Known as Samurai Spirits in Japan, this SNK one-on-one Fighting Game series is set during the closing years of the Edo period. The first game, Samurai Shodown, was the debut of the Weapon Fighter subgenre, and the one of the first fighting games to introduce a super meter, the Rage Gauge. Once filled, this gauge increases the strength of attacks; starting with the second game, Samurai Shodown II, each character also has a super move that empties the gauge after successfully connecting. Samurai Shodown II is also credited with introducing the first "parry" system.Overall compared to its numerous fighting game brethren, Samurai Shodown stood out from the crowd namely by being more about finesse and less about chaining super combos. Specifically, thanks to the high damage output of singular moves, the battles here would run either incredibly quick or maddeningly slow. It leads to a more chess-like experience with a focus on hit-an-run tactics that makes play quite unlike most other 2-D fighters. However, for this very reason, its remained mostly in the cult favorite realm as high-speed super-combo-chaining fighters have taken nearly complete prominence. Also, on another note, it's a very bloody fighting game. While it doesn't focus on gore like Mortal Kombat, it can fill almost as many buckets.A total of six games were made for the original Neo-Geo (MVS and AES) system, with Samurai Shodown V Special being the last game to be released for the system. An update for that game called Samurai Shodown V Perfect was in development, but was never actually released until years later as part of a collection, then finally getting an official arcade release a full 18 years after the release of Special. Other two games, Samurai Shodown 64 and Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage, were released for the ill-fated Hyper Neo-Geo 64 in the late nineties, while a Distant Finale game, sharing the title (losing only the "64") Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage was later released for the Playstation, much to the confusion of the players; in Japan the games are known as Samurai Spirits 2 Asura Zanmaden and Kenkaku Ibunroku - Yomigaerishi Soukou no Yaiba - Samurai Supirittsu Shinshou respectively. Samurai Shodown VI was released for the Atomiswave arcade board and Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny was released for the Taito Type X2.Ports of most games existed — including two for the Neo-Geo Pocket — but were not numerous. A few Spin Offs were made, like Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushido Retsuden for the Neo-Geo CD, Nakoruru: Ano Hito kara no Okurimono for the PC and Dreamcast, as well as a pachislot game. A few characters have appeared in crossover games like the SNK vs. Capcom series, and the third Days of Memories game features only Samurai Shodown characters.While perhaps not entirely historically authentic — the period between Sengoku and Bakumatsu was awfully short on fire-breathing kabuki actors, green cavemen, and clockwork robot onmyoji, and none of the Tokugawas was a Handsome Lech who wielded eight swords at once — the game is notable for its atmosphere, which enthusiastically recalls the Edo period's music, style of dress, etc.Incidentally, the title is deliberately misspelled, a sort of portmanteau of "showdown" and "shodo" (calligraphy). That doesn't mean that the games' English translations aren't full of accidental misspellings and "Blind Idiot" Translation, though...It is in its own way, a sort of spiritual predecessor and inspiration for the current dominant weapons fighter - Soulcalibur. It even gets some small nods in various outfits for the characters that echo those found in Samurai Shodown. The circle was completed when Haohmaru was announced as a DLC character for the Soul Calibur VI Season 2 pass.The franchise went onto a hiatus after Edge of Destiny, seeing that the game was very much reviled, relegating Samurai Shodown into either mobile/pachislot titles. SNK didn't give up on the franchise, however. They expressed the desire to bring the franchise back from the grave and made steps for it when they came back to the mainline gaming scene, by including the franchise heroine and company co-mascot Nakoruru into The King of Fighters XIV and SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, this way, it brought back the attention of the mainstream to the series.And bring the franchise back they did with a new game simply titled Samurai Shodown again, a 2.5D game running on Unreal Engine 4 which harkens back to the classic gameplay. Released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2019, it took the Fighting Game Community by storm and it quickly earned a spot in Evolution Championship Series 2019, thus completing the resurgence of SNK. The launch was also accompanied by a quartet of special edition Neo Geo Minis, each themed around a character of the franchise (Kuroko, Ukyo Tachibana, Nakoruru and Haohmaru).The debut trailer can be seen here, this is the trailer they prepared for PAX East 2019 and here's the official gameplay trailer.

Blind Without 'Em | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_146f4e0 | comment |
Meganekko: Ruixiang from the 2019 game. As well as being - at least in her finisher - terrified of the colossal fire-breathing Chinese dragon contained within her shield, she's also Blind Without 'Em as, whenever she drops her shield, her glasses go with it. This has her pawing the air as she slowly looks for them, saying "megane..." to herself. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The whole series can get dark in tone, but it varies from game to game. III and IV in particular have a bit of a mournful tone and a dark color palette: IV is especially notable in this considering that basically none of the levels take place during daytime, the ones that do are in middle of Scenery Gorn, the only upbeat song in the entire game is Galford's theme and if the time is about to run out, Amakusa will turn the entire arena into a surrealistic hellscape. Finally, IV was the one that brought dedicated Finishing Moves to the series to begin with. VI is the exception: it has a matsuri (festival) setting, and notably, no blood. | |

Hero Antagonist: Haohmaru in Warriors Rage (PS). He wants to save Mikoto, but at that moment she is technically one of the villains, and good guys want to kill the villains, so Haohmaru clashes swords with the main hero Seishiro (in drama CD) and Hanzo (in game itself). | |

Boisterous Bruiser | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_153299b4 | comment |
Boisterous Bruiser: Haohmaru. He fights, he loves it, he likes boozing off with his sake, he tends to inspire a lot of the younger generations (like Shizumaru) with his stern advice about battle. In fact, if there is trouble on the land, he's usually wandering around looking for good fights here and there, and either the Big Bads have to hunt him down themselves for their purposes, or he just approaches them demanding to know whether they're strong. Saving the world is for the heroine Nakoruru. | |

Our Elves Are Different | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: Most characters in series that originate from Makai (Demon World) seem to have pointy ears - that includes Asura, Hanmen no Asura, Yuga, Yuda, and, in some depictions, Enja and Suija. Hanmen no Asura and Han-In to nari shi Shiki have alternative palettes which make them look like High Elves. Moreso in their primary palettes their (as well as Asura's, Yuga's and Yuda's) skin is grey and also Han-In to nari shi Shiki's hair is white, similarly to Dark Elves. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The series shines when it comes to backstory, and the bios for almost all characters are incredibly detailed, listing the usual elements like height, weapon etc, but also interesting additional facts like family relations, what they look for in a partner and even what gives them a complex. When it comes to the characters’ origins, Parts Unknown is sparingly avoided and detail is typically thorough, with many of the Japanese characters ascribed a village/town, district and province — Ukyo even has all three. This lends the characterisation a feeling of richness and depth. | |

The Cameo: Mai Shiranui in Haohmaru's and Gen-An's endings in the first game (the latter was retconned as Ayame, Galford's and Earthquake's mentor). Also Sho Hayate in Kyoshiro's endings in V and VI, hinted as his ancestor and creator of the Fu'un style. Ryuhaku Todoh from Art of Fighting series (also hinted as an ancestor of the actual era Ryuhaku) appears as cameo in diverse endings of the series and in one stage of first 64 game. | |

