Snk and Capcom have never compromised the animation in their games. (Using sprites in other games is a different story *cough* capcom) I wish other fighting games put as much thought into their animations as SNK and Capcom.
@@joshuataylor7443 since im not too familiar with the last blade story im not sure what they could do to continue it. More than likely they could go the samsho route and make interquels/prequels. Or start a new storyline that focuses on other characters.
Also, the aftermath of the Last Blade 2 story, that you forgot to include. With Yuki and Shigen confirmed died, Zantetsu also died off-screen (somewhere around Last Blade 2). Despite his death, his grandson, Santa Kisaragi, will carry the legacy of Kisaragi clan.
I think "The Last Blade" series has one of the best Stories in the History of Fighting Games, that's very Rare these Days. Awesome Lore Video, this is probably the Best one yet.
I have always loved SNK lore they are probably the best fighting game story tellers and all the world building that each game has is simply amazing. Great job as per usual Shoryu
I do love how people keep saying "both" Last Blade games. Am I the only one who remembers the existence of this little device called the Neo-Geo Pocket? (and yes the NGP Last Blade game is, IIRC, on the Switch as well. It's called Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny).
@@ShoryuGame Keep up the amazing work, also maybe youll consider Aggressors of Dark Kombat or Neo Geo Battle Coliseum (which is basically a fighting game based on all your videos rolled into one lol)?
Who remembers GameTap? This is where I found out about SNK games. Also, why do I keep rewinding this video? Well.. this is how much I love this series, and this video as well, that I don't want to stop hearing about this. This series needs a proper reboot, like please... this will already make my year if this is executed right - very slept on series.
Also I am pretty sure the producer for Guilty Gear worked on both of this and a lot of the last of the samurai showdown games and it shows you can see Sol and Ky in Moriya and Kaede.
This is one of my favorite games from SNK. I fell in love with the beautiful sprite art and detailed backgrounds, as well as the great soundtrack and the amazing characters. The one thing I never really knew about was the story. Thank you for making these videos for us. These games all had such great stories it was just so hard to figure out what they were all about, especially back in the 90s when all we had were the arcade games.
There’s one other Last Blade game in the series of note, Beyond the Destiny for the NeoGeo Pocket Color, basically a remixed kinda variant of the main 2 games
I've played hours after hours with the SNK games in the 90's and yet I've known The Last Blade only six months ago, playing at the mobile game "SNK Allstar". It's a pity, because I like so much the story, the characters and the graphics of these two games.
I think SNK wants to revive Fatal Fury, and Last Blade. It all depends on the success of KOF XV, because they really need to implement Rollback netcode in their new KOF XV. Samsho 7 is an atrocity online.
I used to think so too until I learned about Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage for PS1. It takes place about 10-15 years after the main series and almost all the characters are new. So I would say that is the "true" Garou of Samsho.
Who’s here That Hibiki’s in SamSho? Eiji’s actually the Grandson (?) of Zantetsu since he is a Kisaragi himself (although he’s been in KOF and we dont know if it’s canon for both of them).
This is a game that I completely missed when it was out back in the late nineties. I only learned about it when I went out and bought SNK games for my dream cast back in the early 2000's. During that time I also learned about garou mark of the wolves and I bought it too. Last blade, garou and samurai showdown could probably be considered the greatest classics for SNK fighting games and maybe even better than some of the other games outside SNK.
I was hoping to see a Last Blade lore video in your channel sooner or later! This made me so happy, LB is one of my favorite videogame series, not just from SNK, but all games overall. Thank you!
I never realized this but Moriya, Iori, Genjuro, Vice, Fiona, Vanessa, Kazuki ect...SNK has a history of making some badazz red headed characters lol. I know it's random, but that's the first thing I thought when I saw this video and Moriya. That being said, this was a great video. I'm surprised KOF let this story die since they were just beginning laying out the lore. Perhaps with more videos like this they will decide to one day bring it back? Thanks Shoryu!
So cool to find out swery got his first game credit with this game. Who would’ve thought he’d start here and create things like deadly premonition and D4. The gaming world is sick
The Last Blade Character Reference: Lee Reck Er-wong fei hung(he also has same fighting style with wong fei hung) Kaede-Super saiyan(Dragon Ball) Moriya-Tsukioka Tsunan(Rurouni Kenshin) Kagami Shiro-Aoshi shinomori(Rurouni Kenshin) Akari-Makimachi Misao(Rurouni Kenshin) Washizuka-Hajime Saito/GoroFujita (Rurouni Kenshin)
The end of the story of LB2 is so sad. Yuki sacrificed herself as a Witch to seal the gate.She realized who she really is when she sees the shine of the Gouyu on her neck.The story is about love,hate and fate.Everyone is connected because of the event of the Gate. Moriya loves Yuki but he never says a word about it. At the end of the story of LB1,Yuki and Moriya met on the bridge but they just passed by without saying anything.There are only regrets left in Moriya's lonely heart.
