9	* ActionGirl: Kasumi, [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the sole female of the cast.]]

11	* BadassAdorable: Kasumi, who looks surprisingly cute for a kunoichi.
12	* BloodierAndGorier: Compared to ''Shogun Warrior''.

33	* YourHeadAsplode: Inverted with one of the finishing moves of each character, which leaves an opponent nothing more than a pile of blood and entrails, with their severed head perfectly intact.