Power Limiter: Asura's bondage gear which is infused with Yuga's power, and so he cant take it off while Yuga is alive. Also the whole deal of Ambrosia and Yuga being very powerful yet unable to get out of Makai (Demon World) unless they come into possession of certain artifact. And when Yuga later possesses Mikoto, she is unable to fully overpower her and use body as her own. | |

| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_1f963842 | comment |
Bloodier and Gorier: From the third game onwards, blood became much more abundant and kills were more detailed and frequent. Fatalities could be used by the fourth installment, and the very gory "Zetsumei Ougi / Overkill" was added to Samurai Shodown V Special. Then Samurai Shodown VI left out blood and death entirely, but by Edge of Destiny, they added some very graphic death scenes. | |

Deal with the Devil: Amakusa and Mizuki made such pacts with Ambrosia. Yunfei and Gaoh too - with Dark Emperor. Zankuro refused to make this with Aku Amakusa, so he was sealed in a stone statue in IV. Gen-An made one with Mizuki in exchange of going Back from the Dead in II (he was killed by Ayame, Galford's mentor, at the end of I). | |

| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_2207b002 | comment |
Ambiguously Brown: What are Tam Tam and Cham Cham, anyway? Their village appears to be in Venezuela. Their worship of Quetzalcoatl and use of the Nahuatl language suggests that they're Mexican Aztecs, although Tam Tam's fighting style is supposedly Mayan, and the Palenke Stone presumably refers to the Mayan city Palenque. There are a few hints that they're African (the Tangiers Stone, chimpanzees, Cham Cham's tiger-skin outfit), and Cham Cham's boomerang suggests that she's Indigenous Australian. The 2019 game at last provides clarity, with the game's world map presenting Green Hell as being in the Maya territory of Mesoamerica. | |

Game-Breaker | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_2536f695 | comment |
In SS2 and possibly some others, Kuroko is in fact a Game-Breaker (playable in the home versions), just as strong or maybe stronger than the final boss: partly because of his large arsenal of attack Shout Outs to other SNK fighters and weird attacks other characters have trouble countering, including a ranged attack that pulls in the opponent and stuns them which can be repeated for an infinite combo, the ability to split in 2 horizonally when hit by the opponent's attack and have one half of him blow up, and an extremely powerful and quick Desperation Attack that takes out roughly 90% of the opponent's health if it connects. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: Used in 2D games of series as a way to gradually change skin color as characters Rage more. Another famous example of the skin-color aspect of this trope is Nakoruru. Her 2nd player palette made her look like her own Evil Twin. The idea was developed on with subsequent games, and evolved into body-sharing character Purple Nakoruru/Evil Nakoruru, and later in separate character, Rera In same fashion Kim Ung Che was created as "separate" character from Gaira in Samurai Shodown VI. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The games are set in 1788-1811. Texas and San Francisco are part of the United States (Texas joined in 1845, California in 1850, and San Francisco was just a Spanish missionary church, not a city, at the time of the games' setting); Amakusa Shiro (1621-1638), Yagyu Jubei (1607-1650) and Hattori Hanzō (1542-1596) are all alive; Prussia is a feudal kingdom with castles, armored knights, and an Arthurian king; the White House has its modern appearance; and there are robots (well, "mechanical dolls"). So we have French knights, American ninja, and pseudo-Mexican warriors fighting against fictionalized figures from Japanese history. In SS RPG, Sieger marries Queen Victoria, who wasn't even born until 1819. Edge of Destiny ups the ante with, among others, a Western Knight, a Native American, a Toreador, a Cow Boy, a clone of Afro Samurai and a Viking. And don't forget VI, which featured a Crane disguised as a maid, and someone who may be Andrew Jackson (as in "7th President of the United States" Andrew Jackson (1767-1845)). Also Earthquake's neon-colored punk-ish clothing is soooo 1980-1990. | |

Non-Indicative Name | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_295087bf | comment |
Non-Indicative Name: While several characters have the right aesthetics, hardly anyone one in the playable cast is actually a samurai in the real sense of the term. Jubei did used to be a proper samurai who served the Tokugawa shogunate, but he's since given the title up and become a ronin. The only true playable samurai who still does work as one is Jinbei. | |

Death as Game Mechanic: In IV, you've got the secret move called "Honorable Death", in which the player can commit a Heroic Suicide (being a "Samurai" game, it's usually a Seppuku) and depletes all its energy bar to start the next round with its power bar full. | |

Hell Has New Management: Samurai Shodown VI boss Ma Gaoh (Ma stands for Makai no Suberubeshi - oppressor of demon world). A demon-possessed version of Gaoh, who managed to take over Hell by abusing power of Dark Emperor (who possessed him in first place), and riding him like own horse (!). And if thats not enough, the first picture that greets you before fighting Ma Gaoh is him stomping the head of Lucifer. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: In only one year after being defeated in Samurai Shodown 64, Yuga comes back, successfully enslaves Haohmaru and Shiki, plunges the world in darkness and nearly merges it with the Demon World. Then Asura unexpectedly comes and deals with Yuga for good...which doesn't change much since Asura is another bad guy (albeit a lesser evil compared to Yuga). | |

Older Than They Look: Enja, Suija, Nicotine and Yunfei (the first two show their actual age during their suicide moves - they turn into skeletons and then into dust). Shockingly, Nicotine is the youngest of four. Amakusa is quite old as well, but it doesnt counts since he is an undead. Asura is ancient but he doesnt looks quite human, too. | |

Dramatic Red Samurai Background: In old Samurai Shodown games, when a Zetsumei Ougi move is performed, a Black Screen of Death with a white line that slashed the screen appears when the enemy is finished with this move. In 2019 when performing an Issen, the black screen is followed by a red one and the character performing the move is in black and white in a samurai movie-like fashion. | |

He wants his "accursed" existence to end so he can stay with his beloved Kagaribi in the afterlife. After Samurai Shodown V storyline retcon, in his Samurai Shodown V ending, he recovers a repressed memory: he, not Zankuro, had killed Kagaribi. | |

Asura appeared in only one game of series, and got a cult following - the demand for him was so high thar developers were forced to include him to Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. Also true for Shiki, but she managed to appear in several more games before that. | |

Split Personality | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_370aad9 | comment |
Split Personality / Superpowered Evil Side: The whole Shura/Rasetsu (Slash/Bust) split character concept present in series. Also, Enja.Kazuki to Kazuki. Suija.Sogetsu to Sogetsu. Aku Mikoto (Yuga) to Mikoto. Rera is basically Nakoruru's long-time repressed angsty side created partly by her father's dissapearance and her lack of will to fight. Not evil per se, but really pissed off. Somewhat subverted by Rasetsumaru. While he is based on concept of evil Haohmaru, he is a separate entity, rather than part of Haohmaru's sub-consciousness. Storyline-wise he was Amakusa's attempt to create his version of Haohmaru, but since Amakusa wields demonic powers we all know how it ended. Amakusa has this as well in part 4. The evil side, dubbed "Aku Amakusa" by fans, is the first of 3 bosses you face. His Shura/Rasetsu (Slash/Bust) mode always opposes the mode of player's character. He has different, darker move graphics, his voice is more evil and warped, and his skin is purple. He also has some slightly different winposes. Storyline-wise he is a lost evil half of Amakusa, which got separated after his defeat in original Samurai Shodown. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Few things are better for punishing an opponet's mistake than a simple fierce slash; given the high damage levels used in the series, this often becomes an extreme case of the use of this trope. Oh, and while it's true that landing a disarming desperation attack tends to make the fight easier, there are still several cases when merely causing a good amount of raw damage is much better. | |

