* PowersThatBe: Zishin, introduced in ''Slashers'' appears to be this and is connected to the Dual Blades in some way. From Alperen's bio "Zishin is an intelligent and mysterious being whose exact motivations are unknown."

* PartsUnknown: Zigzagged across the roster. While some characters have specific origins in either the Ottoman Empire (Efe and Alperen), Japan (the Ozawa sisters), and the Kazakh Khanate (Nagasapa), some are never given a specific origin. Those latter are Shin (somewhere in eastern Asia), Duke Andre (somewhere in Europe), Rungard ("Middle Europe"), and Brandon O'Brien (never revealed). Then there is one, Jaman, who is among a race of beings known as Bloodkin.

* ActionGirl: Two of the fighters on the roster are females, those being Kanae Ozawa and Nagasapa. Slashers added a third with the [[{{Ninja}} kunoichi]] Mirei Ozawa.

* FinalBoss: Alperen serves as the final opponent in both Dual Blades and Slashers.
