* CreatorKiller: As stated above, Tranji Studio seemed to have simply existed to make this one game...before fading away completely.

* StillbornFranchise: The obvious SequelHook nature of the game intended this to be a franchise of its own. Were it not for the ObviousBeta status, it would have been a serious contender against the then-reigning champion of stealth assassin genre, ''VideoGame/{{Tenchu}}''. Alas, Tranji Studio went under after making the game and Vivendi Universal Games shifted their priorities.

** Interestingly, Tranji Studio is a temporary studio created as a joint cooperation between New Corp and Opus Studio Incorporated. While New did develop some noteworthy game (one of them being ''VideoGame/TheAdventureOfLittleRalph''), New Corp essentially underwent a reorganization and split itself into many studios (one of them becoming Think and Feel, co-developers of ''[[SummonNight Summon Night X]]'', and [=GrandPrix=] which mainly developed licensed ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' games), while New itself became Ertain, a (now defunct) publishing company [[note]]Interestingly, they are listed as the developer to an obscure [=PS2=] game, ''Gladiator: Road to Freedom'' (Colosseum: Road to Freedom in US/EU)[[/note]]. Meanwhile, Opus was and has been publishing Marvelous-developed games (one of them being ''VideoGame/HalfMinuteHero'') before Marvelous became [=MarvelousAQL=]. See this [[http://gdri.smspower.org/wiki/index.php/Opus link about Opus in GDRI]] for more details, including partnership with Ertain/New above to form Tranji Studio.

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** So [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Zim]] was a Sengoku-era warlord, huh?
** The artist that drew the front cover as well as Kurenai's sketches is d.k., pen-name for Dong-Kyu Kim, a Korean living in Japan. He also happens to draw the concept sketches for ''VideoGame/{{NieR}}'' as well.

** Interestingly, Tranji Studios does seem to be created to be a temporary alliance between New Corp and Opus Studio Incorporated. While New did develop some noteworthy game (one of them being VideoGame/TheAdventureOfLittleRalph), New Corp's staff quit the company and formed many studios (one of them becoming Think and Feel, co-developers of [[SummonNight Summon Night X]]), and what was left of New became Ertain, a publishing company (now also defunct). Meanwhile, Opus was and has been publishing Marvelous-developed games (one of them being ''VideoGame/HalfMinuteHero'') before Marvelous became [=MarvelousAQL=]. It seems that everyone involved in this game was in sort of a limbo until their demise (except for Opus, which somehow survived to this day)
