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:

• Gnaws on someone's arm.

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").
