11!! ''Cosmo Samurai'' has the following tropes:
12* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Akutou shoots Awaji from beyond the grave, seemingly killing him. But it's revealed afterwards that the one who actually got shot was his shadow clone.]]
13* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Akutou is actually a servant of a mysterious hooded man who refers to himself as "The Boss", the true mastermind.]]
14* SequelHook: [[spoiler:The final episode ends with the true mastermind of the attacks revealing himself, with TOM promising to take him down.]]
15* ShoutOut: The main villain is named Akutou who wields shadow powers and dealing with samurai. Yeah, [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack not even being subtle with this one.]]
