3	!! Tropes in this movie:
4

9	* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: The film is set entirely in Spain, with a samurai protagonist apparently for the hell of it.
10	* InsufferableGenius: Moira is very intelligent and she'll let you know it. She improves by the end of the film.

13	* PlotCoupon: The magical stones.
14	* ProductPlacement: The film was originally made with the aim of bringing Spanish culture and locations closer to Japanese society, so a large number of Spanish locations were thrown at the audience.
15	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Gisaku looks like an a cute lion cub.
16	* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Gisaku, while playing an important role in the climax, is little more than a pet for most of the film. Yohei is the actual protagonist.
