Ōoku: The Inner Chambers: Difference between revisions

* [[Jidai Geki]] - The Reverend Kasuga lived through the tail of the Sengoku period and the main body of the series is set in the early Edo period.

* [[Knight Templar]] - The Reverend Kasuga. She murders and kidnaps without batting an eye, and will use the only person she is halfway fond of as a brood mare. Her motivation?

* [[Lady Land]] - Not only have women supplanted men in all remotely dangerous or strenuous occupations, but by the time of Yoshimune they have also almost entirely sidelined men in rulership and administrative positions.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] - The story develops over several decades, so this trope naturally applies.

* [[My Beloved Smother]] - Kasuga {{spoiler|to the original Iemitsu.}}

* [[Oh Crap]] - When Shogun Yoshimune informs her childhood friend and longtime retainer Hisamichi of her intent to replace all the privy councillors with a single intermediary to serve as a go-between between her and both the councillors and "that troublesome lot in the Inner Chambers," the latter could only giggle at first.

'''Yoshimune''': "If so, then thou hast little reason to laugh, Hisamichi. 'Tis thou who shall fill the post." }}

* [[Only Six Faces]] - Mostly applied to young men.
