Line 19:
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: The series was allegedly supposed to continue, but Clavell died in 1993, not long after ''Gai-Jin'' was published.
* [[Badass]]: Too many examples to list, but from ''Whirlwind'' the Finnish pilot Yokkonen who fends off a mob of protestors with a fire axe, punches his way through a road block, convinces his captors to follow him in storming a fortified compound and rescuing his wife. Also, the ''one'' commando who liberates the prison camp in ''King Rat''.
* [[Bank Run]]: ''Noble House'' attempts to [[Averted Trope|avert this]] by seeking to have the overextended firm taken over in some form by a stronger competitor.
* [[Benevolent Boss]]: Dirk Struan knows all to well what conditions on ships are normally like, so he makes sure to pay wages on the day, in silver, and equips his ships with the best of everything. Sailors fight for the chance to work aboard one of his ships.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Asking whether or implying that Toranaga wants the Shogunate for himself is the only thing that consistently [[Samurai|gets an emotional reaction out of him]]. {{spoiler|[[Red Herring|That being said...]]}}