Pistol-Whipping | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_3c111ce6 | comment |
Pistol-Whipping: Draco from Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny takes this to its logical extreme, using a shotgun primarily as a melee weapon. Actually makes a certain amount of sense, considering all the playable characters use standard melee weapons...and while he does actually shoot with his gun, it doesn't kill or incapacitate instantly, and he has to reload after two shots. Andrew is much the same, primarily using a bayonet on the end of his rifle. Jushiro subverts the trope by having gun built inside his sword's hilt, with sheathing resulting in machine gun mode | |

Desperation Attack | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_419545ad | comment |
In 2, several characters have super secret moves, some of them would ascend as their official Rage Desperation Attack in latter games (Haohmaru's Tenha Fuujinzan and Nakoruru's Ererushi Kamui Rise are the examples of those, whereas Galford and Hanzo can inflict Invisibility on them). You don't need the full Rage meters to do them, but good luck doing those, not only they're not revealed in anywhere except guides (official Rage Desperation Attack for that game is put on screen when the Rage meter is full), they need even MORE dexterity required... | |

Elemental Powers | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: Out the yin-yang. Galford uses electricity, Hanzo, Kyoshiro, Kazuki and Enja use fire, Yunfei (and to some) degree) Haohmaru use wind, Sogetsu and Suija use water, Rimururu uses ice. Hanmen no Asura uses light, shadows and dark electricity at once. Based on his special move names, Jubei's projectiles and super are composed out of "reflected moonlight" Notably, fire is pretty prevalent in 2. Hanzo, Ukyo, Kyoshiro, Sieger, Charlotte, Wan Fu, Earthquake, Nakoruru, Cham Cham, Caffeine Nicotine, and final boss Mizuki ALL have at least one manoeuvre that leaves you engulfed in flame. That's ELEVEN out of seventeen fighters. And the guy who runs by in the background? He tosses firebombs at the fight every so often, too. | |

Single-Stroke Battle: Zankuro (raged) versus Mina in Samurai Shodown V Special. She dies in one stroke. Every character can do this in the 2019 game by triggering their Rage Burst. It's a Death or Glory Attack, however, as doing so will remove the Rage meter for the rest of the match. It's not an instant-kill either, just a heavily damaging attack. | |

| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_4712a11d | comment |
Samurai Shinobi: Played with in Warriors Rage with the Oniwabanshu, the samurai police force Seishiro Kuki and Jin-Emon Hanafusa are part of. The organization is In Name Only to the historical Oniwabanshu, a secret agency in Feudal Japan that worked as ninjas (and worldwide famous thanks to Rurouni Kenshin, Gintama and Lone Wolf and Cub as others), being more the Fictional Counterpart of The Shinsengumi. Yashamaru Kurama, one of the new characters from SS 2019 is a half-human half-Tengu (the second Youkai of the series along with Kusaregedo from SSV) who goes in a personal vendeta against the Tokugawa family, acting as a thief and a vigilante, being his moves and intentions closer to a ninja than a samurai, even when he uses a complete samurai armor and weapon. | |

Gory Discretion Shot | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_49f20c6a | comment |
Gory Discretion Shot: A couple of characters use this for particularly gruesome finishing moves. Kusaregedo for example, hauls the enemy offscreen before devouring them. He then lumbers back onscreen and coughs up their skull. Suija lifts his enemy offscreen, crushes and liquefies him/her and let their blood rain down on him! | |

Compilation Rerelease: Samurai Shodown Anthology (Wii, PSP, PS2), which includes parts one through six in the series - but does not include Samurai Shodown V Special. Incidentally, this is the only way US and European players can play Samurai Shodown VI without resorting to importing the game from Japan. Luckily for them, Samurai Shodown VI has all Unlockable Content available from the start. | |

Video Game Historical Revisionism | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_4c61d5b6 | comment |
Video Game Historical Revisionism: The games are set in 1788-1811. Texas and San Francisco are part of the United States, Amakusa Shiro (1621-1638) and Hattori Hanzo (1542-1596) are both alive, Prussia is a feudal kingdom with castles, armored knights, and an Arthurian king, the White House has its modern appearance, and there are robots. Because of the time frame, those are explained as mechanical puppet constructs, so-called Karakuri. Karakuri Hanma has no personality, and Karakuri Ochamaro has personality infused by the means of magic, since this puppet was created by a sorcerer. Don't forget Yagyu Jubei (1607-1650). Don't understand why SNK didn't invent some equivalents; didn't seem to have a problem with this for Axel Hawk or Terry Rogers. (Amakusa, at least, has an in-game explanation, that he made a deal with Ambrosia to return from the dead.) As for the seaport and southern wilderness locations needed for Galford and Earthquake's stages, any Northeaster port town (like Boston) and Atlanta would've worked fine. Puzzling. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The ending of the Nakoruru ADV game: Yantamu dies trying to save Nakoruru, then she dies as well, and it's implied they are happily reunited in the afterlife. Many of the characters have downer endings in several games, ending in the demise of themselves or a loved one. Mina's SS 5 ending is possibly the worst, as she has to kill her adorable pet, after which it is heavily implied that she kills herself. | |

Double Knockout | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_51ac2a10 | comment |
Double Knockout: Samurai Shodown games count this as a win for both fighters (and go into a 30-second sudden death mode if it happens both times). In the 3D titles, Issen Competititon activates instead to decide the winner. In the earlier games, a double knockout was called a Double Fatality, even though the characters would stand up after the end of the fight. In SS 5 Special, characters could actually be cut in half during a double knockout, but would continue to fight in the next round. | |

Nature Spirit: Any game after Samurai Shodown 2 chronologically, Nakoruru. Probably her adoptive (post-Samurai Shodown 5 retcon) sister Rimururu, too. (weird she dosn't age in the 20 years between SS64-2 and Warrior's Rage (the PS game)) She haven't aged because she was sealed by Oboro and surrounded by protective ice for those years. This is evident by the fact that she acts very surpirsed seeing Haohmaru being old and wearing a beard. | |

The Emperor: Suija Sogetsu and Enja Kazuki could enter Fire and Water Emperor modes that fused them with their elements. Yuga's full name is Kaitei Yuga (lit. "Emperor of Destruction Yuga"). Then we got Dark Emperor (Kuraki Sumeragi in Japanese) as the last boss of Samurai Shodown V (fused with Gaoh). Golba made a few moves that affected countries across the world, so he is partially a subject of this trope. | |

Non-Linear Sequel | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_5b0e3d8a | comment |
Non-Linear Sequel: Every 2D Samurai Shodown has been a non-linear sequel since Samurai Shodown II. III and IV are set after the original game but before II, while V and the 2019 reboot are prequels to the first game. Oddly enough, the 3D games are all true sequels to Samurai Shodown II, although the PS version of Warriors' Edge (which is a different game from the arcade version) takes place in the distant future of the other games. | |

Really 700 Years Old | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: Asura, Yuga and Ambrosia are all ancient beings. Although Enja, Suija and Yunfei all are over 1000 years old as well, part of those years was passed in suspended animation, so they may or may not qualify for this trope. By the way, Enja and Suija show their actual age during their suicide moves - they turn into skeletons and then to dust. | |

