Line 9:
* [[Childhood Friends]]: Saoirse has been William's Guardian Spirit since he's a child. It's also evident that the two are close.
* [[Crossover Cosmology]]: Downplayed. But in addition to Buddhism and [[Japanese Mythology]], there are also elements of [[Celtic Mythology]] and Western European mysticism in relation to alchemy.
* [[Distant Prologue]]: Sort of. The game's opening starts off in 1598, two years before the main plot begins.
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: A secretive cabal led by Edward Kelley {{spoiler|and Sir John Dee}} has not only been using Amrita to win England's battles against the Spanish, but has also sets its sights on Japan ostensibly for [[Elizabeth I (miniseries)||Queen]] and Country. With Kelley trying to further stoke the flames of war there.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: In addition to the use of English and Japanese, there's also Irish Gaelic.
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Many of the human characters in the game, including [[Hattori Hanzo]], [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]], and the actual William Adams.
Line 30:
* [[Translation Convention]]: Played with. European characters like William speak in English whereas Japanese ones by and large speak ''only'' in Japanese. William's able to understand them though, in part due to magical [[Babel Fish]] as well as through the likes of Hattori Hanzo, who ''can'' speak English.
* [[Unobtainium]]: Amrita, which is equated to the Philosopher's Stone among the Europeans. It's also why the likes of Edward Kelley are so interested with Japan, as it has enough Amrita to allow them to defeat England's enemies and [[Take Over the World]].
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: It's mentioned that England had been using pirates and privateers to scour the known world for Amrita. By 1598 though, William is shown imprisoned at the Tower of London and slated for execution due to Kelley wanting to dispose of potential loose ends and deeming them unnecessary.
