* [[Badass Decay]]: Poor Raizo went through this starting in ''the very first game of the series''. You'd think a guy who looks like [http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np2/char1/raizo-big.jpg this] and is portrayed as the mastermind of the kidnappings would be the [[Big Bad]], right? Nope, it's his nephew [[Magnificent Bastard|Hyo]] who's pulling the strings of the plot. Then in ''Project Justice'', he takes a beating from new [[Big Bad]] Kurow [[The Worf Effect|to show how badass the new guy is]] and [[Demoted to Extra|doesn't even get to be a playable character in that game]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Compared to the other main characters (Batsu and Hinata), Kyosuke's popularity is still rather large - so much so that he got into ''[[Capcom vs. SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium|Capcom vs. SNK 2]]'' over them. Being a [[Bishounen]] helps. The fact that Batsu and Hinata are basically Shotoclones for a game that's already full of them (Ryu, Ken, Dan, Sakura, Akuma, Sagat, Morrigan, Iori, Terry, Ryo, Yuri and Athena) doesn't hurt either...
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] Hideo's {{spoiler|marriage proposal to Kyoko}} in his ''United By Fate'' ending. {{spoiler|Made even more adorable when she accepts. This is continued in the sequel, in which he's hospitalized (but okay) and she takes care of him, reminding him of their upcoming wedding.}}
** Akira is definite female example in the series. Her popularity relative to her role in ''United Byby Fate'' is rather large. Seijyun seems to be created just to give her her own story separate from the Gedo guys' adventures.

* [[Game Breaker]]: In both games, Roberto.
** In ''United Byby Fate'', Hyo and Sakura were also considered top tier characters. Gan also had an infinite combo.
** In ''Project Justice'', Roy, Hideo and Momo all were considered top tier.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Hyo Imawano orchestrated the Justice High incident in ''United by Fate'' as a smokescreen, so everyone would be busy investigating the attacks. Thereby, diverting attention away from himself, while he was carefully selecting which students to kidnap and enslave to become his private army, by which he intended to rule Japan.
* [[Needs More Love]]: The series hasn't seen a new installment since ''Project Justice'' thanks to its poor sales. The real kicker is that PJ left the series story on a cliffhanger {{spoiler|(Kyosuke has gone missing and Kurow has escaped)}}, so unless the series finally gets a concluding installment, the fans may never know what happened.
** {{spoiler|Kyosuke is [[Capcom vs. SNK Millennium Fight 2000|helping the Street Fighters and Dark Stalkers kick SNK butt]], that's where HE is!}}!
** And Batsu is {{spoiler|[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom|waging war against Yami in a space between dimensions]] for his part}}.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Momo. [[The Cutie|Obnoxious]] [[Kawaiiko|design]] even for the series, [[Cute but Cacophonic|shrill voice]] and [[Tier-Induced Scrappy|ridiculous in-game prowess]] [[Game Breaker|compared to her size]] makes her not well-liked among fandom.
