* FriendlyRivalry: Takechiyo shares a competitive rivalry with Haohmaru because he wishes to best him in combat.
* HeroWorshipper: After Haohmaru saved Takechiyo and his sister from being killed by bandits, Takechiyo promised to improve his sword-fighting so he could eventually defeat Haohmoru in a duel.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: He'd rather become a great swordsman like Haohmaru rather than continuing on his job as a farmer and working in the fields as stated in his character bio.
* LightningBruiser
* MeaningfulName: Written as "[[HotBlooded eternal intensity]]".
* OnlyOneName: He's just known as Takechiyo with no last name revealed for him.
* OralFixation: He has a piece of grass in his mouth, fitting for his personality.
* ShipTease: With Suzuhime
** RescueRomance: Genderflipped, as Suzuhime's the one who saved him in his backstory.
*** DoubleSubverted in Takechiyo's story mode, as his motivation is to SaveThePrincess after she's kidnapped by Golba. Even in Suzu's story mode ([[DamselOutOfDistress where she naturally doesn't need the rescuing]]), Takechiyo invokes this trope, promising to help Suzu if she needs him.
* ShoutOut: He is based on the historical concept of peasant-samurai from the UsefulNotes/SengokuPeriod, the most famous and successful example of the practice being UsefulNotes/ToyotomiHideyoshi.
* UnskilledButStrong: Has a rather unrefined fighting style, but very strong nonetheless.
* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: Fights with a bokuto, made for "smashing things".

[[folder:Suzuhime]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/19_suzuhime.jpg]]
-> '''Origin:''' ''[[FictionalCountry Kingdom of Lesphia]] [[labelnote:Flag]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flaglesphia.png[[/labelnote]] [[note]]The Kingdom of Lesphia is fictional, though it is similar to the many small, historic microstates that made up Europe in centuries past. The flag shown here is therefore that which represents all European microstates.[[/note]]''
-> '''Weapons:''' [[TragicKeepsake Her parents' keepsake]] [[{{BFS}} Bastard Sword]] and a [[InstrumentOfMurder yokobue (flute) with an iron core]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [[note]]Creator/KaeAraki[[/note]]
->She is the princess of a foreign country, orphaned when her parents' ship was attacked ten years prior to the events depicted in the game. She washed ashore on the beaches of Japan and was adopted by a daimyo who resides in Amori. One day, ten years later, she found Takechiyo along the shoreline of her home and nursed him back to health. After hearing that the ship he stowed away on collided with a ship bearing a particular crest, Suzuhime runs away from home two months before the game begins in order to pursue Golba.
----
* {{BFS}}: Her sword is quite huge, especially for a petite 14 year old.
* DamselInDistress: Most of the stories for the other characters have them needing to save Suzu after she's kidnapped by Golba's {{Mook}}s, although it's because Golba needs her and her sword as symbolic claims to the Lesphian throne, rather than the stereotypical reasons for kidnapping damsels. {{Subverted}} to Hell and BACK in her story mode [[DamselOutOfDistress where she plows through Golba, his henchmen, and anybody else who got in her way like tissue paper]].
* FictionalCountry: The Princess of one. Quite why on ''earth'' the game's producers decided to create a completely fictional homeland for her, when this is something the game has never included before, AND the fact that there were (still are!) a plethora of small, European kingdoms and principalities to choose from, remains a mystery. "[[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Lesphia]]" is a complete fabrication -- all we know is that it's a European monarchy of some sort, and is therefore likely based on monarchies such as UsefulNotes/{{Monaco}}, UsefulNotes/{{Liechtenstein}} or one of the many small principalities making up the UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire at the time the series is set.
* HugeGunTinyGirl: The size of Suzu's weapon is emphasized more by how comparatively small she is, compared to both her weapon, and to the rest of the cast.
* KillTheCutie: Is a cute 14-year-old girl who can be brutally decapitated and lose limbs, resulting in her bloody death.
* MeaningfulName: She's the "Bell Princess" (any name with "hime" included is princess-something/something-princess). The birth-name she bore before being castaway in Japan is unknown.
* MusicalAssassin: Her other weapon is a flute.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Is only 14, and is about the same size as Nakoruru or Rimururu: she packs WAY more damage than those two (and on par with some of the larger members of the cast), thanks to her handy-dandy {{BFS}}.
* PrincessInRags: Was raised as royalty in Europe, but on a sea voyage, her parents' ship was attacked and destroyed, and she ended up washing up on the shores of Japan.
* RescueRomance: Genderflipped, as she's the one who saved Takechiyo in his backstory. DoubleSubverted in Takechiyo's story mode, as his motivation is to SaveThePrincess after she's kidnapped by Golba. Even in Suzu's story mode ([[DamselOutOfDistress where she naturally doesn't need the rescuing]]), Takechiyo invokes this trope, promising to help Suzu if she needs him.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Well, [[DamselOutOfDistress in her storymode, at least]]. The others [[DamselInDistress have her kidnapped by Golba]] so she and her sword would give him political legitimacy for the Lesphian throne.
* ShipTease: With Takechiyo.

