''The Last Blade'' (in Japanese, ''Bakumatsu Roman: Gekka no Kenshi'', "Tales of the Shogunate's End: Moonlight Swordsman") is a [[OrphanedSeries cruelly short-lived]] (two games in two years total, NGP ports notwithstanding) FightingGame series developed and published by {{Creator/SNK}} in the [[TheNineties late 90s]] -- their prime. Seen by many as a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' series, ''LB'' still managed to stand out with its melodramatic aesthetic, extremely smooth animation and two modes of play (Speed and Power). However, the games have a mixed reputation, while their aesthetic and animation is top notch, both games, especially ''The Last Blade 2'', have a reputation of being quite [[GameBreaker broken]] in TournamentPlay.

* DemotedToExtra: Yuki is the main heroine of the series, but has ''rarely'' set foot outside her own series, unlike Akari and Hibiki. Also, she took a tremendous dive in [[CharacterTiers character rankings]] in her transition from ''The Last Blade'' to ''The Last Blade 2''. Yuki's only appearance outside the series so far is in the rather obscure mobile game ''SNK All Stars'' (not to be confused with [[VideoGame/KOFAllStars the KOF one]]) where she's the representation of the series aside of Kaede.
