  • Beam Me Up, Scotty!: The aide-de-camp's memetically-famous declaration of "Shameful display!" is frequently written out as a Japanese Ranguage-affected version "Shamefur dispray!" In reality, the enunciation of the Ls in the phrase are perfectly coherent though the statement remains clearly accented.
  • Meme Acknowledgement: The voice actor for Total War: Shogun 2's aide-de-camp, Dai Tabuchi, probably knows how popular the "Our men are running from the battlefield! Shameful display!" voice line is since he has a voice demo just consisting of the line. None of his other voice demos are so pithy as to just be five seconds long.
  • Togo Igawa, the actor who does the voice-overs for much of the cutscene narration, diplomacy lines, and trailers, also plays General Hasegawa in The Last Samurai. Given that his voice work is present throughout the original campaign and its expansions, including the Fall of the Samurai campaign, this means Togo Igawa has a presence in two forms of media that both relate to the end of the Shogunate and the Meiji Restoration (including events such as the Boshin War and the Satsuma Rebellion).
    • Igawa was also the narrator for the original Shogun: Total War, linking the sequel back to its predecessor, the very first game in the franchise.
