Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


A list of characters from Musashi: Samurai Legend.

Warning, spoilers ahead.

Main Characters

Musashi

The Hero and main character, Musashi is a wannabe samurai warrior who was summoned by Mycella to save Antheum from the evil clutches of Gandrake Enterprises. Along the way, he rescues the mystics and recovers the elemental swords in order to defeat Gandrake.

  • Awesome By Analysis: He can learn new techniques by observing them in action, though he risks taking a hit from any attack he's focusing on if he stuffs it up. He actually counters moves he's learning with the move he's learning.
  • Bare Your Midriff
  • Blade of Fearsome Size: His signature Great Oar, as well as the five elemental swords.
  • Blue Eyes
  • Bridal Carry: He gets to do this to all of the Maidens and Mycella.
  • Character Development: At first, he's somewhat reluctant about being taken out of his world to save another. Later on, he becomes The Messiah after spending time with the Mystics, and falling in love with Mycella.
  • Chaste Hero: He appears to be clueless after Clochette gives him an ambiguous proposition.
  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Musashi is voiced by a woman in both the English and Japanese versions.
  • Deadpan Snarker - Somewhat. Most of what Musashi says is straight-forward, but he gets some good snark in from time to time.

Musashi: I knew you were nuts, but talking rocks!?!? Do they sing and dance too?

Musashi: "Not good..."

Princess Mycella

Antheum's princess, and the one who summoned Musashi in first place. She's kidnapped by Gandrake and must be rescued. Repeatedly. She develops a crush on Musashi.

  • Big Good
  • Blue Eyes: They're more of an aqua color.
  • Damsel in Distress: She's kidnapped at the very beginning of the game, and the prologue consists of rescuing her.
    • This happens a total of three times in the game. To list:
      • 1: The beginning of the game, where she is kidnapped by Rothschild and kept at a tower to be saved by Musashi. After the rescue, Musashi and Mycella venture to the peak of the tower, where Mycella gets knocked out and re-kidnapped by Gandrake.
      • 2: During a mission to rescue Maribo from the same tower where Mycella was first kept, Musashi learns from Maribo that the princess is held somewhere else within the same tower. He finds and frees her again, and successfully brings both of them back to Antheum.
      • 3: Later on, Clochette finds Mycella at Antheum, kidnaps her at gunpoint, and sends her to Rampart Isle, the final stage of the game. Mycella even lampshades that this is the third time Musashi had to carry her when he saves her.
  • Designated Love Interest
  • Disney Death
  • Everything's Better with Princesses
  • Intimate Healing: A rather innocent version: During the battle against Shadow Musashi, she can heal Musashi if he carries her.
  • Leitmotif: "Mystical Princess"
  • Princesses Prefer Pink
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: She even assists Musashi during the first battle against Gandrake, who has changed into Shadow Musashi.
