!!This Work Contains Examples Of

* AdventureDuo: Samhaine Tsuke and Siouxsie Silen.
* AllMenArePerverts: At least that's what Siouxsie believes.
* AllMythsAreTrue: The townspeople do not believe that monsters and marionettes actually exist.
* TheBlank: Samhaine Tsuke.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull:
-->'''Samhaine Tsuke''': "The death grip of love's embrace, stirs this blade awake".
* TheChosenOne: Samhaine Tsuke.
* ConstructedWorld: In this constructed world everyone is a puppet with a mask on. They wear these masks in fear of having their souls taken away when the Devil sees your face. When your soul gets taken away, you turn into a mannequin. Marionettes are mythical creatures that hold to a 'higher power' and are the only ones strong enough to fight the monsters. When someone gets killed, they explode in many red, waving lines that shoot out of the body.
* CreepyCrosses: Tons of crosses litter the town run by The Body's cult.
%%* CreepyChildrenSinging
* CrypticConversation: One of Samhaine Tsuke character traits.
-->'''River Girl''': [[LampshadeHanging "Ummm... you're weird, Mister!"]]
* CrucifiedHeroShot: [[spoiler:It's the ending shot of the film.]]
* {{Cult}}: Siouxie apparently comes from a town run by one. The cult in turn is run by a HumanoidAbomination called "The Body".
* DiagonalCut: A lot of the people and monsters Samhaine fights end up with this fate.
* ExpressiveMask: Samhaine's mask is unique in that it takes on different expressions, [[spoiler:and later distorts when he speaks.]]

-->*beat*
-->'''Cerealis''': "What... What does that mean?"
* {{Hammerspace}}: Samhaine Tsuke stores his sword inside his heart.
* HiredGuns:
-->'''Siouxsie Silen''': "I'm looking for the [[TheChosenOne Prince of Marionettes]]. I need to hire him to kill a monster."
* HollywoodHeartAttack: Played for laughs.
* IShallTauntYou:
-->'''Samhaine Tsuke''': "You can call me; your last words!"
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Samhaine wields one that he ''yanks out of his chest''. It also literally sings.
* LifeDrinker: Lord Wor.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Lord Wor is revealed to be Samhaine's father. And also the Clown.]]
* TheManBehindTheMonsters: Lord Wor.
* MrExposition: Two kids are fishing at the river. When one of them tries to take off his mask, the other one remarks:
-->'''River Girl 1''': "If you take it off right here, The Devil will see your face and [[YourSoulIsMine steal your soul!]] Didn't your parents teach you anything!?"
** Immediately subverted:
-->'''River Girl 2''': "My parents are over there." *cuts to the two mannequins at the other side of the river* "They never take their mask off, but that still happened to them. Did The Devil take their souls away?".
* [[SirSwearsALot Miss Swears-a-Lot]]: Siouxsie Silen has quite the foul mouth.
* OneManArmy: Samhaine is able to cut through literal armies of grunts with ease. [[spoiler:And he later takes on Lord Wor's entire militia.]]
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: When you die, black marionettes with white faces will try to catch your soul with their strings. When they do they will [[YouWillBeAssimilated turn you into one of them.]] Now with the [[http://youtu.be/hI82PJT5DZk official link]] to this scene!
* ThePeepingTom: Tatsuya.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Tons of them.
* PrehensileHair: Siouxsie Silen's hair seems to have a life on their own. They slip into the ExpressiveHair category sometimes.
* TheProphecy: A play called The Silent Form written by Samhaine Tsuke himself.
* PuppeteerParasite: The Devil requires a new vesicle.
%%* RuleOfSymbolism
* {{Samurai}}: Samhaine and Tatsuya both have design cues that are heavily reminiscent of samurai, though Tatsuya fits the actual role better as a member of Lord Wor's militia.
* SingleStrokeBattle: A lot of Samhaine's fights are this. [[spoiler:This includes the final battle.]]
* SwordFight: Samhaine crosses swords with a lot of opponents. They usually are single-stroke affairs with him coming out on top.
