* AlternateCharacterReading: Combined with mistakenly reading the character for "fang" as "sword," this trope is what causes Grandpa Higurashi to mistakenly identify Sou'unga as the Kusanagi toward the beginning of the film. "Sou'unga" means "cloud-gathering fang," but Grandpa reads it as "Harikumo Sword," which resembles the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi's alternate name of "Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven)." When Souta notices that his grandfather has misread one of the characters, his mother notes the correct reading and the sword's actual name.

With neither one able to stop the blade on their own, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are forced to [[EnemyMine team up]] to stop So'unga.

!!''InuYasha the Movie: Swords of an Honorable Ruler'' contains examples of the following tropes:
[[index]]
* AnArmAndALeg: The first thing the Inu-no-Taisho does when he encounters Takemaru is chop Takemaru's left arm clean off.
* BigBadDuumvirate: So'unga and Takemaru.
* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: The film opens with Inuyasha's birth, with his mother Izayoi dying in the process as a result of Takemaru stabbing her with a spear. When the Inu-no-Taisho arrives, he uses [[HealingShiv Tenseiga]] to resurrect Izayoi, and then subsequently dies fighting off Takemaru.
* BodyHorror: While controlling him, So'unga sprouts CombatTentacles that wrap around Inuyasha's arm and pierce his hand, anchoring it to the hilt of the sword.
* DemonicPossession: So'unga possesses Inuyasha when he takes hold of its hilt.
* EnemyMine: Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are forced to join forces to defeat So'unga.
* FightingFromTheInside: Inuyasha during the entire time So'unga is controlling him. One good example is when So'unga attempts to force him to kill a woman and child; Inuyasha actually bites into his own arm to hold the blade back and allow Miroku to get them to safety.
* TheNecromancer: So'unga raises an army of zombies.
* StatusQuoIsGod: During the course of the film, Inuyasha's [[RestrainingBolt Beads of Subjugation]] are completely ripped apart in the process of liberating him from So'unga's control. By the end of the film, Kagome has had the necklace repaired and dupes Inuyasha into putting it back on, much to his annoyance.
