Trivia[]
- Original Yasuo
- He references and resembles Miyamoto Musashi and/or Haoumaru from Samurai Shodown via his iconic ponytail design shared with these individuals, where in Musashi's case, it is in reference to the common visual design he is depicted with in fictional media.
- Haoumaru himself is based on Miyamoto Musashi as well.
- Another note in regards to Yasuo is how his Steel Tempest in the Chinese servers is named/dubbed as 斬鋼閃 (Zhǎngāngshǎn, lit. Slashing Steel Flash), which when read in Japanese with the same characters (Zankousen) is exactly the same name as one of Haoumaru's special moves which is the stronger version of his original standing heavy slash, the Zantetsusen (斬鉄閃, lit. Slashing Iron Flash).
- Another note in regards to Yasuo is how his
- Yasuo's taunt in most of his skins (save for Nightbringer Yasuo's demon form, as well as Truth and Dream Dragon Yasuo) involves him intaking fluids from his bamboo flask, then spitting the fluids on his blade to "bless it". This is another nod to Haoumaru via a habit done by him in his home series' battle intros.
- Haoumaru himself is based on Miyamoto Musashi as well.