-> '''Weapon:''' [[BladeOnAStick Double-bladed staff]]
->A young Ottoman woman raised as an assassin by an unknown organization. She tried to flee but was allowed to live by pursuers from the same organisation. To ensure her safety and her possible freedom, Angelica is given two missions: to bring Suzuhime and a treasured sword back to them and to find a worthy samurai successor for their leader. She obeys, but is reluctant to leave their leader's side.
----
* AffirmativeActionGirl: ''Edge of Destiny'' saw the debut of many new nationalities amongst the cast, hers included. As an Ottoman (Turkish) woman, she represents not only the first Turkish character, but also the first middle-eastern, woman-of-colour in the series.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Being raised by a syndicate as an assassin has made her cold and ruthless, blindly hunting down those Golba wants dead. It's implied in Angelica's ending that her older sister deliberately let herself be killed during the MirrorMatch stage to try snapping Angelica out of this.
* EvilTwin: Since Angelica serves as a sub-boss for the rest of the characters, [[MindScrew she seemingly runs into one during her story mode]]. While technically not a twin ([[AntiVillain or even much of a villain]]), [[LukeIAmYourFather it turns out that Angelica just fought her older sister]]... oh, [[CainAndAbel and killed her]]. Whoops.
* HitmanWithAHeart: Undergoes a HeelFaceTurn in her storyline, and is hinted to be TheAtoner in Kim Hye-Ryen's endin
* IdenticalStranger: The short hair, tanned skin and white clothes are similar to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Elena]]. Also comparable to a brown-skinned Shiki.
* ProfessionalKillers: An assassin trained from birth by a syndicate which turns out to have been formed by Golba.

-> '''Weapon:''' [[BladeOnAStick Double-edged staff]]
->Hae-Ryeong is a Korean warrior who has defeated many evil doers in the name of justice. He travels to Japan as an emissary where he witnesses Angelica killing an assassin. He decides to go after her, sensing the great evil surrounding her. In his ending, he spots her but realizes that she no longer has a killing intent. Convinced that people can change for the better, Hae-Ryeong leaves her alone and proceeds on his journey.
----
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: His code of justice is usually enforced by him dueling and slaying evildoers.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: [[HeelRealization Realizes he suffers from this in his ending]] - first when he discovers that [[EvilOverlord Golba]] [[MyCountryRightOrWrong was also fighting to "bring justice" for his homeland Lesphia]] ([[WellIntentionedExtremist but was doing so as a militant tyrant]]), and also when he finds Angelica (the person he swore to hunt down at the start of the game) [[TheAtoner having changed her nature after he first saw her]].
* JusticeWillPrevail: Wouldn't be a Kim in a SNK game if he didn't have this.