Wow, hard to believe majority of us never heard of this game as the spiritual successor to Samurai Showdown. Its a pretty game and an engaging storyline that would work well as a nice little anime series. It'd be nice if they bring a third episode but I guess its okay with the way it is now. Good video - I enjoyed it.
ah finally! the lore of the Last Blade game explained! Along with the Samurai Shodown line of games, Last Blade is one of my most loved arcade games, for its overall design, characters, lore and the general beauty of the appreciation of the history itself. During those times that I have played this game, I was able to appreciate the history of Japan and its mythology. Who could ever gotten good about the always looming presence of Hell / Hades among humans, and how the Gods are there protecting us. Despite of that, humanity forgets its past, and the rage and violence will always make sure to help us remember to honor our past and the Gods along with it. Much thanks to your video, i relieved my love with these games once more!
Also a fun fact that the dev's got wrong historically. Shinsengumi rarely "Fired' anyone. Their way was a strict code of bushido based on honour. If shikyo didn't run away on his own he'd probably have been forced to commit seppuku which was the Shinsengumi's custom. So I figure they sent Kojiro and Washizuka to assassinate him. Cos that's what they did with other people who ran off. Even the one time they did let some leave peacefully, they ended up having to assassinate them in the streets of Kyoto. They were very very very strict.
Man I wish I would've known sooner about these games and their lore, great stuff! And great video too! You always manage to make the confusing fighting game stories way easier to understand!
The most amazing underrated/underappreciated SNK game of all! The gameplay is flawles, easy to pick up but hard to master!! The art and sound is some of the best in the genre, the character design... everything is awesome in this game!!
I loved the Last Blade series it's story was well thought and thanks for the video for clarifying things in the lore plus I remember playing LB2 with my friends at the arcade and it was a great time and the gameplay of the serues was really fun to play around with the characters and music are also well designed
Great job Shoryugame! I love the SNK fighting games so much it’s great you put all the pieces together explain the lore very well! The last blade 2 has the most beautiful video game art ever
To be honest this is one of the first weapon base 2D games I ever played. also one of the first fighting game just not the first fighting game I played online and I played on keyboard as Morya lol.
Thank you so, so, so mcuh for this. I've always loved this series, but had no understanding of the lore whatsoever. Learning all of this is a real treat.
@@ShoryuGame If wasn't for these Mugen videos on TH-cam, I would've never heard of the game. Now thanks to your latest project, I see why this game existed with its story. It definitely deserves the Samurai Shodown remake.
I have never been good at fighters but I remember playing this game and instantly falling in love with it. Thank you so much for this vid now I understand the whole lore behind it. Keep up the good work. By the way, do you only do SNK games?
I just got The Last Blade 2 on Dreamcast and wanted to get a better understanding of the story. This did the trick, I really enjoy your editing style, mixing in gameplay that fits the fights of the stories and timing moves to what you're saying, that was very well done. Good stuff
Another possible scene in the plot of Last Blade 1(although it was most likely headcanon), that Moriya manage to find Kagami before Kaede (having to deal with Musashi) could get to him but he failed to defeat him and Kaede taking his place.
In my opinion this game and the sequel are SNK's best games in terms of over all presentation, budget, and quality. I think it's better then Garou Mark Of The Wolves.
They should give this series the samsho treatment. People life fast fighting games and I wouldn’t say this is fast but it’s more enjoyable than samsho to me and my cousins. I used to play the game as a kid but since it came out on switch we’ve been having a lot of fun with the first game
i found a comic book of this game at a 5 below store and got it despite never having tried these games out and im really wishing i had started playing them earlier. Kenshin is one of my fav manga and anime series ever and there being a fighter in that same time period is really cool
The first 29 seconds straight up explained everything I know about the last blade..... I thought hibiki was from a samurai showdown that I haven't played yet

The sprite art and animation in this game is masterclass.
Snk and Capcom have never compromised the animation in their games.
(Using sprites in other games is a different story *cough* capcom)
I wish other fighting games put as much thought into their animations as SNK and Capcom.
@@ClumsyTrout Don't forget the best soundtrack from the SNK Sound Team
SNK’s spritework in general is a work of art
The Last Blade series, is literally a work of art as a fighting game.
Its a shame that 2 of the best snk series got started just as they were going thru bankruptcy. Maybe one day we will get garou 2 and last blade 3
yessss two of my most anticipated snk games.
Both are masterpieces
well, recently we got news about the cancelled garou 2
What can you really do with a last blade 3 , the story has already finished.
@@joshuataylor7443 since im not too familiar with the last blade story im not sure what they could do to continue it. More than likely they could go the samsho route and make interquels/prequels. Or start a new storyline that focuses on other characters.
Also, the aftermath of the Last Blade 2 story, that you forgot to include. With Yuki and Shigen confirmed died, Zantetsu also died off-screen (somewhere around Last Blade 2). Despite his death, his grandson, Santa Kisaragi, will carry the legacy of Kisaragi clan.
