* On the way to his final showdown with Retsudo, Itto is often assisted by the Yagyu retainers who, after escorting him for a part of the trip, then feel obligated to challenge him to a duel on behalf of their master. Itto acknowledges them as [[WorthyOpponent worthy adversaries]] and laments that every man he kills is another [[KnightInShiningArmor true samurai]] gone from this world.

* Headless Sakon was once a MasterSwordsman who gave up his social standing as a samurai to live as a street performer simply because he could not abide being a complacent part of the inherent injustice of the aristocratic class system in which he lived. He challenges Itto to a duel not because Itto has a contract in which he is tangled up or because he cares about the price on the Lone Wolf's head, but entirely because he is concerned for Daigoro and wants the boy to grow up with a proper father, whether it is Itto or himself, and cannot talk Itto into giving up his life as an assassin. When the two meet, and he narrowly loses because Itto proves to be ''less'' of a samurai than Sakon, because he is willing to [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks hurl his blade as a missile weapon, symbolically abandoning his honor]], Sakon [[GracefulLoser talks shop with him for a minute]], before begging him in moving terms to think of his son, and to abandon his dark path to be a father rather than chasing after a revenge that is just as fleeting and impermanent as human life. Itto weeps stoically as he and Daigoro leave, declaring him, essentially, a Buddhist saint, and seemingly causing him to rethink things, given the next chapter is a flashback that finally reveals his past.

* Quite common. In one particularly notable example, Itto gets an assignment to take down a female fighter who has gone on a killing spree through the ranks of a feudal lord. During the encounter, Itto finds out that she is killing the many samurai in order to draw out a samurai officer who previously raped her. Even though he is bound by contract to kill the woman, Itto compares her quest to his own and stands back, allowing the woman to kill her tormentor, getting her revenge. Out of respect she then faces Itto in formal duel, even though the [[CurbStompBattle result is obvious]]. After having [[KillTheCutie slain his target]], Itto states that she can finally be at peace "in a place where nobody will ever harm her again". He then grants her a warrior's funeral and sheds ManlyTears.
