Line 13:
* [[Blatant Lies]] - "[Itsuki's] nothing to me... [[Unstoppable Rage|so get your filthy hands off of her YOU PIECE OF CRAP!]]" Notable because it seems he really does believe that Itsuki means nothing to him, even he flies into a murderous rage towards her kidnapper.
* [[Catapult Nightmare]] - Tobei has a nightmare in which {{spoiler|he sees Itsuki at the mercy of a vicious stranger with a knife to her throat. Tobei runs to save her, but is held back by his many victims. The stranger begins to slit Itsuki's throat, taunting Tobei with his own opinion that the weak deserve to die. It's then revealed that the stranger ''is'' Tobei. Suddenly Tobei finds himself crouched on the ground, a bloodied knife in his hand, and a dead Itsuki leaning on him}}. He wakes up screaming in horror.
* [[Continuity Nod]] - Itsuki, angry at Tobei's disregard for human life, punches him in the face. She later apologizes, saying she just meant to slap him.<ref>
* [[Cool Old Guy]] - The homeless old man who helps Tobei out and gives him some life-changing advice. His [[Eyes Always Shut|eyes are nearly always shut]] and he has a semi-permanent [[Cat Smile]].
* [[Darkskinned Blonde]] - One of Itsuki's unnamed school friends seems to be a follower of the ganguro fashion subculture.
Line 34:
* [[Posthumous Character]] - Itsuki's father was murdered ten years before the series takes place.
* [[The Power of Hate]] - The Toga feed on the hate and malice of their human hosts. Togari itself turns the inner darkness of its wielder to become stronger.
* [[Redemption Demotion]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in an interesting way.Tobei's weapon, Togari, gains strength from the inner darkness of its wielder. If Tobei protects an innocent or otherwise acts virtuously, Togari weakens as Tobei's inner darkness
* [[Redemption Equals Death]] - An interesting variant: {{spoiler|If Tobei succeeds, he will not continue living with Itsuki. Instead, he will be reincarnated and live a new life that way.}}
* [[Redemption Quest]] - The reason Tobei is trying to collect the Toga is so he can be redeemed and completely released from Hell.
Line 43:
* [[Will They or Won't They?]] - It's hard to tell if Tobei and Itsuki's feelings for each other are [[Platonic Life Partners|platonic]], [[Like Brother and Sister|familial]], or [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|romantic]]. Equally hard to tell if it's a [[Relationship Writing Fumble]] or a [[Fridge Brilliance|direct result of Tobei's unfamiliarity with caring about others and with being cared about]].
== ''Togari Shiro'' provides examples of
* [[Crucified Hero Shot]]
* [[Infant Immortality]]: By now Tobei's practically rescuing babies by ''accident.''
