Line 7:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Most of the soundtrack. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yKG-Qu4WvM Shinshuu Plains]" is particularly notable, as are "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09FEJXihD9I Kamiki Festival]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9Rs3q2hApU&fmt=18 Ryoshima Coast]", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkLC0kX8FSI Shachimaru/Orca's Theme]".
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RmldFiyvvo&fmt=18 Reset ~ Thank You Version]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3yxTbkh5s The Sun Rises]" deserve special mention, since they play during the game's greatest [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], respectively.
*** "The Sun Rises" is also the theme of Yami in ''[[
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlA8tvScZ6M Demon Lord Ninetail's Extermination]" One of the most exciting boss theme's for the most action packed boss battle of the game
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5lYkbWdiSY Kushi's Ride]" is comparable to ''[[The Legend of Zelda|Twilight Princess's]]'' "Midna's Lament". Both songs are played during urgent events, but while the latter is a melancholy solo piano arrangement of a character's theme, the other is more orchestrated and bass heavy.
Line 13:
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D566niVB0lQ Kamui of the Northern Lands]"
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPpOMxVyaIA Okami White Light]" is awesome, in the sense that it inspires awe.
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfczAmFIsTE Theme of the Celestials]" is so beautiful it brings a tear to the eye.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Issun's {{spoiler|speech at the end of the game.}}
* [[Designated Villain]]: Tobi's [[Boss Subtitles]] call him an "Evil Being". He never does anything evil. Ever. In fact, he's very polite.
Line 20:
** Among the bosses, Lechku and Nechku get this for their unique design (Clockwork owls, anyone?), bizarre yet awesome boss theme, and their equally fantastic boss fight which involves you teaming up with Oki to bring them both down.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: {{spoiler|Rao... or at least Ninetails pretending to be Rao.}}
* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: People really like pairing Kai up with Oki.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Vengeance Slips render Amaterasu invulnerable to any combat damage, and they last a while too. Add this to that you can buy them at a price that's oddly low by the end of the game and you can hold 99 of them, and nothing can touch you.
** The Thief's Glove Item allows you to use Issun as a weapon, nevermind the fact that he can easily steal items such as Steel Fist, Steel Soul Sakes and the aforementioned Vengeance Slip, he also deals damage. [[Magikarp Power|The damage is miniscule at first and grows with usage, but the problem is that]] ''[[Magikarp Power|it doesn't stop]]'' [[Magikarp Power|growing]]. Which means if you have the patience to use it a few thousand times (getting tons of treasures in the process), he can [[One-Hit Kill]] ''bosses''.
Line 54:
** {{spoiler|Seeing your past self on its last legs, fighting along side you to protect a future and using the last of its energy, is a fairly big [[Tear Jerker]] as well.}}
* [[Porting Disaster]]: Averted with the Wii port, though a couple things were lost in transition (as Clover Studios no longer existed at the time).
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Considering all the awesome powers {{spoiler|your past self Shiranui}} demonstrated, you'd think that you'd also get to use them when your {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|Eleventh Hour Superpowers]] activate during the final phase of the final boss}}, but nope, all you get is a fancy glow.
* [[Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer]]: And how!
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: The game is approximately as subtle as a shotgun in the way it presents its lessons, but they're lessons that need learning. Two of the biggest ones are that people shouldn't be selfish with their prayers, and they also shouldn't rely on the gods to fix everything for them. You can usually count on Issun to deliver one of these.
Line 60:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Kaguya {{spoiler|going back to her true home}}.
** The Gale Shrine ghost {{spoiler|who mentions that he is Fuse's husband before departing}}. Queen Himiko {{spoiler|'s death}}. Shiranui {{spoiler|dying in front of Amaterasu}}. Amaterasu {{spoiler|going home}}.
** Even Tobi gets one when he dies, despite literally being a scrap of paper. At least you have something to blow your nose on.
* [[That One Boss]]: Okikurumi, despite not even being an enemy, let alone an important boss, is surprisingly hard the first time you fight him. Especially when he starts using his ice clones. Even more surpriing since you meet him not long after defeating Kyūbi and make your first steps in the northern region. Talk about a welcome!
** Blight as well, his attacks are quick and hard hitting, and his weakness isn't readily apparent at first. If you haven't gotten the hang of your time-stopping powers yet, he puts up one hell of a fight.
* [[That One Sidequest]]: Blockhead Grande & Black Devil Gates.
