Seven Samurai: Difference between revisions

Line 82:

* [[The Team Wannabe]]

* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: Kyūzō and Kikuchiyo are the extremes respectively of this trope in terms of samurai.

* [[Theme Naming]]: With the exception of Kambei all samurai have numbers in their names. Katsu''shi''rou: 4, ''Go''robei: 5, ''Shichi''rouji: 7, Hei''hachi'': 8, ''Kyū''zō: 9 (the kanji is different but the ~~pronounciation~~ is the same), Kiku''chi''yo: 1000. Probably intentional, but leaves one wondering why Kambei is an exception.

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Kikuchiyo prepares for the last battle by stabbing several swords into the ground. His response why? "I can't kill five bandits with just ''one'' sword!" After his signature nodachi breaks, he starts to use his spare swords until only two remain. Interestingly enough, he kills exactly five bandits in this final decisive battle.

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Subverted. {{spoiler|Kyūzō}} does this, but only to show the others where his attackers are hiding {{spoiler|before he dies}}.
