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.
