Tropes used in Letters From Iwo Jima include: •: The 'honourable' way of doing things according to the Empire, which includes ordering the entire battalion to go on a hopeless suicide mission. Many soldiers are clearly unhappy about this.. •: One man dies sitting upright with half his face gone during an air raid. There are also various limbs lost during the battle itself, people attacked with flamethrowers, blown up at point blank range. •: Kuribayashi withdraws his men from the beaches to fight from caves and tunnels rather then wasting them in the pointless (but honorable) suicide attacks his subordinates would prefer.

Tries to force his troops to accompany him in a reckless suicide attack, before leaving alone to attempt to take out a tank. Instead he pretends to be dead until the battle's over. And this is after he nearly kills Saito and Shimizu for following orders and retreating.
