The only reason he’s able to (just barely) hold his own against both Codexia and Ichigo during their three-way fight is due to the combination of his sword, Allaminar, his heavily enchanted armor, and his HealingFactor. And even then, he still spends the majority of the fight being manhandled by both of them.

** After Codexia and Mordent are captured, the Night Elf sentinel, Anaesia, claims she plans to torture and interrogate the two of them for information on the Highborne's plans. She's stopped when Ichigo intercedes, correctly pointing out that Codexia and Mordent have already given them all the information they have, and that Anaesia just wants to take out her anger towards the Highborne on the two prisoners.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Abraxus really only serves to be an arc villain within the story, as well as being Ichigo's introduction to the threat of the Burning Legion. However, he is revealed to be responsible for engineering the plague of undeath used by the Scourge. Meaning that he is partially responsible for both the destruction of Lordaeron and Arthas' FaceHeelTurn, among other things. So perhaps his [[SmallNameBigEgo high opinion of himself]] isn't entirely unjustified.

Apparently it got pretty nasty before the Arrancar were able to force the demons back through the portal and close it.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Caldwell]] and the other traitors from Theramore would like you to believe they antagonize the Horde for the good of humanity, but it’s painfully obvious that they’re motivated entirely by their deep grudge against the orcs for the first and second Dark Portal Invasions.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Adelina confirms that she is over 100 years old. Not all that surprising, given that she’s a Night Elf.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Zangetsu is absolutely pissed at Ichigo for allowing despair to flood his inner world after being thrown into the Twisting Nether by Nnoitra, and doesn't hesitate to let him know it.
* OneManArmy: Ichigo fights through entire waves of enemies in just about every large scale battle he takes part in. When he arrives to help the Sentinels fight the allied centaur clans at the Twin Colossi, Shandris remarks that his arrival all but her ensures their victory.
* OnlyFriend: Ichigo to Adelina.
* OutOfFocus: Despite being presented as a main character and a member of Ichigo’s main group of friends on Azeroth, Caren has received very little focus since her introduction, contributing little to the story beyond providing exposition when appropriate.
* OutsideContextProblem: Nobody on Azeroth has any idea what to make of Ichigo when he shows up. For starters, he possesses spiritual power, something no human has been known to have. His level of power is comparable to the Ancient Guardians or the Loa despite being mortal. And to top it all off, his very existence on Azeroth is somehow permanently altering the main timeline, which scares the crap out of the Bronze Dragonflight.
* PaperTiger: The Highborne knight, Sylerian, acts incredibly high and mighty and is initially presented as being an elite warrior… only to be revealed to be a complete and utter novice in combat one chapter after he’s introduced. The only reason he’s able to (just barely) hold his own against either Codexia and Ichigo is due to the combination of his sword, Allaminar, his heavily enchanted armor, and his HealingFactor. And even then, he still spends the majority of the fight being manhandled by both of them.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Ichigo’s Getsuga Tensho causes massive amounts of devastation whenever he uses it. It tends to unnerve most characters who see it for the first time.
* PhysicalGod: As far as most of Azeroth is concerned, Ichigo counts as one. While Ichigo is technically human, his power is compared to minor deities and his status as a Shinigami/Death God raises quite a few eyebrows. [[spoiler: Druantia]] even refers to him as “the young god”.
* PowerNullifier: Codexia reveals that she can do this to anyone attempting to use the power of the Elements by cuting off their connection with the power of [[spoiler: the Spirit of Decay.]]
** The Temporal Lock protecting Abraxus makes him immune to the temporal powers of the Bronze Dragonflight. It’s extremely likely that Ichigo has this as well.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: All of the demons under Abraxus’ command flee after Ichigo kills their master, fully aware that they have no chance against him.
** Marta abandons Codexia after they raise Ethel Rethor, disgusted by the Primalist’s unrepentant manipulation of everyone around her and her complete disregard for the lives of Marta’s fellow mercenaries.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Ichigo to Adelina. As such, she finds herself extremely conflicted with his desire to return home.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are a ton of named characters from World of Warcraft. And that's not even getting into the OCs…
* MagneticHero: Both Jaina and Aegwynn observe that Ichigo is this.
* MakingASplash: Thetis, the Spirit of Water. [[spoiler: She later grants some of this power to Codexia.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Codexia has a moment of this after Marta calls her out for all her horrible actions during her interlude arc.
* NoSell: After [[spoiler: using his Bankai]], Ichigo casually blocks a strike from the enormous void terror, Immol’thar, in a manner reminiscent of his first encounter with Yammy Llargo. He then goes on to casually brush off every single attack that Abraxus throws at him.
* NoodleIncident: We don’t get much detail regarding the event in which Szayelaporro accidently opened a portal to the Twisting Nether, which led to the creation of the special Caja Negación. Apparently it got pretty nasty before the Arrancar were able to force the demons back through the portal and close it.

* AnArmAndALeg: After Ichigo [[spoiler: unleashes his Bankai]], Abraxus attempts to keep him at bay by using Adelina as a hostage. Ichigo severs his arm in response. It happens so fast that Abraxus doesn’t even register it’s happened until he looks at the stump.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Prince Tortheldrin and, later on, the surviving Highborne nobles.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Pained tries to reprimand Ichigo for allowing Caldwell to die instead of allowing him to be executed, Ichigo asks her if they would have actually executed him if he could still give them information on the remaining traitors. Pained is unable to give him an answer.
* AscendedExtra: Quite a few minor characters from World of Warcraft play significant roles in some of the story arcs, such as Shandris Feathermoon and Chromie.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Caldwell gets horrifically eaten by a crocolisk. But given everything he had done, he most certainly deserved it.]]
* BadBoss: Abraxus is an absolute dick to the demons serving under him, regularly engaging in ShootTheMessenger.
