| Kabuki Z (Video Game) | comment |
Kabuki Z is a 1988 side-scrolling arcade game made by Kaneko and published by Taito. It's also one of the few Taito games at the time which is NOT a sci-fi themed space shooter, but a Hack and Slash-style actioner.Using a setting and gameplay format inspired by Genpei Tōma Den, you're a heroic, katana-wielding samurai in a version of Feudal Japan overrun with the undead. And you will fight your way through skeletons, cutists, and assorted demons before confronting the dreaded Ashura. | |

Bloodier and Gorier | |
| Kabuki Z (Video Game) / int_1f963842 | comment |
Bloodier and Gorier: The game have a noticeably higher amount of gorn when it comes to onscreen kills (compared to Genpei Tōma Den or similar titles), with enemies exploding into puddles of blood even though they're hacked by a sword. And then there are the bosses, who lose their heads, get their flesh ripped off leading behind a skeleton in a blood puddle, or for Ashura, literally turning into a pool of red sauce. | |

Trivial Title | |
| Kabuki Z (Video Game) / int_2b80abf4 | comment |
Trivial Title: The game has almost zilch to do with Kabuki Theatre, despite the name, with most of it being a rather standard side-scrolling arcade game where you simply hack up mooks in a Feudal Japanese setting. The first boss is dressed like a Kabuki dancer, but he's defeated rather easily and doesn't have any impact on the rest of the game. | |

| Kabuki Z (Video Game) / int_2ea2942b | comment |
Conspicuously Light Patch: In the underground crypt, the floors is filled with bones and skulls, most which are perfectly blended with the background, but some are still pale white and suspiciously sticks out. As you fight the undead warrior who starts summoning a set of skeletal armor for himself, sure enough, the outstanding bones are the ones that revive. | |

Chest Burster | |
| Kabuki Z (Video Game) / int_69a54df1 | comment |
Chest Burster: An example that somehow doesn't involve some chestburster knockoff or monster; after you defeat the Dragon Warrior, he then collapses... and two young kunoichi warriors suddenly bursts from his back (???). You then fight the two as a Dual Boss. | |

Human Chess | |
| Kabuki Z (Video Game) / int_7359c178 | comment |
Human Chess: After defeating the kunoichi, you're magically transported to a stage resembling a giant chessboard (oddly enough, based on English chess despite the Feudal Japanese setting). Where the pieces are alive and attacks you while moving in a manner reminiscent of actual chess moves (e.g. bishops slides diagonally, rooks comes at you in a straight line, knights moves on their elevation before moving one step upwards or downwards to ambush you). | |

Battle Amongst the Flames: In the second stage, when you're fighting enemies inside a burning building. Occasionally falling embers from the ceiling will drop and damage you on contact, though oddly enough already-existing fires on the floor won't hurt you in any way. | |

Mirror Match: Most of the bosses, like the Kabuki fighter, undead samurai, and undead warrior in the crypt are human-sized, and attacks with melee weapons not unlike your katana. The warrior notably have animations just like yours and can jump as well in his first phase (until he summons a set of skeleton armor on himself). | |
