*FictionalizedDeathAccount: The real Musashibou Benkei would [[spoiler: meet his end in a similar matter to this one, that being riddled by arrows, but even then the accounts of his death are still different. The historical Benkei [[HoldTheLine held the line against hundreds of trained soldiers on a bridge]] to prevent them from reaching his master, Yoshitsune, until the enemy army decided to just shoot him from afar. After being riddled with arrows, Benkei DiedStandingUp and the enemy didn't even realize they had gotten him until they cautiously approached his corpse.

* DoubleUnlock: Accessing his duel first requires William to have met the young [[UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi Takezo]] in Sekigahara, which will require players to have completed the Dual Sword mastery Dojo Mission.



* SignatureMove: As always, his mythical ''Tsubame Gaeshi'' (Swallow Reversal), demonstrated with his ability to use Sword's Swallow Wing II with a much larger Odachi, and a faster, reversed version of Odachi's Moonlit Snow. Both of these moves would eventually become usable by players in the sequel.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Compared to TheStoic ''shikigami'' that Hide and William meet, Seimei is immediately shown to be a skilled trickster, dispatching a berserk Mezuki and Gozuki with his shikigami in one fell swoop, then dismissing it, fooling both Hide and Yorimitsu for a moment like a casual parlor trick, all while blithely poking at her. She is not amused.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: A Sub Mission has "Raikou" asking Hide to help find her comrade Watanabe no Tsuna, but has a much more sinister portrait, no name labeled under it, and talking in an uncharacteristically haughty manner. These are all major clues that the "Raikou" you can choose to accompany in that mission is a Yokai in disguise.

One of Japan's prominent mythical demon slayers and ancestor of Yoshitsune, slaying demons along with the four guardians Sakata Kintoki, Urabe Suetake, Usui Sadamitsu and Watanabe Tsuna. Also bearing the name 'Raikou', [[HistoricalGenderFlip she's a female in this verse.]]

* IAmNotLeftHanded: An example that's informed strictly through gameplay. When she starts the fight with the Sohayamaru, many of her basic attacks are animations reused from Tachibana Muneshige, which are also parriable, save for her two skills... Once she pulls her personal Yasutsuna katana, she becomes an IaijutsuPractitioner, gaining a completely unique moveset (save for Sword's Night Rain skill, which she uses an improved version of) and can now effortlessly deflect Hide's attacks from a sheathed stance, becoming much more difficult to throw off-guard. Her two grabs are also restricted to her Yasutsuna as well. She demonstrates a clear preference between her two main weapons, but zigzags the trope by ultimately switching back to the Sohayamaru to activate Living Weapon for the last stretch of her fight.

After Hide deals with him, she quickly realizes that Tokichiro is not the traitorous warlord she hoped he would be, foiling her plot before it can even begin.]]



* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She cannot figure out why William is so attached enough to a foreign land. Evidently the idea that he might genuinely care about his Japanese allies is an alien concept to her.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: [[spoiler: A yokai in this case.]]
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Benkei initially attacks Hide after seeing their future Sohayamaru and mistakenly believing they stole Yoshitsune's own. After being defeated and realizing he was wrong, he joins Hide as an ally, as they remind him of his master.



* UndyingLoyalty: To Yoshitsune.



* ActuallyADoombot: The Seimei that teaches the protagonist onmyōo magic is actually an avatar the original Seimei left behind to watch over Japan in his absence.

* SweetTooth: The mission to fight her can only be unlocked after collecting three grilled tang sweets from three different missions. She attacks the protagonist so she can get her hands on them.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: One of her two grapple moves is her descendant's famous air powerbomb. While it can be burst countered, the window of time to so is extremely short.
