The film's central conflict and its resolution strongly emphasize conservative values of honor, duty, and sacrifice, as the Ronin meticulously restore their master's honor through adherence to a strict traditional code, even unto death.
The movie features a diverse cast that aligns with its Japanese historical fantasy setting, including a mixed-race protagonist whose identity as an outsider is integral to the plot. The narrative focuses on themes of honor and loyalty within Japanese culture, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional Western identities.
The film '47 Ronin' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its plot centers on a traditional samurai tale of honor and revenge, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within its narrative.
The film features the Witch (Mizuki) as a powerful antagonist, but her combat style relies on magic, shapeshifting, and summoning. There are no scenes where she physically defeats one or more male opponents in close-quarters combat using martial arts or melee weapons.
The film adapts the historical legend of the Forty-seven Ronin. All major historical or canonically established characters retain their original gender in the on-screen portrayal. New characters introduced for the film do not count as gender swaps.
The film introduces Kai, an original character of mixed heritage, into the historical Japanese legend. However, Kai is a new creation for this adaptation, not a race-swapped version of an existing historical or canonical figure. Other major characters are portrayed by actors consistent with their established race.