Spam Attack | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_5f55ee96 | comment |
Spam Attack: In close quarters, multi-hitting moves like Ukyo's "Snowfall", Jubei's "Eight Aspects Blast", Charlotte's "Splash Fount", Rimururu's "Blizzard Spear", Haito's "Rending Wind Blade" and Daruma's "Blowing Sakura of Pontocho" - the latter two do like a hundred of hits. Amakusa and Mizuki also had multi-hitting slaps (later they gained multi-slap and multi-claw swipe moves respectively). Kyoshiro's "Eight-Headed Serpent" move bombards opponent with multiple fiery projectiles range of which generally expands with each next projectile. Regarding long-range spam, we should mention Jushiro with his machine gun sword, and Mina with her endless arrows supply. And lets dont even get started on Yuga's 2nd and 3rd forms which are the walking embodiment of this trope. | |

And the arranged version adds the National Anthem (Star-Spangled Banner) in the beginning, then goes into a rock version of Stars and Stripes Forever. | |

Sinister Scythe: One of Asura's weapons is giant Leviathan scythe, which makes him look like The Grim Reaper. If we're letting kusari-gama in, then Earthquake's rig belongs here too. Of course, a sickle for him is about scythe-sized for the rest of the cast. Even doubly odd, his seems to be sharpened on the outside of the curve, given the animation of his heavy slashes. | |

Improbable Weapon User: Wan Fu (stone pillar, but only in the second game - in the first he used a broadsword), Neinhalt Sieger (giant gauntlet with built-in cannon), Kafuin Gaira (prayer beads), Hanma and Karakuri Hanma (gauntlets with built-in cannons), Morozumi Taizan (giant calligraphy brush), Hisame Shizumaru (umbrella). One of Asura's Seven Ancient Weapons is a shield, that attacks opponent with spikes. Honourable mention for Cham Cham, who uses a sharpened boomerang as a melee weapon. Storyline-wise, Hanma created his weapon based on Sieger's. Giant prayer beads like Gaira's were developed specifically for use as weapons when carrying conventional ones like swords was made illegal in ancient China. SS 2019 gets the tendency back with Ruxiang, who wields a magic shield as her weapon, and Wan-Fu is back with his stone pillas as in SS2. | |

Not So Invincible After All | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_6b22aace | comment |
Not So Invincible After All: Ukyo Tachibana was set up for this with his tuberculosis, but due to his popularity, SNK has never followed through, except in the (canonically happening near end of series) Samurai Spirits Asura Zanmaden (Samurai Shodown 64 Warriors Rage). This was retconned seeing how he is alive and well in Edge of Destiny which happens few years after Asura Zanmaden. | |

Unstoppable Rage | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_6b983bf7 | comment |
Unstoppable Rage: Rage System is the central gameplay element. Damage taken by characters adds energy to their Rage Gauge, and when its filled they enter Raged state - which grants stronger attacks, ability to use super moves (like Weapon Flipper) and enhanced special moves. Later games also add Rage Explosion, which removes character's Rage Gauge but for the short period of time grants character a big power boost and ability to use few devastating attacks. Kazuki and Enja are the subjects of this trope. Enja also sports the fastest Raging rate in all games he appeared in. | |

Good Wings, Evil Wings | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_6bf29c6e | comment |
Good Wings, Evil Wings: Asura is an anti-hero, who is shown having 8 black feathered wings (although he only had 2 in OVA). Hanmen no Asura is an anti-villain with 4 white feathered wings. Yuga is a villain with 2 small demon wings that can grow to form bigger, insect-like wings. Mikoto is shown having one white and one black wing, which represent good & evil halves of her personality (the latter being a result of Yuga possession). Yuda is an anti-hero who is show having single black feathered wing - that happened after he lost 7 Ancient Weapons (and 7 out of 8 wings) as Asura. Also, his weapons happen to be the seven demon lords, that show in humanoid forms in his ending, each having single black feathered wing as well. | |

Every Warriors Rage (Playstation) hidden character is a clone of the 11 initial ones, although they all have new storylines, voices and basic moves. There are three caregories: Boss characters that are mostly unique note Tohma, Mikoto and Kuno, standard clones that share the exact same special moves note Minto, Daruma, Tashon Mao, Mugenji and Yuda. Both NPC Oboro weapons count as these, and Player Mooks that lack all special attacks note Ninja, Samurai, Bandit, Amazon. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: In 2, several characters have super secret moves, some of them would ascend as their official Rage Desperation Attack in latter games (Haohmaru's Tenha Fuujinzan and Nakoruru's Ererushi Kamui Rise are the examples of those, whereas Galford and Hanzo can inflict Invisibility on them). You don't need the full Rage meters to do them, but good luck doing those, not only they're not revealed in anywhere except guides (official Rage Desperation Attack for that game is put on screen when the Rage meter is full), they need even MORE dexterity required... Also starting with 2 was the "intrusion character" mechanic, where an Optional Boss may occur depending on various play conditions. The most infamous is Kuroko, who will hint that you have the potential to do his fight by commenting personally in matches afterwards, but his conditions are both doable (defeat certain later opponents without losing a round and with a super move in under 20 seconds), and random (he can pop out after any opponent if he really feels like it). And he can be a playthrough stopper by sheer nature of being an SNK Boss. Actually playing as Kuroko also required a secret cheat code on a very specific regional release of the Neo Geo CD version. | |

All Love Is Unrequited | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: Galford's feelings towards Nakoruru will mostly get unanswered due to her complete devotion to nature. Then in Samurai Shodown 2, in his ending, he witnessed her DIE (or at least turn herself into the spirit of nature) protecting nature. They still got to talk one last time before she left his life forever. Maybe his love of justice would get requited instead... And about Nakoruru, the story repeats itself with Yantamu in Nakoruru: Ano Hito kara no Okurimono who made an Heroic Sacrifice to save Nakoruru. Another example is that of Charlotte-Oshizu-Haohmaru. Charlotte and O-Shizu were both in love with Haohmaru, but he is a Celibate Hero, dedicated entirely to fighting. While O-Shizu is depicted as being permanently interested in him and Haohmaru returning her feelings to a degree (he even kisses her in his SS 2 ending, though he also tells her she's better off without him), Charlotte eventually renounces her feelings (Important Haircut and all) once she finds Haohmaru and O-Shizu together at the end of the second game. | |

Kick Them While They Are Down: Ground Pursuit (of a downed opponent) is a gameplay element starting from Samurai Shodown IV. In Asura Zanmaden, some special moves get this function too.

Red Is Violent | |

Red Is Violent: The POW bar is filled with the damage received and when it's full, the character makes an angry pose and their skin turns red, allowing them to perform a Desperation Move: unlike most fighters, performing one doesn't instantly empty out the POW meter and if they miss with their DM, they can keep trying until the bar empties on its own or they connect with the DM. Also used in Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium, in which the K-Groove is based on this game series (plus the "Just Defend" ability from Garou: Mark of the Wolves). Kazuki Kazama is a Hot-Blooded Fiery Redhead Ninja who has red hair and eyes and even his clothes are in red that manages fire powers. An impulsive fighter that has a Hair-Trigger Temper if someone makes harm to his sister Hazuki. | |

Louis Cypher: Asura fullfills the role of Devil in Samurai Shodown universe. His struggle with Yuga is a play on Satan Is Good and God Is Evil tropes. | |

Recycled Title | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_7f0f2e2 | comment |
Recycled Title: "Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage" was used as the overseas title for both Samurai Spirits Asura Zanmaden, and its sequel Samurai Spirits Shinsho. This led to big confusion among non-Japanese fans. In addition, there were two Samurai Shodown games for Neo Geo Pocket called "Samurai Shodown!" and "Samurai Shodown! 2". The first two arcade games were also called that, minus the exclamation marks. | |

