Magic Pants: Cain must wear some, because they're the only part of his outfit to survive his transformation into a wolf-man.One of his weaknesses is water, and in the first episode he ends up falling into the ocean and walking to shore. Made of Iron: Jiro, by Vampire standards.Kiss of the Vampire: One of the minor characters claims that " sex pales in comparison" to being bitten.Only three swords show up in the series, and two are katana. Jiro used is trained in using one, even doing so in the Hong Kong Crusade (technically a tachi, if we're not using katana as a generic term for Japanese terms instead of the specific term). Katanas Are Just Better: Partially justified, as the show is set in Japan.Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Man-Walker's puppet body, by the Pile-Killer (and how he got his name: he impales vampires with piles, you know, gigantic wooden stakes).The Immodest Orgasm: The typical result of being bitten by a vampire.Not so much against other characters, though. Guns Are Worthless: Guns are pretty much useless against the sword-wielding Jiro.Goggles Do Nothing: Although Jiro occasionally uses his as sunglasses, Kotaro's do nothing but hang around his neck.Zelman Clock's " Eye Ignite" also makes his eyes glow, though with all the fire it's hard to see. Glowing Eyes of Doom: The mind-controlling "Eye Raid" technique causes this for both the user and the victim.Foe Romance Subtext: Cassa and Mimiko, episode 10.When Mimiko turns her down, she puts the marker in Victoria's Secret Compartment. Face Doodling: Cassa offers Mimiko the chance to do this to her brother.Whether or not this is intentional I don't know, but if it isn't, it's one hell of a coincidence. Both characters have an affinity for fire as well. Expy: Zelman Clock looks a LOT like Heat from Bust-a-Groove. When all hope seems lost, as it begins to rain down water like the flood, and the bad guys look like they might get away with a hitch, what does he do? he jumps off the top of the boat, takes two silver bullets to the chest, impales the driver of the boat and manages to crash the boat into a giant pillar. Determinator: Jiro in the final episode.Deadpan Snarker: Jiro has some pretty good ones: "Are you intoxicated or just insane?".Daywalking Vampire: Kotaru is able to walk around in sunlight with no ill effects at all, while his brother Jiro smoulders if he doesn't have an umbrella and sunglasses.Curse That Cures: Chan was made a vampire using Kelly Wong's blood to save her life at her mother's request.Cue the Sun: Inverted it's not the sun, but the rain.The Comically Serious: Jiro rarely shows much in the way of emotions and lack an almost complete sense of tact (such as congratulating a woman for still being a virgin.) Needless to say, it often leads to quite hilarious situations.Cannot Cross Running Water: Some vampires, including Jiro, have this weakness. And there no way to bring them back once it happens.
