so... there's the whole story of the 4 taoist gods, Seiryu (Moriya, Kaede and Yuki's master is Seiryu before Kaede, I think, but I'm not sure), Genbu (Genbu no Okina), Suzaku (Kagami) and Byakko (Shigen).
Then Commandent Perry came in Japan, and bang, it's the end of the Bakufu of Edo and the begenning of the Restauration of Meiji. So Kagami thinks "whao, this world sucks. I should destroy it". Therefore, because fighting tournament hasn't been created in this time, he simply resurect Musashi, the legendary swordman with his 2 swords, and takes control of Byakko (and kill the master of Kaede and gang, I think). So, the drama is that Moriya came first and discover his master, then Kaede comes and says like "whao! you're big and nasty Moriya. you killed our master. I hate you" And Moriya, because he is a fighting game character, doesn't even answer and goes.
Meanwhile, a serial killer named Shikyô kills Kôjirô, a policeman (well, sort of) and Washizuka, Kôjirô's superior, is not very happy about it. Then, because we need more characters, Lee Rekka, Amano, Akari and her bodygard Jûzo and Zantetsu say something like "hey! we're important too!" and think it would be fun not to be destroyed by Kagami.
Finally, Kaede transforms into Supersayajin Seiryu, and kills Kagami, but the door to hell (or whatever) remains open. End of Last Blade 1.
Then, since the door is still open, nasty people can cross it. That's Setsuna. He goes to Hibiki's father (who make swords) and tell him, like, "make me a sword". But since he's nasty, he kills him with the sword he just gained. How nasty. Therefore, Hibiki says "I want to avenge my father and find that mysterious nasty person". She seems to be friend with Amano. Finally, she doesn't finds him, but she forget her Electra complex and get back to be a young single girl again ( (c)Chun li) or she becomes serial killer, because killing people is fun (it depends of the endings.). i don't think Setsuna has any scenario, he's just nasty.
Then Shikyô revives, and Kôjirô's sister takes her brother's uniform to run after him, because vengeance is fun.
Shigen is free from Kagami's hypnosis, and with everyone in the game, he goes to seal the gate, because sealing gates is fun when you have nothing to avenge.
Finally, Kôryû, the super big boss of the gate, actually lives in the boby of Kaede's master, but it doesn't prevent anyone from killing him. Yuki thinks she hasn't been enough important in the game, so she gets nude so everyone can mention her, then invent something about her beeing the key to close the gate, blablabla, when all she wanted is to be a topless dancer.
Finally, the gate is closed, a few characters dies (and Shigen's daughter takes her father's job as Byakko) and Shikyô creates Gigawings. Sort of.
Wahhh, funny cigarets!
Ulala this is a trap!

Could someone please explain to me what the shit is going on in the bloody game? All I know is Lee Rekka is a blatant play on the Once Upon a Time in China character Wong Fei Hung popularized by Jet Li in the series by this long name... Yup. Later, Skater.
Actually, it came from Chinese mythology, and is related to buddhist texts. North, south, east and west are each guarded by a celestial animal, all emblems of chinese zoology. They are, in no order- The Red Sparrow *sometimes swallow, phoenix are used instead* (Chu-chue, Suzaku in japanese), the White Tiger (Bai-Hu, Byakko in Jap), the Black Tortoise-Snake (Shien-wu or Genbu in Jap)and the Azure Dragon (Chin-Long or Seiryuu in Jap)
Last Blade instead implies that the 4 heavenly Gods are simply ethereal beings whom deploy their tasks through a suitable human equivalent. In this case:
Red Sparrow - represented by Kagami
White Tiger - Shingen
Black Tortoise - Genbu Okina
Azure Dragon - Kaede "By the strength of the Seiryuu, I cannot lose!"
These individuals have been endowed with their celestial guardian's power, thus being responsible for maintaining peace and balance. In LB1, Kagami was corrupt; in 2, it's Kaede, Yuki and Moriya's master, Gaisei. Kaede himself turns into super saiyan mode when he taps into Seiryuu's power...dunno why it doesn't work for the others. As for Yuki, she's the 'vanquishing virgin', whatever that does (dunno much about her, anyone?)
Gaisei himself turns out to be the 5th celestial beast - the one called Huang Long, or Kouryuu in Japanese.....it means 'yellow dragon'. Kouryuu resides slap bang in the centre of the four animals.
Recca Lee's involvement is strange. He supposedly seeks to gain enlightment from fighting off evil with the use of his Northern style Kung Fu. He plays no major part in this game (even though he's the only CHinese individual) and seems to be on the way to stop Setsuna, a direct manifestation of Evil. On a side note, you're right about Wong Fei Hung...he even has the same move 'No Shadow Kick' except it's pronounced in Japanese.
Shaolin Gong Fu Kicks Ass....

