Aspects

Yasuo
- He references and looks like Miyamoto Musashi and / or Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown through his iconic ponytail design shared with these people, where in Musashi's case, it is in reference to the common visual design with which he is depicted. in fictional media.
- Haoumaru himself is also based on Miyamoto Musashi.
- Another note regarding Yasuo is how his
Tempest of Steel on Chinese servers is named / doubles as 斬 鋼 閃 (Zhǎngāngshǎn, lit. Cutting Steel Flash), which when read in Japanese with the same characters (Zankousen) have exactly the same name as Haoumaru's strong court and one of his special attacks.
- Yasuo's mockery in most of its aspects (save for demonic form of
Yasuo Duskbringer) involves him drinking liquids from his bamboo flask, then spits the liquids on his sword to "bless" it. This is another nod to Haoumaru through a habit made by him in the battle introductions of his series.

- Yasuo is an Ionian swordsman charged with treason for allegedly murdering an old man. He is being hunted across the island's mainland under evidence that the assassin employed a wind technique, one that only Yasuo has mastered today.
- Crossed with
Taliyah as she fled, teaching the Shuriman stone mage how to control her powers. When they parted ways, she gave him a long thread from her hand-spun wool tunic (the same one she uses to tie her hair).

Riven is the old man's killer, as evidenced by the interaction dates with her.
- "Wait, that
technique... eh"
- "Huh,
three quick strokes ... "
- "Another stab of
wind?"
- "Who taught you
that?"
- Eventually, Riven confessed to inadvertently killing Elder Souma, whose
wind smashed his
sword and killed him with a lost shard. However, Yasuo admitted breach of duty, as he might have protected Elder Souma had he not stopped facing the Noxians. Despite being acquitted of his accusations, Yasuo is still infamously known in Ionia as the murderer of his master.

Noxiana de
Ionia, the request for help from
Irelia to defend a coastal village from the Noxian army including
Zion was greeted by
