* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: Genji, again.
Line 15:
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: One of the main themes.
* [[Dramatic Thunder]]: In the beginning of the movie.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: All "names" of the characters are not real names, but titles; "Hikaru Genji" means "the Shining Prince of the Minamoto Clan", "Lady Aoi" means "Lady Blue" and so on.
* [[Forgotten Fallen Friend]]: {{spoiler|Yuugao}}. In the very next day of her death, Genji can be found tired and yawning at his palace.
* [[Gainax Ending]]: The ending doesn't make any sense for most of the audience because is a typical zen philosofical ending: {{spoiler|after a revealing dream about his personal fears, Genji contemplates how empty is the meaning of life and dances with his fan.}} [[Mind Screw|I'm not kidding]].
Line 31:
* [[Upperclass Twit]]: Genji.
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: Genji seems to be convinced of this. {{spoiler|He breaks into Lady Fujitsubo's room undressing her, despite her protests and later approaches an unknown lady saying "It is useless to cry out, no matter what I do, I'm allowed to do it". The lady only murmurs as answer: "You are [[Magnificent Bastard|Lord Genji]], aren't you?"}}
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Sakura]]: Genji has nightmares with sakura petals and several occasions {{spoiler|imaginary fallen petals appears when [[Deus Angst Machina|something awful is about to happen]]}}. He develops some sort of "sakura trauma".
* [[Wife Husbandry]]: Even sometimes referred to as a Hikaru Genji Plan. In this version, Genji completes his plan and makes {{spoiler|Lady Murasaki}} his last conquer. To Genji's credit, it was not his idea, but To no Chuujo's. It's also him who suggest that {{spoiler|Lady Murasaki resembles Lady Fujitsubo}}; Genji answers that it was {{spoiler|[[Love At First Sight]] (even if she was just a child)}}.
