"The end of Samurai Deeper Kyo (spoilers)" , posted Sat 4 Jan 02:17

I think after watching the anime I'll definitely read the manga now since everyone says how much better it is. The last episode was definitely the best of the series, you could see the animation quality was a little bit higher. The location of Kyo and Nobunaga's final battle was very unexpected but since I've studied japanese history I found the storyline of the entire series very cool... they did a good job of taking actual people and events and putting a fantasy flair to it.

The last episode just felt a little rushed though... they finally explain how Yuya's brother was killed... but it wasn't very dramatic at all and she really didn't seem to care about him being murdered anymore. There's still a lot left open though... and I hope that they'll make an OAV to tie up the loose ends. Like what happened to the muramasas... who did Yuya really land up with? What happened to Sakuya? I'd also like to see more stories told from the younger days of Kyo, when he was training Akira and travelling the world seeking strong opponents.

I really have mixed feelings about the show... the fights were always too short, but there's a good variety of characters with cool weapons and powers. It was also hard to keep track of who was on which side... Okini and Yukimura kept switching back and forth and even in the end Shindara turned out to be a good guy. I think that was kind of lame how he saved everyone... because he never really felt like a significant character. Those 2 lame nurse characters were really out of place too. Oh well... I just got my hands on the SDK psx game but I can't try it until I get my new cd burner, should be fun to play though now that I've watched the entire show and know the story behind the characters.

Here's looking at you... Onime.

The weirdest thing in the anime, it's there's only 2 guy in the current Mibu clan ...

I found the PS game to be just ok, the animation was kinda poor, specially in the last boss (haven't seen the anime so I don't knwo who he is). Played through it in the default setting with a black haired woman with spider attacks (forgot her name, Burning Kyo told me the other day), and didn't had to continue, even made some perfects... (excpet the cheap last boss) and I suck at fighting games as everyone knows.

For a good anime-based fighter, check Shaman King - Spirit of Shaman. While unbalanced, it's very fun in 1p mode and the graphics are really, really interesting (mixes 2d and 3d). Then again, I may be biased with this one since I love the series, but it's definitely superior to SDK.

Ot just forget about licenses and get Slap Happy Rhythm Busters.

Yeah there's a lot of things I'm still wondering about SDK that will probably be answered in the manga. Like the Sanada 10 braves... through the anime you only see 2, Saizo and Hanzo. Anyway the spider chick is Mahiro, she's the sister of the guy who forged Kyo's sword the Tenrou. If you've studied japanese history you probably know about the sword makers Muramasa and Masamune... of course in the anime Muramasa has blonde hair and magical powers. :) The last boss of the game is probably Onime no Kyo's body with the red hair possessed by the spirit of Oda Nobunaga. I can't burn my iso because the o-ring that opens and closes the cd tray broke... but it's under warranty and I'm getting a new one. I was planning on buying SDK when I go to Japan next week anyway... so now I'll just buy Inu Yasha instead. I hear it's just like Samurai Shodown with strikers anyway.

I think Shaman King is pretty good... but in single player the balance is very questionable. The first time I played through I really didn't know how to play the mini games so I had really low scored on them... and I didn't know it effected your strength! I was too weak to beat the last boss, she could kill me with only a couple hits... but yeah it's a cool game and anime. Personally I like X:The Chosen Fate better... it might be a Psychic Force clone, but it has added elements like a dodging move and a slightly different emergency recover. The soundtrack is also one of the best I've heard in a psx game.... even better than the urban beats of Slap Happy. ;)

Here's looking at you... Onime.

- Mahiro's bros is Muramasa (in the manga)
- 10 Sanada's warriors : I know only 3 >>> Saizo, Sasuke 'n the gal who looks likes Yukimura.

So I guess they wrote their own end for the anime... afterall I know it's not faithfull to the manga storyline anyway. The anime ends with all 5 Muramasas combining into one sword and both Kyoshiro and Kyo are conscious during their fight against Nobunaga in Kyo's body. Of course they win and Kyo gets his body back. Before the Demon Gate can land again Shindara reveals that he could see the future as well and he was actually a good guy the whole time... and sacrifices himself to stop the gate from landing. Sakuya tells Yuya that her brother as a Mibu assassin sent to stop Kyo from reaching Sekigahara and facing Kyoshiro... so Kyo is the man who killed her brother. Kyo and Kyoshiro face off in a duel and it looks like whoever wins gets to have the true muramasa. It seems that Kyo wins the duel. Then it awkwardly jumps ahead 11 years when Yukimura is leading a raid against Benitora's army at Edo castle and Yuya is selling medicine and traveling with who seems to be Kyoshiro... but his eyes are never shown to just give you that little bit of doubt. Still the way it ended there definitely won't be another season of the show... but maybe an OAV could be possible.