That was a very amusing and interesting summary, Iggy. Merci! And, Geo, yeah... That's why my cousin and I picked up Last Blade 2. He was, like, "Jet Li's in this game, dude." "No, he isn't!" "Watch, I'll show you, man. It's Wong Fei Hung!" This was before Jet Li got big in America. We're old school followers. My favorite movie is Fong Sai Yuk. Newbie mainstream fanboys who like Jet can die. I'll stop now. (;

Shinosuke was a bad guy (and the last boss, wasn't he?) in the first Last Blade, but after Last Blade and for Last Blade 2, he had a change of heart and became a good guy, and ironically, Moriya's, Yuki's, and Kaede's old master like, sold his soul to the demons or something and becomes the new villain. Wow, pretty ironic plot twist, there.
Yuki's sacrifice is needed to seal the demons away again :P The fact that she does it while naked is a bonus!!! ...erm, yea. Crazy vanquishing virgins...

And now for real...
LAST BLADE 1
The history of the game begins when a great master of the sword play
adopts tree orphans childrens, the older and tougher of them is Moriya,
then comes Kaede and Yuki, Yuki is the only survivor of the sunk of
an foreigner vessel (explains the blue eyes and blond hair), Gaisei
raised them as equals and times goes by; Moriya quickly surpassed the
skills of his master...
Genbu Okina is another great master of the fighting arts and he has a
disciple called Kagami Shinnosuke, the master where great friends, same
as the disciples, later, when Kaede was 12, he saw a fallen Geisei and
Moriya, bloody saber in hand, then Kaede stabs Moriya who vanished with
is wound... five years later, Kaede seeks the truth... but in fact the
blood on Moriya's sword is the result of the attempt of vanquishing
Kagami, who is host of Suzak, the phoenix guardian, Kagami is in truth
the one who dispatched Gaisei...
when Gaesei was slained, Kaede looked for Genbu Okina (Tosho is in
fact, the name of the guardian), in order to someone to teach him well
enough but when they where older Kaede seems to get different... that
is because there is sings of him to be the host of the Blue Dragon
guardian, Seiryu; Kaede seems to fear becoming the guardian, because he
seems to lose the control when he transforms (?)... Shingen the great
White Tiger guardian (Byakko -I think) also awakens, but he seems to
care not of the incident, because he is becoming a demon (Look at the
Kagami and Shingen Section if you want more info...)
Kagami uses a powerful demon called Akautsuki Musashi to discorauge
intruders...(see Kagami and Shingen section for details...)
When the gate of Hell opens due to Kagami's actions, Moriya, Kaede and
Yuki found each other, and the truth is found when founding Kagami and
when Kaede battle with Kagami and defeats him. Kagami gets trapped in
hell and everything seems to end...
REAL NAMES: Shinnosuke Kagami
Akautsuki Musashi
Minakata Moriya
Yuki
Genbu no Okina
Naoe Shingen
Kaede
ABOUT ALTERNATIVE CHARACTERS:
-Washizuka Keiichiro: Chief of the Shinsengumi spies, he is ordered to
find out what's wrong with the Hell's Gate, he heads along a man
called Sanada Kojiro.
-Akari Ichijo: Her family always kept an eye on the guardians, when
Hell's Gate opens she is send to investigate, note that this girl is
a genius and she has mastered many ways of knowledge, her next goal
is to master english (same here...)
-Kanzaki Juzo: He is in love with one of Akari's sisters, so, as a
favor to the family, he heads to protect Akari...
-Zantetzu: Zantetsu really hates does who call themselves dumbly, so
when he hears of a sorcerer he sets out to slay him and prove his
might, note that this man uses the same style that Eiji, because this
family of ninja inherits their skills to their children...
-Shikyo: Always searching good oportunities to slay and sworn enemy of
the Shinsengumi, this cold blooded killer cannot lose the chance of
getting into troubles...
-Lee Rekka: While training he saw an unlucky star, he speaks with his
master about the bad omen and he departs to stop it...
-Amano Hyo: He is a strong man always looking for a fight, that is his-
motivation...
-Hagure Hitogata: The wandering doll, this is the thing that makes
posible to Akari's transformations into others characters...
PEACE LASTED 6 MONTHS, UNTIL LAST BLADE 2 STORY LINE BEGAN TO SHOW
UP...
Source: Omnipotent Neogeo Pocket with Last Blade and all histories
founds and a great Last Blade 1 faq wich enlisted the
endings...
* What happened in and after Last Blade 1:
(1864 is the age of the Bakomatsu, acording to the game)
Kojiro Sanada dies in the hands of Shikyo.
Naoe Shingen adopts (?) a daughter called Kotetsu, Naoe Kotetsu.
Kagami is defeated by Kaede and gets trapped in hell.
Shikyo also gets trapped in hell.
Hell's Gate open again after 6 months of been closed.
