Samurai Spirits - Haoumaru Jigokuyuki

Before the events of the first Samurai Shodown game, Haohmaru, Charlotte, Nakoruru, Hanzo, and Ukyo come face to face for the first time as the resurrected Amakusa enters their story. This manga follows their encounters in the period leading up to the game. The series also introduces a demon samurai who looks exactly like Haohmaru, a concept SNK later uses for Rasetsumaru in Samurai Shodown V. Shiro Ohno’s story leads into a second series by the same author, which adapts the first two games.
