* The kanji are used in ''{{Tenchu}} 3'': The Wrath of Heaven/ Return from Darkness (same game, different consoles). Each stealth kill you get lights up from one half to one and a half kanjis, depending on the kill methoid and the target (dogs are only worth half, frontal stealth kills get you one and a half). If all are lit up, you learn a new move but you need to beat the level in question to be able to keep it.
* They're also used in the XBOX port of ''NinjaGaiden'' -- Each of Life of the Gods you get lights one up. Get nine, and get an increase on your Health Bar.

They later tried to fix it by replacing it again with simply "Evil Spirit Begone!"
