Line 28:
* [[Affably Evil]]: Genan, who boasts of becoming the Demon King (King of Evil in SNK translation). Yet at the end of the day, he's just a disfigured oni-like creature with a glove inspired by Freddy Krueger, with a loving wife and kids he even brings with to work. See his ending in Samurai Shodown VI.
* [[Age-Appropriate Angst]]: Shizumaru, Mina
* [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Karakuri Hanma, since it runs amok some time after being created.
* [[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]: 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).
* [[Alien Blood]]: Deku and Yuga have teal blood.
Line 228:
* [[Enigmatic Minion]]: Draco, although it may be explained by Golba simply hiring him.
* [[Epic Flail]]: If we're going to count kusarigama, then Earthquake should be here. With a justified reason why the blunt head at the end of the chain is as big as a normal person's head—so are his fists.
* [[Episode Zero: theThe Beginning]]: ''Samurai Spirits Zero''
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: [[Love Martyr|Ukyo.]] [[Badass Back|Ukyo,]] [[Implausible Fencing Powers|Ukyo,]] [[Incurable Cough of Death|Ukyo,]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Ukyo,]] '''''[[Bishonen|UKYO.]]'''''
** [[Word of God]] says Genjuro and Sieger were designed to leave a lasting impression on female players.
Line 492:
* [[Noble Demon]]: Look Genan's Samurai Shodown VI ending.
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Charlotte, Yuga, Aku Mikoto, and, disturbingly to a greater extent, Amakusa.
* [[No Export for You]]: The US version of the X-box 360 port of Samurai_Shodown: Edge of Destiny is canceled the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] version is still coming eventually for what info we still have.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Samurai from ''Warriors Rage'' (PS).
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Mamahaha to Nakoruru, Shikuru to Purple Nakoruru/Rera, Poppy to Galford, Paku Paku to Cham Cham, unnamed frog to Genjuro, Maju to Mizuki, Haon to Mizuki & Bizuki, Konru to Rimururu, Tetsunosuke to Rinka, Champuru to Mina. Most of those animals are even playable separately, in latter games.
Line 610:
* [[Sealed Badass in a Can]]: (Ma)Gaoh in Demon World. Until he decided to went [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]].
* [[Sealed Good in a Can]]: Rimururu for about 20 years and Yunfei for 1000 years.
* [[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can]]: Dark Emperor inside Yunfei.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: At least at some point in storyline: Ambrosia, Amakusa, Mizuki, Zankuro, Yuga, Asura, Dark Emperor, Enja, Suija.
* [[Secret Circle of Secrets]]: servants of Ambrosia and Yuga fall into this category.
Line 627:
* [[Shizuka Ito]]: Voiced Mizuki Rashoujin in Samurai Shodown 5 Special.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Galford can access lightning powers via ninjutsu, while Nicotine, Taizan and Yuga do this via spells. Since Hanmen no Asura is more [[Badass]], he calls on powers of anger of thunder Ramiel instead.
* [[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 Inin 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.
* [[Shoryuken]]: Part of characters has such anti-air moves, for example [[Ryu and Ken]] style Haohmaru's and Genjuro's anti air moves - while Wan-fu had one that set opponent on fire.
* [[Shotoclone]]: Haohmaru's Senpuuretsuzan and Kougetsuzan moves.
