* [[The Cynic]]: What he has irrefutably become by the recent chapters. Whereas the old Rock would have been moved by Fabiola's lingering idealism towards a morally-gray-world where justice and decency ''can'' exist if you want it to, the double-whammy of failing to save Hansel/Gretel AND Yukio from Balalaika's clutches has knocked that hope ''clean'' out of him. The only response he had instead is now a cold, apathetic, Revy-like snarl.

* [[The Dulcinea Effect]]: Puts his ass on the line for Yukio, a girl he has only just met, and who {{spoiler|proceeds to try and kill him}}. He probably did it because she reminded him of himself, though.

** Particularly, the [http://www.absoluteanime.com/black_lagoon/balalaika%5B2%5D.jpg smile] she gives to Rock at the end of the Yakuza arc, which is one of the few times she gives an actual, honest smile instead of [[Technically a Smile]].

** The revelation of why she was discharged, {{spoiler|mainly, due to an international incident when she was photographed by media somewhere her unit shouldn't have officially been}}, is a pet the dog moment for her since the reason she got photographed was because {{spoiler|she went out of her way to save a child}}.
