* [[The Remnant]]: In ''Samurai Heroes'', Mitsunari Ishida is continuing in the name of Hideyoshi. More explicitly, Oichi leads the "Oda Remnant" forces. Or rather the Oda Remnants forcefully pulled Oichi back from her sleep and had her become their figurehead. Also, Sorin's faction is apparently all that's left of Xavi's converts.

* [[Serial Escalation]]: This game ''revels'' in its crazy fighting game action. For example, Masamune wields six swords. Not bad to start with, however this obviously just wasn't enough, so one of his alternate weapons has three blades to each hilt, making a grand total of ''18'' swords. How's that eh?