-> '''Weapon:''' [[AnAxeToGrind Battle axe]]
->He is the leader of a band of honorable vikings who sail the seas looking for adventure and treasure. Many years prior to the game, his wife, Agnes, left on a trip to another country and never returned home. Hearing that a woman resembling her was found somewhere in Japan, he departs with his comrades to look for her. In his ending, he doesn't find, her yet hasn't lost hope that she is still out there.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: Carries a battle-ax as his weapon of choice.
* TheBigGuy: This dude can easily rival Wanfu in the sheer weight department!
* HornyVikings: Yes, really. [[AnachronismStew In the 1790s]] -- an utterly ludicrous contrivance, since the Viking peoples lived around ''800 years'' prior to the 1790s.
* MightyGlacier: Is by far one of the slowest of the roster, but can dish out plenty of hits.
* MovesetClone: Of Wan-Fu and/or Walter, although he uses his belly and head more than them.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Garros" isn't a Nordic name, though perhaps the kanji, when said phonetically, was meant to be translated as "Gareth", which is marginally more realistic.

-> '''Weapon:''' ''[[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis]]'', [[KatanasAreJustBetter a katana]]
->10 years prior to the events of the game, J. was an unfortunate sailor who washed up the shores of Japan. To survive, he learns to wield a blade and lovingly names his sword Elvis. He eventually meets and falls in love with a geisha and tries to buy her freedom without much success. Hearing of a reward for detailing the whereabouts of Suzuhime, he sets out in search of her.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Of ''Anime/AfroSamurai'', of course.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Was treated as a monster by the Japanese just for his skin color, and the only reason the geisha was kind to him was because she was literally blind to what made him an outcast.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Suffers this after being shipwrecked in Japan.
* MovesetClone: Of Takechiyo and/or Claude, with unique stances.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Likely based off of real African Samurai Yasuke who served Oda Nobunaga. At least, Yasuke provides a historical precedent for J.
* OneLetterName: Come on. '''J'''?
* ShoutOut: J's awkward ''[[SwordPlant Upside Hold]]'' stance is an homage to Irako Seigen's ''mumyou sakanagare'' technique from ''Manga/{{Shigurui}}'', whose anime adaptation came a year before ''Edge of Destiny''. Likewise, his ''Dempsey Step'' advancing sway is named after ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'''s iconic Dempsey Roll.

->Walter is a knight of the Mondschein Drache Empire and member of the Crimson Lion Knights like Neinhalt Sieger. After hearing that his home maybe soon invaded by a new threat, he leaves his home to investigate.
----
* FictionalCountry: The "Mondschein Drache Empire" is pure fiction, but it's a close allusion to the real-world Holy Roman Empire. He's even stated to be a member of the (Prussian) Crimson Lion Knights alongside Neinhalt Sieger.
* KnightTemplar: Literally, although a genuinely noble one.
* MeaningfulName: Germanic name that roughly translates to "[[BadassInCharge army ruler]].
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Embodies this when fighting for the Mondschein Drache Empire.

->Jinbei was a retired warrior, until one day, he rescued Suzuhime from the sea. He raised her until she met Takechiyo and ran away. Jinbei now searches for her.
----
* {{Expy}}: Could be based on ''Warriors Rage'''s Jin-Emon Hanafusa, being both OldMaster and managing a "[[BladeOnAStick crucifix spear]]" as his WeaponOfChoice.
* MeaningfulName: Sugamata means "[[FlowerMotifs one more sedge]]", and Jinbei is written as "[[PraetorianGuard palace guard's blade]]" but is pronounced [[PajamaCladHero as a traditional nightwear]].
* MovesetClone: Of Kyoshiro, but far less theatrical.

