Line 35:
* [[Miko]]: Mikado.
* [[Multi Mook Melee]]: "Slash" Mode, renamed "Chambara" Mode in the sequel. How fast can you take down 100 [[Mooks]] with just your trusty katana before getting killed?
* [[Multiple Endings]]: The first game has a different ending depending on how well you upheld the Code of Bushido, as explained above. The sequel has 2 endings for the Shainto-side characters, which depends on {{spoiler|whether you kill or spare the last descendant of the Kagami
* [[Ninja]]: Red Shadow/Hotarubi. Night Stalker joins her in ''Bushido Blade 2''.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: An inherent part of the combat system.
* [[Professional Killer]]: Katze has been contracted in both games to kill the main guys.

* [[Samurai]]: The majority of the playable cast.

* [[Secret Character]]: Katze (both games) and Tsubame (second only). The second also has two nameless kabuki-themed characters to unlock.
* [[Shows Damage]]: In the story mode, after each fight, areas that were injured will be if you continue after being killed, areas injured prior to your defeat will be bloodied or bandaged.
* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: A very possible scenario in any battle if one can get in a well-placed clean strike on the enemy. See [[One-Hit Kill]]
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The ''[[Kengo]]'' series of games for the [[PlayStation 2]].
* [[Stance System]]: A central part of the game system. Each character has the same moves in each stance, only varying in their speed and power. The first game has three different stances to choose from, while the sequel included a few extra stances like [[Iaijitsu Practitioner|sheathed]] and [[Dual-Wielding]].
* [[Subsystem Damage]]: One of the game's unique features. Arms and legs can incapacitated in the first game, while the second only retained arm incapacitation. A broken arm would lead to weaker striking force and defense, a broken leg would force the player to "crawl-fighting".
* [[Too Good to Last]]: Thanks to [[Executive Meddling]], there will be no ''Bushido Blade 3''.
* [[True Companions]]: Tatsumi, Kannuki and Mikado seems to be very close. This is specially noticeable in their ''Bushido Blade 2'' endings.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Black Lotus is clearly distraught with having to kill female combatants.
== Bushido Blade ==
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Black Lotus in his ending.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: The sledgehammer, which was only available in the first game.
* [[Guide Dang It]]:
** There is a "clue" in the explanation for the story mode:
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: It's a ''gameplay element'' in the form of the Bushido Code. Acting dishonorably results in a [[Nonstandard Game Over]].
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Kindachi is hinted to be the one behind the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Face Heel Turn]].
Line 64:
* [[Old Master]]: Utsusemi, the oldest Narukagami-side character at 56, is the master for both Red Shadow and Tatsumi (as well as [[Mr. Exposition]] in the latter's case) and was the former leader of Kage before Hanzaki.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Gengoro to Kaun, Utsusemi to Tatsumi.
* [[Press X to Die]]: In both games, there's the option to surrender by pressing Select. In the first game, you need to wait for your foe to finish you off
* [[Promoted to Unlockable]]: Hongou, Sazanka and Tsubame were originally computer-controlled only characters in the first.
* [[Resignations Not Accepted]]: The Kage works with this code in the first game, which is what sets things into motion.
Line 84:
* [[Genki Girl]]: Jo.
* [[Iaijitsu Practitioner]]: Gengoro, Kaun, Tony and Utamaru makes use of the "sheathed" stance in the sequel.
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: In the second game's ending for both Kannuki and Mikado,
* [[Island Base]]: The Shainto's HQ.

Line 91:

* [[The Rival]]: Hongou considers Tatsumi his rival after his defeat in the first game. Utamaru seems to consider Kaun his rival, even though they are on the same side.
* [[Seppuku]]: You can end a fight by giving up; this causes your character to commit seppuku. See [[Press X to Die]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: Jo takes her [[Victory Pose]] from Cloud in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.
* [[The Siege]]: In the story mode, Shainto's forces has sprung an attack on the Narukagami's HQ believing their forces are reduced after the first game's ordeal.
* [[The Stoic]]: Kaun.
* [[Teleport Spam]]: Kannagisai. Every time the player strikes, he teleports out. The catch is that every teleport places him closer to the character, and leaves him vulnerable for a few seconds.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Certain characters have a sword subweapon that can be thrown and, on clean shots, [[One-Hit Kill|One Hit Killing]] the enemy.
