He sets out with Haohmaru to test their strength against Zankuro, challenging other fighters along the way. The child’s name is Shizumaru Hisame, who seeks revenge for his family’s murder under Zankuro’s hands.
One of the victims he spared was a child whom Haohmaru finds and raises. Zankuro eventually finds the error of his ways and retires to hermitage, only agreeing to kill skillful warriors in duels. He is a man named Zankuro Minazuki, a powerful warrior who has earned the label “demon” for his merciless slaughter of innocent people, village after village. However, he is not related to Amakusa or Ambrosia. Months later, another “demon” rises in Japan. Though several fighters attempt to slay the fiend, these two are successful in defeating him, apparently killing him in the process. An Ainu priestess, Nakoruru, though a pacifist, takes up her blade to save Mother Nature from further pain. He sees the foe as a chance to sharpen his swordsmanship. Amongst these warriors is Haohmaru, a ronin, who recently left his tutelage from his master, Caffeine Nicotine. The sorcerer’s activity stirs evil phenomena across the globe, stretching from Japan to China to Europe and America, drawing several brave warriors to their calamities’ source. He steals the sacred item, the Palenke Stone, from Green Hell (a fictional country in South America) to gain the necessary power he needs for the ritual. He plans to get revenge on those who reigned against him, intending to resurrect Ambrosia into the mortal realm upon his release. Using the body of Shinzo, one of Hanzo Hattori's sons, he resurrects himself two years after the events of Hinowa.

More than a decade before the series begins, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada (loosely based on the historical figure), once leader to Christian rebellion, made a pact with an evil entity named Ambrosia moments before his execution. At the war’s end, Gaoh is defeated and Yoshitora is made the next shogun. The war caused by the conflict gains the interest from several warriors. He also hopes that his revolt will make the next shogun in line, Yoshitora Tokugawa, realize his responsibilities to his country. Upset by his country men’s lamentations and the shogun’s indifference to their plight, former Tokugawa general, Kyogoku Hinowanokami Gaoh, stages a rebellion in his land, Hinowa, against the reigning Tokugawa. The series begins during the Tenmei famine in Japan, which lead to a severe depression and near chaos throughout the country. 1811 – Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage ( PlayStation).1790 (late autumn through winter) – Samurai Shodown 64: Warriors Rage.1789 (autumn) through 1790 (summer) – Samurai Shodown 64.1789 (spring through summer) – Samurai Shodown II.1788 (autumn through early winter) – Samurai Shodown IV.

The stories in the series take place in 18th-century Japan, during the Sakoku or seclusion period of Japan, (the first four games run across 17) with great artistic license so that foreign-born characters (including some from places that didn’t exist as such in 1788) and fictional monsters can also be part of the story.