He was recently hired by Golba to eliminate any possible threats that come to the foreign ships stationed at Japan.
----
* AnachronismStew: Apart from being a WildWest cowboy in the 1790s, he uses a Winchester Rifle, a weapon that wouldn't be invented ''until over 70 years after the game he shows up in!!''
* BloodKnight: His pre-match dialogue suggests he is this.
* TheDragon: To Golba.
* GunsAreWorthless: Subverted oh-so-hard, especially for a video game. His usage of a rifle as a weapon brings him so much closer to SnkBoss territory than Golba--who actually is the final boss--that it isn't funny.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is always rude to his opponents when they face him... at best. At worst, he's downright evil and malicious.
* MeaningfulName: Ironically close to being literally TheDragon.
* PsychoForHire: He's a BountyHunter hired by Golba to intercept any of the warriors trying to track him down.
* SmugSnake: He acts pretty cocky in most of his intros ([[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight probably because he's brought a gun to a sword fight]])

-> '''Weapon:''' [[RoyalRapier Rapier]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[note]]Creator/NorioWakamoto[[/note]]
->Golba was one of the sons of Lesphia's king. He had attempted a coup d'etat after his brother became the chosen to be the rightful heir. After he failed, he was sent into exile and came to America. He joined and became an officer in the American army and eventually became a veteran of the Independence War. His participation in this war made him believe that creation of such powerful nation can become a threat to Europe. Desiring to protect his country and strengthen its military force, he seeks to conquer all of Europe.
Due to the comrades he made during the war, he has personal and influential connections around the world. During this time, he formed an assassin organization of which Angelica is a member. He uses this group to kill his niece's parents during their sea voyage in an attempt to claim Suzu's sword, a symbol of one's right to rule Lesphia. Unable to obtain it, he returns to America to use his military connections to weaken countries around the world and schemes to possibly use Suzu as a bargaining chip against his homeland. Seeking a strong military commander to rule his Lesphia army, he opted to recruit and lure certain strong warriors as well.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Leader of a faction wanting to take over Lesphia in a coup, and is the FinalBoss of the game.

* BigBad
* EyepatchOfPower
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: In spite of being TheGeneralissimo with scores of {{Mook}}s at his beck and call (with many of them clearly present in some story lines), they NEVER intervene in the battle between Golba and the player. The only time they DO challenge the player (AFTER Golba is killed, by the way) is during ''[[KabukiSounds Kyoshiro's]]'' ending, [[JokeCharacter of all people]] - [[CurbStompBattle and he cuts THEM down with ease]] [[DanceBattler through his "dancing"]].
* MeaningfulName: Maybe named after the [[SpaceBase Autostar Goruba space fortress]], GeneralRipper [[GeneralRipper Merudazu/Mölders/Meldarz's]] personal weapon [[Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato from the third and fourth Space Battleship Yamato films]].
* MovesetClone: Of Charlotte and/or Kirian, with unique moves.
* NewEraSpeech: Gives one for most of his introductions, [[WeCanRuleTogether when he tries to convince the player to join him as his general]].

[[JustThinkOfThePotential If you could instill your fighting spirit into my soldiers]], ''[[IncomingHam my army will be]] '''[[SuddenlyShouting INVINCIBLE!!!]]''''' (Cue his {{Mook}}s chanting "INVINCIBLE!!!")
* PressurePoint: According to [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]], his large damage output is explained by his ability to pinpoint opponent's vital points.
* WeCanRuleTogether: The reason the other warriors are involved in the story is because he intentionally lured in the strongest warriors to help serve as generals to his army, believing that getting a OneManArmy on his side would seal his victory for good. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard this often bites him in the ass]] [[ShutUpHannibal when the characters reject his offer, and VIOLENTLY]].
** AnOfferYouCantRefuse: A little disclaimer in his "WeCanRuleTogether" offer is that, if the warrior rejects his offer (even if it's because they don't want to fight anymore), he'll have to kill them on the spot, [[LeaveNoWitnesses just to ensure nobody would be alive to tell the world of his schemes]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His goals involve protecting his nation of Lesphia from the other nations of Europe, which would have conquered it already if Golba hadn't [[LetsYouAndHimFight created conflict within the nations whilst building up his army]]. A few characters even acknowledge how he's just trying to protect his nation from colonial conquest, [[MyCountryRightOrWrong or how he was simply acting in a way he considered being "loyal" to Lesphia]].

