YMMV / Tail of the Moon

• He's Just Hiding: Fans think this of Hanzo after he disappears after the raid on Iga. It turns out, they were right.
• Hollywood Homely: In-universe example. Yuri frequently says that Usagi has no sex appeal or beauty, yet quite a few men fall for her.
• Hollywood Pudgy: After her return from Lord Ieyasu, Usagi is constantly teased that she's become fat. However, she really does look the same except for in a couple of panels, where she is intentionally drawn that way.
• Moral Event Horizon: Ranmaru purposely ruins the feast Mitsuhide was to prepare for Nobunaga for no real reason.
• Nightmare Fuel: The massacre of Iga, and believable due to the real-life horrors of war. The constant Dies Wide Open deaths don't help, either.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Although the raid on Iga is sad enough, Kame's death takes the cake.
  • Mamezo getting outright REJECTED by his own mother!
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: After Yuki has an Important Haircut before leaving for the West, he promises to come back as "a man who can tell [Usagi] his feelings." When he does, not only has he regrown his hair so he looks exactly the same, but he acts the exact same way to Usagi.
