Overdrawn at the Blood Bank | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_3346eb29 | comment |
Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: There's a lot of blood in this series. In the first episode alone, every time a body part is severed, the nearby surroundings are dowsed in red. This contrasts with the ninja clan's ability to somehow make the corpses of their fallen vanish, as when Mike recovers Emma from the hospital rooftop, there's not a body to be seen, despite the entire space being painted with red from Joe's rampage. | |

Multi-Armed and Dangerous | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_399e69da | comment |
Multiarmed And Dangerous: After having his conversation with FBI agent Mike Moriss interrupted by what appears to be a single assassin disguised as a delivery boy. During the high-pitched fight, it seems like the assassin somehow grows two extra pairs of arms to increase his attack on Joe, but after Joe knocks him into a wall, it's revealed that there was an identically-dressed assassin hiding inside the former's delivery backpack. To deal with the twin assault, Joe summons two pairs of shadow arms out of his back to genuinely multi-wield. | |

No Body Left Behind | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_3c7ccb69 | comment |
No Body Left Behind: The news reports of the decapitated fallen ninja who similarly left the clan mention only their bodies left at the scene, despite the one from the beginning being able to kill several of his attackers. When the clan attacks Joe's house, he and his wife kill several of them, but the police only find Joe and his family's bodies left at the scene afterwards. During the hospital attack, despite Mike witnessing several bodies from being nearby Joe's rampage, when he heads to the roof to rescue fellow FBI agent Emma Samanda, there's not a corpse to be seen, despite the surroundings being covered in red. It helps with the official cover-up in the aftermath, as there's no physical evidence of the amount of bodies Joe cut through and the man himself vanished. | |

Disney Death | |

Disney Death: Joe was seemingly killed and ends up at the morgue but wakes up there. His wife and kid weren't so lucky though. Aska/Emma looks on the verge of death and bleeding at Lil's hands on Episode 6, but then the next episode, she shows up looking completely fine before Joe fights Lil in the Kamui. She had even activated a recording within the Kamui in case she was dying. | |

McNinja | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_84dbc10f | comment |
McNinja: Played for drama, and actually underpins the story's conflict. The ninja clan faced a schism following a change in leadership, with Big Bad Yamaji choosing to invite foreigners and sell the clan's services internationally, rather than follow the tradition of being Japan's protectors. By the present, the clan is nothing more than a ninja-themed international syndicate, which is hunting down defectors who have chosen to go into hiding and follow the clan's original creeds. | |

Code of Honour | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_8bbcd5ce | comment |
Code of Honour: The ninja clan is incredibly strict on its ways that it drills into its members to keep their secrets tight at all costs or else they may get exposed to the world. Their code is so strict that they heavily discourage its members from seeing each other as allies or more, which is what Joe ended up breaking when he fell for Mari and they deserted the clan to start a family. | |

No One Could Survive That! | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_8c96ae78 | comment |
No One Could Survive That!: The nurse who notices that Joe woke up in the hospital is genuinely shocked that he's still alive after being stabbed through the heart. Emma and Mike wonder if he's even still human. The Back-Alley Doctor who patches him up in Episode 2, who seems to have knowledge of Joe's past and various ninja skills, is similarly stumped when he sees the injury, confirming that he really should have died from it no matter what technique he used. Even Joe candidly admit he's got no idea why he's still alive and the Sole Survivor of his family. By all accounts, Joe seems to have genuinely come Back from the Dead. | |

Megaton Punch | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_b252f072 | comment |
Megaton Punch: In episode 2, a frustrated Joe, angered that he cannot find any leads on the ninja clans' current whereabouts, stops at a highway bar for some drinks. When two Dirty Cops come in to harass the owner for "protection money", one of them decides to pick on Joe as well, noting a stream of recent motorcycle thefts and suspecting his bike of being one. When Joe easily dispatches him and makes to leave, his partner tries to hit Joe with a baton from behind, only for Joe to dodge and, in slow motion, unleash a missed punch that nonetheless moves and hits so hard that the wind pressure knocks the guy off his feet and slams him into the wall. Actually connecting would have turned his head into chunky salsa. | |

Upgrade vs. Prototype Fight | |
| Ninja Kamui / int_bc0346e2 | comment |
Upgrade vs. Prototype Fight: This appears to be an element with Joe's conflict with the ninja clan. The ones who attack him are a high-tech faceless mooks clad in body armor with with cutting-edge weapons, especially their leader who wield a collapsable BFS. In contrast to them, Joe has practically no technology, but seems to know mystical ninja skills, being able to "breathe" some sort of smokey black substance that forms into humanoid figures, which can distract the opponent, lower visibility, or even "merge" with Joe to physically hold weapons alongside his own two arms. After Episode 6, though, Joe is given the Kamui body armor to stand a fighting chance against the top brass. | |

To the Pain: Following the hospital fight, Joe manages to capture the leader of the ninja strike force who personally killed his wife and son in front of him. He suspends him from the ceiling and begins stabbing him with blades, to which the leader, through the pain, taunts him, that he should know a ninja will never break under torture. Joe agrees. He then proceeds to spend the next few days he needs to recover from the fight stabbing the leader and taking out his anger on him, before finally finishing him off by dousing him in gasoline and setting him ablaze — but not before promising him that he'll get no mercy or relief on the other side, merely an endless torment at the hands of Oni in hell: | |
