* [[Bearer of Bad News]]
* [[Driven to Suicide]]
* [[Fallen Hero]]: Washizu.
* [[Heir Club for Men]]: Washizu is perfectly happy to have Miki's son as his heir, until Lady Asaji reveals she is pregnant.
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: Washizu, possibly even more than [[
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Lord Tsuzuki.
* [[I Have Come Too Far]]
* [[Kabuki Sounds]] much of the score is like this.
* [[Lady Macbeth]]: Asaji (not surprising, since she's based on the [[Trope Namer]]).
* [[Lonely
* [[Mobile Shrubbery]]
* [[Ominous Fog]] in spades.
* [[Out, Damned Spot!]]: Isuzu Yamada does a terrific mad scene. Also, she never blinks throughout the entire film (a direction from Kurosawa), which only adds to the crazy.
* [[Prophecy Twist]]
* [[Rain of Arrows]]

* [[You Have Failed Me...]] and [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Washizu kills the assassin he sent to collect Miki's head. This is either to get rid of someone who knows too much, or because the assassin failed to kill Miki's son as well (or both).
