Yoshimitsu-Yoshimitsu was the only survivor of the Manji Clan, after it was attacked by the samurai lord Oda Nobunaga.
Yoshimitsu lost his right arm during the battle against Lord Oda, but that did not stop him from crossing the sea to find Soul Edge, rumored to be the ultimate weapon in all of existence. Yoshimitsu wanted the weapon to take his revenge against Nobunaga.
During his travels, he came across horrific atrocities left behind by a knight in azure armor. He sensed the hatred and despair of the knight's victims and reflected on his situation.
"Vengeance will be mine, but if I continue along this path, I will be no better then Nobunaga or the azure knight..."
Even as this moral dilemma gnawed at his soul, he continued his search for the sword of vengeance.
