Later in that same chapter when the group of monsters attack she complains about getting dirty again so soon after having just washed off.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Two of the limited edition alt covers available for the original Indiegogo run of ''Blade Devil: Ghosts of the Past'' feature Ashyara being assaulted by tentacles in a scene that looks like it was ripped straight out of a hentai. Not only does the scene in question never happen in the story, the book itself is supposed to be a fairly serious tale of a demon possessed swordswoman fighting monsters.

* {{Fanservice}} ''In spades.'' RGE and the rest of the folks at Sick Fox Studios are unapologetically supporters of good old fashioned cheesecake in all its many forms. Notably, the comic makes it a point to avert both NippleAndDimed and BarbieDollAnatomy from the first to last pages without so much as a stream of steam to cover up any naughty bits. The only censorship you'll ever see for this series are a few images posted on Indiegogo.

* RRatedOpening: The ''very first few pages'' of ''Blade Devil: Ghosts of the Past'' features Ashyara graphically mercy killing a group of BodyHorror afflicted bandits before going for a dip completely nude in a full page spread. The Indiegogo variant covers take this trope '''even''' further, with one design featuring a nude Ashyara struggling in a completely NSFW NaughtyTentacles situation. The scene depicted in said artwork ''never'' appears in the actual book at any point, it's just there for some easy titillation.
