Line 23:
*** Ken is here to kick ass and drink sake, and god help you if he runs out of sake.
* [[Anachronism Stew]] - The characters sometimes talk about Canada, hot dogs, and other things that don't exist yet. [[Rule of Funny|The reason is obvious.]]
** Not to mention Lex and Matrix, who look a little...out of place amongst all the feudal trappings.
** Also lampshaded: [http://noneedforbushido.com/2002/comic/115/ "Note: Thursday night bingo canceled due to overuse of anachronisms"]
* [[Animesque]] - The later chapters.
Line 34:
* [[Bishounen]] - In the later chapters, Ken and Yori get this treatment, thanks to the aforementioned Art Evolution
* [[Blood From the Mouth]] - A few times.
* [[Bound and Gagged]] - Ina ends up like this in at least one set of comics.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] - addressing readers and some other things.
* [[Brick Joke]] - [http://noneedforbushido.com/2002/comic/111/ "Ninja lifts] [http://noneedforbushido.com/2007/comic/305/ Mount Fuji"]
Line 64:
* [[Four Is Death]] - the Four Demons of Sorrow, Hirotomo Wataro's elite soldiers.
* [[Four-Star Badass]] - Nataku, whose such a [[Badass]] that... you know that [[BFS|enormous thing]] Ken swings around? Nataku clashes with it head-on with his fairly normal sword, and from that position '''''[http://noneedforbushido.com/2011/comic/459/ overpowers Ken causing his BFS fly out of his hands]'''''.
* [[Genre Savvy]] - Yori. Right from the outset he seems to instinctively know he's in an [[Affectionate Parody]] of shonen manga, but it's highlighted very much during Ina's planned defense of the strategic choke point, where he demonstrates genuine fear at Ina's ability to destroy an army. By this point, he's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to fear that running in terror like he should will shift her from a [[Tsundere]] to a [[Yandere (disambiguation)]].
* [[Handicapped Badass]] - Cho is an extremely skilled martial artist, able to defeat (most) of his adversaries without breaking a sweat. Badass enough on its own; ''more'' badass when you consider his handicap.
{{quote|'''Ken:''' Wait a sec, so you're, like, as blind as a...uh...blind...guy.
Line 87:
* [[Master of Illusion]] - Uso
* [[Meaningful Name]] - "Shounen" is boy in Japanese, which he is. Also, Uso's name means lie, and he uses illusions.
** It doesn't matter how much he insists, Murasaki's name means purple, not indigo.
** General Nataku's warmongering might have been an inevitable reaction to him being named after the japanese god of war.
* [[Moment Killer]] - Cho is right on time to kill [http://noneedforbushido.com/2009/comic/379/ this] moment.
* [[Mook|Mooks]] - ninjas.
Line 109:
* [[Shout-Out]] - Ken and Yori's fight on first meeting is either this or an [[Affectionate Parody]] of [[Rurouni Kenshin|Kenshin and Sanosuke's]] first fight.
** The title itself is a very well-hidden shoutout to ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'', the title of which is often translated as "No Need for Tenchi".
** Ninjas are said to use swordchucks. [[8-Bit Theater
** Tao [[Star Wars|binds the galaxy together]].
** Yori's first rescue of Ina -- running away from trouble while carrying her -- echoes a ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' side-story that was a sort of pilot for the series.
Line 135:
** Lampshaded by "insert your sound effect here".
* [[The Worf Barrage]]: Ken's [[BFS|ludicrously big sword]] rarely hits anyone important. Not only that, but the taoist monks and Nataku managed to block it outright. Nataku later ups the ante from that, and just overpowers Ken while clashing with his BFS head-on.
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] - Yori fears Ina is moving this way. Or maybe she's just a fantastic strategist?
