* BatmanGambit: The entire reason Lord Ukyou allows [[spoiler: Sanzaemon to live after he kills the Lord's mistress.]]
** [[spoiler: To be precise, Lady Renko was exerting negative influences on Lord Ukyou. Lord Ukyou listened to her poisonous advice, including raising taxes on an already highly-taxed land (resulting in riots and the death of the riot leaders), complaining about lack of money for plays and other entertainment when the peasantry was practically starving, and getting the Lord to rebuild a useless temple so that her father could be installed as its head abbott. The only person to protest her influence to Lord Ukyou was Obiya (the Lord's stepbrother), and the Lord was so blinded by his love for his mistress that he shouted for Obiya to leave the room. Sanzaemon killed Renko as he saw it was his duty to end her "poisonous influence" (as he called it) on the Lord and expected to be executed for his efforts. Instead, the Lord's advisor Tsuda suggests to Lord Ukyou that Sanzaemon be kept alive and made Chief Bodyguard. Eventually things would get bad enough that Obiya would try to kill Lord Ukyou, and Sanzaemon (who is considered to be the best swordsman in the land, if not the best swordsman of his era) would be able to kill Obiya. At that point, Sanzaemon could be blamed for murdering Obiya and killed, and Lord Ukyou's desire for revenge could be satisfied. Everything [[ExactlyAsPlanned goes to plan]]... except for the part where Sanzaemon kills Tsuda with his final breath using his secret technique, the ''Hisshi Ken Torisashi''.]]

However, at the time of his death he accomplishes three important goals: he kills the Lord's mistress who was "poisonously" influencing him, he kills the Lord's stepbrother who was fed up with the way the peasantry were being treated, and he kills the Lord's advisor who came up with such an evil plan that ended in the deaths of many people.]]
