* NintendoHard: Anyone who claims they can finish this game without using the Infinite Health Cheat is either 1. a play-tester who play games for a living or 2. a liar. Starting from the Cloud City, the game starts becoming frustratingly difficult, and the final level probably caused hundreds of innocent UsefulNotes/PlayStation consoles to be flung out of windows.

* BladeOnAStick: The ''nagayari'', a spear with an absolutely massive tip obtainable late in the end, is the powerful InfinityPlusOneSword of the game. Before that, some enemies like samurais will attack Kurosawa with spears.



* InfinityPlusOneSword: The ''nagayari'', a spear with an absolutely massive tip obtainable late in the end, is the extra-powerful weapon of the game.



* MultiMeleeMaster: Kurosawa, '''full stop'''. His skills in weaponry includes being deadly with a ''[[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]]'', a ''sai'', a battleaxe, a ''[[BladeOnAStick nagayari]]'', a ''[[CarryABigStick tetsubo]]'', a [[SerratedBladeOfPain jagged broadsword]], an infinite supply of [[DeviousDaggers throwing knives]], [[SmokeOut smoke bombs]], some [[GoodOldFisticuffs good old punches]] and let's not get into the arrays and arrays of power-ups Kurosawa can use against his enemies.

* AnAxToGrind:
** One of the obtainable weapons is a battleax, from the second level. It's shorter in range than the katana, but deals far heavier damage.
** Besides that, there are lumberjack opponents armed with axes at the end of the first level, right before the gates leading to the boss.

Misuse, the game is set in Japan, it's not this trope


* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja: Imagine if the game is called Regular Badass: Shadow Of Darkness. Who would want to play it?

Added DiffLines:

* FragileFlyer: Airborne enemies throughout the game (eagles, bats, gargoyles) are, in general, a lot weaker than land-based enemies, all of them lacking the ability to block your punches or flung knives and dying in just a scant handful of hits. There's also a winged ''T. rex'' boss -- the only boss which remains airborne for the entirety of its fight -- and that one has the weakest health, although it's hard to damage since it spends the whole battle swooping everywhere.
