This miniseries provides examples of:

• And the Adventure Continues: The series ends with Heaven bumping into Sato and a bunch of ninja, ready to take them out.

• Feed the Mole: Heaven gives a fake location of where to take the artifacts so that Karen will relay the wrong location.

• In the Back: Karen throws a knife at Jake right after he finds out that she's The Mole.
• Interchangeable Asian Cultures: You'd think something with Samurai in the title would be heavy in Japanese people. Instead, it's just heavy in Asians in general.invoked
• Interrupted Suicide: Sato ordered Noriyuki to kill himself, but Heaven and Jake thankfully arrive just in time.

• Love Dodecahedron: Heaven is engaged to Teddy who actually liked her, but Heaven has a crush on Jake. Then Heaven meets Otto who has a major crush on her, but so does Jake. Then Jake's (ex-)fiance, Karen arrives back in town with much approval from Otto.
• Meaningful Name: She's called Heaven because it seemed as if she fell from the sky as the sole survivor of a plane crash.

• Naked First Impression: When Heaven and Otto "officially" meet, Otto is not wearing pants.
• Not the Fall That Kills You…: Heaven is forced to cut Jake's rope while rock climbing and he falls to his supposed death.

• Precision F-Strike: In the first episode no less!
  Heaven: "Shh. Keep your voice down. Can you help me get outta here?"
  Woman: "She's in here!"
  Heaven: "Bitch!"
• Race Lift: Jake was Asian in the books.

• Runaway Bride: Heaven. Although, it's not like she had much of a choice.
• Samurai in Ninja Town: Ninja are frequently used as the antagonists.

• Weddings in Japan: Inverted. Heaven has an Eastern-style wedding, but travels to California to have it.

• You Killed My Brother: Heaven watches her brother get stabbed, which is her motivation to train to be a Samurai.
