Basic Trope: A martial arts character who makes high-pitched battle cries.
- Straight: Kuro, a kung-fu user, screams falsetto Kiai cries in battle.
- Exaggerated: Kuro screams so loud and high, it can be heard for miles and can decimate eardrums.
- Downplayed: Kuro's battle cries are pretty loud, but not particularly high-pitched.
- Justified: Kuro makes these noises to throw off the guard of his opponents.
- Inverted: Kuro has a deep-voiced Battle Cry.
- Subverted: Despite screaming in his first match pictured onscreen, Kuro states that it was just a one-time thing and that he never uses it in any actual fights.
- Double Subverted: In the final battle against the Big Bad, Kuro makes these noises constantly as he unleashes his true power.
- Parodied:
- Kuro's opponent stops in the middle of a fight to tell him to quiet down.
- Kuro eventually hurts his throat by screaming.
- Zig Zagged: Kuro only sometimes screams in a fight, but in several matches he's completely silent.
- Averted: ???
- Enforced: "We all know how famous Bruce Lee was, so if we recycled some elements of his image in Kuro it'd help make him more recognizable to the audience."
- Lampshaded: "Do you think those noises Kuro makes really help him put more force in his blows?"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Kuro's rival dodges all of his attacks easier because he can read them coming when Kuro starts yelling.
- Defied: "What, did you really think I'd scream like that in an actual fight? That was all just for show."
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: Kuro's screaming disqualifies him from all martial arts tournaments, being viewed as an unsportsmanlike way to throw off an opponent.
- Reconstructed: Kuro becomes a crime-fighting vigilante instead, and uses his battle cries to strike fear in the hearts of evildoers.
