      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    I grew up loving capcom and snk games. But damn! Snk's stages are far beautiful than capcom's and watching this video reminded me of the fact

    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

    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

    If The Last Blade gets a live action movie adaption, it should be done by the team who brought us Rurouni Kenshin movies series. Off course, it deserves anime treatment as well.

    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.
