The Hagakure/YMMV
- Complete Monster: In one story, a grandmother and her grandson are murdered in cold blood by a thug named Goroemon. Why? The child had accidentally stepped on his foot. The child's uncles, one of them a monk named Denko, grab swords and seek vengeance. The father does nothing.
- Ho Yay: Love between men is "the purest love."
- Values Dissonance: The author is not kind to women.
