    "Kusaregedo" roughly means "Disgusting bastard." He was a "nice" guy in life with the sole exception that he was a cannibal, and that's why he transformed into a cannibalistic oni in death, who particularly enjoys the meat of young girls. In his ending in Samsho 5, he meets with his daughter, who says she still loves him and he has a moment of reflection before he winds up killing and eating her. Guy's seriously a messed up character.
    In Samsho 6, his ending's a bit...funnier? in that he winds up eating the whole damn cast. lol

      I'm pretty garbage at fighting games, but, one thing I have to give all fighting games credit for, is their insanely good character designs, and crazy backstories for their characters, pretty much every fighting game in existence can separate itself from any other game in it's genre because they all have their own unique style, and characters, even if they all have fighting in common. I can't think of any other genre that can do that, like with shooters, it's really hard to stand out as a shooter, but with a fighting game, all you need is a unique premise, and characters, and boom, you're already on your way to separate yourself from the competition.

      Faust is more comical than horrific in most entries, the horror aspect is only really prominent with Sick Faust in Strive and Dr Baldhead in Missing Link. In others he's more of a reality warping cartoon character freak.
      He's definitely one of the weirdest though and has an extremely twisted story to him.

Painwheel has her eponymous weapon stitched to her like a gruesome fifth limb and appears to be in constant pain from the torturous "medical procedures" done to her.

    I was very happy to see Hisako on this list. A good list aside from Relius. I mean, I can see human experimentation being unpleasant, but he doesn't really seem all that creepy to me. Evil, but not really creepy.

      Relius is actively terrifying in lore, his position is justified.

    Meat from Mortal Kombat?!? How the hell isn't this on the list? He's literally a character model with his skin removed. 🥩

    Loving this guys dry ass humor, I don’t realize it’s a joke until like 5-10 seconds after he’s said it 😂
