* NaturalizedName: The trade between the Portuguese and the Japanese has resulted in members of both factions adopting alternate names. For instance, the priest Father Martin Alvito has adopted the name "Tsuji" when dealing with the Japanese, whereas Mariko, one of his students and a convert to Catholicism, adopts the name Maria when dealing with the Portuguese.

The Japanese also give Blackthorne the name "Anjin" (meaning "pilot"), because they find his name hard to pronounce.
* PuppetKing: The Portuguese have a long-term plan to dissolve the Council of Regents and install one of the Christian Regents, likely Kiyama, as the new ruler so that they will have de facto control over Japan. Blackthorne's arrival has thrown a wrench into those plans, though.

* InternalReveal: While in prison, Blackthorne mentions to a priest that he heard of the existence of a secret Portuguese gun-running fortress in Macao, where a small army of Catholic {{Ronin}} are stationed, and which helped support the uprising against the Taiko. In his second audience with Toranaga, he informs him of this, to his shock.

* BatmanGambit:
** Toranaga brings Blackthorne to Osaka, knowing his presence would offend the Catholic lords on the regency council and sow discord between them and Ishido (the de facto head of the council) at at a time when they were otherwise united against him.
** He later swaps quarters with Blackthorne in order to confirm his suspicions that the Christian lords and the Portuguese want to silence the outsider.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In the first episode one of the Dutch sailors is boiled alive. He lasts for ''hours'', pleading and screaming every second of it. A brief shot of him horrifically blistered ''and still alive'' is shortly followed by an obscured shot of him slamming his head into the rim of the giant metal pot he's inside, trying to end his suffering more quickly. The people of the village are also clearly disturbed by this.

* TheGrotesque: Lord Ohno, one of the Christian Regents, converted to Catholicism after the Jesuits helped him survive leprosy. They were not able to protect him from the ravages of the disease, and thus he often hides his face from the other regents.
* HolierThanThou: The Christian Regents believe themselves to be more enlightened than their non-Christian peers.



* SkewedPriorities: Ishido's attempts to put Toranaga to death are stymied by the arrival of Blackthorne, a Protestant, because the Catholic regents, Ohno and Kiyama, demand that Blackthorne be executed for heresy before they agree to vote on Toranaga's fate, and Ishido is hesitant to execute Blackthorne before finding out if he has any useful knowledge of Europe.

!!This miniseries contains examples of:

* ExcrementStatement: In the pilot, Blackthorne is urinated upon by a local lord.
* NaturalizedName: The trade between the Portuguese and the Japanese has resulted in members of both factions adopting alternate names. For instance, the priest Father Martin Alvito has adopted the name "Tsuji" when dealing with the Japanese, whereas Mariko, one of his students and a convert to Catholicism, adopts the name Maria when dealing with the Portuguese.
* SkewedPriorities: Ishido's attempts to put Toranaga to death are stymied by the arrival of Blackthorne, a Protestant, because the Catholic regents, Ohno and Kiyama, demand that Blackthorne be executed for heresy before they agree to vote on Toranaga's fate, and Ishido is hesitant to execute Blackthorne before finding out if he has any useful knowledge of Europe.
