The History: Soul Calibur
Mitsurugi lost all traces of Soul Edge and remained unaware of its true form. Without a weapon superior to the Tanegashima rifle he felt he could never return home. But his irritation drove him mad and he chose to duel against the Tanegashima in front of lords. Despite his skill the Tanegashima bested him and Mitsurugi took a bullet in the chest.
Completely defeated, Mitsurugi realized he needed to study additional arts of the sword to match the Tanegashima rifle. After learning new styles he heard the story of a knight named Nightmare and his invincible sword roaming Europe in a trail of blood. "Prepare for my arrival, Naito-whatever? I'll be there to take your sword!" Mitsurugi once again prepared for his journey.
Epilogue
After countless battles the demon blade "Soul Edge" was finally in his hands. While returning to his homeland he was ambushed by pirate ship. The bloodthirsty pirates surrounded Mitsurugi. As he looked down the barrel of their guns he smiled and murmured, "I've had enough of duels... let's play with the sword!" This was the last anyone heard of the samurai who was called "The mercenary in the warlike age". No one knows where his journey ended.
