Comment:
When one character design gains a certain amount of popularity (in this case, Nakoruru), some sort of "clone" usually appears, sharing many of the same attributes; and in most cases the same clothing style... Rimururu is just that, but has slowly developed her own appeal and uniqueness. She marks "beginning" of the era in the Samurai Shodown series when the series started to slowly steer away from realism, and into a more fantasy themed realm; with characters using more unusual weapons. Therefore, Rimururu doesn't really appeal to me as a character design, and no I'm not particularly fond of her magical ice crystal that she fights with, but I'm sure some people out there like her for her uniqueness.
