The plot of the Samurai Shodown series has always been more abusive, but I don't know if everyone notices that all the villains that appear in the game, even the cruel boss, have the possibility of being whitewashed.
In fact, when SNK first created Samurai Shodown, it did not expect that there would be so many sequels in the later stage. Many of the characters' plots ended during the True Samurai Shodown period, resulting in subsequent versions having to change the timeline. It is also because of this that many players say that they do not understand the timeline of Samurai Shodown at all.
There have been some impressive villains in the "Samurai Shodown" throughout the ages, they are murderous and vicious, everyone kills quickly, but they can't die in the plot. On the contrary, it was whitewashed in the subsequent plot.
From the beginning of the original to the present, almost all bosses have been whitewashed.
Amakusa Shiro Shisada
Amakusa and Shizumi are both people who have been declared dead a long time ago, and it was the Dark God who resurrected them in order to create an opportunity for themselves to descend to earth.
Amakusa is the first boss to appear in the Samurai Shodown series, and he was resurrected through the body of Hattori Hanzo's son. Since then, he has been preparing for the coming of the Dark God. In the original Galfort's ending, Amakusa's soul was liberated after the bead was cut, and it turned out that he had always been controlled.
All indications are that Amakusa is not really evil at heart, and he thanks Galfort for saving himself from the clutches of the devil.
During the Samurai Shodown IV period, Amakusa had already divided into good and evil sides, and the form of the evil side was destroyed when the red man broke the seal, but the good side was retained.
The plot progresses to the time of True Samurai Shodown, and with the help of Amakusa Yoshimi, Overlord Maru successfully destroys the Hell Shrine. Amakusa, who had completed his mission, returned Makoto's body to Hattori Hanzo and awakened his son Makoto at the expense of Hattori Hanzo's wife.
In samurai shodown RPG, Amakusa is successfully transformed by Tenji. Although this plot is not from the orthodox work of the fighting version, it still has considerable reference value.
Nongwu Moon Chopper Red Lang
The only boss in the game who is not directly related to the Dark God, his blackening is completely due to the "Infinite Stream" going crazy.
During samurai shodown 3, he appeared in the manga, and was also killed by Kazumaru in this work, and was buried by Hanagi-in. However, he was dug up by Amakusa and forcibly resurrected, and controlled and absorbed his power through the wind leaf moon.
The Red Lang who broke through the seal again had a strength that was unmatched in the world, and was almost invincible in the world.
Cho Hong Lang has slaughtered many people, and even several villages have been directly slaughtered, and the crimes committed seem to be irreparable. However, Overlord Maru finds his daughter: Shiori.
Obviously, he had transformed into a ghost, but the depths of his consciousness began to resist this force. As his daughter called out, Cho Hong Lang began to wake up
Chopper Red Lang: "Well done, Ayameshimaru, thank you for defeating the ghost body." My daughter Shiori, please forgive me. My hands are covered in blood! ”
Shiori: "Father, it's over, please, will you go back with me?" Shiori needs you very much! ”
Chopping Red Lang, with humanity, he is no longer a ghost, and the future will be a long journey of atonement.
At this point, the chopper was whitewashed!
The first to cut off Sharo
The reason why the first beheading of Sharo transformed into a ghost was caused by the slaughtering village of the red lang.
In the original plot, when the red lang slaughtered the village, he killed Sha luo and his newlywed wife Bonfire, and under the influence of the dark power of amakusa, the resentful resurrected him became a ghost and became a ghost messenger that everyone feared. For many years, he has been struggling to find his wife killer.
However, after actually finding the Red Lang, even if the head of the ghost is decapitated, Sharo is still not an opponent.
It wasn't until samurai shodown that The First Slasher discovered the truth, and it turned out that the bonfire was not killed by The Red Lang.
At that time, when the red lang slaughtered the village, the excited head beheading Sha luo suddenly ran away, killing the bonfire in a confused situation. After this, Cho Hong Lang killed him. Only now did he remember the past
The soul of the campfire told him that he had never blamed him, and only hoped that Broken Sharo would be able to let go of his attachment and killing.
However, to this day, he could not turn back, and he could not face all this, and could only linger on this Shura Path.
The campfire reappeared, and I only hoped that Sharo would no longer hate
The remnant soul redeems itself and eventually dissipates between heaven and earth
Reckless red dust, who will steal Shaoguang for exchange, people or souls, but a touch of pond lotus shadow
Luo will god
The god Luo and the American Ji may have been one and the same.
Luo Will Shen Shui Ji, is the complete villain of the game, after signing a contract with the Dark God, all he thinks about is to resurrect the Dark God. The dark forces of the human world are all spread by her
Mizuhime had no possibility of whitewashing, and remained evil until she was destroyed. The American Ji who was possessed by her was awakened after the disappearance of the dark power, but she retained the memory of the God Luo, which was also a kind of whitewashing!
I don't know the Fire Illusion Temple
The "little bastard" who has always wanted to be the boss of the demon world was killed by the Overlord Pill in the first generation because of his many evil deeds. However, after being resurrected by the God Of Arabje during the True Samurai Shodown period, he was much more honest.
Later, he was indoctrinated by Hanagi-in and Naka, and practiced under the door for a while, and the demonic nature was eliminated by more than half. Eventually his wife bore him a perfect human child.
earthquake
It was a rogue of this era, similar to Wansan96. Go everywhere to steal, rob and dig for treasure.
In his spare time, he will also make a cameo appearance as a killer and collect money to do things. The earthquake team encountered the Overlord Pill on the way to steal, and after being taught a harsh lesson, they were honest a lot, although they still had to do some stealing chickens and dogs, but they were no longer evil.
Youkai rotting outside the way
This is a "person" who can never be whitewashed, and even if SNK dares to forcibly whitewash him, the player will not forgive him.
Because he touched the bottom line of mankind, he actually ate his daughter who was already pregnant, that is, he ate his daughter and his grandson together. Just to satisfy the appetite.
In the era of the demon-infested shogunate, many people became feared monsters because of the invasion of demonic qi. The Yokai Rotten Outer Path is one of them.
In fact, before the invasion of demonic qi, the rotten outer path was still a little human, and the people who ate it were all evil people. But as his appetite grew, he became less picky eater and eventually became a monster in the true sense of the word.
In the end, hunger became his biggest concern. After getting used to eating all kinds of humans, he found that the taste of the little girl was the most delicious. As soon as Samurai Shodown V opens, it is the scene where he hunts down Androm lulu.
Seeing that Lim Lulu was about to be eaten
The daughter of the youkai suddenly appeared and begged him to spare the little girl.
"Father... Even if I become a frightening monster, for me, my father is still the same as before, so gentle and excellent, always been........"
Looking at his daughter, he seemed to have a touch in his heart. We thought he was going to be whitewashed, but this guy was completely dehumanized. After learning that her daughter already had a baby, he forcibly ate her.
With a "I'm going to eat!" "The yokai rotting outer path can never be whitewashed."
Dark God
We have always been curious, what kind of creature is this dark god, why did it cost so much to come to the human world? Was it sealed before?
The Dark God belongs to the people of the Demon Realm, and the two worlds have not been opened. In the plot of Samurai Shodown 64, the Dark God does not come from this world, and Yuga, the Serpent of Time and Space, is his loyal subordinate.
He is the real boss behind the Samurai Shodown series, the root of all evil. However, in the Samurai Shodown RPG, it is whitewashed, according to Hezhong's description, the Dark God is actually human resentment, inferiority, jealousy, hatred... and other negative emotions are generated.
After half a day, the biggest enemy of mankind is not the Dark God, but the control of his emotions!
