* AwesomeButImpractical: Fitting with the [[ImprobableWeaponUser improbability of their particular weapons]], each of the Revenger's fighting styles have drawbacks that can make them difficult to pull off, especially against skilled or prepared opponents.
** Raizou's Jigen-Ryu fighting style is powerful enough to let him slice a man in two with a single blow, but it has a lot of obvious wind-up to get him in the proper mentality to unleash that strike, and he always attacks in a straight line from a middle distance, making it easy to predict. Furthermore, the style draws a lot of power from proper footing, enabling Raizou to unleash even greater strikes once he starts using a pair of boots with retractible spikes for extra traction, but it also means his sword blows lose a lot of power if his footing is disrupted. His fight against Liu in episode 7 emphasises this, as Liu blunts the effectiveness of his charge by rushing into him before he can fully unleash it, and entangles his legs to prevent him being able to swing properly, even able to pull off a BarehandedBladeBlock when he knocks Raizou off the ground and he can't swing at him with full strength from mid-air.
** 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.

Any individual who bites down on a gold ''Koban'' coin hard enough to mark it with their teeth can request an assassination against those who have wronged them, which will be carried out regardless of the time or effort spared.
