Yoshimitsu's is actually an inversion, as in his case 'the sword names the user' ('Yoshimitsu' is only a title taken by the leader of the Manji, that being the one accepted by the sword 'Yoshimitsu').

#Soulcalibur iv cover character series

Named Weapons: Almost every weapon used by the cast has a name, with some characters going through several weapons through the course of the series (Mitsurugi: Korefuji -> Shishi-Oh -> Muchimonji, Maxi: Fatibal -> Soryuju, Xianghua: Krita-Yuga/Soul Calibur ->, etc.).Hilde is the main exception - while pretty, she's not played for fanservice at all but instead wears a suit of armor that completely covers her. Fanservice: Almost all of the female fighters embody this to varying degrees, though some like Ivy and Taki take the cake. Fanservice: Though not as prominent as the ladies, the guys give plenty of eye candy with muscles, good looks, and shirtless scenes. Morality Kitchen Sink: Clear-cut heroes, anti-heroes, villains, anti-villains, neutrals and Blue-and-Orange Morality are all present.Fantasy Kitchen Sink: The cast includes a warrior blessed by the Greek gods, a samurai, a knight, a mystical ninja, a ghost pirate, two vampires, an immortal scary black man, a tin tyrant wielding an Artifact of Doom, an interdimensional being, another ninja with mystical powers ( also a cyborg fighting clown), a teenage priestess who can control the wind, a golem, and a lizardman, and that's not all of them.Costume Evolution: Each game gives the playable cast a new costume, often skimpier than the last.

For example: Siegfried, clad head-to-toe in armor, has the same durability as Taki, who wears tight spandex.

Armor Is Useless: Armor is purely aesthetic in terms of gameplay.
