[edit] History

[edit] Samurai Shodown 5

Rasetsumaru is a bloodthirsty demon from the dark world of Makai, which was opened up by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada many years ago. Rasetsumaru can never assuage his thirst for killing. Because he doesn't clean his blade, it has turned the color of blood from the hundreds of people he has killed. He learns of the existence of Haohmaru, an incredibly strong samurai who looks like him. After finding out about it, Rasetsumaru sought him out in Hinowato to battle him and taste his blood. In his ending, he believes to find Haohmaru in a temple, but he found a mysterious woman who changed her shape into his nemesis. After that, she killed Rasetsumaru.[1]

Rasetsumaru is based on Haohmaru's Bust form from the previous titles, mainly from Samurai Shodown III and 3D series.
The mysterious woman in his ending, probably could be Yumeji Kurokouchi.
