What about Yaro, Kisama, Jiji, Yourou, Onore from Itk's list?
The only one of those that might approximate the vulgar sense of "bastard" is
yarou (And what is
yourou? Is that a mistake for
yarou?), but the Chinese characters that are sometimes used to write this word (characters that literally mean "field-boy") did not necessarily ever imply "bastard"; as far as I know, they were just chosen for their
onyomi phonetic values, and they actually represent some Japanese word that is the masculine equivalent to the old-fashioned word for "girl; young woman," i.e.
merau >
merou. So, the common Japanese expression of anger,
kono yarou!, probably means nothing more than "this guy!"
As for the rest of the identifiable Japanese words from your list,
kisama is literally an honorific expression for addressing a nobleman (something like "Your Honor" or "Your Highness"),
jijii just means "grandpa" (also in the sense of "old man"), and
onore is a word that originally means "oneself," but at various times in Japanese history and in various dialects has been used as a personal pronoun, meaning either "you" or "I."
