Line 39:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]] - Let us say that when we first meet Shogun Iemitsu the Younger there is a reason she comes off as a budding [[The Caligula|Caligula]].
* [[Deadly Decadent Court]]
* [[Death Byby Childbirth]] - Not explicitly stated, but {{spoiler|it is strongly implied that the numerous miscarriages Iemitsu suffered in her efforts to [[Heir Club for Men|bear a male heir]] were a major contributor to her early death.}}
* [[Death Byby Sex]] - {{spoiler|It is a rule dating from the time of Iemitsu for the first courtier of the Inner Chambers to lie with an unmarried Shogun to be discreetly executed for causing injury to her Hymen (Iemitsu the Younger had... [[There Are No Therapists|issues]]). Too bad nobody told [[Unwitting Pawn|Mizuno]] or Yoshimune ahead of time.}}
* [[Deus Angst Machina]] - {{spoiler|Arikoto comes to terms with being forced to abandon his religious vocation and become [[A Match Made in Stockholm|the bedtoy of the Shogun]] only discover that he is infertile... and Iemitsu is not.}}
* [[Disposable Sex Worker]] - {{spoiler|The ladies Kasuga hires for the monks.}}
* [[Divorce Requires Death]]: Yunoshin needs to be declared legally dead in order to leave the Ooku.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female Onon Male)]] - For Yoshimune, [[History of the World Part One|It's good to be the Shogun.]]
* [[Drinking Contest]] - Sakyo is first seen winning money in one. It seems he regularly drinks women under the table on a bet.
* [[El Cid Ploy]] - The original plan was to {{spoiler|conceal the death of Shogun Iemitsu until someone could sire a male heir on his bastard daughter and continue the Tokugawa line}}.
Line 55:
* [[Gender Rarity Value]]
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]] - Tsunayoshi borders on this.
* [[Prison Rape|Harem Rape]] - Yes, they went there. [[Averted Trope|No]], it's not [[Double Standard Rape (Male Onon Male)|played for laughs]].
* [[Heir Club for Men]] - Kasuga is essentially a member of the club, but most of Japan gives up on it by the time the younger Iemitsu is unveiled.
* [[wikipedia:Hemiplegia|Hemiplegia]] [[Death Byby Falling Over|By Falling Over]] - {{spoiler|Even [[Jerkass|Sutezo]] did not deserve that.}}
* [[Hidden Elf Village]] - The closing of Japan had a rather different rationale here. While the Dutch factory at [[wikipedia:Deshima|Deshima]] remained open, every trip the local ''Kapitan'' made to pay homage was precisely stage managed to conceal the lack of men in the country and government.
** Edo Castle served as a miniature version for several years after the death of Shogun Iemitsu the Elder.
Line 79:
* [[Praetorian Guard]] - A secondary purpose for gathering so many male samurai in one place, especially early in the Ooku's history. Even in the series' present day, the men of the harem are required to train with the sword and to patrol the castle.
* [[Primal Scene]] - Tsunayoshi catches {{spoiler|Yoshiyasu and Keishou-in, her best friend and her father}} and has a breakdown.
* [[Rape Asas Backstory]] - {{spoiler|Iemitsu (Chie), [[Child Byby Rape|twice over]]}}.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Shogun Yoshimune.
* [[Red Light District]]: Yoshiwara in Edo, which fell on hard times with the coming of the Red Pox and was later revived by Iemitsu to provide the women of the city a chance at children.
