| Sword of the Samurai | comment |
Sword of the Samurai is the 20th entry in the Fighting Fantasy series of Gamebooks, written by the combined effort of Mark Smith and Jamie Thompson, this time forfeiting the traditional European fantasy setting for something closer to Jidaigeki.You are a samurai from Hachiman, in Khul, and you're the Shogun's champion. One day, you're summoned by your lord to complete a dangerous task: the kingdom of Hachiman is restless, many feudal lords are revolting against the Shogun and move war to each other, causing death and mayhem all over the country. Furthermore, dangerous beasts roam the land. All of this because the evil Master of Shadows, Ikiru, has stolen the Dai-Katana, the Singing Death, and is trying to use its secrets to rule over the land of Hachiman and beyond with his armies. It's your task to prevent this: you must venture forth towards Onikaru, the Pit of Demons, slay Ikiru and recover Singing Death, so that the Shogun may reaffirm his righteous rule.This book is slightly different from most of the standard entries in some aspects: first, your character is bound by duty and Honour, and thus starts with three Honour Points, which can be increased along the way or decreased (If if drops to zero you have to commit seppuku). You can also choose one of four special skills (Kyu-jutsu, Iaijutsu, Ni-to Kenjutsu and Karumijutsu), which may come in handy during the quest. Finally, unlike many books from Livingstone, there are different paths to the end (though just as many, unexpected ways to have an instant death), which allows you to replay this book in different ways.No relation at all with the videogame Sword of the Samurai. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| Sword of the Samurai / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: An oversight in the encounter with the Dai-Oni makes the book rather more unfairly difficult than it might have been intended to be: you can recruit up to 3 allies to fight the Dai-Oni's 3 champions in your stead, plus the Ki-Rin can aid you against the Dai-Oni himself. However any allies you failed to acquire the necessary item to recruit during your adventure have to be skipped, meaning you have to fight the demon champion they were supposed to face yourself. Unfortunately, you cannot voluntarily fight a demon champion unless you have no other allies left, meaning that if you don't have the right champion for a demon, it will kill all the champions you do have before you're finally allowed to fight it, and consequently forcing you to face all the remaining ones too. And if you didn't get the Tiger or the Serpent to deal with Graalsch the toad demon, you have no choice but to watch the allies you brought to deal with K'rllk and Gargantus (and the Ki-Rin) die futilely against it before finally fighting the champions yourself and getting an automatic game over. | |

Dual Wielding: Should you choose Ni-to Kenjutsu you can wield both swords in combat and roll another attack if you roll 9 or more with your first attack. The tradeoff is that it doesn't have other uses outside of combat. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Averted, in the Nushi cavern you die specifically because you're rushed by three gigantic spiders at once, while the three champions together are too much for you to handle. On the other hand, the Golden Company can defeat Gargantus the Bronze Man by taking advantage of their superior numbers, although they do suffer some casualties as a result. No matter how much of a powerful, badass samurai you are: you cannot prevail against a large amount of enemies attacking all at once. | |

Eye Scream: In Ginsei's hut, you roll your eyes backwards in order to escape a blinding gas trap. However, this was highly damaging for your eyes and you suffer a SKILL malus for the rest of the adventure. | |

Boss Bonanza: Before reaching Ikiru (who's the Final Boss) you have to face the Dai-Oni and his three champions, and the former can show up in a phantasmal form if you don't have the right amulet. Deconstructed as you physically can't defeat all of them in a row alone (if you try, the narration mentions that you manage to kill the Toad Demon and the Mantis before you reach your limits and the Bronze Man tears you limb from limb) and need some allies in order to win. | |

Serpent Staff: In one encounter with a Great Serpent, you may have collected an enchanted antler from an immortal elk, which can be used against the Serpent; one touch and the Serpent gets absorbed into the antler, turning to a wooden snake staff. In the unavoidable encounter with Graalsch the Toad Demon later, you can throw the snake staff at Graalsch, at which point it will turn back into a Great Serpent and destroy Graalsch for you before disappearing entirely. | |

Hobbling the Giant: In the Arena, if you sic the band of Knights against the Bronze Giant (provided if you don't sacrifice them to the Toad or Mantis monsters) the Knights will attack the Giant wiith ropes. They suffer minimal casualties in the process, but managed to trip the Giant, at which point it reverts to an inanimated, motionless statue, earning you a victory. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight: Subverted by the Silver Samurai: after attacking him three times you notice that his skin is seemingly intact despite your ferocious attack, and are given a chance to withdraw.