Kaede and Yuki discovered that Moriya is not the killer of their
master, Yuki and Kaede begin training under Okina, in order of learning
a rite that might close the gate forever, this rite needs the sacrifice
of the "Maiden of Banishment".
Genzo, father of Hibiki dies and tells her to stop the man that
killed him, she departs without telling her friend Amano.
Amano found no one in Hibiki's house and he start looking for them.
Kaori is the spitting image of her brother Kojiro, so she disguises
as him and takes his place as the Shinsengumi's Zero Squad leader,
Washizuka seems to be the only person that knows about it...
Hikari, Akari's sister falls ill, so Akari goes to investigate
without her father's permision...
Shikyo is now called Mukuro, and he seems like a zombie due to his
presence in Hell, he and Kagami escape from Hell, altrough Kagami seems
not to be affected at all.
Kouryu sizes the body of Gaisei and opens Hell's Gate in an attempt
of finishing with all the that has life, Kouryu is the fifth Guardian
and in know as the king among them...
* In Last Blade 2:
Okina sees him with not strenght to investigate the newer incident
at Hell's Gate, so he sends Kaede and Yuki to investigate it, but he
goes anyway, hoping that he may found the "Maiden of Banishment", the
other Guardians, Shingen and Kagami feel that is also their duty to
check things out, Moriya has a strange feeling of nostalgia and a bad
omen, when Hell's Gate was open again he heads foward...
The Shogunate sends Washizuka and Kojiro to check what is wrong
with the gate, Washizuka knows that the "Maiden of Banishment" is
needed to close the gate for once and for all...
Setsuna discover his identity as a Hell's minion and he obtains a
powerful weapon from a famous sword maker, after he obtains it he
dispatched the man and heads toward Hell's Gate, hoping to slay all
what has life. It is my suspect that Setsuna is the man who killed
the father of Hibiki, mainly because in Neo Geo Pocket Last Blade is
show a picture of a worried Hibiki and Setsuna, also the game shows
that her father died after forging a "dreaded weapon", and Setsuna
weapons name is "Blade of Dread"
The guardians desperatly look for the "Maiden od Banishment", but
Yuki suspects that she is the "Maiden of Banishment", because when the
subject is dicused, the necklace that she recibed from Gaisei begins to
glow... knowing this she heads to face Kaoryu.
It is my suspect that the man that defeats Kaoryu is not Kaede,
because the game history shows that when battling with the Guardian
(I suspect of Kaede) Gaisei manages to control himself and gives the
humans the chance to perform the rites to close the gate, then he
departs from this world... also it seems that Yuki is sacricated in
order to get this goal, the sacrifice is done by herself.
Shingen's ending shows that he died protecting his beloved
daughter, and Kagami endings shows that he is not longer attempting to
finish off the world and that he makes peace with is master Genbu...
names: Yuki
Kagami Shinnosuke
Naoe Shingen
Minakata Moriya
Genbu no Okina
Kaede
* Reasons of the alternatives charcters:
Zantetsu: he teaches his grandson the art of the fighting and then he
departs from home for good, his ending suggest that he didn't survived
the present incident.
Ichijo Akari: as telled before, she goes to investigate worried by
her sister's health.
Kanzaki Juzo: just as before, he stands as a "bodyguard" for Akari.
Mukuro: his twisted mind drags him into searching more people to
slay, even trough he is searched by the Shinsengumi.
Kojiro Sanada: impersonating her dead brother, she heads to fulfill
her mission.
Washizuka Keiichiro: he is following orders as usual, he seeks Kojiro
in order to protect her, he feels that it is his responsability to her
brother.
Lee Rekka: he saw another unlucky star and heads to action...
Takane Hibiki: following her father last wish she seeks the man who
is responsable for her father's death. It is not her will to be a
swordman, but she owns her father so much... this gal has two endings;
in one she apologies with her father for all what has happened and for
being sad at his death, she promise to look foward... in the other;
she promise to look foward; but she has been turned into an assassin.
Amano Hyo: he searchs for Hibiki, thinking that she is not suited to
be a swordman, so he attempts to protect her.
Setsuna: since child he holds a seed of evil planted on a handsome
baby, the Kagami crisis makes the hell's minions to wake up and
acomplish is mission... he loathes all creation, even his own
existence. He sloushes toward Hell's Gate to avange himself on
everything.
Hagure Hitogata: this paper (?) doll again helps Akari in performing
her moves.
Naoe Kotetsu: she comes with her father Shingen, felling ansiouxs
about seeing his father coming into action...
* I cannot make more hipotesis about what endings are truth and what
wheren't, for that I need to check out another Last Blade that has to
come out yet...
Then again, hopes this clear some confusion...
THERE ARE SOME MAJOR MISTAKES HERE; BUT CURRENTLY I LACK THE TIME TO FIX THEM, WAIT UNTIL THE WEEKEND
Now you can tell who is Papá Mono, right?
