* BreakableWeapons: Happens often with Musashi's and Jubei's katana, and with Laundry Pole (in that case the blade can grow back).

[[spoiler: During the Yamata no Orochi arc, Yaiba's Supreme King Sword started cracking after blocking Onimaru's strongest attack only to grow even stronger later when the blade shattered and reveald its full power. The same goes for the Devil King Sword]].

Rain are good examples. Sure, Princess Kaguya in particular is an eldritch horror trapped inside the body of what looks like a Playboy bunny, but this juxtaposition of creepy mixed with cute makes for one of the strongest characters and arguably the strongest female in the cast.
* DarkerAndEdgierDarkerAndEdgier: The Princess Kaguya arc for the ''Yaiba'' anime involves higher stakes, fewer gags, [[spoiler:and Sayaka being sacrificed to Kaguya to awaken her true form]]. Ditto with the ''Yaiba'' manga, but it just ups the ante after every arc, like in the case of the Yamato no Orochi arc and the [[SeriesFinale Oda Nobunaga Tournament arc]].



* DemonicPossession: What happens to both Onimaru and Yaiba when they awakened Fujin/Raijin's spirit. In Onimru's case, Fujin "agreed" to merge with Onimaru. [[spoiler: Later weaponized against the mind-reading Diamond by summoning both spirits into his body]].

Also [[https://imgur.com/a/uvqyEGu here]]. It involves diagonal cuts connected to each other in a chain of slashes, resulting in a zigzagging type of cutting technique. Also, Burner's death.
%%
death also came about from a diagonal slash.
* DirtyOldMan: Musashi.
%%
Musashi in his old age is a prime example. He goes skirt chasing, skirt flipping, stealing underwear, peeping at young girls in public baths, and so forth. One time, he even jokingly referred to his testicles when an enemy asked him about the magical spheres.
