Line 139:
** This is Shun Akiyama's default weapon configuration in ''Of The End/Dead Souls''.
** Averted in Jo Amon's case in ''Kenzan!'', as he uses a sword there.
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: {{spoiler|Kuwana}} in ''Lost Judgment''. However justifiable one might consider killing bullies who drove their victims to suicide, by the time he's blackmailing bullies with their wrongs so as to coerce them into helping him and getting innocents caught in the crossfire, it's a lot more murky as to whether it's still long-overdue justice he's meting out.
* [[Hollywood Healing]]: Most main characters, and even mooks to an extent, regularly survive beatings that would kill most men ten times over. It's especially obvious when you use a triple katana slice or pistol on a lowly purse snatcher... and they live.▼
* [[Heroic Bloodshed]]: ''Ryu Ga Gotoku'' has a lot in common with Heroic Bloodshed movies in terms of thematic elements.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: So many. There's an instance of [[Taking the Bullet]] pretty much once per game.
Line 165 ⟶ 164:
* [[Hidden Depths]]: While Kazuma's fists bring justice to man, his voice will shake your soul.
* [[Hide Your Children]]: Averted in the third game, not only with the Sunshine Orphanage kids, but other kids as well can be seen walking around Downtown Ryukubu.
▲* [[Hollywood Healing]]: Most main characters, and even mooks to an extent, regularly survive beatings that would kill most men ten times over. It's especially obvious when you use a triple katana slice or pistol on a lowly purse snatcher... and they live. Even moreso in ''Kenzan!'' and ''Isshin!'', where the sword combos can be ''way'' longer...
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: SO MUCH.
* [[Idiot Ball]] / ''[[What an Idiot!]]'': Happens many, many, many times in all games. Rail-thin street punks picking a fight with gigantic, dangerous-looking Saejima, frequently overlapping with ''[[Suicidal Overconfidence]]'', and don't get me started on most 'betrayals.'
Line 188:
* [[Mirror Boss]]: The final boss of Kiryu's half of ''0'' has three phases mirroring Kiryu's [[Stance System]] - a speed-based style analogous to Rush, a power-based style that emphasises using environmental objects analogous to Beast, and a balanced style analogous to Brawler or Legend.
* [[Miyamoto Musashi]]: Appears in ''Kenzan!'', eventually getting a name change to {{spoiler|Kiryu Kazumanosuke}}.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]:
* [[Mooks]]: An endless horde of thugs, gangbangers and Yakuza endlessly harass Kazuma with their tough talk and cruel actions. He is not impressed.
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: The thugs constantly trying to beat up/extort the main characters as they walk down the street have no idea what they're getting into. In Tanimura or Akiyama's case, that's somewhat forgivable as neither of them look anywhere near as strong as they are. Well-built, clearly-a-Yakuza Kazuma and built-like-a-brick-shithouse-on-steroids Saejima, on the other hand....
