Kokuto Kurokami/Tropes and trivias

Tropes and references regarding the character Kokuto Kurokami from BxB: Black Blade of Misfortune. For more tropes, follow the link to TV tropes.

Kokuto Kurokami provides the following tropes:

Absurdly Youthful Mother: Kokuto's mother Yozora met and had sex with azazel when she was a freshly out of college, which means that she had around 19/20 years old when she conceived Kokuto. Not to mention her youthful, almost childish mentality. Not that he cares much about it.

Acchiles' Heel: Despite not showing much, Kokuto is vulnerable against anti-divine weapons and Demon Swords as being the son of a fallen angel.

Affectionate Nickname: 'Kokkun' by his wife and mother.

Ambiguous Disorder: Kokuto's personality and traits shows signs of a mild case of narcissistic Personality Disorder, being quite full of himself and his own luck, lack of empathy and a rather distorted view on relationships and how dangerous people he spares are to the overall good of the world. No normal people would let a rapist or a mass murderer get out unscatched.

Animal Motif: Felines, more specifically cats. Besides having a Sacred Gear shaped like a cat, he's moody, lazy, whimsical and quite nimble, and unless something interests him, he avoids unknown people like the plague and is quite fond of milk.

• Foxes. Besides being possessed by one during the Tamamo arc, Kokuto fills most of the slots in the Trickster Archtype and is quite the gadfly.

Anti-Hero: Of the Nominal Hero Kind, except during the Tamamo arc in which he served as an unwilling Hero Antagonist.

Badass: His lack of motivation rarely stops him from being this.

• Badass Normal: Unlike other hybrid children, Kokuto lacks any special power from his mixed heritage, being the ability to fly or produce light weapons. most of the time, he relies solely on his own (human) strength, his wits and his incredible luck.
• Empowered Normal Badass: As the story goes on, Kokuto ends up in possession of several demonic weapons. Note that, while they are called demon weapons, they are mostly supportive in battle.
• Badass Bookworm: Although a case of Feignning Intelligence in order to look down on others, he is quite well-read and likes to drop quotes and events of some famous books.

Berserk Button: Wasting his time or calling him tacky makes his patience go out, fast. he also hates being ignored or made a fool of, which tends to happen a lot.

BFS: His own Kurokami, made from his own fallen angel body and flesh.

Bishounen: Despite his infamy in Kuoh academy, Kokuto is also known for being quite cute and has a slender, almost feminine stance and mannerisms which borders on Dude's look like a lady. Inverted during his adult years, in which he becomes quite a hunk, just like his father.

Blessed With Suck: Fortuna Ataraxia's main ability is the power to balance luck. While it might sound impressive, it means Kokuto is in a constant state of alert and danger since he wants to continue living his normal life, and once he uses his fortune to either escape or defeat a foe, his Sacred Gear will come full force on the next event, bringing him bad luck or even occurances that put everyone and him in danger.

Catchphrase: he has two - "Lucky~" and "Luck always sides with Kokuto Kurokami".

Character Tic: Has a habit of clicking his tongue and end his sentences with "Lucky~".

Combat Pragmatist: Since most of his enemies are way, way stronger and much more numerous than him, Kokuto has to rely on wits, speed and misdirection to come on top, although not every time he is able to assure the defeat of his enemy, but merely humilliate them.

Confusion-Fu: See trope above. Justified since all of his enemies are way stronger than him.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's really a lazy, uninspired, mean and quite idiotic highschooler who wants nothing more than talk about fashion and laze around his house and have dates with his girlfriend. He's also a dangerous foe which uses literal reality-warping powers to deal with his opponents.
