Terminology: here is some information regarding things that have been involved with Mitsurugi.
Tanegashima Rifle
It was during the Sengoku Period in Japan when the war tactics in Japan changed greatly when rifles were first introduced in 1543 when a Chinese ship which carried Portuguese ship wrecked ashore Nishimuro, small inlet of Tanegashima. A man named Tokitaka, in awe of this object which ignites fire while making a sound similar to that of thunder, puchased two from the portuguese and asks several iron craftsmen to make imitations of it. Since the Sengoku Period in Japan is known for being a civil war period, rifles were very popular and spread quickly all over japan. A battle which the tanegashima rifles were involved would be Shinano Asahi Yamashiro battle in 1555.
The tanegashima rifle wasn't the first firearm introduced in Japan. The first one would be a firearms from China which wasn't as efficient as the the firearms from the Portuguese.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi

If you haven't noticed, Soul Calibur evolves around real things that has happened in the past. If you were to ask around which year the stories evolve around my guess would be around 1545 - 1553. Why would i assume this? Mitsurugi's story basically gives it away. :)
