* [[Battle in |
* [[Battle in the Rain]]: The final battle between Yang and the Saddest Flute takes place in a storm that literally blows up out of nowhere (It seems to be a flashback to a training session substituted in place of their actual final fight). |

* [[Booze Flamethrower]]: The fire eater from the circus uses this to light the candles on a birthday cake. It becomes a [[Chekhov's Skill]] when he later uses it to light a couple of the Colonel's henchmen on fire. |

* [[Chinese Launderer]]: Yang takes over the laundry when he arrives in Lode, mainly because that's what everyone assumes he'll be good at. He actually has to learn how to do it from Lynne. |

* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: Invoked and averted - ninjas react just like anyone else to gunfire. Indeed, in the big fight at the end the ninjas actually do so well against the gun-wielding cowboys ''because'' there are so many of them, so the cowboys have trouble picking targets properly before being cut down. As for Yang, he is, after all, the Greatest Swordsman in the World and thus not necessarily reflective of the overall quality of the brand. |

* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Throughly averted. The ninjas clearly have superhuman abilities and are able to dodge thrown knives, but they can't dodge bullets, and react to being shot just like anyone else. In the final fight the ninjas definitely have the advantage (due in large part to the panicked [[A-Team Firing]] of the cowboys), but the cowboys do manage to hold their own, especially once they bring out the [[Gatling Good|Gatling guns]]). Noteably, Yang never faces gun-wielding opponents head-on; he either catches them by surprise, or fights while concealed inside a dust cloud or in darkness. |
