Yaci Izanagi

Yaci Izanagi (十六薙 夜血, Izanagi Yachi) is a character who appears only in Samurai Shodown: Warriors Rage.

Story
He is one of the most formidable warriors dwelling in the streets of the prison island of Ritenkyo. He makes a living as a free-lancer bodyguard with his friend in crime, Haito Kanakura. His life changes when he meets a popular geisha, Tomohime, who eventually becomes his boyfriend under the guise Namino. Wishing to have a better future together, Yaci promises to cease his life of crime and escape Ritenkyo with him. In order to accomplish this task, he decides to move up in the Riten Kyo scale and become as powerful as the Razor Trio or the bakufu. Aware of his proceedings, the Razor Trio kidnap Namino and force Yaci to save him.

He overthrows the Razor Trio in his ending and reunites with his beloved. A thug, bitter at Yaci for throwing Ritenkyo into chaos, sneaks upon them and attempts to snipe him with a gun. Namino shields Yaci from the shot, and an infuriated Yaci kills the assailant. Desperate to uphold his promise, he takes the wounded Namino to a boat on the shores of Ritenkyo. To his dismay, Namino dies shortly after they set sail.

Personality
Unlike his partner, Haito, Yaci is quieter and haughtier when he's on the job. He thinks highly of himself and isn't afraid to let others know about it.

Fighting Style
Yaci's fighting style is the base for bonus characters Mugenji and Yuda (similar in a way to Ryu and Ken movesets from Street Fighter games). This style is based on use of reversals, stunning moves and a poison fireball (poisoned dagger in Yaci's case) which drains opponent's current lifebar throughout the match. Comparing the three characters when playing on high level, there is a number of differences. Yaci is fastest and weakest (in terms of damage output) among three characters. He excels at long-range combat, mainly because of his speed his fireball comes out fast, which also enables him to actually combo into it; his normal attacks tend to push opponent far away; his Stun Slash has longest reach among other Stun Slashes in the game, and its really fast as well.
