History WesternAnimation / SamuraiRabbitTheUsagiChronicles

* PuppyLove: Usagi and Chizu

* AnAesop: The most consistent one of the first season is to never accept things at face value. There is always more to both people and stories than what you can gleam from your first impression of them.

* ArtificialLimbs: Auntie has a mechanical leg and a hinged wooden ear.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: The mole, cat and bat ninja clan were feared while they served under lord Hikiji but now they are street thugs (moles) or loan sharks (bats) while the cats are far from their former glory.

* IdenticalGrandson: Unlike ''Space Usagi'', this series almost completely averts the trope. Usagi certainly has a strong family resemblance to his famous ancestor, but they're by no means identical, neither in looks nor in personality. It's never stated whether Gen and Kitsune are also descendants of the original Gen and Kitsune, but they're both pretty unlike their counterparts from the original.

* TheKingslayer: Miyamoto Usagi is accused of killing a shogun which drives Yuichi to try to clear his name. [[spoiler:He really did it, though the shogun was possessed by a yokai at the time.]]

* InexplicablyTailless: The characters themselves. A particular example, Kitsune has a ponytail resembling a fox's tail in lieu of an actual tail. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for Spot, who is the TeamPet and animalistic compared to the rest.

* FemaleGaze: In Episode 5 of Season 1, Chizu checks out on Usagi, without Usagi noticing.

** Chizu's short-lived leadership of the Neko ninjas, and loss of said leadership to the old guard rejecting her reforms, parallels the broad stokes of her arc in the comics.
** This Kitsune also gets an adoptive little sister named Kiyone, only in this series she's a giant biomech instead of another fox.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: This show has both an African Painted Dog and a Sun Bear as major characters.

* HartmanHips: Chizu

* FemaleGaze: In Episode 5 of Season 1, Chizu checks out on Usagi, without Usagi noticing.

** The Neko Ninja Crew determine leadership in unarmed duels. [[spoiler: In S2:E3 Chizu defeats Lady Fuwa but lets her leave, along with a few ninja who remain loyal to her.]]

** Later on he sees a crystal that his ancestor sealed a horde of yokai in, and can't resist touching it.

* AncestralWeapon: Usagi's aunt gives him a sword his great-grandfather made, with a crystal that belonged to Miyamoto Usagi on the hilt.

* ChallengingTheChief: The Neko Ninja Crew determine leadership in unarmed duels. [[spoiler: In S2:E3 Chizu defeats Lady Fuwa but lets her leave, along with a few ninja who remain loyal to her.]]

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:The season finale involves Usagi and friends teaming up with Lord Kagehito to prevent a race of {{Multiversal Conqueror}}s from bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.]]

* RetractableWeapon: Chizu wields a naginata with a collapsing shaft. Chikabuma has a collapsible sword.

''Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles'' is a 2022 Creator/{{Netflix}} AllCGICartoon based on Creator/StanSakai's comic series ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo''. Rather than being an adaptation of the comic, however, it takes place several centuries later and centers around Yuichi Usagi, a distant descendant of the original Miyamoto Usagi, who has grown up hearing tales of his famous samurai ancestor, and dreams of one day becoming a great samurai warrior too.

* DartboardOfHate: Muyamoto Usagi’s face adorns all dartboards in Neo Edo.

* GottaCatchThemAll: Karasu-Tengi tasks Usagi with sealing three urban yokai of Destruction, Distraction, and Deception back in the keystone before she agrees to train him. [[spoiler: After sealing the first two he discovers that the third has reformed and decides not to seal her. Only for her to reveal herself to be Karasu-Tengi in disguise.]]

* {{Tengu}}: Karasu-Tengi has aspects of the tengu, namely being a crow-like yokai master swordswoman, who eventually agrees to train Usagi. Though she has a bit more of a focus on defending nature than usual.

* VerbalBackspace: When Usagi tells Karasu-Tengi that he chose the yo-yo by accident, she says there are no accidents. He says he once got a grape stuck up his nose, and she acknowledges that there are ''some'' accidents.

* YearInsideHourOutside: Usagi spends two seasons on the Sacred Mountain training with Karasu-Tengi, but only about a day passes outside.

* SpotTheImposter: When fighting a Youkai that can shapeshift, Usagi finds Gen outside with a Lookalike. Usagi tries the SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay ploy, only for [[SubvertedTrope Gen to point out they don't know each other long enough for that]], which is [[DoubleSubversion exactly what Usagi was looking for]]. But before Usagi can attack, Gen stops him, saying that the "double" is actually his sister.

* FantasyGunControl: Despite firearms existing in ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo'', not a single gun is present despite taking centuries in its future. [[spoiler:This is only present in this show's dimension however, as the invading warbottos possess {{Arm Cannon}}s.]]
