| - Formerly Chrono No. XIII, nicknamed the Black Cat for the bad luck he brought his targets, Train abandoned his career as an assassin to become a Sweeper: a licensed bounty-hunter. Easy going and friendly, Train just wants to live his life freely. Unfortunately, as the re-emergence of his ex-partner Creed Diskenth proves, Train's past may not be as far behind him as he thinks...
* The Atoner
* Badass Adorable: When he was transformed into a child. Subverted on the "badass" bit where he couldn't handle his gun very well.
* Badass Longcoat: During his days in Chronos. (Which also contributes to the reason why some people thought he was better off in Chronos in the anime than when he went off on his own and started wearing doughnuts on his clothes.)
* Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: In the present.
* Badass Normal: All of Train's ridiculous abilities? Pure training combined with a really sweet gun.
* Badass Abnormal: He later gets the ability to turn his gun into a railgun, but he believes in the epilogue that he lost it once he no longer needed it - i.e., after he defeated Creed.
* Big Damn Heroes: Invoked. He waits up from the ceiling beams shortly after regaining his adult body back and watches the new Gas Mask Mooks, only stepping in at the last minute because he thought it would be cool. Cue the next panel where Sven beats Train to within an inch of his life.
* Big Eater
* Bishie Sparkle
* Bishonen: Very much so. Especially in the anime, and the later chapters of the manga (due to Art Evolution).
* Boring Invincible Hero: One of his fights with Creed is a tie; everyone else he beats, pulling one trick after another out of his hat.
* Bounty Hunter
* Cat Smile
* Celibate Hero
* Chick Magnet: Kyoko, Rinslet, Saya, and... it gets into the realm of Even the Guys Want Him.
* Cute Little Fangs
* Determinator
* Even the Guys Want Him: Sure, a huge portion of girls in the series want him. And so does Creed.
* Eyes of Gold: He's the trope image for it.
* Fatal Attractor
* The Gunslinger
* The Hero
* He's Got Legs: Moreso in the anime, but oh my goodness.
* Heterosexual Life Partners: With Sven.
* Hyperactive Metabolism
* Improbable Aiming Skills: He can shoot down other people's bullets.
* Master of Disguise
* Moral Dissonance: Train gives one speech after another about how killing is wrong, and releases psychos like Shiki, The Doctor, and Creed after defeating them. Yet at the same time, he killed two much less threatening opponents in cold blood in the first two issues. Might be due to the author not having figured out just what direction he wanted to take the comic yet.
* Something similar happens in the anime but it can be explained by Character Development.
* Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Even after leaving Chronos, his old nickname still paralyzes his bounty targets with fear if they find out his name or see the tattoo.
* Sprouting Ears: In more comedic moments, he sprouts cat ears. Definitely to go along with his Animal Motifs.
* Technical Pacifist
* Thou Shalt Not Kill: After Volume 1.
* Trigger Happy: Of the non-lethal variety. He's shown to get antsy and irritated when he hasn't shot anything in a while.
* Unknown Rival: Technically he is aware that Eve wants to be his rival... he just doesn't really care and tends to treat it like a big joke. She is not amused.
* What Beautiful Eyes!: His yellow, cat-like eyes. They're commented on several times by Creed and Saya - both of whom say that they're beautiful.
