INTRODUCTION
o---------------------o
Installment number three is here and it is titled Samurai Showdown 3: Blades of
Blood. This actually part one of an interquel (sequel to Samurai Showdown 1 and
a prequel to Samurai Showdown 2) as noted by Nakoruru still being alive despite
her death in Samurai Showdown 2. Her sister, Rimururu is new to the cast along
with Nicotine's son Gaira, Shizumaru Hisane, Basara Kubikiri, and Amakusa makes
his return. The boss of this game is Zankuro.
