Ikki Tousen/YMMV
- Complete Monster: Toutaku. Sadist, rapist, backstabber, murderer... the list goes on and on.
- Also the Alpha Bitch and her Girl Posse from Ten'i's backstory, who gangrape her as a part of their bullying.
- Creator's Pet: Ryofu, who doubles as an Ensemble Darkhorse. She was so popular she was brought back from the dead.
- Fan Disservice: Koushaji's fight. 'Nuff said.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Kan'u is pretty popular... hell, sometimes all of the Seitou (Shu) characters (Kanu, Ryuubi, Chouhi, Koumei...) are considered more popular than the Nanyou (Wu) characters.
- Erection Rejection: Believe it or not, the plot and characters are appealing enough for some fans to become annoyed at the Fan Service distracting them. Even when Word of God states the series was created mostly for fun.
- Les Yay: Everywhere, and quite a bit of it centered on Ryoufu and Kan'u.
- Magnificent Bastard: Saji
- Moral Event Horizon: Kaku passes it when she has Chinkyuu brutally raped and then beaten to death, as "punishment" for meddling in the power struggles in Rakuyou.
- Moe Moe: Koumei. Aww, Can I take her home with me?
- Nightmare Fuel: Whenever a character with a Dragon gets their body taken over. Specially when said character is either Sousou or Ryuubi.
- Kaku's horrifying Wounded Gazelle Gambit in the manga. Read about it and get ready to be squicked outta your mind.
- Narm Charm - The Tokyopop translation may be a huge Macekre but damn if it's not funny sometimes.
- So Bad It's Good
- Too Cool to Live: Ryoufu
- The Woobie: Poor, poor Chinkyuu
