* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]]: The Yamasenken school usually opens with a loud yell of "'''Don't move!'''" It's not the words that freeze the opponent, but the sheer '''VOLUME''' that catches anyone, even rampaging grizzlies, off guard.

* [[Now What]]: He has dedicated his entire life to finding the counterpart school of the Yamasenken in order to rebuild the Kumon Dojo. Not only did he lose the chance, he has to seal away ''his'' school, the school he uses exclusively and likely the only school he ''knows'' by this point. What is he supposed to do now?

* [[Crouching Moron Hidden Badass]]: Sure, they may look silly and bumbling, but they ''are'' Herb's elite personal guards. When they drop the silliness and turn serious, they become freaking ''scary''.

* [[Magic Pants]]: In human form, her vaguely Indian-inspired wardrobe includes transluscent pants under her skirt. Whenever she turns into Asura, the pants mysteriously go away, and they come right back when she reverts. They're the only article of clothing she wears that does this (although her waist-long hair also shortens enough to accommodate the extra three faces, and grows back when normal.)

* [[Misery Poker]]: Oh, woe, she suffers ''so much''. It's all because of that evil, evil man! Won't someone please stand up for her? She seems to genuinely believe it all though, as she is a firm believer in astrology, bad signs, happenstance, and the like. Basically she will help rebuild after wrecking part of the house as Asura, but is apparently completely oblivious to that she caused it in the first place and simply think that it is a sign of bad luck.

* [[Multiple Head Case]]: Well, more like Multiple Face Case -- she has three faces on one head, though each seems to have its own personality and mind, as they can be knocked out seperately.

* [[Physical God]]: The Asura is a semi-divine warrior-demon from Hindu mythology, so Rouge's cursed form is basically the living, flesh-and-blood embodiment of a deity.
