Provides Examples Of:

• Adopt the Dog: 12 years ago in the story timeline, Kira could have just as easily left Naruto alone to take care of himself, but he didn't while everyone else notably did. As Sarutobi put it:
  Sarutobi (To Jiraiya): Kira-san was the only one who did the right thing all those years ago by sticking with Naruto.
• Adults Are Useless: Kira has this attitude, and the only exceptions are his parents (birth mother included) and Anko. He even states that unless you’re no longer a teen, meaning that if you’re still under twenty, then you can’t really be considered an adult.
• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Kira will often pat Naruto on the head to show his affection.

• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: “Was it because of his age, his lack of experience, or because he couldn’t fry a hamburger and fries?“

• Asian Speekee Engrish: Averted as all three Uzumaki’s are able to speak English before they arrived in New York.

• Basement-Dweller: Kira’s room is the basement of the house they live in when in New York.
• Beneath the Mask: Naruto is cheerful and happy-go-lucky on the outside, but emotionally damaged on the inside from all of his failed attempts to fit with his Konoha classmates.

• Big Brother Instinct: Kira shows at a very early age that he is protective of his brother.

• Crappy Holidays: "Iron Maiden" is set on the forth of July, and the aforementioned Iron Maiden has rigged bombs to blow if Black Fox doesn't fight her.
• Crazy-Prepared: Kira managed to set up a place to live in New York in the span of almost two days. It’s not so farfetched if you think about the fact Kira never even liked Konoha and would have made sure to have someplace to relocate to.
• Crossover: Between The Spectacular Spider-Man and Naruto.
• Cuddle Bug: Naruto is not afraid of showing just how much he cares about the people in his life.

• Dramatic Irony: Both Naruto and Kira know about the bounty on their heads, but they don’t know that the other one knows and spend time toeing around the subject of actually bringing it up.

• Downer Ending: "Iron Maiden" for Naruto's fragile psyche. He thinks he's killed the antagonist, only to reveal that she's still alive.

• Elemental Armor: Naruto’s rock armour, which in actuality is just green reflective light covering his skin.

• Exceptionally Tolerant: Despite the fact the villagers treated Kira and Naruto so horribly, or at least only Kira, they are very tolerant and the breaking point was that they were going to effectively kill their mother.

• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Kira is this in a literal sense as he looks good, but his mind is filled with quite unpleasant thoughts.

• I'm a Humanitarian: Kira outright states that this is what demons see humans as.

• Tall, Dark, and Snarky: Kira’s disguised form has his normal brown hair, but he has gray eyes.
• Taking Advantage of Generosity: Naruto himself has shades of this as he genuinely thinks Kira will give him everything or let him do anything and the first time he's ever told no makes him nearly blow up.
• Thicker Than Water: Subverted as Kira greatly loves his adoptive family and they love him just as much.

  • Kira notes this about Sakura as he convinces Naruto that the girl just isn’t worth it when Team 7 returns from their mission to Wave.
    Naruto: She’s great, she really is! Honest!
    Kira: If that were true, then why do you let her hurt you?

• Would Hit a Girl: Kira's electrocution of Snapdragon and his fight with Quake.
• Would Hurt a Child: Iron Maiden is quite casual with attacking Black Fox, and Joystick is in this category as well.
• You Are What You Hate: A half example as Kira is shown to have an incredible amount of disdain toward humanity, yet he himself is half human, and the people who he cares about are also human. Justified in a way though as the acts of violence made against him and Naruto were committed by humans and humans were the ones who took the people he cared most for away from him.
• You Fight Like a Cow: Spider-Man and Black Fox alternate between this, and Black Fox even gets Spidey to play as a distraction because he thinks he's better at insulting people.