** RescueRomance: Genderflipped, as Suzuhime's the one who saved him in his backstory.
*** DoubleSubverted in Takechiyo's story mode, as his motivation is to SaveThePrincess after she's kidnapped by Golba. Even in Suzu's story mode ([[DamselOutOfDistress where she naturally doesn't need the rescuing]]), Takechiyo invokes this trope, promising to help Suzu if she needs him.
* ShoutOut: He is based on the historical concept of peasant-samurai from the UsefulNotes/SengokuPeriod, the most famous and successful example of the practice being UsefulNotes/ToyotomiHideyoshi.
* UnskilledButStrong: Has a rather unrefined fighting style, but very strong nonetheless.
* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: Fights with a bokuto, made for "smashing things".

[[folder:Suzuhime]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/19_suzuhime.jpg]]
-> '''Origin:''' ''[[FictionalCountry Kingdom of Lesphia]] [[labelnote:Flag]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flaglesphia.png[[/labelnote]] [[note]]The Kingdom of Lesphia is fictional, though it is similar to the many small, historic microstates that made up Europe in centuries past. The flag shown here is therefore that which represents all European microstates.[[/note]]''
-> '''Weapons:''' [[TragicKeepsake Her parents' keepsake]] [[{{BFS}} Bastard Sword]] and a [[InstrumentOfMurder yokobue (flute) with an iron core]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [[note]]Creator/KaeAraki[[/note]]
->She is the princess of a foreign country, orphaned when her parents' ship was attacked ten years prior to the events depicted in the game. She washed ashore on the beaches of Japan and was adopted by a daimyo who resides in Amori. One day, ten years later, she found Takechiyo along the shoreline of her home and nursed him back to health. After hearing that the ship he stowed away on collided with a ship bearing a particular crest, Suzuhime runs away from home two months before the game begins in order to pursue Golba.
----
* {{BFS}}: Her sword is quite huge, especially for a petite 14 year old.
* DamselInDistress: Most of the stories for the other characters have them needing to save Suzu after she's kidnapped by Golba's {{Mook}}s, although it's because Golba needs her and her sword as symbolic claims to the Lesphian throne, rather than the stereotypical reasons for kidnapping damsels. {{Subverted}} to Hell and BACK in her story mode [[DamselOutOfDistress where she plows through Golba, his henchmen, and anybody else who got in her way like tissue paper]].
* FictionalCountry: The Princess of one. Quite why on ''earth'' the game's producers decided to create a completely fictional homeland for her, when this is something the game has never included before, AND the fact that there were (still are!) a plethora of small, European kingdoms and principalities to choose from, remains a mystery. "[[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Lesphia]]" is a complete fabrication -- all we know is that it's a European monarchy of some sort, and is therefore likely based on monarchies such as UsefulNotes/{{Monaco}}, UsefulNotes/{{Liechtenstein}} or one of the many small principalities making up the UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire at the time the series is set.
* HugeGunTinyGirl: The size of Suzu's weapon is emphasized more by how comparatively small she is, compared to both her weapon, and to the rest of the cast.
* KillTheCutie: Is a cute 14-year-old girl who can be brutally decapitated and lose limbs, resulting in her bloody death.
* MeaningfulName: She's the "Bell Princess" (any name with "hime" included is princess-something/something-princess). The birth-name she bore before being castaway in Japan is unknown.
* MusicalAssassin: Her other weapon is a flute.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Is only 14, and is about the same size as Nakoruru or Rimururu: she packs WAY more damage than those two (and on par with some of the larger members of the cast), thanks to her handy-dandy {{BFS}}.
* PrincessInRags: Was raised as royalty in Europe, but on a sea voyage, her parents' ship was attacked and destroyed, and she ended up washing up on the shores of Japan.
* RescueRomance: Genderflipped, as she's the one who saved Takechiyo in his backstory. DoubleSubverted in Takechiyo's story mode, as his motivation is to SaveThePrincess after she's kidnapped by Golba. Even in Suzu's story mode ([[DamselOutOfDistress where she naturally doesn't need the rescuing]]), Takechiyo invokes this trope, promising to help Suzu if she needs him.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Well, [[DamselOutOfDistress in her storymode, at least]]. The others [[DamselInDistress have her kidnapped by Golba]] so she and her sword would give him political legitimacy for the Lesphian throne.
* ShipTease: With Takechiyo.

