* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His original origin story? In ''Ganbare Goemon 2'', he was a female ninja cursed into the body of an old fat man. At the end of the game, the curse is broken and she and Goemon are implied to have become a couple. This becomes CanonDiscontinuity at the beginning of the next game, though. In the reboot series, though, s/he is once more a girl with a crush on Goemon.

Bishonen is Definition-Only. No examples allowed. Per TRS. Moving In Universe acknowledgements to Pretty Boy.


* {{Bishonen}}: Parodied and very much an InformedAbility. Several characters go on and on about his charming good looks when, while not nearly as ugly as some of the characters, Goemon's pretty average looking. Due to the nature of the series, most of the characters who refer to him as a bishonen are [[CampGay men]], most notably Ebisumaru.
