* ExactWords: In the last section of the film, [[spoiler: Jiro and his companions use Captain Kidd's treasure to fund a war against Tenkai, and start by traveling to Iga to hire ninja mercenaries. The leader of the Iga Hattori clan makes an offer of eight ninja at 5,000 ryo each, for a total of ''80,000'' ryo. Jiro immediately wonders about the math, but the Iga leader explains "That's the calculation to use against Tenkai." Jiro agrees, and takes the ninja to retrieve the money -- but by the time they've returned to Iga, they've been [[KillAndReplace replaced]] by the men of Tenkai's [[TheDragon Dragon]] Hanzou. The Iga leader declares that he's fulfilled his contract with Hanzou to trap Jiro -- but then tells Jiro that since he'd paid enough for 16 Iga ninja, he would ''now'' deliver the other 8.
