* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The game is actually set in the modern day, so the anachronism isn't the guy with the gun on the helipad -- it's that you're fighting him with a sword while dressing like you came out of the Edo period.

* [[Arbitrary Gun Power]]: Averted; a single shot to the torso will almost always put you down, through if you're lucky and get winged in a limb instead you can survive.

* [[BFS]]: A ''nodachi'' and broadsword are among the pool of weapons available to your characters.

Line 27:

* [[Eye Open]]: Happens when you continue after being killed.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: As noted above, Hanzaki in the first game. Black Lotus sorta as well, when he changes allegiances to the Shainto under a new identity, Highwayman.

* [[A Handful for an Eye]]: You can do this in both games by using the subweapon button without any subweapon. In the first game, though, this was considered [[Nonstandard Game Over|dishonorable]].

* [[In a Single Bound]]: A somewhat subdued version; no character can jump higher than their own height, and heavy weapons reduce this considerably.

* [[Lady in Red]]: Red Shadow. Her name could even be a reference to this trope.

* [[MacGuffin]]: The Yugiri sword on both games. An [[Ancestral Weapon]] of the Shainto's ancestors, stolen by the Narukagami's ancestors. It's also believed to be an [[Evil Weapon]] that sends Hanzaki into madness in the first game. The main objective of the Shainto in ''2'' is to recover it.

* [[Marathon Level]]: Slash Mode in both games.

* [[McNinja]]: Red Shadow is a ''Russian'' ex ninja, while Black Lotus is an ''Irish'' one.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]/[[Joke Item]]: The sledgehammer is a good weapon to use for incapacitating your enemies, but good luck actually killing anyone with it. Since it's not a bladed weapon, you can't get away with simply slashing or stabbing them. The game treats blunt attacks as non-lethal hits for the most part, so only a very specific blow to the enemy's head will actually kill them.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Black Lotus in his ending.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Hongou's subweapon is a handaxe.

* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: Hiragi Taina, the Narukagami side's [[Final Boss]], must be hit on the back to be killed. Attacking any other part results in a rebound due to his armor.
