The Shogun's Secret Servant

YAGYU JUBEI

Even after the defeat of Amakusa, there was no end to the appearance of
demons. The Shogun, Tokugawa, realizing the gravity of the situation,
ordered Jubei to destroy these demons. But the demon's were hunting Jubei
as well. "No one can withstand the might of the Yagyu Shinkegeryu-kai!"

B: "How ominous! I must investigate."
BM: "Can you bear to my fatal attack?"
AM: "All creatures will die and all things will be broken. That's the law of
the samurai." (the best quote, IMHO)
BV: "I have not known that I have a brother."
AV: "If you are related to my family, behave like a samurai!"
IA: "Are you the cause of this disaster?"
"I must thank him for his help someday."
F: "It's worse than the event of last time!"
"I'll (ill?) mannered fellow, here I go (come?)!"

Background: Based on Yagyu Mitsuyoshi Jubei, a samurai servant of
the Tokugawas
Weapons: Daisho--a paired Katana and Wakisashi
Full of: Dango
Occupation: Samurai
Nationality: Japan
Voice: Kiyoshi Kobayashi (also does the narration)
Ranking: 6
Notes: Jubei is actually the only real samurai in the game, in the sense
that he is a Japanese warrior who works for a master.
The name of one of the game designers can be seen written in the
snow on the roof of the house.
The snacks that Jubei eats, dango, are pounded rice balls.

Poses:

- Tarin: He points sword at opponent, says something, and laughs
- Pose: He strikes a pose and laughs

First and Second Win Unarmed:
Up: Sheath, Tarin Pose
Down: Pose, Sheath Pose
Left: Sheath, Tarin Pose
Right: Tarin, Pose Pose
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes: Jubei can catch his opponent's weapon with the Shingatoh if the
opponent swings at the same time or right after he does the move.
Midway through the move, Jubei's sword sparkles. After this, Jubei
is vulnerable to attack, even though he holds the same pose. It also
ONLY counters standing or air swings, not swings, kicks, or Special
Moves.
For some reason, the first swing to Jubei's low AB can reflect low
missiles! This includes Jubei's Ground Wave, Nicotine's Fire Card,
and Ukyo's Swallow if sent out low. This only works with the first
slash in the AB, and won't work with his low A slash either.
Jubei's standing or crouching AB can be interrupted with a Special
Move. His first slash will only come out, and he'll go directly into
the Special Move after that.

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

Ending:

After defeating Mizuki, we see Jubei in the forest. The guy who tosses
food and bombs during the game runs on to the screen holding the two Pherenx
stones and asks, "Is this what you are looking for?" Jubei says, "So this
is what has been causing all of the trouble, toss them to me!" He then
performs his Zetsu Suigetsutoh, shattering the two stones, and the force of
the blow knocks the delivery man on his butt. The scene then shifts back to
his home where he is standing outside, arms crossed. The delivery man runs
back carrying a package. He greets Jubei and Jubei asks him to come in for
some rest and refreshments, but the delivery man insists that he has to
continue working. Jubei says, "O.K. You are such a workaholic!" The
delivery man runs off, and Jubei says "What a beautiful day!" He laughs
heartily and contently.