Sdrawkcab Name: Names of all the attacks of Asura and Hanmen no Asura. This is because their powers bear names of demons and angels, and reading those in reverse to summon their powers is a common occult practice. This backwards writing is also true for all words in the intro of game those two characters appear in. | |

BFS: Suzuhime. Asura, Hanmen no Asura and Yuda also carry very long swords in Sephiroth fashion. In fact, developers mentioned that Asura's sword was initially so long that its attacks had fullscreen range, so they were forced to shorten it for the sake of balance. Asura also has the giant Beelzebub battle axe, the impact of which can cause landslides. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Defeating the foe with the right move (usually the strongest slash a character has but there are some exceptions) will cause them to be bisected and golden charms to fall out, leaving only their weapon in the ground. Then Samurai Shodown IV introduced "Agony Ougi" which were effectively character-specific fatalities which left opponents sliced in pieces with blood graphically spurting out. Asura Zanmaden game also added ability to cut off opponent's arm. In the original version of Samurai Shodown V Special, you could, under certain conditions, perform a (very violent and graphic) move called the "Death Ougi" which would actually kill your opponent (thus ending the match); the relevant part is that, for a number of characters it went beyond just cutting the opponent up: some of them would literally destroy the opponent's body leaving nothing behind, save perhaps a head, a skull or a rain of blood. Thats aside of plethora of generic "cut / stab / smash" finishers initiated at the end of the match if opponent was killed by normal attack Samurai Shodown Sen/Edge of Destiny features ability to cut opponents in half; stab them for the fountain of blood, cut their arm off; decapitate them; or impale them and leave the weapon in their body. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Stalker with a Crush: Shiki subverts this trope by stalking Haohmaru due to Yuga's bidding. Nevertheless according to plan they should have sexual intercourse just because theoretically body of their child would be a perfect vessel for Dark God's incarnation - at least according to Samurai Shodown 64 storyline | |

Comeback Mechanic: Probably the "OG" of the genre. The POW/Rage meter fills up by taking damage as opposed to dealing it and once it's full you can let it drain out and do more damage or cash it out to perform a Limit Break. | |

Fetus Terrible: An embryo appearing in the center of eye on giant sphere in Mizuki's stage (Yuga's fetus symbol may be related to it too) - it symbolizes the rebirth of Dark God in the realm of humans. Unborn children that were changed by Yuga's magic are the subject of this trope as well. Also Yuga's spirit escaping into Shiki's daughter (Mikoto) before she was born. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: All of the games in the series are full of this. One rather unusual example in the second game looks like an exception, when Cham Cham is regarding the SNK Boss right after she's declared her intent to 'eat, eat you all': 'Shit! You really make me mad!' Samurai Shodown IV is always happy to declare "victoly!"... which is counterweighted with a "fatarity!!". The referee's statement after anyone's second fight in 2 is "ki ga warui" (meaning, roughly, "something's not right" or "something strange is happening"). It was translated into "Horrible atmosphere." | |

Joke Character | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_8f1ec2c5 | comment |
Joke Character: Kuroko, the fight referee, is playable in some games. Poppy, Galford's dog companion, is playable in Samurai Shodown V. VI adds Sugoroku; Characters like Genan, Earthquake, Hanma, Karakuri Hanma, Minto, Tashonmao and Kusaregedo are clearly series' fun factor fodder. In SS2 and possibly some others, Kuroko is in fact a Game-Breaker (playable in the home versions), just as strong or maybe stronger than the final boss: partly because of his large arsenal of attack Shout Outs to other SNK fighters and weird attacks other characters have trouble countering, including a ranged attack that pulls in the opponent and stuns them which can be repeated for an infinite combo, the ability to split in 2 horizonally when hit by the opponent's attack and have one half of him blow up, and an extremely powerful and quick Desperation Attack that takes out roughly 90% of the opponent's health if it connects. | |

Half the Man He Used to Be: A longtime feature of the Samurai Shodown series is being able to slice your opponent in half if you hit them hard enough. This is usually either at the waist or a Diagonal Cut. Vertical cut is present in Samurai Shodown IV fatalities and in Samurai Shodown V Special as one of generic finishers. | |

Every character can do this in the 2019 game by triggering their Rage Burst. It's a Death or Glory Attack, however, as doing so will remove the Rage meter for the rest of the match. It's not an instant-kill either, just a heavily damaging attack. | |

Shapeshifter Weapon: Yuga's female form can form various weapons (axes, spears, swords, bows, etc) by shapeshifting own arms. Also, swords of Deku and Hanmen no Asura too have ability to grow in size and length. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The 2019 game's Super Move (forward, circle motion back to forward + Strong Slash + Kick) can only be used once and extremely predictable, requiring you to properly set it up (as a punish for a really long whiff, or after a successful weapon deflect). If you actually manage to land that, behold the spectacle of said move as it eats up the health of the enemy bar, nearing to three quarters of it. | |

Chainmail Bikini: Charlotte has the breastplate, what may be gloves, and what once looked like armored (if heeled) boots that seem to turn a bit sexier in later games. Neinhalt Sieger is a more masculine example, bearing one (HUGE) gauntlet and greaves and kneepads. Torso protection? His big bare Teutonic chest. | |

| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_9c495599 | comment |
Hide Your Children: A literal use comes into play with one of the installments: a couple of kids attempt to play in the streets of a largely abandoned village complete with the SS3/4 Empathic Environment right before a match. A lady (presumably their mother) quickly comes in and gets them to run off. Good move. | |

Basara also got time-travelling abilities that allowed him to appear in Samurai Shodown V, and also serve as basis of his endings in V and VI. Nakoruru's appearance in The King of Fighters XIV is stated as Canon. She travels to actual era to stop Verse, a being created from eternal negative energy and thrives from the darkness of people's wishes. Within its being, it traps numerous fighters' souls from many ages, including Mizuki Rashoujin. | |

Mizuki's stage qualifies as well, seeing how its located in the Mt.Osore entrance to Demon World (Osore Zan Hell in SNK translation), and is filled with bizarre visuals. in SSIV, either combatant reaching low health transforms the background into muted colors emblazoned with an image, symbolizing desperation. | |

Meteor Move | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_a3823742 | comment |
Meteor Move: Hanzo Hattori and Galford from Samurai Shodown also have a "grab your opponent, leap up and slam his head into the ground" move. Unusual because, at least in the first game, the Mighty Glacier types didn't have any throws or grabs outside the basic ones, but these two lightweight Ninja did. And could leap into the air with all but the biggest one of them. Kusaregedo has own version of such grab, where he jumps with opponent in air, and then falls knee pressing their head against the ground. This is the most damaging command grab amongst 2D titles, and deals 40% damage. | |

Finishing Move | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_a43a691b | comment |
Finishing Move: Under special circumstances, Samurai Shodown IV and V Special allow the winning player to perform an unique fatality-like move on the opponent (those are often gory) - while conditions were never mentioned anywhere in-game). Most of games also allow generic finishers, where some slashes can actually bisect or cause High-Pressure Blood to erupt. - although characters with blunt weapons have no access to dismembering generic finishers, and only can do a "wall slam" finish. Also, suicide motion allows characters to perform a fatality on themselves - in IV, V and V Special. | |

The Nakoruru-centric OAV also hints that, if Nakoruru ever got married, much misfortune would follow. It happened to Nakoruru's parents, after all. But we don't know if said OAV is 100% canon or not... | |

