For the most part, [=NetEase=] [[ShownTheirWork has shown a lot of their work]] in the mythology department, but the historical accuracy department is a bit off. The game is supposedly set in the Heian period, but many aspects of Japanese culture in the game didn't appear until the later UsefulNotes/SengokuPeriod, Edo period or straight-up ''modern times'' due to the spread of Western culture and values.

* Energy tokens used to enter battlefields are represented as salmon roe ''gunkan maki'' sushi. Ignoring how the very ''name'' of the dish (which translates to "battleship rolls") makes it sound out-of-place, the actual history of the dish is that it was invented in ''1941'' in a restaurant called ''Kyubey'' in the Ginza, Tokyo.

Though ''wagasa'' did exist in the latter half of the Heian period, it was ''not'' a parasol – it was instead a ''hat'' with a wide brim and veil-like cloth, which oddly ''is'' included in the game as Ubume's Awakened headwear.

* The game has had crossover events with series that clearly don't take place in its era, namely ''Manga/NuraRiseOfTheYokaiClan'', ''Manga/HoozukiNoReitetsu'' and ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' (modern time) and ''Manga/InuYasha'' (Sengoku period). While at least ''Hoozuki'' is excusable by virtue of all three (technically four) characters being thousand-year-old ''oni'' who existed during the Heian era, one has to wonder whether TimeTravel was involved in the other cases.

* Played completely straight with the seasonal events and their associated artworks, most notably Christmas and Thanksgiving, considering how these were only known to Japanese people since the late ''19th century'', a good 700 years into the future as of the Heian period. Also, since Thanksgiving is not celebrated anywhere outside of the American continent, it doubles as a weird case of WeAllLiveInAmerica.