And then Eiji would continue that
I think "The Last Blade" series has one of the best Stories in the History of Fighting Games, that's very Rare these Days.
Awesome Lore Video, this is probably the Best one yet.
The game was written by SWERY of Deadly Premonition fame. The more ya know
Thank you very much!
Indeed. The story even exceeds Orochi's lore or the Amakusa's or Mizuki's lore since the four gods were there long before that.
A fighting game where the story is actually coherent, has a clear ending, no infinite time lines, *and* has solid quality?
*Wait that’s illegal!*
Wait, Lee fights barehanded and with one hand behind his back against opponents that are all armed with swords? What a badass.
He has a fan with him.
Despite barehanded, he has flames
@@therm0alfred448 yup
The hand behind his back is holding a fan.
@@ShoryuGame ah I see, it's impressive nonetheless
I do remember when I use Lee and then taunt. You may regen HP by taunt. Fun fact about him.
I have always loved SNK lore they are probably the best fighting game story tellers and all the world building that each game has is simply amazing. Great job as per usual Shoryu
Thanks a lot!
The stages of Last Blade are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
I agree!
GODDAMN WHY GREAT FIGHTING GAMES WITH COOL STORIES GOT CANCELLED ALL THE TIME? First Mark of the wolves now this????
Because the general mainstream public hates fighting games. 1vs1, you have no one to blame for your mistakes.
But TLB2 wasnt? They completed the plot in two games, thats it. They could have done a "TLB2 Special" but SNK was on their last legs.
@@SaikyoKoutei basically the fandom did not accept the fact that Yuki has sacrificed herself so we have hoped for a new game with better plots
Let it go your waifu lol
@@SaikyoKoutei IMPOSSIBLEEEEEW
THE DEVIL WORKS HARD BUT OUR SHORYUGAME WITH DEEP ACCENT WORKS HARDER
The fact that Jet Li is in these games is enough reason for me to play em. Got both games on Switch and they are fantastic.
Maybe Aunt 13 got sucked into the portal so Wong Fei-Hong had to travel to Japan to rescue her lol.
Wait Last Blade is on the Switch?? How did you get it?
I do love how people keep saying "both" Last Blade games. Am I the only one who remembers the existence of this little device called the Neo-Geo Pocket? (and yes the NGP Last Blade game is, IIRC, on the Switch as well. It's called Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny).
I wish you earned credit for sales too cuz i definitely just bought this game based solely on this video.
Wow! Thanks!
@@ShoryuGame Keep up the amazing work, also maybe youll consider Aggressors of Dark Kombat or Neo Geo Battle Coliseum (which is basically a fighting game based on all your videos rolled into one lol)?
I know nothing of the story but I know that the games Sprite art is absolutely beautiful.
SNK should hire you to do narration for their games. Your voice is now tied to these characters in my head.
FINALLY SHORYUGAME COVERING MY FAVORITE FIGHTING GAME FRANCHISE
Who remembers GameTap? This is where I found out about SNK games. Also, why do I keep rewinding this video? Well.. this is how much I love this series, and this video as well, that I don't want to stop hearing about this. This series needs a proper reboot, like please... this will already make my year if this is executed right - very slept on series.
"This story,
has not yet ended..."
Thank you for this, great such a great game and narrative.
My pleasure!
Last Blade brings back Miyamoto Musashi way before Baki did.
I feel satisfied after all these years of waiting for an explanation about this game's story.
Thanx man for an another amazing lore video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also I am pretty sure the producer for Guilty Gear worked on both of this and a lot of the last of the samurai showdown games and it shows you can see Sol and Ky in Moriya and Kaede.

It's a pity, because I like so much the story, the characters and the graphics of these two games.
I don't mind not having the 3rd game, I've would rather having a reboot of the game cause The Last Blade 2 tied it up pretty nicely
I think SNK wants to revive Fatal Fury, and Last Blade. It all depends on the success of KOF XV, because they really need to implement Rollback netcode in their new KOF XV. Samsho 7 is an atrocity online.
In terms of people's appreciation I always felt like this was to Samurai Shodown to what Garou Mark of the Wolves is to Fatal Fury
I used to think so too until I learned about Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage for PS1. It takes place about 10-15 years after the main series and almost all the characters are new. So I would say that is the "true" Garou of Samsho.
If anything, Last Blade is the Fatal Fury to Art of Fighting.
I love the animation of this game so much that I forgot that this has a lore and never considered checking it out.
One of my favourite games, the music, the art, the fighting engine, the story it's just a masterpiece
Thank you for making this! Already sent it to the LB discord, your work deserves more attention!

Yeah, I found it easier than Samsho, why is that?
@@chronology556 to make it accessible for new fan probably. Samsho is, as my sister once said, boring and slow ha ha