-> '''Weapon:''' [[BladeOnAStick Double-bladed staff]]
->A young Ottoman woman raised as an assassin by an unknown organization. She tried to flee but was allowed to live by pursuers from the same organisation. To ensure her safety and her possible freedom, Angelica is given two missions: to bring Suzuhime and a treasured sword back to them and to find a worthy samurai successor for their leader. She obeys, but is reluctant to leave their leader's side.
----
* AffirmativeActionGirl: ''Edge of Destiny'' saw the debut of many new nationalities amongst the cast, hers included. As an Ottoman (Turkish) woman, she represents not only the first Turkish character, but also the first middle-eastern, woman-of-colour in the series.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Being raised by a syndicate as an assassin has made her cold and ruthless, blindly hunting down those Golba wants dead. It's implied in Angelica's ending that her older sister deliberately let herself be killed during the MirrorMatch stage to try snapping Angelica out of this.
* EvilTwin: Since Angelica serves as a sub-boss for the rest of the characters, [[MindScrew she seemingly runs into one during her story mode]]. While technically not a twin ([[AntiVillain or even much of a villain]]), [[LukeIAmYourFather it turns out that Angelica just fought her older sister]]... oh, [[CainAndAbel and killed her]]. Whoops.
* HitmanWithAHeart: Undergoes a HeelFaceTurn in her storyline, and is hinted to be TheAtoner in Kim Hye-Ryen's endin
* IdenticalStranger: The short hair, tanned skin and white clothes are similar to [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII Elena]]. Also comparable to a brown-skinned Shiki.
* ProfessionalKillers: An assassin trained from birth by a syndicate which turns out to have been formed by Golba.

-> '''Weapon:''' [[BladeOnAStick Double-edged staff]]
->Hae-Ryeong is a Korean warrior who has defeated many evil doers in the name of justice. He travels to Japan as an emissary where he witnesses Angelica killing an assassin. He decides to go after her, sensing the great evil surrounding her. In his ending, he spots her but realizes that she no longer has a killing intent. Convinced that people can change for the better, Hae-Ryeong leaves her alone and proceeds on his journey.
----
* BlackAndWhiteMorality: His code of justice is usually enforced by him dueling and slaying evildoers.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: [[HeelRealization Realizes he suffers from this in his ending]] - first when he discovers that [[EvilOverlord Golba]] [[MyCountryRightOrWrong was also fighting to "bring justice" for his homeland Lesphia]] ([[WellIntentionedExtremist but was doing so as a militant tyrant]]), and also when he finds Angelica (the person he swore to hunt down at the start of the game) [[TheAtoner having changed her nature after he first saw her]].
* JusticeWillPrevail: Wouldn't be a Kim in a SNK game if he didn't have this.
** ThisIsUnforgivable: And this, too
* MovesetClone: Of Angelica, although with emphasis on kicks as per Kim tradition.

-> '''Weapon:''' [[AnAxeToGrind Battle axe]]
->He is the leader of a band of honorable vikings who sail the seas looking for adventure and treasure. Many years prior to the game, his wife, Agnes, left on a trip to another country and never returned home. Hearing that a woman resembling her was found somewhere in Japan, he departs with his comrades to look for her. In his ending, he doesn't find, her yet hasn't lost hope that she is still out there.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: Carries a battle-ax as his weapon of choice.
* TheBigGuy: This dude can easily rival Wanfu in the sheer weight department!
* HornyVikings: Yes, really. [[AnachronismStew In the 1790s]] -- an utterly ludicrous contrivance, since the Viking peoples lived around ''800 years'' prior to the 1790s.
* MightyGlacier: Is by far one of the slowest of the roster, but can dish out plenty of hits.
* MovesetClone: Of Wan-Fu and/or Walter, although he uses his belly and head more than them.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Garros" isn't a Nordic name, though perhaps the kanji, when said phonetically, was meant to be translated as "Gareth", which is marginally more realistic.

