** Also a literal game mechanic with the "Soul of" text, the character with said text being considered the same as the named character for purposes of deckbuilding.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: During the game's tenure at Wizards, the IOC sent legal notice to Wizards that the logo for the game (five interlocking gold rings in a pentagon shape) was a violation of the IOC's treaty-protected copyright of their logo ([[AsYouKnow five interlocking rings of different colors in a "W" shape]]) on the grounds that the treaty claims ''any'' design with five interlocking rings, regardless of orientation or color. Wizards changed the card backs (which prominently featured the logo) to a new design that instead incorporated five independent gold discs. This had the unintended effect of essentially banning any cards produced before the change (for the simple fact that they'd be easy to spot in a hand) unless the player invested in opaque-backed card sleeves.

The game is named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings?wprov=sfsi1 The Book of Five Rings]], a book on strategy and martial arts written by 17th-century ronin UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi. Referred to some as the Japanese answer to Literature/TheArtOfWar.

* FountainOfExpies: In general, the major characters from the first editions, especially the Thunders, get suspiciously close substitutes in many later sets. There's a lot of Bayushi Kachikos slinking around in the Scorpion Clan.
