The central theme of the game is the occupation of an island by a foreign (barbarian) army. There are frequent sounds of women screaming as soldiers enter villages, and some hinted rapes (eg. soldiers chasing a woman fleeing into her house). In one of the first scenes of the game, a main female character pretends to be afraid of a soldier coming to her house, begging for his mercy. However, she quickly kills him. A small subplot (The Tale of Yuna) features a main female character explaining (non graphically) that she suffered from sexual abuses from a man who took her and her brother as slaves during her childhood. One side quest in Umagi Cove (about one-third into the game, titled "A Thief of Innocence") requires to search for a missing girl and talk to witnesses. One of the witnesses is a ronin, who is asked "have you seen a girl named Kuma?" He replies, "Girls. Boys. Chickens. I have whatever you could want for the night, and for the right price, you can call them whatever you like..." indicating that child trafficking and beastiality are being used to help finance the war.
