1 | * The idea behind Gennosuke and Hyoma's powers. Basically, ''[[PsychicAssistedSuicide they can drive you to suicide with only one glance at you]]''. it's even worse in Hyoma's case as, for different reasons in each continuity, ''he cannot control it'' -- there's a '''HUGE''' reason why he practically lives with his eyes closed. |
2 | * Almost all of the deaths in this manga are really horrifying -- if they're not [[CruelAndUnusualDeath bloody and painful]], they're inspired [[PrimalFear in some of your insecurities and fears]]. I.e. we have: |
3 | ** [[spoiler: Shougen being stabbed all over by a maddened Hotarubi, because he spit at her at the worst moment possible]]; |
4 | ** [[spoiler: Jousuke having Jingoro [[ForceFeeding forcing himself]] down his throat and killed ''from the inside out'']]; |
5 | ** [[spoiler: The aforementioned Hotarubi having [[AnArmAndALeg her hands cut off]] and then being stabbed through the chest, before her lifeless body falls off a cliff]]; |
6 | ** [[spoiler: Gyoubu being stabbed to death ''when still merged to a panel'' '''and then having said panel put on display''']]; |
7 | ** [[spoiler: Jingoro falling into the sea ''and freaking dissolving'' before he can be fetched by his clansmen, which was actually [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes his worst fear]] ''ever'' coming true]]; |
8 | ** [[spoiler: Okoi being bound, [[ShamefulStrip stripped]], tortured, [[AttemptedRape almost raped]], ''and'' finally made into a HumanPincushion ''right when she was about to get free'']]; |
9 | ** [[spoiler: Koshirou being given a KissOfDeath by Kagerou as Saemon uses his blindness to trick him into believing his friend Akeginu is coming from him]]; |
10 | ** etc. |
11 | * [[spoiler: How Tenzen's [[CursedWithAwesome resurrecting powers]] work - [[BodyHorror a demonic symbiote, either the vengeful spirit of his dead mother (anime) or his unborn twin brother (manga), inhabits his body and feeds on his wounds to regenerate him.]]]] |
