* NightmareFuel: The "spirits" sequences, all the religious chantings sequences mixed with [[spoiler:Lady Aoi's torments and Lady Rokujo's nightmare]].
* {{Squick}}: [[spoiler:Genji's first kiss with his stepmother happens when he was only 12.]]
* ValuesDissonance: The whole lifestyle of the prince would be considered outrageous on actual days, but back then, it was expected as part of a noble's life. Genji, therefore, exaggerates even for that time standards [[spoiler:and some of his enemies try to use this against him]].
