* [[Badass and Child Duo]]: Though in this case they are related.

* [[Badass Beard]]: Retsudo

* [[Battle Aura]]: Virtually every trained fighter in the manga has this, allowing them to sense hostility (warrior blood lust) in others and respond accordingly.

** Subverted by a group of crippled veteran ninja, sent by Retsudo after Itto. They were experienced enough to mask their auras from Itto and spy on him undetected.

** Averted when Itto takes an assignment to kill a Shinto priest. Although not being a warrior, the priest still has an aura so powerful that no one with ill intent can come close enough to touch him... Not even Itto. Leads to Itto taking a [[Level In Badass]] (if that's even possible) by withdrawing to the mountains to meditate and fast for over a week, while leaving Daigoro alone with food.

He is then able to kill without bloodlust. The priest compliments Itto on his accomplishment right before Itto apologizes and splits him from scalp to sternum.

* [[Big Bad]]: Retsudo

* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]
