** [[TheHedonist Shogun Tokugawa Nariyoshi]] is a [[PsychopathicManchild selfish, depraved manchild]] who loves violence as an art. [[TheCaligula The Shogun]]'s rule sees a bigoted genocide targeting nomads, with peaceful villages regularly wiped out to the last. Having numerous convicts engage in [[InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath brutal death matches]], the Shogun intends to send them to the mysterious island to hunt for the elixir of immortality despite knowing most will die because the Shogun intentionally sent numerous others to their deaths on "test" voyages first. Steadily revealed to be worse and worse throughout the series, the Shogun even once had entire families executed, [[WouldHurtAChild including infants]], just to watch the joy of bloodshed. Upon learning of the Iwagakure village chief's treason, the Shogun not only executes the chief but is indicated to have the entire village wiped out in retribution.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: It can definitely be hard to get into the series, what with its ''very'' [[CrapsackWorld dark setting]], its [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter tendency to kill off interesting characters]], the sheer bleakness of the cast's situation, the [[BlackAndGreyMorality sparseness of clearly heroic or sympathetic characters]] barring the female lead - something which remains arguable, given her [[PunchClockVillain role as an enforcer and executioner]] for a fairly nasty authoritarian state - with the main protagonist in particular bordering NominalHero (or even VillainProtagonist) status, at least in the beginning.
