* PurpleIsPowerful: Definitely in full effect here. The main protagonist is a ronin mercenary named Shuranosuke who wears a purple robe and cuts through armies of deadly ninja and even other samurai like butter. His [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduction]] even has him effortlessly cut down a ''giant rampaging tiger'' in a single blow that splits the beast clean in half!
* SamuraiInNinjaTown: The lead character is a wandering samurai called Shuranosuke and his main foe for most of the OVA is a clan of ninjas that kidnapped a local princess to ransom for a valuable sword. He also fights a few other samurai as well, but most of his enemies are ninja warriors from the Seki clan.

* WouldHurtAChild: The Seki ninja, to show how truly vile and sadistic they are, murder an entire innocent family... including their young son. Even Shuranosuke (who's own body count seems to increase by about a dozen or so per day) is disgusted by them. In fact, the moment when he calls them out on this is one of the few times in the OVA where he seems genuinely angry.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: One of the most common if not ''the'' most common fatalities people can suffer in the "Sword for Truth" verse. The only other method of death that even comes close in number are [[OffWithHisHead decapitations]] which are about as frequently inflicted on the [[RedShirt Red Shirts]] as bisections. Shuranosuke even kills a giant rampaging tiger by cutting in half this way right at the very beginning of the OVA!
Added DiffLines:
* OffWithHisHead: Happens constantly. If some poor hapless {{Mook}} isn't getting [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe completely bisected]] in a fight you can bet he's getting his head lopped off instead. Soldiers, ninja and even a freaking ''horse'' all get decapitated at one point or another.

* DefeatByModesty: Early in the OVA a female pickpocket named Oren tries to rob Shuranosuke on a crowded city street. He puts a stop to it by slicing open her robe with his sword, leaving her to stand mortified in the middle of the road as her ruined clothes fall to the ground and expose her breasts for all of the onlookers to see.

* YouAreAlreadyDead: Done to an absolutely ''ridiculous'' extent. One particularly audacious example is Shuranosuke's duel with Gunbei, where the later is able to speak for several seconds after having his neck sliced through, even though his vocal cords should be well beyond shredded at that point.
-->'''Shuranosuke:''' The Silent Blow - Phantom! [swoosh]
