Line 11:
* [[Bad Cop, Incompetent Cop]]: The local constable is useless and venal, and attempts to get a finders fee for recommending that Sanjūrō join one side of the gang war.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Sanjūrō is able to destroy the two rival gangs by exploiting their leaders' personalities and the fact that both of them desperately want his skills.
* [[Bodyguard]]: Pretty much required in a work whose title translates as "Bodyguard". Kuwabatake Sanjuro is the ronin who the local crime bosses want to hire as their private bodyguard.
* [[Character Tics]]: Sanjūrō has a habit of keeping one hand inside of his clothing and twitching his shoulders. The idea behind this is that he's like a wolf/dog and has fleas- making him ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|a character with ticks]]''.
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Sanjūrō is a crack shot knife thrower.
