History Anime / Revenger

* TheArcher: Murakami uses a large bow and his immense strength to treat it like a long-range rifle.

* BeardOfSorrow: Raizou during episode 2 has grown one, still mourning the death of his fianceé and his father-in-law, though it looks more like five o'clock shadow. He shaves it off after Usui convinces him to use his skills to do some good to the world by joining the Revengers.

* {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler:Shishido. According to Usui, he feels no anger or indignation, exemplified by him being unable to crave his teeth in gold; instead, all he feels is pleasure at the pain of others.]]

* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Revenger" (pronouned in Japanese as "ribenjya") refers to a person that enacts a revenge in English. In Japanese, however it is almost homophonous with "Revenge Shop" (ribenji-ya), referring to the business the main characters run.
* DrugsAreBad: The series's main antagonists are involved in drug trafficking and opium. Episode 7, for example, portrays a group of nuns that turn men into prostitutes by getting them addicted to opium, even their own customers.

* ScreamingWarrior: Raizou has a tendency to scream before delivering his final blow. TruthInTelevision, as being a Samurai from Satsuma, he most likely studies [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigen-ry%C5%AB Jigen-Ryu,]] which is known for it's distinctive Kiai when delivering a lethal strike.

** Nio's petite frame means that they can't directly confront anybody in a fight, and often use their child-like appearance to get them to lower their guard instead before luring them into a trap, or preparing beforehand for the target to get entangled in their RazorFloss kite strings. When Liu gets the drop on them, Nio can only try to run away and is swiftly knocked out once he verbs them, and likewise, when one of [[spoiler:Sada's revengers]] surprises ''them'' instead, Nio's only option was to swing at them with some kite string to create enough distance to flee.

** Though he's killed in the first episode and is little more than a StarterVillain to facilitate Raizou joining the Revengers, Raizou's master, Matsumine Jonoshin, continues to have an overall influence throughout the story through his Opium dealing. The extremely large cargo he was selling becomes a {{Macguffin}} that motivates several groups to antagonist Raizou and the Revengers under the belief that he knows its location within the providence and betrayed his master to gain sole control over it. Raizou's GuiltComplex over blindly following his orders to kill Hirata and the fallout from that resulting in his fiancée Yui committing suicide forms his CharacterArc as he strives to find a way of life outwith that of a mindless killer. [[spoiler:The assassination he ordered also causes interpersonal issues for the Revengers as well, as Yui jumped to the wrong conclusion upon hearing that Raizou killed her father and bit gold against him, leaving them with the SadisticChoice afterwards of [[ToBeLawfulOrGood upholding their beliefs of settling every grudge and killing Raizou]], or ignoring Yui's DyingDeclaratonOfHate due to their own [[HitmanWithAHeart morality]]]].

* ImprobableWeaponUser: A trait amongst the Revengers; Usui uses gold sheets to suffocate his targets, Nio uses kite string that is coated with glass shards, and Souji throws extra sharp cards that can cut into anyone. It's rather telling that the only "normal" weapon belonging to those in the group prior to [[MasterSwordsman Kuruma]] joining was Murakami's mechanically enhanced bow that he uses to fires ''whaling spears''.

** Nio's petite frame means that they can't directly confront anybody in a fight, and often use their child-like appearance to get them to lower their guard instead before luring them into a trap, or preparing beforehand for the target to get entangled in their RazorFloss kite strings. When one of [[spoiler:Sada's revengers]] surprises ''them'' instead, Nio's only option was to swing at them with some kite string to create enough distance to flee.

** Usui uses golden sheets plastered over his target's faces to suffocate them until the gold hardenens once all the oxygen is sucked out of it by their frantic gasping, but this means he has practically no close-range fighting abilities, and always either ambushes his targets when they're off-guard or unprepared for him using stealth and his swit speed to lay the sheet on their face before they can react. Furthermore, though the target is usually too panicked to do so, sufficient force will shatter the hardening sheet before they fully suffocate, enabling them to survive. Usui and Soji both spare two of Liu's men by breaking the sheet with a finger-flick when they're almost unconscious as a means of subduing them non-lethally in episode 6.

** Murakami uses a ''massive'' compound bow to launch whaling spears like the equivalent of a human batiste, but its repeatedly emphasised that he needs to be ''[[MusculesAreMeaningful absolutely ripped]]'' to be able to draw the bow that far, and even then it's an exhaustive effort, and he's never shown rapid-firing, meaning he cannot use the bow for long periods.
