** First from Vince Ingrad, his mentor, when the Steel Reaper is destroyed: Mikuni simply had to cause indiscriminate slaughter in Shinjuku to cause long-lasting fear of warfare and feed his business model, but instead chose to focus on killing Ryo out of purely personal and emotional reasons, ignoring both Vince's advice, and several hints that he was severely UnderestimatingBadassery. Vince lays this out in simple terms: he can not trust any longer a man who fumbles on his emotion at the most critical moment.

* WarForFunAndProfit: Vince Ingrad, Shinji Mikuni and the whole bunch of arms dealers. They are literally drooling at the prospect from Mikuni's thesis: that racial conflict, civil war or territory disputes are not needed to spark conflict and sell arms, you just need to impress strong enough permanent fear in the population, and they will buy weapons in droves to protect themselves. As Vince Ingrad puts it, "This country will now know that safety has a price."

* ShowerOfAwkward: After one hard day of kicking the ass of the men sent after Ai, Ryo wants to take a shower and undresses completely, and he doesn't notice Ai is already in the shower until the last second... Even though this time it's ''absolutely accidental'' coming from [[ChivalrousPervert Ryo]], it ends the [[DropTheHammer same painful way as usual for him, courtesy of a ''furious'' Kaori.

* PsychopaticManchild: Shinji Mikuni has vibes of this. He still has a lot of unresolved issues from childhood, feeding into his hatred of Shinjuku and his desire for power. Even before undergoing MotiveDecay, he still marks his town for destruction for his weapon demonstration and to prove his thesis, but once Laura's partner Ryo comes into play, the mask cracks progressively. Vince ends up nearly calling him the trope before attempting to take over.

* DragonAscendant: Mikuni is an interesting example. He thought he was the BigBad, but when he botches his new weapon demonstration because he focuses more on his emotions than business, his mentor Vince Ingrad establishes himself as the BigBad... All the henchmen obey him, he is about to put a bullet in Kaori's face to sever Mikuni's emotional ties and teach him a lesson, and Mikuni asserts himself as this by killing his mentor.
* FreudianExcuse: Mikuni, a stereotypical straight-A glasses-wearing kid, used to be bullied and was once saved by Kaori, which impressed him deeply. From there, he has no shortage of unresolved resentment towards Shinjuku, and he would grow up to fervently believe in MightMakesRight. This culminates in him getting completely fixated on killing Ryo, both as Kaori's partner and as the protector of Shinjuku, even though he should be thinking of the bigger picture, causing widespread panic through warfare. His mentor actually calls him out on this several times.

* ManVersusMachine: In the climax, there's Ryo vs the flying drones and the Steel Reaper, and Umibozu (and Miki) against the ground drones. The humans win, much to [[BigBad Mikuni]]'s frustration (he had to much faith in the drones), especially Ryo and his unmatched agility, ImprobableAimingSkills and quick thinking.
