* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The Amazon subtitles use some oddly outdated romanizations for Japanese names, mostly for the trains. What they call "Kotetsujyou" would be more commonly spelled as "Koutetsujou" or "Kōtetsujō" today. Another example is the name "Hodsumi" which is technically not wrong, but you would be far more likely to find the more contemporary romanization of "Hozumi".

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They follow [[PlagueZombie traditional infection rules]] and have the uncommon SuperStrength, but also have VolcanicVeins and are particularly agile. Also they can apparently can only be killed by destroying their iron-sheathed heart or decapitation but the latter method is exceptionally difficult. They also show signs of being more intelligent than your average zombie as they can wield weapons, [[spoiler:operate the Fusoujou and ram it into Aragane]], and as well as use sneak attacks. They also crave blood, pushing them closer to Vampires. Some scenes have them operating machinery. In other scenes, they can employ actual fighting skills. Essentially, the weakest members in their rank are more than a match for even a moderately armed human.

*** And, as of the movie, she is training in [[{{UsefulNotes/Kenjutsu}} kenjutsu]] under Kurusu's tutelage.

** It's also not the first time he voiced a character from a [[Manga/AttackOnTitan series]] about humanity being ravaged by hordes of man-eating monsters [[spoiler:(that were once human)]] where the protagonist gets partially turned into one of them and gains their power but still retain his humanity. He even [[spoiler:sacrifices himself to save his best friend, except here he doesn't make it out alive...]]

* EmergencyTransformation: After Ikoma is bitten during the fall of Aragane Station, he tries to prevent his transformation into a Kabana by restricting the bloodflow carrying the virus to his brain. It works... sort of. PlayedWith in that his goal is to remain fully human, and doesn't even realize until later that he's become a Kabaneri.

* GameChanger: The people of Hinomoto have been steadily losing ground against the Kabane, until several things happen. First are the Kabaneri who can overpower the Kabane, then with enough dead Kabane - swords and bullets can be made with from Kabane hearts so that they'll pierce the heart cage and then there's the emergence of the hunters who have researchers and bleeding-edge equipment, such as motorcycles and mortars. This allows the people to turn the tide on the Kabane.

* ForceAndFinesse: Ikoma and Mumei. The former uses an effectively-melee weapon, and charges the enemy head-on, tanking any damage he takes along the way. The latter is much more evasive and tactical, with precisely-aimed attacks of her ranged weapons.

* PintsizedPowerhouse: Mumei in a nutshell. Short and slender, but her superhuman Kabaneri abilities and her extensive battle training make her by far the most capable individual fighter among the protagonists.
** CombatParkour: She uses this to take on large numbers of Kabane single-handedly in the relatively dense environs of the Stations.
** CuteBruiser: People have a tendency to underestimate her, given her youth and apparent immaturity. They learn their lesson painfully and in short order.
** SheFu / WaifFu: Her fighting style is highly acrobatic, and focused primarily on moving quickly and evading attacks, relying on the power of her weapons to actually kill Kabane.
