YMMV / Legend of the Eight Samurai

• Moral Event Horizon: The village raid, which ends in the deaths of two children, is this for Tamazusa and her troops; though Genpachi had just discovered that he was one of the eight dog warriors foretold to protect Princess Shizu, that his subsequent defection from Tamazusa's side could be remotely considered coincidental is wholly unbelievable considering the scale of the massacre, and even he personally feels some bloodguilt for his involvement.
