'''Cho Teko''', a blind Taoist priest. Comes off as a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] by spouting [[Ice Cream Koan|Ice Cream Koans]]. Has a bit of a running gag about misreading the gender of any new character who comes near the team.

* [[Genre Savvy]] - Yori. Right from the outset he seems to instinctively know he's in an [[Affectionate Parody]] of shonen manga, but it's highlighted very much during Ina's planned defense of the strategic choke point, where he demonstrates genuine fear at Ina's ability to destroy an army. By this point, he's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to fear that running in terror like he should will shift her from a [[Tsundere]] to a [[Yandere (disambiguation)]].

* [[Mook Chivalry]] - Played straight and subverted by the Demons of Sorrow. Ryoku attacks first, in a (mostly) fair duel. Then Uso announces that he's going to try next, so you expect another one-on-one. But when they finally confront Yori, all three of them attack at once.

* [[The Worf Barrage]]: Ken's [[BFS|ludicrously big sword]] rarely hits anyone important. Not only that, but the taoist monks and Nataku managed to block it outright. Nataku later ups the ante from that, and just overpowers Ken while clashing with his BFS head-on.
