Haohmaru's True Rival

KIBAGAMI GENJURO

"There is no question you are strong. But one day, you will cause great
suffering with your sword." With those words, Nicotine expelled Genjuro,
who became his pupil at the same time as Haohmaru. His heart full of hate,
Genjuro hunts Haohmaru and Nicotine. "The strong kill the weak...it's only
natural."

B: "Huh, now is the time for all beginning!"
BM: "Kill you!!"
AM: "I will never be beaten by anyone who lives in confort (sic) like you."
BV: "We don't need to have the same two men in the world."
AV: "You can imitate my looks, but can never imitate all of myself."
IM: "You the evil king?"
"I got you!"
"Ha! You no my enemy!"
F: "You evil king. You should disappear."
"I said you before, didn't I? Pass away!" (Genjuro needs serious grammar
lessons)

Background: Genjuro is "based" on the Hanafuda card game.
Weapon: Katana
Full of: Hanafuda cards
Occupation: Ronin
Nationality: Japan
Voice: Kong Kuwata
Ranking: 8
Notes: Discipline of Nicotine who turned bad. Genjuro hates Haohmaru
(his fellow trainee) and Nicotine.
Genjuro's scene comes straight out of a Hanafuda card set, although
the Neo-Geo logo is written on the moon.
Genjuro slices through animal Hanafuda cards when doing Blade of
the Beast. He tosses cherry blossom cards for Cherry Blossom Mincer.
He also uses the five Light cards when doing his Power Special.

Notes: For an AB or close B Sanrensatsu, Genjuro will slide BEHIND his
opponent on his first slash. Thus to block it, an opponent needs to
block forward. Despite the fact that Genjuro sometimes changes
directions between slashes, the player should do the three slash
moves in the SAME direction, immediately after each other. Also,
a hit opponent can sometimes block the later slashes.
Also, you do not have to use the same strengths for all three
slashes! For instance, you can do an AB, B, A. This is recommended
if you find yourself sliding too far.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ending:

Genjuro stands on the rocky outlook. He spots Haohmau below and
says, "Ha, too weak. Oh, he is..." He then jumps down. In the forest,
Haohmaru lies on the ground, wounded. Genjuro leaps in and says, "You
had a hard fight Haohmaru. Now I'll kill you!" Haohmaru replies, "You
bas..." but then Oshizu jumps between them and exclaims, "Stop it! He is
wounded... You should challenge him when he's better." Genjuro responds,
"You are quite right! All right, I will overlook it this time..." and
jumps away.
Genjuro stands in another part of the forest when the frog jumps in. He
looks at it and says "It's you. I'll kill you!" The frog backs off,
afraid. But Genjuro looks away instead, and says, "Have (it) your own
way..." He walks off, and the frog continues to hop as the scene fades.
