Kebiishi, enemies considerably more powerful than the usual ones and that "infect" a map if the player goes to that map’s boss node too many times. Once a map is infected, the Kebiishi will randomly show up at any node except de boss one. And they don’t leave, even after you defeat them.

* TheWoobie: To a degree all the characters could qualify as this, since all their former masters are long deceased, and some of the swords were quite attached to them.
** The Samonji brothers are particularly known as this. Souza and Sayo have had pretty depressing lives, the former being imprisoned and seen only as a symbol of victory, and the latter used as a tool for murder and revenge. Kousetsu is also this to a lesser extent, in that he despises war and violence, but being a sword, it's his duty to keep fighting.
** Imanotsurugi is so upbeat it's easy to forget that he was used to commit suicide by his former owner Yoshitsune.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: "Anmitsu" is often used for the Yamato-no-Kami Yasusada/Kashuu Kiyomitsu pairing, which comes from combining the kanji in their names. Anmitsu also happens to be a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anmitsu Japanese dessert]], and the dessert is often associated with the pairing as well.

** Ookurikara and Mitsutada are also a popular pairing because they were both owned by Date Masamune, and for their [[{{Tsundere}} contrasting]] [[TeamMom personalities.]] There is also a lot of potential angst between the two of them because Mitsutada was destroyed, and now may not remember Ookurikara.