Hitbox Dissonance | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_a5e998f0 | comment |
Hitbox Dissonance: Hattori Hanzo's super in Samurai Shodown III had a hitbox that stuck around nearly a second after the actual explosion. Worse, it did not combo with the rest of the attack, meaning that a person who blocked the attack could let off the block a moment too early, and end up taking the full brunt of it anyway. Most of hitboxes in that game heavily suffered from lack of testing. Another case would be Bust Galford in the same game, who possesses a move that can be performed either with or without his weapon. When he has his weapon its a moderately damaging attack, but when he's unarmed, it becomes the second strongest move in the game that isn't a Rage super as not only does it do massive damage but it also has a ridiculous amount of hitstun that allows you to chain the move into itself until you win or stun the other fighter if it's not blocked. | |

Healing Factor | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
Healing Factor: Yuga and Hanmen no Asura can heal on their own. In Samurai Shodown IV and Asura Zanmaden, all characters can recover a part of life while they delay their get up from ground. Samurai Shodown VI offers this only for console-version exclusive "Animal Spirit" groove. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning: Asura's eyes become red when he is raged. One of Shiki's eyes becomes red when she is partially under Yuga's control, and when she becomes Han-In to nari shi Shiki (full Yuga's control) both of her eyes become red. Yuda, Mikoto, Tohma and Oboro are permanently red-eyed. | |

Evil Weapon | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_abbe5875 | comment |
Evil Weapon: Can't get more evil than Asura's Seven Ancient Weapons, which are forms taken by demon lords that rule over seven deadly sins. Also backstory of Genjuro's weapon reveals that his sword drove its wielder into killing frenzy and could make him insane (the swordsmith being the first victim), and it traveled from person to person causing various accidents, and was feared as cursed blade. Oboro's weapons are said to be inhabited by evil spirits. Mikoto's and Rasetsumaru's weapons are classified as cursed weapons as well. Mikoto's was given to her by Oboro, and Rasetsumaru (as demon) probably brought his sword from Hell Both male and female Deku have swords similar in style to Asura's and Oboro's weapons (same ornaments and eye inscriptions), most likely being of hellish origin as well. | |

Blue Blood | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_abe4d7b | comment |
Blue Blood: A few of the characters would be counted as nobility in both the Eastern and Western senses — Asian characters: Yoshitora is the scion of the governing Tokugawa Shogunate and is therefore the highest-ranking Japanese character. Next in rank would be Gaoh, who as a regional governor or daimyo is analogous to an English Duke or Earl. Next come samurai like Jubei Yagyu and Yashamaru, who are analogous to the English knightly class. Of the Chinese characters, Wu-Ruixiang is the noted descendant of the venerable Wu family, was born in Beijing's Palace (the Forbidden City) and works directly for the Emperor himself. Wan-fu is noted as being a descendant of ancient Han the Imperial family, and is therefore almost royalty. Western characters: Charlotte is noted as a minor French noble, and is likely therefore titled Chevaleresse de Colde (Lady de Colde). Neinhalt Sieger is a member of the Prussian Red Knights and is therefore titled Ritter, which is analogous to a baron, baronet or knight. | |

Moveset Clone | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_b5439b51 | comment |
Moveset Clone: Heavily Played With through the whole series: Headswapped characters are common through the earlier games, but they usually fall to Divergent Character Evolution: Hanzo / Galford in the first game, Nakoruru / Rimururu in III and Kazuki / Sogetsu in IV note Cham Cham has Tam Tam's moveset via Paku Paku, but this falls under Composite Character . The Shura / Rasetsu mechanic introduced in III inverts this, as it gives every character (except the bosses) two different movesets note In IV's storyline, there are two separate Amakusa. The 3D 64 duology further reinforces Divergent Character Evolution: most headswaps now are completely different characters, and some Shura / Rasetsu modes are so different that they count as new characters both in gameplay and story. This trope is played straight with Kuroko and the two Deku, though. Every Warriors Rage (Playstation) hidden character is a clone of the 11 initial ones, although they all have new storylines, voices and basic moves. There are three caregories: Boss characters that are mostly unique note Tohma, Mikoto and Kuno, standard clones that share the exact same special moves note Minto, Daruma, Tashon Mao, Mugenji and Yuda. Both NPC Oboro weapons count as these, and Player Mooks that lack all special attacks note Ninja, Samurai, Bandit, Amazon. V / Zero and VI / Tenkaichi Kenkakuden end with the Shura / Rasetsu mechanic. While most characters lose moves or get them all, some Rasetsu modes are turned into new characters based on side characters: Suija, Enjanote Based on Samurai Shodown 64-2 characters, but their gameplay is based on SS4 Rasetsu modes, Reranote From Nakoruru: Ano Hito kara no Okurimono, Rasetsumarunote Original character, and Kim Ung Chenote Gaira from Fighters Swords, III's korean port. Old Rasetsu Nakoruru and Galford are hidden characters in Samurai Shodown VI. V / Zero's midbosses are head swaps of Genjuro and Ukyo with original gameplay, but in VI they're given movesets to be more similar to their III / IV Rasetsu equivalents - especially Yumeji, whose moveset is completely changed. VI / Tenkaichi Kenkakuden's final boss, Makai Gaoh, acts as Gaoh's Super Mode. The home port has EX modes for SSV's four new characters that gives them movesets closer to their first appearance. In Edge of Destiny / Sen, clone characters are similar to early Soul Calibur's ones in that they share a large part of their moveset but mingle it. Takechiyo, Suzuhime, Angelica and Draco note Draco has no clone, though are the only true new characters, every other new character is a clone of them or of returning characters - the first three headswaps of the franchise still are clones of each other. | |

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Genjuro Kibagami, who is always angry, has an intense rivalry with Haohmaru, and is just a sociopath in general. The only time he ever seems to enjoy himself at all is when he's cutting someone to shreds. Also, Wan-fu, a gigantic Chinese royal who believes the path of the sword is "Possessing absolute power to crush his enemies." His character bio states he can kill a tiger in under three seconds, and that he insists he has no flaws and idolizes no one. | |

Since the PS game is the last in series storyline-wise, it could be said that was until Edge of Destiny's Sugamata Jinbei. Said PS game also had generic characters named "Samurai". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The alien of the Alien franchise can be found being cooked in a pot in Gen-An's Samurai Shodown 2 stage. Apparently creators thought it was not enough, and used him as main mascot of Yuga - who has some alien-based symbolics (can be found on her 1st boss form clothes and on some arenas), and in her 2nd and 3rd boss forms she has an Alien growing out of her back (with his head growing from the back of Yuga's humanoid head and their mouth movements being synchronized). Earthquake bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Heart from Fist of the North Star. Basara the Executioner's appearance is very similar to that of Eric Draven, as is his backstory. The King of Prussia in Sieger's stage watches the fight while being flanked by a pair of Imperial Royal Guards. Ukyo is based off Sasaki Kojiro, but details from his fashion sense to weapon of choice seem more inspired by Ishikawa Goemon XIII. The opening line for a few of the games (“Bushido to wa shinu koto to mitsuketari”) originates from The Hagakure. What follows appears to be pseudophilosophy or something about shura and rasetsu (oh, and it’s a little different between some of the games). Amakusa's in game appearance is directly based off his looks in Samurai Reincarnation. Some of the character designers from Ninja Scroll worked on Samurai Shodown, and it shows: Dakuan could be easily confused for Caffeine Nicotine. Kibagami Jubei's name comes from Kibagami Genjuro and Yagyu Jubei. Mujuro is reminiscient of Tachibana Ukyo and of course has the same gimmick as Zatoichi. Benisato shares similarities with Shiki from Samurai Shodown 64. Yurimaru is sorta similar to Amakusa in a way. Shijima = Basara, although he didn't appear until 2 years later in Samurai Shodown 3. Genma, whose mechanical arm makes him a clear predecessor to Sieger. Kazuki, Enja Kazuki, and Enja are all considered nods to Dragon Ball, based on immediately recognizable looks, haircut and powers (giant fireballs anyone?). In most of his appearances, Kazuki even had a Goku-like alternative palette (black hair, orange outfit), and his upgrade to Enja Kazuki (later the separate character Enja) featured a color change to blonde — a nod to the Super Saiyan change. Interestingly, Suija's third palette (black hair, brown pants) in Samurai Shodown V Special became widely known as the "Raditz palette" among Japanese fans, again due to certain similarities with that character. | |

