* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The series's ninja cast seems frankly to be the result of, ''at least'', some wild brainstorming sessions.
* TheWoobie: Azame can't get a break from being sexually abused every time she fights.

YMMV can't be played with.


* ClicheStorm: Quite spiritedly averted in terms of characters, as the episodic ninjas have a very high JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient based in appearance alone, but the plot itself is rather formulaic.

"What an Idiot!" is now Flame Bait.


* WhatAnIdiot: Dakatsu. Not only he offers Rengoku his sting tail in future exchange for the stone (what in the heaven would impede Rengoku from killing him with his own sting instead of carrying out her part?), he also idiotically demands her to perform a surgical procedure on him (what would impede her to kill him in midst of the surgery?) without knowing all of Rengoku's skills. The predictable result is Dakatsu being unceremoniously killed.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The series features a ton of characters, but barely builds any of them.
** Special mention goes to the fact that we rarely see two or three ninjas from the same side together on screen, so we are deprived of the interesting interactions they could have with each other.

* {{Narm}}: Both the Hiruko and Kimon clans hit it hard. Most of their shinobi are so decidedly bizarre and crazy that sometimes it's difficult to take them seriously.
* {{Sequelitis}}: Although the series has its fans, it is widely considered as not up to the standards of the original movie, in a big part due to the deep changes in tone, setting and characters's personality, in another part due to ToughActToFollow. Most of the fans prefer to consider it a separate continuity.