-> '''Weapon:''' ''[[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis]]'', [[KatanasAreJustBetter a katana]]
->10 years prior to the events of the game, J. was an unfortunate sailor who washed up the shores of Japan. To survive, he learns to wield a blade and lovingly names his sword Elvis. He eventually meets and falls in love with a geisha and tries to buy her freedom without much success. Hearing of a reward for detailing the whereabouts of Suzuhime, he sets out in search of her.
----
* CaptainErsatz: Of ''Anime/AfroSamurai'', of course.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Was treated as a monster by the Japanese just for his skin color, and the only reason the geisha was kind to him was because she was literally blind to what made him an outcast.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Suffers this after being shipwrecked in Japan.
* MovesetClone: Of Takechiyo and/or Claude, with unique stances.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Likely based off of real African Samurai Yasuke who served Oda Nobunaga. At least, Yasuke provides a historical precedent for J.
* OneLetterName: Come on. '''J'''?
* ShoutOut: J's awkward ''[[SwordPlant Upside Hold]]'' stance is an homage to Irako Seigen's ''mumyou sakanagare'' technique from ''Manga/{{Shigurui}}'', whose anime adaptation came a year before ''Edge of Destiny''. Likewise, his ''Dempsey Step'' advancing sway is named after ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'''s iconic Dempsey Roll.

-> '''Weapons:''' [[{{BFS}} Bastard sword]] and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe shield]]
->Walter is a knight of the Mondschein Drache Empire and member of the Crimson Lion Knights like Neinhalt Sieger. After hearing that his home maybe soon invaded by a new threat, he leaves his home to investigate.
----
* FictionalCountry: The "Mondschein Drache Empire" is pure fiction, but it's a close allusion to the real-world Holy Roman Empire. He's even stated to be a member of the (Prussian) Crimson Lion Knights alongside Neinhalt Sieger.
* KnightTemplar: Literally, although a genuinely noble one.
* MeaningfulName: Germanic name that roughly translates to "[[BadassInCharge army ruler]].
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Embodies this when fighting for the Mondschein Drache Empire.

->Jinbei was a retired warrior, until one day, he rescued Suzuhime from the sea. He raised her until she met Takechiyo and ran away. Jinbei now searches for her.
----
* {{Expy}}: Could be based on ''Warriors Rage'''s Jin-Emon Hanafusa, being both OldMaster and managing a "[[BladeOnAStick crucifix spear]]" as his WeaponOfChoice.
* MeaningfulName: Sugamata means "[[FlowerMotifs one more sedge]]", and Jinbei is written as "[[PraetorianGuard palace guard's blade]]" but is pronounced [[PajamaCladHero as a traditional nightwear]].
* MovesetClone: Of Kyoshiro, but far less theatrical.

----

->Draco is a Western outlaw, a hired gunman and bodyguard who takes his jobs in stride. In the past, he took the lives of many men for a sound sum of gold; one of his victims was Galford's father. He was recently hired by Golba to eliminate any possible threats that come to the foreign ships stationed at Japan.
----
* AnachronismStew: Apart from being a WildWest cowboy in the 1790s, he uses a Winchester Rifle, a weapon that wouldn't be invented ''until over 70 years after the game he shows up in!!''
* BloodKnight: His pre-match dialogue suggests he is this.
* TheDragon: To Golba.
* GunsAreWorthless: Subverted oh-so-hard, especially for a video game. His usage of a rifle as a weapon brings him so much closer to SnkBoss territory than Golba--who actually is the final boss--that it isn't funny.
* {{Jerkass}}: Is always rude to his opponents when they face him... at best. At worst, he's downright evil and malicious.
* MeaningfulName: Ironically close to being literally TheDragon.
* PsychoForHire: He's a BountyHunter hired by Golba to intercept any of the warriors trying to track him down.
* SmugSnake: He acts pretty cocky in most of his intros ([[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight probably because he's brought a gun to a sword fight]])

