Ambiguous Syntax: The show's title doesn't make it readily apparent if the titular characters are Wus who work as assassins, or people who kill Wus. The show clarifies that the Assassins' mission is to kill beings known as "Wu Warlords".

Action Girl: The show has loads of them. Inspector C.G. Gavin is a formidable hand-to-hand fighter. Jenny Wah is a restaurateur who moonlights as underground fighter. Zan, Uncle Six's bodyguard, kicks some serious ass when the situation calls for it.
