additional note on Naru's gender identity in the english localisation, some corrections to events described, and cultural context of a specific phrase from the drama CD added


* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Sort-of. Arashi wants to be called a big sister and has multiple times, said things like "that's the kind of lady I am" as well as often using female terms/self-honorifics, and has said that gender doesn't matter if you have the heart of a woman in the drama [=CDs=], but she still referred to herself as a female regardless, as evident in the Holiday gacha and official works had listed her gender as female. The "Beasts" event (2018) threw another curveball in the situation, but the games still teeter on that ambiguous line. Izumi seems to imply that Arashi may be non-binary but never explicitly states that she is so.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Sort-of. Sort-of, it depends on the era. Some very early stories treated her more like a camp, feminine boy, but for the majority of the overall plot Arashi has been all-but-stated to be a transgender girl. Arashi wants to be called a big sister and has multiple times, said things like "that's the kind of lady I am" as well as often using female terms/self-honorifics, and has said that gender doesn't matter if you have 'have the heart of a woman woman' in the drama [=CDs=], but she still referred [=CDs=] (a common turn of phrase used by trans women in Japan to explain their gender to those unfamiliar with trans people). She refers to herself as a female regardless, female, as evident in the Holiday gacha and official works had which have listed her gender as female. The "Beasts" event (2018) threw another curveball in the situation, but the games still teeter on that ambiguous line. also involves discussion over her discomfort with being percieved as especially masculine by others. Izumi seems to imply that Arashi may be non-binary but never explicitly states that she is so.so, and she is consistently referred to as a girl in the English localisation. And while she doesn't seem to outright dislike her given name, her closest friends often address her as 'Naru' instead. (A common girls' first name, which can be derived from her surname)

Love You And Everyone is no longer a trope


* AllLovingHero: ''"Thank you, I really like you, I love you!"''. He lampshades this in the event story A Dark Night’s Passing, stating that [[spoiler:he can’t see the villain of the event GFK as a bad person]] because he loves everyone too easily.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Played straight (see HypocriticalHumor) as well as parodied. He usually is the first to object whenever Knights does something "ungentlemanly" or deviates away from their knightly persona. He was also the most upset out of the Knights when he found out [[spoiler: Izumi kidnapped Makoto during the first round of DDD]]. When he becomes the new king, he becomes a lot more bolder and brasher at leading Knights headfirst onto the stage, which Narukami and Ritsu akin him to Leo. When MDM preparations start, [[spoiler: he kidnapped Kohaku in the same way that Izumi had did before, down to trying to trying to personally spoonfeed him]]. Ritsu & Narukami comment how accurately Tsukasa replicated Izumi's behavior (much to his chargin) though Tsukasa claims it was part of his acting practice from the drama roles he was getting lately

* BestFriend: He and Madara consider each other to be "besties" and are shown to be extremely close.



* UndyingLoyalty: To Madara Mikejima. They’re best friends in story and are shown to care about each other a lot. [[spoiler: His loyalty is definitely shown in that despite being aware of all the things Madara has done, he doesn’t see him in a negative light, and is one of the few to not view him as the "dangerous monster" others are said to. Leo calls Madara his "best hero" as he knows fully that all of those things were done for the sake of him, no matter how extreme.]]

* TheStoic: His profile on the game's official Japanese website claims he is that, which on the one hand is true, but...
** NotSoStoic: He expresses his emotions and feelings well when he is with Makoto, he even cried two times.



* UndyingLoyalty : He is very loyal to Leo despite calling him "Stupid King". [[spoiler:In Lionheart, it's explained that Leo's the reason why Izumi still held on to Knights and even became its decoy leader, despite believing that Knights is ruined.]]

* {{Tsundere}}: The Harsh type, of the modern variety. He is very sweet to Makoto (although there are [[{{Yandere} exceptions]]), but harsh to anyone else, especially his friends. It is shown that he does care about them despite his abrasive attitude, and switches between a kinder demeanor and one that seems to expression ToughLove. The Bridal gacha story featuring him and Kaoru is a good example of him being this trope, where he lays down harsh criticism on Kaoru before being more sweet later on in the story.

He also claims to have communicated with and been abducted by aliens. Amusingly, he's not odd enough to be part of the Oddballs. [[spoiler: Izumi says that Leo isn't as weird as he currently is when he first entered Yumenosaki academy during the 2015 judgement event]].
