* AdaptationalContextChange: Prior to the 1.58 patch in the Dragon campaign, Tao tells Kenji to "watch where (he) step" shorty after the latter takes out an ambushing Ninja. After said patch, Tao doesn't show up until Kazan walks over to the Ninja's corpse, suggesting that the former's reminder is aimed at the latter (and not at Kenji as initially assumed).

* AscendedExtra: Sperri (the Dragon Clan peasant) was originally exclusive to the tutorial, where the Geisha acted as a tutor. In the version 1.58, Sperri gains another role in Kenji's journey where, depending on which path the latter takes, either joins up with him (as thanks for saving the village earlier) or is among the villagers kidnapped by Serpent bandits and is made to work.

* AdjustableCensorship: There is an option to toggle the "Violence" option off, which leaves the weapons completely clean and gibbed enemies to simply disappear in a blue mist.

* CombatPragmatist: The Serpent Clan.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: When moving the cursor over an enemy to attack, the sword or arrow changes color: bronze means the target will resist and take less damage, silver means the target takes normal damage, while gold indicates this unit is extremely effective against the target.

* IceCreamKoan: Most of Tao's quotes. ''Forward is not backward'', ''Around and around'', and ''The path is the way'', among others.



%%* KillSat: The Dragon Spirit summon.



* MadeOfPlasticine: Because of how magic, explosive, and blunt-type damage works, there is a chance that a unit will explode into body parts if they are weak to it. This also means that a Monk (who fights barehanded), or a Musketeer (whose rifle bullets deal explosive-type damage), can reduce a person (or a horse) into pieces if they are weak to it.



* MultipleEndings: An odd variant, as you choose which path to take in the ''very first mission''. [[note]]If Kenji kills the peasants, you'll play as the Serpent Clan. However, if you kill the bandits instead, you'll play as the Dragon Clan.[[/note]]
* TheMusketeer: Kenji, once he reaches Serpentholm, gains a pistol he will draw and fire when not engaged in melee. Thus, his Critical Strike gains even more versatility in melee and missile.