Elemental Punch: Samurai Shodown 2 had Wan-fu channel flame through his weapon. Which might be a bit of overkill, since the weapon involved is a huge stone pillar. Galford, Enja and Suija are all subjects of this trope as well. | |

Numbered Sequels | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_cdb965a9 | comment |
Numbered Sequels: All seven of the 2D Samurai Shodown games received consecutive numbers from II to VI (plus V Special) for their English-language releases. The original Japanese releases of each game had a variation of the original Samurai Spirits title and some were prequels. Still, Samurai Shodown V is known in Japan as Samurai Spirits Zero. The fictional chronology of the 2D titles goes like this: V, I, III, IV, and II; with VI being set in an alternate universe with all the characters from the previous games. Thus, all the numbered sequels after II were really prequels in terms of plot. | |

Magnet Hands: Characters can drop their weapons only after being hit by certain moves, although they are just stuck in the ground and can be picked up quickly. however the fast paced, high-damage nature of the game means that if this happens, only a skilled player will be able to escape painful. In most of 3D titles, characters cant drop their weapons at all. | |

Yamato Nadeshiko: Galford's preference for these (and, conversely, Kyoshiro's desire for Gorgeous Gaijins) is All There in the Manual (Haohmaru and Ukyo like these too! Haohmaru's girlfriend Oshizu and Ukyou's lady of liege Kei Odagiri hit every single part of the trope). Among the female characters, the closest to a Yamato Nadeshiko would be Nakoruru, in a Cute Bruiser / The Beast Master way (and guess what, she's the girl Galford REALLY fell for). Despite of their Stripperific attires, Iroha and her rival Tsunami are also this. Namino is also a male example. | |

| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_d4fb3e83 | comment |
Sword and Fist: Although it’s absolutely a weapons-based fighter, everyone of the (non-boss) characters in the cast can be disarmed and fight bare-handed. Some fighters are better than others — Haohmaru, Darli and Yoshitora have specific punch-based attacks — but other characters (like Ruixiang) merely slap and flail helplessly at the opponent. | |

Guest Fighter | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_d687ba2a | comment |
Guest Fighter: 2019 saw the first crossover fighter in the series: the Warden from Ubisoft's For Honor. Another character, this time from Tencent's Honor of Kings universe, was added as post-Season 2 free DLC. Season 3 features the addition of Hibiki Takane as a playable character, which is the first guest from SNK's own character library. She's joined by Baiken from Guilty Gear as the last character of Season 3. And it goes the other way around as well. Haohmaru is a Season 2 fighter for Soul Calibur VI while Ukyo and Nakoruru joined the roster of AFK Arena. | |

Scarf of Asskicking | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_d88faed2 | comment |
Scarf of Asskicking: Both Hanzo and Galford of Samurai Shodown wear scarves. The scarves were short in the first two games, but when SNK redrew their sprites for Samurai Shodown III, they became long tripping hazards. In 3D games Galford's normal model lacks scarf though, and in Samurai Spirits Asura Zanmaden, Rasetsu Galford has short scarf again (possibly to show that Hanzo is the more experienced ninja). In same fashion, Hanzo's sons wear short scarves in his Samurai Shodown VI ending, while he wears a long one. Talking about scarf hierarchy right here. | |

Weapons Kitchen Sink: Unless you can tell me how a rapier is going to parry a longsword, bastard sword, greatsword, kusarigama, naginata, and HUGE STONE PILLAR, it fits. Or perhaps you'd like to watch Andrew Jackson block a shot from a sledgehammer with his rifle? Or maybe a Cat Girl using a boomerang to block a polearm is more your flavor. Run (your opponent through with) what you brung. | |

Cute Monster Girl / Cat Girl: Cham-Cham, Tam-Tam's little sister. How much is her outfit and how much is real is hard to tell. What doesn't help is she tends to scratch for fleas at times. And asks the Kuroko referee 'Is it OK in this direction?' when doing so. Also expanded to her "cat friends" in some of the spin-offs. | |

Breakout Character: Nakoruru, Iroha and Cham-Cham, who are the only Samurai Shodown characters to get their own spinoff games. Nakoruru deserves a special mention that since the beginning, she broke out so well that she's considered a nation-wide top Moe character. Not only that, she's also the first character to enter The King of Fighters storyline proper in XIV. | |

Precision-Guided Boomerang | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_ddc15c81 | comment |
Precision-Guided Boomerang: Cham Cham has one of these as her primary melee weapon (her heavy slash is basically to toss it about a metre in front of her). This actually makes it one of the best projectiles in the game, since it will plow through and disrupt all but a few other projectiles in the game: it can't destroy other melee weapons, and some projectiles escape just by not being where the boomerang goes. And it always returns, even while she's being grappled and pummelled. "Oh! How dangerous a boomerang is!" Shizumaru can do the same with his umbrella, and such "physical" projectile destroys other projectiles it encounters in same fashion as Cham Cham's. Mikoto can do the same with her pudao-like weapon. Magic sphere which appears in Mizuki's super move, moves in a boomerang fashion as well. | |

Updated Re-release: Samurai Shodown V Special introduces new backdrops, a new interface, various character and mechanic rebalances, a different roster, re-added death scenes and introduced the infamous Zetsumei Ougi to counterbalance a certain game-breaking mechanic in the original V. V Special had its own updated rerelease called Samurai Shodown V Perfect, which added new endings and fixed some of the previous game's bugs. Developed by Yuki, this actually made it as far as one arcade location test before SNK pulled the plug. Luckily, the director kept a copy of the ROM allowing SNK to release it years later as part of the Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection. | |

Optional Boss | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_e0606d52 | comment |
Also starting with 2 was the "intrusion character" mechanic, where an Optional Boss may occur depending on various play conditions. The most infamous is Kuroko, who will hint that you have the potential to do his fight by commenting personally in matches afterwards, but his conditions are both doable (defeat certain later opponents without losing a round and with a super move in under 20 seconds), and random (he can pop out after any opponent if he really feels like it). And he can be a playthrough stopper by sheer nature of being an SNK Boss. Actually playing as Kuroko also required a secret cheat code on a very specific regional release of the Neo Geo CD version. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_e0c00a95 | comment |
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Cham Cham's boomerang. SNK explains that the boomerang was carved from an "iron tree" that grows in Green Hell (Cham Cham's village). Even more absurd are Gaira's giant prayer beads, Wan-fu's stone pillar and Nicotine's monk staff. Also of note is the intro to the first game in the series (see the quote underneath the page image). Haohmaru meditates, then suddenly draws his sword and makes a Diagonal Cut through two stone lamp posts and a two-foot thick tree. | |

