* MagnificentBastard: [[BloodKnight Kyuzo]] is the former bodyguard of Ayamaro who located Kanbei and his party alone and fought Kanbei in a duel, with Kanbei being impressed by Kyuzo's cunning and skill to where he even admits defeat. Despite this, Kanbei makes it clear he has no intention of dying just yet and states that they can fight to the death at a later time. Rather than kill Kanbei right there, Kyuzo chooses to accept Kanbei's request for a future rematch [[WorthyOpponent on account of having enjoyed the fight himself]]. Wanting to ensure [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou he is the one who kills Kanbei]], he eventually joins the party as the [[TokenEvilTeammate sixth samurai]] where he frequently goes on scouting missions to [[OneManArmy deal with any potential threats]]. [[spoiler:Even after he is accidentally killed by Katsushiro, he holds no contempt toward his fellow samurai for the accident and instead just has a mutual promise with Kanbei that they would finish their fight in the afterlife.]]

** ** TheEmperor, [[EvilOverlord Lord Amenushi]], won the Great War and now maintains an iron-fisted rule by unleashing the mighty Nobuseri to pillage the villages. Leaving them impoverished to steal for the wealthy Capital, any who resist are brutally wiped out. To create his narcissistic idea of the perfect heir, the Amenushi has countless women impregnated with his clones and rigorously tests the children to ensure they could prove a worthy successor, with [[OffingTheOffspring dozens of graves]] marking those he deemed failures.

** [[AgentPeacock Ukyo]] was adopted from a humble farming village to become the [[SpoiledBrat spoiled son]] of a wealthy merchant. A [[TheChessmaster devious schemer]] under his foppish demeanor, Ukyo kills an imperial envoy to blame the samurai and later learns the Nobuseri are being dispatched by the Emperor in the Capital. Journeying to the Capital, Ukyo is revealed as the Emperor's 49th clone and, during his succession test, [[{{Patricide}} murders his father]] to claim his title. Secretly ordering the Nobuseri to continue raiding villages while stationing samurai to defend them, Ukyo intends to let countless lives be lost while the Nobuseri are destroyed to boost his popularity. Also having [[StalkerWithACrush grown obsessed]] with Kanna Village's water priestess Kirara Mikumari, Ukyo attempts to destroy Kanna while claiming Kirara for himself and shrugs off the deaths of his soldiers and harem in the battle, caring for nothing but his own egotistical whims.
