Just wanted to know, I've seen pics calling her just "Murasaki Nakoruru", but she has any other name/designation? (like "Blood Riot Iori" o "Evil Ryu")

And does she has an official story?

In the Samurai Spirits OVA, she seemed like a completly different person than Nakaruru.

No clue about her official name, but I've seen her referred to as "Tricky-faced Nakoruru" a few times.

When Nakoruru became a nature spirit in SS 2, her negative emotions split off and became " Murasaki Nakoruru " . No, she doesn't have a different name, " murasaki " means purple. She's one of the few SS characters who are actually different characters on their " rasetsu " and " shura modes ( the others are Asura, Shiki, and Tetsuban Hanma. )

No, they're the same person, just posessed, not a different character.

I didn't know she was also evil.

Rid is right. Sougetsu is being posessed by the god of water, Suija, and Kazuki by the god of fire, whose name I forget. Kazuki was posessed first, as a blessing from the god of fire (he looks and acts mean, but he's still really a good guy.. but he always did kind of look and act mean) and Sougetsu sold his soul to the god of water in an effort to keep up with Kazuki.

First off, don't ever look for consistency in Samurai Shodown. This was truly SNK's "whatever" series, with so many tweaks and turns and revisions that making a clear pronouncement on anything is next to impossible. For the record, Palette Swap Nakoruru was present in SS1, and it wasn't until SS4 that there were even hints that she might be a different person. Oh yeah, she has the same ending as regular Nakoruru.

Supposedly, SNK got "tired" of her and tried to do away with her after SS2, but her fans were so vehement about this (tip for fighting game programmers: Just because YOU don't want a character around anymore doesn't mean that the people you depend on for your livelihood don't want that character around anymore) that they had no choice but to bring her back in SS3. Now, considering how simple it was for them to bring a tin-pot crimelord back to life, doing the same to a guardian of nature should've been child's play, right? But no, she was supposed to be dead, so, SS3 and SS4 were prequels...only they didn't do even a remotely convincing job of making them look like prequels. You see what we're dealing with here.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the OVA's...they're notorious for making crazy garbage up (see: Fighting, Art of). They're just for fun...not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

Oh, and Suntan Nakoruru's real name is "Nakoruru". I doubt I'll ever be seriously challenged on this.

Umm... the OVAs aren't discussed here, I happen to own Asura Zanmaden and Samurai Tamashii, the SS64 games, and that's what we're talking about. No, they have nothing to do with the Playstation game. Yes, Nakoruru is in them. Yes, she's two different people. Thank you.

Oh, yeah, their stories are very different from the OVAs, anyway. I don't think Sougetsu or Kazuki are even in that OVA. Do you even know who Tetsuban Hanma, Gandara, or Hainin to Narishi Shiki are?

Oh, and lastly, they take place several years after Mizuki's defeat (Yuga knew it was Haohmaru who stopped the revival of Ambrosia) so this casts a good bit of doubt on the whole " 2 after 3 and 4 " thing anyway, which Bushidoretsuden indicates was pretty much nonsense, anyway.

Honestly, do some of you people look for stuff to argue about, no matter how trivial or pointless? I really wonder sometimes...

I wasn't discussing the OVA's. I made one backhanded comment (brought on largely by my past experience with OVAs, particularly fighting game-related ones). All I'm saying is that we shouldn't rely on them as sources of information...okay, "canon". There, I said it. I feel dirty.

So, once again, Non-Ainu Nakoruru doesn't have a different name. Clear now?

I don't think he had to look very far. Your post is right above his.

Misinterpretation there, I thought you were essentially blowing off everything I said. I've never even seen the new SS OVA, so I have no knowledge of it at all.

I only mentioned the OVA because it was the first time I saw 2 Nakorurus, since I thought the evil versions of the characters in the game were not official at all, just for fans to have fun. Of course, I know next to nothing about Samurai Showdown's/Spirits story.

And of course, I understand that the OVA is not official, but it at least seems to stick closer to the storyline than that awful Animated Movie.
