The Long History of Gairyu Isle - Samurai Shodown 

Kuroko aren't ninjas, they're supposed to be stagehands for Japanese theater, with the black clothes being visual shorthand to the audience that they're supposed to be invisible. Also the island is a homage to "Ganryujima" which is the island where Musashi Miyamoto had his duel with Sasaki Kojiroh, which is who Haohmaru and Ukyo are based on.

This was really well done! Keep it up for these stage analysis videos! I enjoyed learning from this one! ^_^

Loving these videos. I'll have to make a list of stages I wouldn't mind hearing more about.

Really love this series about stage breakdowns & analysis, keep it up will be on the lookout for your future videos

I thought I knew everything about Samurai Shodown, but what you told me about 04:55 really made me happy as that is a cool little Easter egg I am visiting Japan next month and I’ll definitely visit miyaJima island now Thank you

Awesome video! Big learned! My only question is, who's lighting those lanterns at night on the gates? Just seems like a very arduous task every night...

🤔 I think Jubei's stage is the one that I like the most from SS 1 and 2 with it's numerous iconic stages (similar to the SF series), but this one from Haohmarou/Ukyo is representative of the entire series.

Love the history you incorporate into your content. Truly great work!

I literally stopped soul calibur vi a few months after it came, and the fact that this stage and this character is dlc surprised me. glad that i watched this because im reinstalling soul calibur vi to get this dlc and your video here inspired me to go for it

Yes my friend I'm samurai shodown player❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This stage is meant to represent Japan given that the mountain, Mount Fuji and the sun being above it gives the country the name: "The Land of the Rising Sun".

Great idea for a channel, subbed😊

Yes on samurai shodown 2 they have tori gates in that game in the stage

In background of stage samurai shodown 2 they have haohmaru and uyko wife in the game

That the bird flying

Yes in gb vorison of snk vs capcom is don't have muisc or toris gates in back round of the stage

That you saw that haohmaru old picture in samurai showdown 1

Sen had great new characters though, I was hoping at least one would have been DLC in the new game

As bad as Sen's Gairyu Isle is I love the details on the foundation of the torii gates

Well haohmaru hair not goofy is way is hair is

Wait you know samurai shodown games

Why does the stage and overall look of characters get *worse* looking as the tech gets better?

Hello
