* PlotHole: When Jax and Stein discover a secret compartment it's protected by passcode lock. How did they get the code or how did they get through without it is never explained.
* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: None of the samurais Sara faces seem to be the least bit shocked about woman possessing the swordfighting skills she has, even though something like that would've been unthinkable in 17th century Japan.
** DownplayedTrope: The more-pressing concern of the Japanese people in this time-period seems to be that there are non-Japanese people in Japan. The samurai, who were warriors and thus likely historically encountered other nations' warriors, likely find it a cultural difference and are internally commenting that those "less-civilized" nations would dare train a woman in the art of the sword. Also, none of the samurai seem to recognize that she is better than them, given that even after she takes down a handful of them by herself they still think they can beat her.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The ninjas seen in this episode are wearing the stereotypical black suits and masks, even though [[Main/{{NINJA}} real historical ninjas]] didn't wear those. Also, the Shogun is represented as a small-scale local lord with a few dozen men and a single fortress, instead of the effective ruler of an entire country.
* BadFuture: Barry will be in dire straights down the line....but he doesn't want the Legends to help him.

* BittersweetEnding: The Shogun is killed and the villagers are saved, but Ray loses his suit in the process... but still accepts that even without it, he is a hero. Also, whatever Future!Barry's message was that Jax and Stein listened to, it was ''clearly'' about something bad... but they can't tell the others.
* TheBluebeard: Apparently Tokugawa Iemitsu [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade is quite openly one.]]

* WorthyOpponent: {{Subverted}} with the Shogun's [[TheDragon Dragon]]. He says that Sara and Vixen have fought with honor....and will now take it into their graves. This bites him in the ass somewhat, as Sara then uses a dirty way to win against him.
