Starting with the Kokuyo Arc (Ep. 20+), the series shifts into a traditional battle shonen with serious stakes, complex villains, and the introduction of the series' signature style.

The supporting cast, such as the hot-headed Gokudera and the cool-headed Yamamoto, often outshine the lead with their distinct fighting styles and loyalty.
