Added DiffLines:

* PoliceAreUseless: Given that the closest thing that most places get to having police is gangs that have transitioned from overt banditry to running protection rackets, it's not surprising that when they do appear, they are generally worse than useless and the local populace invariably needs Kenshiro to protect them from the cops.

Added DiffLines:

* MonochromaticImpactShot: Because the manga revolves around martial arts that cause opponents to die in extremely graphic ways (usually by exploding into LudicrousGibs), the 1984 anime adaptation relied heavily on this trope in order to make the content more suitable for daytime television. Consequently, many deaths in the show feature characters suddenly shifting to monochrome palettes or becoming silhouettes as the background changes to a solid red or white.

** Kenshiro himself reflects upon the influence his friends and rivals had upon him and his fists at the end of the anime series and climax of KensRage 2. Ken declares that as long as he has his friends, he'll never be alone and will continue to fight.

* OffModel: Well, off-size chart. Neither the manga nor the anime can firmly decide whether to make Raoh the size of Andre the Giant or King Kong.

* NamesTheSame: Quite a few in-universe examples:
** [[KungFuJesus Toki]] and [[BattleAura Tōki]], although the latter has a long vowel and is alternatively pronounced "aura" in some panels.
** Ryūken could refer to the Hokuto Shinken master who trained the four Hokuto Brothers or the Hokuto branch named after a shining stone.
** The name Zaku was used twice for two different minor villains: one of them a servant of Ken-oh and the other is a member of the Tentei army who is killed by Kenshiro off-screen.
** Ryū is the name of either, Raoh's posthumous son or Kaioh's pet dog.

Added DiffLines:

* LegFocus: The costumes and 'camera' angles in the manga place an unusual emphasis on attractive female characters' legs - [[GenericCuteness which is to say, all the female characters]].

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


* KillEmAll: The manga was a long-running series with a massive and diverse cast of characters... but if they aren't named Kenshiro, Lin, or Bat, don't expect them to stick around for long. Story arcs where ''everyone'' but our protagonist ends up dead in a heap are extremely common.
