Line 48:
* [[Teen Genius]]: Of course.
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Sakuno and Tomoka are crazy for him despite his antisocial tendencies.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Some of his actions leave you ''and'' his friends all "...[[Flat What|wut?!]]". A huge example comes from the anime, in which {{spoiler|he first acts apathetic about Senbatsu and then ''demands'' to play against Kevin Smith}}, which upsets Tezuka to the point of actually ''slapping him in public''. Ryoma [[Pride Before a Fall|doesn't earn his forgiveness]] until he goes into [[Pose of Supplication]].

To be fair, if by that point he's fond of the Umibe girl Ayaka, [[Character Development|he *does* show a kinder side]] (like apologizing to Ayaka openly if she gets caught in the fights [[Pet the Dog|and meaning it]].)
