* BigBrotherInstinct: Arnold is Princess Emina's brother, and he'll happily tag along with Roy in slaughtering his way through monsters to ensure her safety.
Added DiffLines:
* MonsterBrotherCutieSister: Downplayed -- Emina is a very cute and defenseless young woman, and while her brother Arnold is also heroic and rather good-looking himself, he's clearly a lot more grizzled and prone to violence in comparison.

''Blade Master'' is a 1991 HackAndSlash arcade game produced by Creator/{{Irem}}.
----
Set in an unnamed fantasy kingdom where a once-defeated, hibernating King of Demons is to be awakened by his followers, the forces of darkness had kidnapped Princess Emina, a young sorceress who is the only person in the kingdom capable of unlocking the seal holding the Demon in place.
Two heroes - the warrior Roy whom is Princess Emina's lover, and the barbarian fighter Arnold whom is her brother - sets off on a quest to rescue the princess and prevent the Demon's return, in seven levels absolutely brimming with the forces of chaos. ''Awesome''.
Unrelated to the [[Film/TheBladeMaster Miles O'Keefe film with the same name]], the only thing they have in common being their HighFantasy setting.

** The giant living armors all use dual axes as weapons.
* AnimatedArmor: The second boss is a giant suit of armor armed with two massive axes. Like the first boss, it comes back later on in different incarnations (see DegradedBoss).
* AquaticMook: The river stage has [[FishPeople seahorse-men]] as enemies who will pounce out of the water to ambush Roy and Arnold as they attempt to cross.
* BackToBackBadasses: In two-player mode, Roy and Arnold against a seemingly endless legion of enemies. Watch each other's back!
* BalefulPolymorph: As Roy and Arnold made it to the chamber where Princess Emina is kept, [[spoiler: the princess suddenly starts transforming before her would-be saviours - turns out she has been cursed by the King of Demons into becoming ''two'' gorgons, both which must be defeated to complete the game]].
* BarbarianHero: Arnold the Barbarian, the MightyGlacier [[TheLancer lancer]] to Roy.
* CombatTentacles: The main weapon of the giant octopus boss at the moat.
* DamselInDistress: Princess Emina has been kidnapped by the King of Darkness and his phantom army, and it's up to Roy and Arnold to save her.
* DavidVersusGoliath: From the second boss onwards, each and every boss battle is against an enemy several times larger than Arnold, the bigger of the two heroes.
* DegradedBoss:
** The first boss (some eldritch fish-human-demon hybrid) isn't that tough when fought at the end of the first level, but from the fourth stage onwards they return as EliteMook enemies.
** The second boss (the AnimatedArmor) doesn't get degraded as much as the first, but when it's fought again it's treated as lackeys of greater bosses. Two of them serves as a DualBoss at the end of a later level, and towards the end of the game three of them forms a WolfpackBoss.
* DemBones: Skeleton archers, another member of the chaotic races serving the Demon King.
* DieChairDie: No arcade hack 'n slash would be complete if the player ''couldn't'' destroy literally everything in the foreground and background, right?

** Later in the game the living armour will appear, ''two'' at once, attacking Roy and Arnold together. And then three more before the final encounter, although they're a better fit as WolfpackBoss at that point.

* EpicFlail: Some of the enemies are flail-swinging orcs. For the heroes, Arnold's secondary weapon that he uses in conjunction with his trusty ax is a pair of spiked balls on chains, though he prefers relying on his trusty ax.
* FatAndSkinny: Arnold and Roy, in that order, though Arnold is definitely more on the "muscular" side.
* GiantSpider: Oversized arachnids are another type of enemy for Roy and Arnold to slice up. Beware their RollingAttack!

* NintendoHard: Get ready to bleed credits like crazy, for this game is ''merciless''.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Or No Holds Barred ''Stab'' Down, both Roy and Arnold have a special move where after knocking over an enemy, they then sat on their opponent and repeatedly thrushes their sword / ax downwards, causing plenty of damage on their target. It works even on bosses that towers over both heroes.
* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: The Hippogriff variety of gryphons serves as steeds for the forces of chaos. There's also a type of gryphon which is just a giant winged lion's head, complete with mane.
* RewardingVandalism: Destroy ''every'' background object, including barrels, crates, pots, ''everything'' for health bonuses and extra points.
* ShieldBearingMook: Lizard men armed with shields are another enemy type, which gives them ''slightly'' better defense when Roy and Arnold tries slashing at them. Still useless when the heroes use grappling moves, though.
