Again, this is a Japanese CD, and must be specially ordered.

The SS2 Mook, put out by Gamest. Has all the stats on the characters,
plus screen shots of EVERY attack (even unarmed ones!). Also cool
drawings and stuff. Basically, if you want a book on SS2, this is it.
It's in Japanese.
Title: SS2 Mook (v. 4)
Maker: Gamest
Price: 1380yen
You need to look for this at a Japanese bookstore.

The Samurai Spirits TV Special. Actually, I heard it sucks. The
animation and character designs are supposedly pretty bad. But
that probably won't stop SS fans from at least renting it. ADVision
has released this dubbed in the US.

Jubei Ninja Chronicles. No, that's not the same Jubei as in SS (or
FF, for that matter!). But the SS character designers also worked on
this anime movie. Manga Entertainment has released this subbed and
dubbed under the name, "Ninja Scroll."

"Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa. This is the book that shaped current
perceptions of Musashi, and the idea of the Way of the Sword in
general. Recommended. It has a lot of cool fight scenes in it (most of
them historical), and many ideas about swordsmanship and enlightenment
that still are culturally influential today.

Samurai I to III. These are three movies that are based on the novel
"Musashi". The last one deals with the duel between Musashi and Genryu.
They are available at most video rental places.
