THE DRINKING GAME:
Take a drink whenever...
The Narrator:
- Ends the episode on a rhetorical question ("Will the Ronin Warriors be able to defeat Talpa...?) or an overly dramatic statement ("Until then, terror still reigns!!").
- In other words, take a drink at the end of each episode.
Ryo:
- Feels sorry for himself.
- Has his leadership blatantly usurped by the others. (Two drinks if Mia blatantly usurps his leadership).
- Tries to be solemn and ends up sounding like Keanu Reeves.
- Gets maimed, blinded, crippled, etc.
Sage:
- "We need a plan..." (two drinks if any of the ronins immediately insist that they don't or if the next scene shows them merrily proceeding without a plan).
- Crosses his arms and leans against something.
- Hair flops into eyes while in full armor.
- Hair defies gravity, weather, or large amounts of water.
- Chooses an inopportune time to meditate.
Sai:
- Displays any noticeable personality whatsoever.
- Two drinks for his astonishingly cruel line, in reference to Rowen being trapped in space, "Couldn't we go on without him?"
- "Supah Wave SMASHUH!!" just 'cause it sounds so cute when he says it.
Kento:
- EATS!!
- Is criticized/picked on by any of the ronins.
Rowen:
- Shows any sign of being "the most clever and dangerous" of the ronins.
- Drain it for his "Ryo! She's a girl!" line. Ditto for his "You.. You're a man!" line to Anubis.
Misc. Ronins:
- Partial ronin nudity!
- Fights/arguments between ronins.
- Any of our boys get all teary-eyed.
- An unrealistic number of ronins are crammed into the backseat of Mia's jeep.
- Any of our boys get stepped on, literally. (by warlords or Kayura).
White Blaze:
Mia:
- Uses her computer
- Feeds the boys.
- Is used as bait by the warlords.
Yuli:
- Anyone covers his mouth
- Covers his own mouth
- Saves the day
Anubis:
- Hurls his chains or the ancient's staff directly at someone instead of near them.
- Carries on an interior monologue.
- Drain the whole glass when he dies (sniff).
Warlords:
- Call the ronins "pathetic", "small boy", or "dear".
- Call the ronins by their first name, sans epithets.
- Gang up against each other.
- Kill any animals (including fish)
- Any one manages to trap all five warriors.
- Pass up a perfect opportunity to kill any of the ronins in order to toy with them some more.
- Extinguish candles through unnatural means.
Kayura:
- Gets naked.
- Openly shows disgust towards the warlords.
Talpa:
- Makes a joke
- Refers to himself as "evil"
Etc:
- The title of the episode gives away the ending (ex: "The Warriors Triumph", "White Blaze's Sacrifice").
