* FirstNameBasis: Unlike the [[Manga/FushigiYuugi Suzaku and Seiryuu warriors in the future,]] all Genbu warriors preferred ''[[RefusalOfTheCall not]]'' to be called by their Celestial names; it was proved especially clear with Tomite and Uruki, the first 2 warriors Takiko encountered. That's why Takiko referred them by their birth names for a good length amount of time until they slowly accept their Celestial names. Once these two got used to their Celestial names, they were shown to be more comfortable in persuading the later recruited members to use their Celestial names.

The ending chapter was published in Flower Magazine's Spring Issue in February 14th, 2013, and the final volume in May 17th, 2013. This marked the end of the story spanning 10 years of publishing.

* BettyAndVeronica: [[PrecociousCrush Mr. Ohsugi]], Takiko's first love (Betty) and [[TroubledButCute Uruki]] (Veronica).

* BadassCrew / TrueCompanions: The Genbu Celestial Warriors along with their miko, being the first miko out of all four, and team of all 28 seishis of the world to appear. Compared to the future Suzaku and Seiryuu Teams, they are on average, dangerously powerful and [[BadAss badass]] to the near extreme. Their miko can wield a weapon, the majority of the warriors work very close together as a group, and their relationship is more like a [[SuperFamilyTeam family unit]]. Literally all bare ElementalPowers, and whom all has to pave way through the hells of prejudice, suppression, and [[FantasticRacism racism]] to make a better status for the future seishis to come. [[spoiler: And this trope pretty much sums up the whole story...]]

* PersonalityBloodTypes / WesternZodiac: Watase [[ShownTheirWork took a lot of care]] in aligning the Celestial Warrior's assigned Chinese constellations to their western constellations, also assigning blood types to further enhance their personalities.
** Hikitsu: The first aligned Chinese constellation of Genbu, and is a Blood Type-A Sagittarius; which explains his SugarAndIcePersonality as being responsible, collected, patient, and cautious, yet is willing to take risks and fearless actions once he makes a decision upon evaluation, and has areas in expertise that he's [[{{Hotblooded}} passionate]] about.
** Inami: Second aligned Chinese constellation of Genbu, a Blood Type-O Capricorn; gives her a well-rounded character who is sociable and reliable.
** Uruki: Third aligned Chinese constellation of Genbu, a Blood Type-O Aquarius; he has his own ideals and prone to [[HairTriggerTemper bad temper]], so his teammates has to put in lots of effort to make him adapt into the group, but once adapted he becomes well-rounded and cooperative.
** Tomite: Fourth aligned Chinese constellation of Genbu, and a Blood Type-B Aquarius. He's highly sociable, and is the [[PluckyComicRelief mood maker]] of the team, but like Uruki, he's also [[HairTriggerTemper short tempered]], impatient, and brash; add to being born less than two weeks apart from Uruki, they end up [[SiblingRivalry budding their heads with each other the most]].
** Urumiya: Fifth aligned Chinese constellation of Genbu, Blood Type-AB Aquarius. Their character sheet should be enough to tell their complex personalities.
** Hatsui: Sixth aligned Chinese constellation of Genbu, and a Blood Type-A Pisces. He's highly cooperative, yet is very [[ShrinkingViolet shy]], indecisive, [[LovableCoward stutters a lot, and always opted to hide in his basket in times of distress]].
** Namame: The last Chinese constellation of Genbu, even though Watase never gave it a birthday, it's estimated western zodiac should align it to Pisces; giving it it's creative, witty, gentle nature with the love of participation.
** For extra information, Takiko is a Type-O Virgo. As the Priestess of Genbu and fellow teammate, she [[{{Determinator}} works very hard in solving problems for Hokkan one step at a time, and gives it her all]] to make her warriors not only feel comfortable in working together, but also be considerate in each of her warriors' personal concerns to give each of them the assurance they need to foresee the future prosperity of their country with their contributions.
