* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Sonya is terrified of water, so much that, near the beginning, the threat of having water from a gourd poured on her head is enough to make her behave. Apparently her ship sunk on her way to Japan from Russia, killing her entire family.

* FantasticRacism: The commoners holds Raiden in disdain for being an orc, refuse to let him pass the night in an inn and, at one point, assume he attacked and wounded a child when he actually gave him medicine. In the last case at least, the child's mother realise his intentions and defends him from the mob, who apologize for their rudeness.

to:

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNoWhere
GiantSpaceFleaFromNoWhere: The setting is fantastic, but never once the viewer is told about how TheDragon, a seemingly ordinary man, can suddenly gets a whole mass of octopus tentacles to replace his missing arm.
* GunsAkimbo
GunsAkimbo: Thanks to the above-mentioned octopus tentacles for a hand, the villain's henchman can now wield and somehow fire both his revolver and at least three other rifles in one hand. So technically it's GunsAkimbo with one hand.
* {{Guyliner}}
{{Guyliner}}: TheDragon has purple lipstick and marks under the eyes.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade
HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The BigBad tries to enlist the help of Toshimichi Okubo, one of the three great leaders of the Isshin, to find the Wand to awaken the Dark Lord and be granted a reward. Subverted in that Okubo obviously doesn't trust him and, after his death, he's seemingly relieved and states that the new Meiji Government will prosper on its own, without magic or supernatural help.
* HolyBurnsEvil
HolyBurnsEvil: Hinted early on, when TheDragon's hand suddenly vanishes with a puff of smoke when Sonya activates part of its power. [[spoiler: The BigBad is downright pulverized.]]
* KarmicDeath
KarmicDeath The BigBad spends the entire story trying to get Sonya and have her use the Wand for darkness. [[spoiler: When she ultimately use the Wand, the presence of Iso and Chihaya's sister makes the radiance light-aligned and promptly evaporates him.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia
LaserGuidedAmnesia: Chihaya was the elf who once used the Wand to put an end to the Bakumatsu wars. As a result, she lost all her memories and thus took the name of "Chihaya" (Chiha can sound like "Destroyed Knowledge").
* MasterSwordsman
MasterSwordsman: The BigBad is incredibly skilled with a sword, even after exchanging the traditional katana for a western rapier.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch
MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Raiden admits that orcs are usually uncouth and only wanted for their prodigious brute strength, while he himself is much calmer and introspective.
* NeverBringAGunToAKnifeFight
NeverBringAGunToAKnifeFight: The climax has TheDragon with guns fighting Raiden, who uses a polearm. He manages to shot his leg off, only to have his entire cranium smashed apart.
* NonDubbedGrunts
NonDubbedGrunts: Painfully clear in the Italian dub of the movie, especially since many of the voice actors sounds nothing like their original characters (for example the original Raiden has a deeper voice than the Italian VA).
* OurCentaursAreDifferent
OurCentaursAreDifferent: A lone, small Centaur called "Tsukuyomi" lives in a small grotto near Mt Fuji and is a sage hermit and a MrExposition.
* SealedEvilInACan
SealedEvilInACan: A single line mentions that the Dark Lord is currently in a deep slumber, implying that the main villain wants to release him with the Wand.
* ShowDontTell
ShowDontTell: The anime movie is rather stingy on explanations and events: many things are shown onscreen, but more often than not, the viewer isn't told what they actually are.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome
SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: An half-blind swordsman full of determination squares off against his former master and superior in a sword duel. [[spoiler: After dealing a single wound on his opponent's hand, Iso is quickly overwhelmed, blinded and killed.]]
* TakingYouWithMe
TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: After having his brains splattered all over the ship, TheDragon still lifts one of his tentacles to shot Raiden right in the head, killing him.]]
* TheToothHurts
TheToothHurts: To show his genuine intentions, Raiden rips out his right tusk and crush it into powder. Apparently it's an important orcish oath.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakesWhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Sonya is terrified of water, so much that, near the beginning, the threat of having water from a gourd poured on her head is enough to make her behave. Apparently her ship sunk on her way to Japan from Russia, killing her entire family.

AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Chihaya's sister is so identical she's mistaken at least once per character.
* ApocalypseMaiden
ApocalypseMaiden: Sonya is a Bright, as such she can use the Wand to either cast a brilliant light or to call forth a wave of darkness. The villain apparently seeks to corrupt her.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory
AnArmAndALeg: TheDragon has his hand somewhat dissolved when he tries to restrain Chihaya and Sonya. During the final battle he shots off Raiden's leg by simultaneously unloading two rifles in the knee.
* BackFromTheDead
ArtisticLicenseHistory: The opening's view of the Bakumatsu seems to depict the fight between the Isshin Shishi and the Bakufu as an endless conflict that would have lasted forever if not for the Wand. in real life, while the revolution was bloody and long, the "final battle" ended with Tokugawa Yoshinobu fleeing Edo Castle and surrendering, leaving the Bakufu Remnants to seek refuge northwards as the Shishi took over the capital.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe
BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Sonya's use of the Wand brings Iso and Raiden back to life, though they still sport the scars of their battles.]]
* BruiserWithASoftCenter
BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason why Raiden, despite being an orc, holds no hard feelings towards Elves and he actually goes along pretty well with Elvish children, like Sonya.
* ClassyCravat
BladeOnAStick: Raiden wields a curious polearm which seems to be a lethal mix of a ''sasumata'' (a japanese polearm with a U-shaped tip made to catch and restrain thieves) and a ''shou'' (a chinese spear with a thicked section near the blade covered in studs and spikes).
* CombatTentcles
BruiserWithASoftCenter: Raiden is massive, threathening and tusked. He's also a very kind soul and a gentleman.
* CurbStompBattle
ClassyCravat: Iso wears his scarf like a cravat under his kimono, for some reason.

CombatTentacles: During the final clash, TheDragon [[AssPull inexpicably]] growa a set of pink octopus tentacles in lieu of his missing hand, allowing him to manhandle his opponents and wield multiple guns at once.
* EqualOpportunityEvil
CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Iso makes the best use of his resolve to save Sonya and fights his former mentor and current BigBad... [[{{Anticlimax}} and gets his own ass handed to him so bad he gets killed]].]]
* EyeScream
DarkIsEvil: Hint, if it has a dark aura then it's bad news and will inevitably use the Wand for evil.
* FailureHero
DrunkOnTheDarkSide: The Dragon is clearly intoxicated and much more insane-sounding while he sports the octopus tentacle-arm.
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence
EqualOpportunityEvil: The bad guys routinely employ orcs, goblins and dwarves in their forces.
* ForcedIntoEvil
EyeScream: Iso lost his eye to his former master and use his hair to cover the gash. [[spoiler: He loses the other eye during the climatic final fight, but he gets better thanks to Sonya.]]
* GentleGiantFailureHero: [[spoiler: In the end, both Raiden and Iso fail to accomplish something in trying to stop the bad guy from getting Sonya, they only manage to (indirectly) hand the Wand to Sonya, who's somehow able to channel its powers to destroy the BigBad and save everyone.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Raiden finally kills TheDragon by smashing his entire skull with the spiked part of his polearm, leaving a dangling mandible attached.
* FauxActionGirl: Chihaya's sister actually joins the heroes in fighting the main villain with a dagger... and gets kicked in the ass without landing a single hit.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Raiden at the beginning of the movie. The deal was that finding the elf girl in the brothel would be his last task, then he'd be free to do as he liked.
* GentleGiant: Raiden is enormous and strong, but also very kind to the point that he never once react with violence or threats to the showing of FantasticRacism he receives.

'''Bright: Samurai Soul''' is an animated, AllCGICartoon spin off of the fantasy/crime movie ''Film/{{Bright}}'', this time following the JidaiGeki genre and set not in modern day Los Angeles but rather in Meiji-period Japan.

During the Bakumatsu period, the harsh struggle of the imperialist Isshin Shishi against the forces of the Shogun reached its peak, but during the darkest, most hopeless time of the battle, a mysterious pillar of light eneveloped Japan, everyone lost their fighting spirit and peace was reached. A few years later, Iso is a mysterious, one-eyed former samurai working in a high-class brothel where the most beautiful Tayu of the country, Chihaya, lives. An elf child, Sonya, is sold to the brothel and that very same night a group of armed thugs attacks the building, among them a mighty orc called Raiden. Thanks to Chihaya's sacrifice, Iso and Raiden manage to get away with Sonya and promise to deliver her to safety in the elvish colony of Hakodate, but the forces of the evil Inferni are after them, seeking the little Sonya and the mysterious "Wand" that should be in her possession to awaken the Dark Lord and unleash darkness on the country.

Contrasting its movie source, ''Bright: Samurai Soul'' has a bigger emphasis on the fantasy genre, the FantasticRacism motif, while present, is much less prominent and the story has a more BlackAndWhiteMorality mindset at work.
