Heishiro Mitsurugi is a playable fighter from the Soulcalibur series, appearing in every game since the initial 1995 title Soul Edge.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Heishiro had a hard childhood, which included his old man getting murdered and his homeland being ravaged by marauding bandits. He decided to pick up the way of the sword and was reasonable successful on that path, but watching other masters of the blade getting mowed down by gunpowder weapons in the 1575 Battle Nagashino rewarded him with a striking revelation - Mitsurugi realized he needed an extra-fancy magical sword to stay competetive.
This being a series about a soul-eating demon sword, you can guess where this went. Or could have guessed, because he never got anywhere close to the dreaded Soul Edge. Instead, Mitsurugi went full Akuma and only exists to beat up increasingly powerful enemies so he can feel good about himself. At least until he settled down as a farmer. Until he heard about Soul Calibur, and the entire vicious circles begins anew.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Mitsurugi only appeared in 8chanmania XII, where he ate a quick KO at the hands of Shang Tsung.
