ONECHANBARA: BIKINI SAMURAI SQUAD is an action game for the Xbox 360 console, featuring a group of young Japanese women who fight a horde of zombies throughout various locations. The game was classified '18' for strong bloody violence.

The violence in the game includes sight of frequent blood-letting with a range of zombies being either shot or sliced in half. Blood is seen spurting from the bodies of the zombies as they are attacked, and is also seen splashing onto the 'camera lens'. There is use of an array of realistic weapons by the slayers, ranging from swords to machine guns. At '15', the BBFC's Guidelines state that 'violence may be strong but may not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury', and that 'the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable'. In the case of ONECHANBARA: BIKINI SAMURAI SQUAD, it was felt that the violence went beyond the Guidelines at '15' with sight of severed limbs and torsos during the action, with the player encouraged to attack as frequently as possible via a 'combo' points system.

The game also contains some sexualised elements as the player is able to dress the female characters in various outfits, and there is a facility to pause the game and rotate the camera so a character's underwear is visible if the player so desires. In this title the women can be seen fighting in these outfits, and if many zombies have been attacked, blood is seen on the limbs of the player's character and dripping from her face, hair and bikini.
