* '''Lampshaded''': "Look, I know that it's a stereotype for fellas like me t'be rough and brutish, but... Considerin' this is [[TheBigRottenApple New Fuckin' York]], do ya seriously expect me t'be some happy-go-lucky schmuck!?"

* '''Downplayed''': Flash is only a rough and tumble BoisterousBruiser who isn't the best at fighting, but he often has a cool head on his shoulders, while being from [[NewYorkIsOnlyManhattan Manhattan]].

** New York City in TheSeventies and TheEighties was pretty much [[VideoGame/FinalFight Metro City]] [[UrbanHellscape in real life]]. You had to either learn to fight or develop thick skin, [[HadToBeSharp or preferably both]], if you wanted to keep breathing.

-->'''Flash''': Speak for yerself, fuckstick! [[FultonStreetFolly Fulton Street,]] [[NewYorkIsOnlyManhattan Manhattan]]!? That place ain't shit! It's soft for tourists such as yerself! Yer honestly so fuckin' lucky ya never visited Coney Island, fuckin' softie. An' don't get me fuckin' started on New Fuckin' Jersey, those wannabe tough nuts!

* '''Justified''': When you live in TheBigRottenApple, you tend to [[TookALevelInJerkass adopt the same mentality as the rest of your fellow citizens there]].

* '''Enforced''': The work was originally from Japan, and Flash was originally TheIdiotFromOsaka. The dub director was given two options for the AccentAdaptation: A DeepSouth HalfWittedHillbilly, or this trope. Considering it'd be extra weird if the guy with the [[DelinquentHair obnoxiously huge pompadour]] and clothes that could've easily been stolen from the wardrobe of ''Film/TheWarriors'' speaks with a thick drawl, they opted for this trope instead.

* '''Invoked''': Flash is told that if [[HadToBeSharp he were soft for even a second, he'd get gutted brutally in New York]], which thoroughly convinces him to be a tough guy.

* '''Played for Drama''': Flash is portrayed as an angry, violent thug, but considering [[TheBigRottenApple the setting has characters trying to stab him left, right, and center, could you really blame him]]?

* '''Conversed''': "I get that New York's a [[TheBigRottenApple complete fucking dumpster fire]], but does he seriously have to act like it's the literal bowels of fucking Satan!? Man, these writers should visit other parts of New York instead of focusing on Brooklyn. [[{{HypocriticalHumor Y'know, like]] {{Fulton Street|Folly}}, [[NewYorkIsOnlyManhattan Manhattan]]."

-->'''Bob''': Hey, why are you acting like New York's so bad? I've been to Manhattan before, it's not THAT terrible!\\

* '''Parodied''': New York has an inherent (though non life threatening) disease floating around its airs that turns people into some of the most despicable {{hate sink}}s, [[TheScrappy scrappy jackasses]], {{complete monsters}}, and other wretched characters, with Coney Island in particular being the source with its ludicrously high content of the NY Rage disease.
