Line 19:
* [[Neighborhood Friendly Gangsters]]
* [[Nice Guy]]: Kazuma missed his calling in life as the Patron Saint of Niceness. He helps any innocent bystander no matter how big or small the problem, rescues young girls, pets, old women crossing the street, and forgives men who try to kill him on several occasions at the slightest hint of their redemption. This makes his status as the entire underworld's Butt Monkey so far as picking fights go all the more hilarious.
* [[One
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Mess with his kids and you die, especially his adopted daughter Haruka.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Kazuma is pretty much made of this trope. If you don't know who he is, you'd swear he's the nicest guy around. If you DO know him, he's still the nicest guy around, but you know what to do for him to STAY that way.
Line 49:
* [[First Girl Wins]]: {{spoiler|She would have if she'd survived the first game.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father|Haruka I Am Your Mother]]}}
== The Tojo Clan ==
Line 58:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|Screw the Money, I Have Rules!]] - {{spoiler|Literally. Realizing just how much Jingu went off the [[Moral Event Horizon|deep end]] is what drove Sera to conspire with Kazama/Fuma to engineer the theft of the 10 million yen that the Tojo Clan was laundering for Jingu to try and bring him down.}}
=== Yukio Terada ===
Line 95:
* [[Kick the Son of A Bitch]]: {{spoiler|While emptying a pistol into and killing Koji Shindo was very shocking (especially when Kazuma actually spares the latter after a usual beat down), the fact that Koji betrayed the Tojo Clan and caused the deaths of Tojo Clan Officers is simply just too much to let him get off that easy}}
* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]: In the fourth game.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Well
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: He wants to do what's best for the Clan, but won't betray his friends to do so. {{spoiler|Until the fourth game, that is...}}
* [[The Lancer]]: In the second game.
Line 123:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: In the first game he was Nishiki's lieutenant, in fact the one who lead the ambush against Kazuma in Serena's back alley.
* Jerkass
* {{spoiler|[[Laser
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]
* {{spoiler|[[Moral Event Horizon]]: While already shown to be a jerk for not supporting Kazuma and the Tojo's efforts against the Omi Alliance, Koji fully cemented into the point of no return by selling out the Tojo and causing the deaths of several officers and gleefully having no regrets in his actions.}}
Line 145:
* [[The Atoner]] - {{spoiler|He killed Kazuma's biological parents in a hit. Given that he places all the children of his targets in Sunshine Orphanage, it can be reasoned he killed Nishiki's and Yumi's parents as well. Kazuma forgives him as he always considered Fuma to be his real father.}}
* [[The Obi
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}
* [[Hitman With a Heart]]
Line 157:
* [[The Captain]]
* [[Flat Character]]: Which can be lampshaded in the third game.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: His face is very scarred.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: His hair is tinted green for some odd reason. Strange, since this is a realistic game series.
Line 222:
* [[Bonus Boss]]: He can be fought in the arena after the main game.
* [[The Unfought]]: Though he's a major bad guy in the third game, you never actually fight him. It's even more odd since - as stated above - he is a non-canon bonus fight in the arena, which shows that he's certainly got the skills.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: He vanishes off screen once his plans have been screwed up and his family destroyed. {{spoiler|He comes back right at the end, accuses Kazuma of ruining his life and (near fatally) stabs him in the gut.}}
* [[Fighting for Survival]]: His jailbreak with Saejima in the forth game actually has him act admirably, despite still being an asshole. {{spoiler|Unfortunately for him, [[Redemption Equals Death]].}}
Line 280:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: While his relationship with his daughter, Saya, is not exactly stellar, he will kick the ass of anyone who harasses her.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: He was originally a detective in the Homicide division who interrogated Kazuma following his arrest in the Dojima shooting, and came to suspect that Kazuma was taking the fall for someone else. Despite it being deemed an open-and-shut case, his persistence in investigating the matter didn't sit well with his superiors and they transferred him to the Organized Crime unit as punishment.
* [[The Lancer]]: One of the most frequent and obvious.
Line 287:
A police detective, Sudo is very cool and collected and very much the professional. His sense of justice is shown however when he defies his bosses at the end of the first game, and since then has becoming a staunch ally of Kazuma.
* [[By
=== Jiro Kawara ===
Line 429:
A veteran detective, and something like a (very harsh) father figure to Tanimura. {{spoiler|Turns out he's been a yakuza spy on the force for his entire 30-year tenure.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Alas, Poor Villain]]}}
* [[Da Chief]]: Not the actual chief, but he fulfills this role for Tanimura.
* [[Dead Partner]]: For him, it was Tanimura's dad, which explains why Sugiuchi looks out for him.
