It focuses on the encounters and experiences of one of Itto's opponents (Yamada Asaemon), the Shogun's sword-tester and executioner.The series follows the progress of Asaemon's career as the Shogun's O-Tameshi and an official executioner. There are several important arcs throughout the series, interspersed with vignettes focusing on individual executions that Asaemon carries out. The series also follows the development of Sakane Kasajiro, the Edo-era equivalent of a beat cop who greatly respects Asaemon and views him as a mentor figure. | |

Underestimating Badassery | |
| Samurai Executioner (Manga) / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: Asaemon's opponents occasionally underestimate him, assuming that, as an executioner, his skills are of little to no use in real combat, considering he practices almost exclusively against victims who are restrained or corpses. They are sorely mistaken. | |

Soft Water: Subverted, and not in the usual way: a rapist's father agrees to let Asaemon take away his son in exchange for testing the family's sword collection (more than 300 of them). As they only know of testing blades on bodies, they expect him to give up... only for him to start hitting the river with the swords, shattering them. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Samurai Executioner (Manga) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: To the underclasses of Edo Japan, life sucks. The series takes great pains to demonstrate that, even for actual samurai, life isn’t always a bed of roses. Several arcs throughout the series revolve around how the Edo Period’s class system can be almost as bad for those at the top as it is for the ones at the bottom. Samurai may have certain rights and authority that peasants don’t, but they are faced with fierce competition for government positions and the stipends that come with them. The fact that the class system of the Edo Period prevents them from taking any form of menial labor to get by just makes the situation worse. As a result, despite being amongst the upper classes, many samurai live in poverty equivalent to that of peasants, on the verge of starvation, and are even exploited by the merchants. | |

Woman Scorned: O-Toyo, who responded to being abandoned by her lover for another woman by stabbing said other woman to death, followed by her mortally wounding her cheating lover. However, as the wound was not instantly fatal, she faces the likelihood of being executed before he can expire. She gets herself pregnant - in a women's prison, no less - in order for her execution to be delayed so that she can outlive him, all out of spite. | |

Alternate Personality Punishment: One of the criminals Asaemon has to execute is a woman whose Split Personality is a pyromaniac, but is completely unaware of what she does when in her trances. As Asaemon is against killing people who don't know why they're being killed, he arranges for fireworks to go off during the execution, causing the woman's other personality to take over, letting Asaemon execute the guilty personality with the innocent one (instead of just the innocent). | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: What was acceptable to the authorities in Edo Japan included: Allowing prisoners to be killed in prison by other inmates, so that they save on the expenses incurred during executions.

Indeed, his lot is quite a bit better than a few actual samurai vassals that he meets, most notably master swordsman Tsukuba Bakushu, who wants Asaemon's post. | |

Action Girl: Shinko the Kappa starts out as a criminal successfully stealing jitte and swords from officers in an attempt to get the government to revoke her father's execution, though she ultimately fails. Even after she ultimately ends up Happily Married with Kasajiro, she's still a force to be reckoned with, to the point she actually joins him on the police. | |

Torture Technician: Toothless Yoshichi has an odd method: by alternating pain and relief (such as making them walk on snow then thawing their feet), he soon gets the perpetrator to talk, without leaving lasting harm. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Samurai Executioner (Manga) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Asaemon, at least in so far as his position will allow. Asaemon's compassion for the condemned is a major fixture of the series and he will go to great lengths to fulfill their last requests, at one point going so far as to spend a year nurturing and growing a chrysanthemum at the request of one of the people he executed in order to understand the mindset that led the man to commit his crime. | |

Dirty Cop | |
| Samurai Executioner (Manga) / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: Many in the Edo police are this, more or less openly taking bribes from criminals and the rich and powerful. If need be, random people will be framed for crimes. In general, the police force as an institution is more concerned with preserving the social order and hierarchy than in pursuing justice. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
| Samurai Executioner (Manga) / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: Half-averted. Asaemon is an executioner. However, he isn't a samurai. He does however, *execute* Samurai from time to time. | |
