His SoulCalibur 4 subplot centered around Tira – essentially Harley Quinn as Gollum with a hula hoop enthusiasm – killing one of Yoshimitsu’s guys. Yoshimitsu’s ending had zero to do with that and instead focused on him stealing more gold. Unfortunately, that mission led to disaster as one of Yoshimitsu’s top soldiers went insane from a shard of the broken sword and betrayed the rest of the clan. Kind of like if Lord of the Rings had a bunch of kooky ninjas and more stuff to destroy than a single ring. Fun fact: originally, the PS2 SoulCalibur 2was supposed to have Cloud Strife as the exclusive guest character (going with GameCube’s Link and Xbox’s Spawn), but the deal fell through and they plugged Heihachi in there.Īs of SoulCalibur 3, his clan had two main focuses: 1) find treasures and spread their wealth to the poor and 2) find and destroy all remaining shards of the Soul Edge. He would return in SoulCalibur 2, alongside another Soul/ Tekkenconnection where Heihachi Mishima would magically travel back in time in the PlayStation 2 version of the game. From there, the Manji Clan was reborn as the Manjitou with Yoshimitsu the First at its helm. He made enough of a name for himself that others sought him out to join his side. From there, he became a heroic bandit who looked out for the poor and the weak. Yoshimitsu decided that he would not allow the katana’s evil to overwhelm him and set out to conquer it.
Yoshimitsu never did come across the villainous knight, but he got close enough that his own sword became possessed by traces of the Soul Edge’s evil, giving it an otherworldly glow. At some point during his adventure, he decided that maybe vengeance wasn’t the best course of action because he didn’t want to become a figurative monster like Nobunaga or a literal monster like Nightmare. Since there was news of an azure knight going around killing everything with a bigass eyeball sword, Yoshimitsu followed the bloodshed. Read the latest Den of Geek Special Edition Magazine Here! Replacing his arm with a steampunk prosthetic, Yoshimitsu went on a one-man mission to find the most badass sword ever and get his revenge.
Yoshimitsu went and politely declined for the umpteenth time, but upon returning home, he found that Nobunaga’s forces had wiped out the entire clan for the “insult.” Yoshimitsu went after Nobunaga himself, but was overwhelmed by his army and got his arm chopped off in battle.
Real-life Japanese leader Oda Nobunaga wanted the mysterious Manji Clan to join his side.
