower travel around with a packed-up gatling gun over his shoulder like it was a log]], and uses a revolver that looks huge even in ''[[TheGiant his]]'' hands that punches holes in people with an incredibly loud and iconic BANG!. And he's still a notably QuickDraw even with such a huge gun.

* PsychoForHire: The whole Crimson Gang, but "Fast-Draw" Hawk earns a special mention for blowing a man's head off with his revolver just to prove his skills were the real deal to a potential client.

%% * TheAlcoholic: Brad is implied to be one.

* GatlingGood: Nono, [[DeconStruction Gatling VERY BAD!]] The series effectively shows why these things became so feared (even remarking on the [[MadScientist enthusiasm of it's cretor]]) and along with the advent of dynamite, why gatling guns singlehandedly ended "old-school" warfare. Edward King sells one to Kip when he comes back to New York, which Kip uses to gun dozen dozen of gangsters in the span of a minute, and apparently makes a living renting gatling guns looted from the Civil War out to clients (before proceeding to rob said clients blind before killing them).

* GatlingGood: Ed King sells one to [[spoiler:Kip]] when he comes back to New York. Subverted, though: it is ultimately of no use against [[spoiler:Brad]].
%% ** Used again by Edward King's man Parrot against Native Americans.

** Edward King walking up to a sheriff and his deputies with his hands up, before pointing a finger gun at one of the deputies. Eagle kills the deputy when King goes on to say "Bang!"

* BadassBoast: ''Many'', this is the age of Tall Tales after all. "I am Black Horse. I strike fear into the hearts of all white men!"

* FightingIrish: Most of the main characters are this, but Edward King exemplifies it, being an over two meters {{Hunk}} big enough to kill a man with his bare hands who co-founded and runs a series of increasingly violent "gangs", even when a more proper would for them would be [[RefugeInAudacity warband]].

* CigarChompers: Several characters partake in cigars, but it is exemplified by Edward King who smokes them like a chimney as a display of his outrageous wealth.

* LightningBruiser: Edward is a colossal man strong to kill a man with one punch, but is still stupendously fast on the draw and tough as nails. [[spoiler: Getting shot in the eye barely slowed even slowed him down.]]

* HairTriggerTemper: Kip, very much so. His idiotic hotheadedness starts a freaking gang war shortly after a prostitute [[InnocentInsensitive said his size was "cute"]] and needing a scapegoat for mutilating her.

%% * BloodKnight: Special nod to Dodo of the Crimson Gang who is as battle hungry as Edward.

%% * HairTriggerTemper: Kip, very much so. His idiotic hotheadedness starts a freaking gang war.

%% * PsychoForHire: The whole Crimson Gang, but "Fast-Draw" Hawk earns a special notice.

* RoaringRampageOfRescue: There's nothing subtle about the way Brad rescues Luke from the Iron Butterflies and then proceeds to massacre both gangs; he singlehandedly turns the entirety of.

* CompensatingForSomething: The gang war arc is kicked off when Kip hurls a prostitute out a window after she commented his size was "cute."

%% * ColdSniper: Eagle, the Sniper of the Crimson Gang is this in spades. Bonus points in that he never speaks a single word.

* InSeriesNickname: Brad is called "The Grim Reaper"

%% * MixAndMatchWeapon: Brad's pistol revolver.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Edward King has very little use for women. While he himself never demonstrates much racism, his gang are vehemently racist against blacks and Native Americans as well, especially Swallow the Lariat.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Really, for a brutal gangster, Gene isn't that bad a guy. he's protective over the prostitutes who work for him, and his gang as well and the ''only'' reason Kip survived after the shit he pulled was Gene loving him as his son even as much as he thought Kip was a loathsome little beast.
* TheRedBaron: Brad is known as "The Grim Reaper".

%% * RoaringRampageOfRescue: There's nothing subtle about the way Brad [[spoiler: rescues Luke from the Iron Butterflies]].

* BadassBoast: "I am Black Horse. I strike fear into the hearts of all white men!"

%% * KnifeNut: Raymond is fine using pistols, but his weapons of choice are knives.

%% * InfantImmortality: [[AvertedTrope Nope.]] [[spoiler:Poor JJ.]]

* CallingTheOldManOut: Edward gets called out by his children whenever they confront each other throughout the story. It's completely justified given their grievances are with how much of a sadistic monster he is. Not that Edward particularly cares what his children think about his children think of him.
