* [[Soul Series/Characters/Soul Edge|Soul Edge]]

* [[Soul Series/Characters/Soul Calibur|Soul Calibur]]

 

----

 

Origin - ''Unable to determine due to his ability to reincarnate''

 

* [[Master of Illusion]]: In ''IV'', his encounters with Siegfried, Kilik, and Algol has Zasalamel create illusory copies of people dear to those characters (Siegfried's father Frederick, Kilik's adoptive sister Xianglian, and Algol's son Arcturus) just to spite them for no reason.

* [[The Middle East]]: It's likely he may originally be [[wikipedia:Babylonia|Babylonian,]] judging by the names of his attacks being named after figures of Babylonian myth and legend: Ereshkigal, Nergal, Shamash, Tiamat, etc. This also fits with him originally being a member of Algol's cult, who is himself inspired by the hero king Gilgamesh, and therefore likely originates from the pre-Babylonian (occupying the same region) ''Sumerian'' civilization.

* [[Resurrective Immortality]]: Zasalamel masterminded the events of III for the express purpose of [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|curing]] himself of this.

* [[Scary Black Man]]

** Averted in ''Soulcalibur IV'', in which he suddenly ''wants'' [[Living Forever Is Awesome|to live forever because he saw a vision of the modern world and felt the urge to live again.]]

 

Origin - ''Bird of Passage Assassins Guild, Europe''

 

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Her default outfit in ''Soulcalibur III''. It's a wonder her boobs don't slip out or get bruised.

** Then again, her default outfits in ''IV'' also qualify. ''V'''s wouldn't, but her shirt is completely torn apart, so it counts.

* [[The Starscream]]

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* [[Underboobs]]: Formerly provided the trope picture.

* [[Villainous Harlequin]]: Arguably.

 

Origin - ''Raised in Japan''

 

*** {{spoiler|While training Patroklos, she advised him to not give in to dark desires such as revenge, as she was once consumed by that same drive in the past, implying that she did get over her vengeance after defeating Mitsurugi and saw something of her younger self in Patroklos.}}

 

Origin - ''Rouen, French Empire''

 

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

Origin - ''Unknown (An ancient civilization)''

 

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: He fought Edge Master to a draw, and can see Edge Master's influence in Kilik's style. The only person he's considered as approaching worthy since then was Mitsurugi.

 

Origin - ''Chaos''

 

{{quote|Voiced By: [[Hiroshi Tsuchida]] (Japanese), [[Keith Silverstein]] (English)}}

 

 

* [[Body Horror]]: He looks like a decaying body with a hole in its chest...

* [[Power Echoes]]

 

Origin - ''Chaos''

 

A [[What If]] character intended to show Nightmare's [[One-Winged Angel|ultimate form]] after he merged both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur with itself. While the character itself never came to be (well, canonically, anyways), his design was the base for Nightmare's ''SCIV'' form, possibly to show he's approaching [[Power Levels|that magnitude of power]] all by himself. {{spoiler|''The New Legends Of Project Soul'' confirms it is canon and THE most powerful entity in the Soul Calibur universe - not even [[That One Boss|Algol]] tangles with it.}}

 

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|As of the ''Soulcalibur V'' artbook, yes.}}

* [[Eye Beams]]: A [[Game Breaker|full screen flying-out-of-range variation]].

* [[True Final Boss]]

 

Origin - ''Unknown''

 

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Receiving end, see above.

 

Origin - ''Japan''

 

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Greed.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Miser. She also wields shuriken.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Both of them.

* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]/[[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Miser.

* [[The Rival]]: To each other as well as Yoshimitsu. They are respectively "Number Four" and "Number Five" in their organization of thieves.

 

Origin - ''Venice, Republic of Venice (Italy) / Xian, Ming Empire (China) / Kiev, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Ukraine)''

 

* [[Simple Staff]]: Hualin. Her weapon is able [[Telephone Polearm|to grow to mammoth proportions]]. It's based on the staff from ''[[Journey to the West]]'', which could change length and width (see also, [[Dragon Ball|Goku's Power Pole]]).

 

Origin - ''Chronicles of the Sword''

 

From an [[Alternate Universe]] known as Chronicles of the Sword. All bosses within said mode, [[Defeat Means Friendship|some later]] [[Heel Face Turn|reedemed]] to [[Defeat Means Playable|become units of the player]].

 

While not an "official" character and lacking a move-set, KOS-MOS makes a cameo in the character creation mode, where she can be created with the "type-x" parts.
