!!''Gleipnir'' provides examples of:



* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When dealing with a group of powerful and hostile Collectors [[spoiler: by trying to burn them to death through poisonous flowers]], Shuichi actually openly admits to Claire that he was getting a rising readiness to fight and kill if it came down to it, to bare some of the sin. [[spoiler: Then he finds out a classmate and seemingly-normal friend of his was among the group they killed.]] Perhaps tragically, this only reaffirms Shuichi's motivations to protect those he cares about, enough to [[spoiler: murder a survivor of the incident out for Claire's blood.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Honoka asked the alien to turn her into Aiko when the latter killed herself so no one would know the beloved Aiko disappeared, thinking no one would miss Honoka. This action lead to her death by Kaito enraged at the thought Honoka was completely gone and Kaito's following descent into madness.]]
** [[spoiler: Elena is implied to have done ''something'' to wipe the memories of Shuichi, and seemingly killed her parents which traumatized her sister Claire. The result was a pair of close people left broken to the point that Claire attempts suicide, losing their senses of self until they meet eachother to hunt for Elena. If she was hoping for the best, now they've unintentionally become a massive SpannerInTheWorks for everything Elena was planning against Kaito, and are arguably in an incredibly unhealthy relationship that's only breaking the two down even further because of her actions.]]

* GoofySuit: Shuichi's monster form looks like a mascot dog costume, and is able to have a person enter from the back to control him, which Claire often does. [[spoiler:Naoto's monster form also resembles Shuichi's.]]

* GeniusBonus: The series title "Gleipnir" comes from Norse mythology, and is the name of an enchanted chain tied to a monstrous wolf. This refers to the connection Claire has with Shuichi, who turns into a dog monster.

* BadassNormal: Claire may not be able to fight on her own without Shuichi's help, but she's leader of the pair and is willing to face life or death situations despite how vulnerable she would be without him. It's this and the occasional IndyPloy that keeps her alive, at least until Shuichi starts pulling his own weight.



* TookALevelInBadass: Shuichi gaining more and more will and independence to do what ''he'' wants to do is a major crux of his character. [[spoiler: Though in some ways, [[ToxicFriendInfluence Claire's willingness to do whatever it takes]] gradually corrupts his own sense of justice and morality, so it's certainly not an entirely good thing.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Shuichi gaining more and more will and independence to do what ''he'' wants to do is a major crux of his character. It gets to the point around 40 chapters in, when faced with a massive torching of the entire area he occupies, he calmly wades through the fire and [[AnArmAndALeg rips off the offender's arm]] himself off of pure determination. [[spoiler: Though in some ways, [[ToxicFriendInfluence Claire's willingness to do whatever it takes]] gradually corrupts his own sense of justice and morality, so it's certainly not an entirely good thing.]]

* {{Irony}}: The leader of the hostile mountain Collectors is far and above stronger than Sayaka's group, having one-shot each of their strongest already, and makes them question their own allegiances when forcing them to pick one to sacrifice so the rest live. [[spoiler: He's one of the five dead in the oleander bush burning incident, solely because his attempts to ensure NoOneGetsLeftBehind led to him sustaining enough of the poison to drop and burn in a meager off-screened death.]]



* PutOnABus: Sayaka and her group temporarily go into hiding after the mountain arc, given they have no idea if [[spoiler: any survivors of the oleander bush burning]] may come after them and Ikuechi disappeared, nevermind realizing the sheer danger of going back up there. This leaves Shuichi, Claire and Sanbe to handle the next arc alone.


Added DiffLines:

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When the mountain Collectors force Sayaka's group to decide who gets sacrificed, Ikuechi loudly proclaims it's their only option with cold logic for the rest to survive given that the only person he cares about there was Chihiro. Then Shuichi makes it clear [[TheFriendNobodyLikes he would be one everyone picks.]] In the ensuing chaos of [[spoiler: the oleander bush burning]], he disappears and no one knows where he went afterwards.
** The rest of the group sans Shuichi and Claire do this as well after the arc concludes. Any of the mountain Collectors that saw their faces might come back for vengeance, they're incredibly outnumbered and weaker than they expected, and trying to gather the 100 coins for a wish was just too dangerous for them at that point. So they voluntarily [[PutOnABus go into hiding]] afterwards, though Sayaka's ritual curse on Shuichi and Claire remains.

And to top it all off, it's heavily implied that before his memories were wiped, [[spoiler: Shuichi was in love with Elena, who presumably wiped his memories somehow for reasons unknown.]]

It's only because he's defeated by Shuichi and Claire that he becomes an ally, and even that's an incredibly loose definition as it just means more likely fights for him.

His LaserGuidedAmnesia and lack of sense of self firmly makes him believe he's just a tool and incidental character to everyone around him, particularly Claire, even though the reader knows just how integral he is to the on-going plot. [[spoiler: Kaito in turn believes ''he's'' the tragic protagonist of this story, despite himself being a BigBad that wants to end the world out of despair.]]

This turns out to be an incredibly unhealthy and one-sided relationship, as Chihiro realizes [[spoiler: from her own full FusionDance]] that the two are simply incompatible currently for unleashing Shuichi's true potential.
* SecretSecretKeeper: After a distressful FusionDance that results in a huge fight, [[spoiler: Chihiro accidentally sees some of Shuichi's memories that are blocked within his own recollection.
