* FranchiseOriginalSin: A common criticism of this crossover is that the Film/OneArmedSwordsman's presence breaks SuspensionOfDisbelief as his SuperStrength and {{Flight}} clashes with the realistic {{jidaigeki}} setting of ''Franchise/{{Zatoichi}}''. This is because Kang originates from {{wuxia}} setting where every martial-artist has the same abilities, so the crossover's accurate depiction of Kang's powers would naturally alienate viewers used to the more grounded fights in ''Zatoichi''. On that note, Ichi himself isn't exactly a realistic depiction of a BlindWeaponmaster as he regularly performs superhuman feats comparable to Kang's, such as chopping down a tree in one slice in the previous movie ''Film/ZatoichiGoesToTheFireFestival'' or slaughtering militias of trained samurai without breaking a sweat.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/JimmyWangYu would fight another BlindWeaponmaster in ''Film/MasterOfTheFlyingGuillotine'', this time as the Film/OneArmedBoxer.
