Talk:Yasuo/SkinsTrivia/@comment-6490420-20131124050802

Yasuo is a culmination of many samurai over the media. He is like Himura Kenshin because he fights Battojutsu styled, his story with Riven is meant to represent Kenshin/Seta Sojiro story also, Sojiro in return was loosely based on Okita Soji who was the captain of the first unit of the Shinsengumi. Yasuo is like Hoahmaru from Samurai Showdown (the exact same wind ability - Senpuu Retsu Zan (which can be seen in this video from 1:35 http://youtu.be/xBtDhdedxO0?t=1m35s) - Then watch this video from 1:25 to see what Yasuo's ultimate is based off http://youtu.be/2Qsf7O5u1Qk?t=1m25s), he looks a lot like Mitsurugi from Soul Edge/Soul Calibur. He does things that are very Samurai-esk, play the flute, honor his blade with alcohol or Sake (see his taunt) so on and so on. Not to mention hes drawn by Artgerm aka Stanley Lau, who is a freaking awesome artist and voiced by Liam O'Brian... Who did many characters such as Illidan Stormrage from Warcraft. I'm in nerd heaven.
