Golba

Golba (ゴルバ, Goruba) is the final boss and main antagonist of Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny. He shares similar design motifs with the character General Donald Morden from the Metal Slug series. However, it is not confirmed whether or not the two characters are related. He is voiced by Norio Wakamoto.

Story
Golba is a veteran of the Independence War that happened in America. Due to the comrades he made during the war, he has personal and influential connections around the world. He apparently wants to start a world revolution to change the times of the era. His main goal is to capture Suzuhime and use her as a bargaining chip against her home country, Lesphia. He would then use the powerful kingdom to conquer the countries weakened by his exploits around the world.

Personality
A natural gentlemen who seems to respects his challengers. He believes his many crimes around the globe are for a just cause and doesn't feel guilty about his actions.

Fighting Style
As a contrast to Draco, Golba is a quick and fearsome close-ranged character. He relies thrusts from his rapier for high damaging hits. In stark contrast to previous bosses of franchise, Golba uses no magic, no special powers, and nothing remotely resembling special moves. Instead his whole concept is "generic fighter with heightened stats" as he has heightened damage output, speed, range and pushback on all his attacks. This essentially makes him a character who has no real weakness.