-> '''Weapon:''' [[RoyalRapier Rapier]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' [[note]]Creator/NorioWakamoto[[/note]]
->Golba was one of the sons of Lesphia's king. He had attempted a coup d'etat after his brother became the chosen to be the rightful heir. After he failed, he was sent into exile and came to America. He joined and became an officer in the American army and eventually became a veteran of the Independence War. His participation in this war made him believe that creation of such powerful nation can become a threat to Europe. Desiring to protect his country and strengthen its military force, he seeks to conquer all of Europe.
Due to the comrades he made during the war, he has personal and influential connections around the world. During this time, he formed an assassin organization of which Angelica is a member. He uses this group to kill his niece's parents during their sea voyage in an attempt to claim Suzu's sword, a symbol of one's right to rule Lesphia. Unable to obtain it, he returns to America to use his military connections to weaken countries around the world and schemes to possibly use Suzu as a bargaining chip against his homeland. Seeking a strong military commander to rule his Lesphia army, he opted to recruit and lure certain strong warriors as well.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Leader of a faction wanting to take over Lesphia in a coup, and is the FinalBoss of the game.
* BadassNormal: He's a very skilled warrior, a masterful tactician and a respected leader. Also, he is the first boss in the series who doesn't have and use any magical or supernatural powers.
* BigBad
* EyepatchOfPower
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: In spite of being TheGeneralissimo with scores of {{Mook}}s at his beck and call (with many of them clearly present in some story lines), they NEVER intervene in the battle between Golba and the player. The only time they DO challenge the player (AFTER Golba is killed, by the way) is during ''[[KabukiSounds Kyoshiro's]]'' ending, [[JokeCharacter of all people]] - [[CurbStompBattle and he cuts THEM down with ease]] [[DanceBattler through his "dancing"]].
* MeaningfulName: Maybe named after the [[SpaceBase Autostar Goruba space fortress]], GeneralRipper [[GeneralRipper Merudazu/Mölders/Meldarz's]] personal weapon [[Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato from the third and fourth Space Battleship Yamato films]].
* MovesetClone: Of Charlotte and/or Kirian, with unique moves.
* NewEraSpeech: Gives one for most of his introductions, [[WeCanRuleTogether when he tries to convince the player to join him as his general]].
--> I welcome you, true warrior.

[[JustThinkOfThePotential If you could instill your fighting spirit into my soldiers]], ''[[IncomingHam my army will be]] '''[[SuddenlyShouting INVINCIBLE!!!]]''''' (Cue his {{Mook}}s chanting "INVINCIBLE!!!")
* PressurePoint: According to [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]], his large damage output is explained by his ability to pinpoint opponent's vital points.
* WeCanRuleTogether: The reason the other warriors are involved in the story is because he intentionally lured in the strongest warriors to help serve as generals to his army, believing that getting a OneManArmy on his side would seal his victory for good. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard this often bites him in the ass]] [[ShutUpHannibal when the characters reject his offer, and VIOLENTLY]].
** AnOfferYouCantRefuse: A little disclaimer in his "WeCanRuleTogether" offer is that, if the warrior rejects his offer (even if it's because they don't want to fight anymore), he'll have to kill them on the spot, [[LeaveNoWitnesses just to ensure nobody would be alive to tell the world of his schemes]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His goals involve protecting his nation of Lesphia from the other nations of Europe, which would have conquered it already if Golba hadn't [[LetsYouAndHimFight created conflict within the nations whilst building up his army]]. A few characters even acknowledge how he's just trying to protect his nation from colonial conquest, [[MyCountryRightOrWrong or how he was simply acting in a way he considered being "loyal" to Lesphia]].
