H-P

 * Heel Face Turn: Throughout the middle of season 2, though averted as he wasn't evil to begin...
 * Heroic BSOD: After Satoshi's Ascended To Higher Plane of Existance, he is one of the people who seems to be taken hard from it, despite the fact he's appeared to be perfectly fine.
 * Even as of NG, he still hasn't recovered from it!!
 * Ho Yay: He has some (what are we kidding!)/a LOT amounts of this with Satoshi, right after his Heel Face Turn (not that he's evil to begin with anyways).
 * Older Than They Look: Due to being the "Kusanagi", Daiki himself stuck in his 16 year old body despite being 36 years old in Next Generation.