Turns Red | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_e3ab9e00 | comment |
The POW bar is filled with the damage received and when it's full, the character makes an angry pose and their skin turns red, allowing them to perform a Desperation Move: unlike most fighters, performing one doesn't instantly empty out the POW meter and if they miss with their DM, they can keep trying until the bar empties on its own or they connect with the DM. Also used in Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium, in which the K-Groove is based on this game series (plus the "Just Defend" ability from Garou: Mark of the Wolves). | |

Being the child of Ukyo's mentor and having the same school that him (as well being a semi-Head Swap in-game), V's Sub-Boss Yumeji Kurokouchi can also performs this lethal Meteor Move as Ukyo. | |

Gonk: Gen-An Shiranui is so terrifically ugly that it is impossible to even tell his species. (He's not a tengu, and he's not an oni, but he definitely isn't human...), who somehow managed to get a hot wife. There's also obese Texan ninja Earthquake, and then there's Kusaregedo, who's uglier than Gen-An and Earthquake combined (thats while his design was based on aforementioned two characters). Mai Shiranui sometimes is named as Gen-An's descendant, but according to SNK, they just share family name and are not related. Additionally, Mai kills Gen-An in his Samurai Shodown 1 ending (retconned to Ayame, Galford and Earthquake's mentor). | |

| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_e5d37e0f | comment |
The 3D 64 duology further reinforces Divergent Character Evolution: most headswaps now are completely different characters, and some Shura / Rasetsu modes are so different that they count as new characters both in gameplay and story. This trope is played straight with Kuroko and the two Deku, though. | |

Death Dealer: Genjuro Kibagami can fling cards as projectiles. These (as well as most of his theme) are from hanafuda, rather than the Western tarot-derivative deck. | |

Magic Realism | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_e6ab61d | comment |
Magic Realism: The series' setting. The games are set in a heightened version of the late 1700s. Realistic weaponry, real-world historical characters, nations in their historic forms etc are depicted pretty much as they were in life, though this is combined with a good deal of supernatural elements — Youkai, magic powers/weapons, animal transformations, fictional countries.....and Chample, are also present. | |

Mind over Matter: All of Yuga's melee attacks directly attack the opponent by transcending space, similarly to telekinesis. Mikoto (who is possessed by Yuga) can telekinetically toss her weapon in various trajectories across the stage. Suija seemingly uses telekinesis in his fatality, although this can be explained by his water powers used to manipulate opponent's body water. | |

Evil Twin | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_f2dadf81 | comment |
Evil Twin: Rasetsumaru (Haohmaru), Enja (Kazama Kazuki), Suija (Kazama Sogetsu), and Rera (Nakoruru) In III, IV, 64 and its sequel playable characters have "Shura" (Asura, localized as Slash) and "Rasetsu" (Rakshasa, localized as Bust) modes. The "rasetsu" modes are the "heel" versions (either more evil, bloodthirsty, or using forbidden techniques), while "shura" modes are basically everyday "face" versions of characters. This was done to add more variety to gameplay and increase number of characters without need to draw new sprites. Warriors Rage (PS), V and later do not have these modes, but Rasetsumaru (based on Rasetsu Haohmaru) and Rera (based on Rasetsu Nakoruru) became separate characters instead. Subverted by Hanmen no Asura who is a (standalone character) Good Twin to Asura, while serving as his "Rasetsu" version in game's roster. | |

Villainous Glutton: Earthquake from Samurai Shodown is a tremendously large and fat ninja, who is actually rather agile. Kusaregedo is even bigger and fatter Youkai. | |

Ambidextrous Sprite | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_f5a22215 | comment |
Ambidextrous Sprite: Genjuro has a diagonal scar on his back. Yagyu Jubei has an eyepatch. They flip when the characters turn around. That's not the worst of it. Haohmaru doesn't look as bad as some others (two-handed grip can just shift). One-handed weapon wielders (Charlotte, Cham Cham, Ukyo) can be handwaved by saying they're holding it in their other hand. Some two-handed wielders can get away with this too. Then there's Gen'an and Neinhalt Sieger, with their huge GLOVE weapons. Those..don't switch that easily... The worst offender is Youkai Kusaregedo. He has presumably eaten off his own right forearm, leaving only a big, sharp bone as his weapon. This arm, of course, switches sides when he turns around. Even with 3D graphics this continues. Baiken's missing arm and eye in the 2019 game flip depending on which side she stands on, same as in Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-. The eye is especially noteworthy since it serves no functional purpose to flip sides but does anyway to maintain a 2D sprite-like effect (compare this to someone like Sagat from Street Fighter IV, which no longer had his aesthetic asymmetries flip once the series moved to 3D graphics). | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In all the games in the series, it's possible to "accidentally" kill an enemy by using the right attack on the right part of their sprite as a finisher, usually cutting them cleanly in half. Samurai Shodown IV introduced actual fatalities which were messier. In most games in the series, Nakoruru (the Nature-Loving Girl) and Rimururu (her younger sister) were immune to any death effects. In V Special onward, however, the girls can now be killed. They have been given their own death animations and screams, and they can be sliced in half◊ or into even smaller pieces◊. All the female characters in future versions of the game can also be killed, and frequently expose their undergarments or body parts as they die. | |

Shoo Out the Clowns | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_f97b5d33 | comment |
Shoo Out the Clowns: When Samurai Shodown III came around, SNK decided they wanted a "darker" atmosphere. This resulted in drastic redesigns for most of the characters (Large Ham Kabuki actor Senryo Kyoshiro apparently Took a Level in Badass), and the removal of the more light-hearted characters, including Genan, Cham Cham and her brother Tam Tam, Caffeine Nicotine, Yagyu Jubei (?!) and Charlotte. Samurai Shodown IV came around and added some of them back in, and by Samurai Shodown VI, the entire cast of 2D games has been reunited. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Samurai Shodown (Video Game) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: Literally - Yuda's design. Like Sephiroth, he has single black wing over his shoulder (when its not visible, he has black wing tattoo there isntead), has similar design of shoulder pads on straps, he also has very long sword, and in his ending he grows a number of white wings aside of single black wing - akin to Safer Sephiroth. Also, inscription on his official artwork reads "Angel of Death - One-Winged Death God - Yuda" (?????????????, Shi no Tenshi ? Katayoku no Shinigami ? Yuda), which is a throwback to Sephiroth's music theme "One-Winged Angel (?????, Katayoku no Tenshi), which is a trope namer. Each of the seven demon lords that serve him (as Seven Ancient Weapons) also has a single black wing. Asura's design also shares few throwbacks to Sephiroth, being tall, long-haired man in a black leather outfit, wielding very long sword, and although his hair is black, it turns white in rage. Regarding actual application of this trope (final forms of bosses), Yuga has 2nd and 3rd form in Asura Zanmaden, while Gaoh can transform into Dark Emperor in Samurai Shodown V. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: All of the male characters, even the very young Shizumaru, can be cut into pieces in Samurai Shodown 3 but all of the female characters are immune. In the first Samurai Shodown 64 game, female fighters do not have a cinematic for being cleaved in two. In Warriors Rage, gender has no bearing on who can be bisected. | |
