Nicotine Caffeine (花諷院 和仲, Kafūin Nikochin) is a character introduced into the Samurai Shodown series in Samurai Shodown II. Similar to Neinhalt Sieger, he was dropped from the character lineup after his introduction and is then limited to mostly cameos or background story appearances. He was added as the ideal character for tricky players.

[edit] Story

He is the chief priest of Koka-in (a pun on "Cocaine"), a temple deep in the mountains of Hida, and former master swordsman who taught Haohmaru and Genjuro Kibagami. He once exorcised many demons in his prime and once encountered Mizuki Rashojin thirty years before the second game begins. He leaves his temple in order to save his disciples from Mizuki and to place a solid seal on her. In his ending to the game, he succeeds but accidentally lets her loose again. He returns home after her defeat and continues to offer sage advise to Haohmaru on his visits. Shiki's child, Mikoto, is raised in his temple.

[edit] Personality

In spite of being a wise elder, Nicotine takes life lightly. He has an enormous heart and is often seen smiling, even when fighting.

[edit] Powers

  • Summoning Magic - Using his o-fuda cards, Nicotine can summon a variety of mystical creatures.
    • Shikigami Summon: Electric Hawk - He can drop o-fuda card to summon a hawk-like shikigami entirely composed of electricity.
    • Shikigami Summon: Fire Beast - He can drop o-fuda card to summon a beast-like shikigami entirely composed of fire.
    • Doppelganger Summon - He can drop o-fuda card to summon a doppelganger of himself.
    • Deva King Summon - He can drop o-fuda card to summon giant Deva King, (their statues usually guard entrances to buddhist temples), also composed of fire.
  • Confuse Movement - Nicotine can reverse the controller motions of his enemies for a time.
  • Pump Up - Nicotine can temporarily revert to a more youthful appearance, giving him more muscles, physical strength, and a sword.
  • Seals - Nicotine's experience in sorcery allows him to perform various seals and barriers on demons.
  • Multiple Attacks - He can deliver several attacks with his staff in an amazing speed.
  • Poison Breath - He can blow a small poisonous cloud of poison.

[edit] Fighting Style

He fights with a wooden staff and magical sealing cards. Of these cards, he can send projectiles from a high or low angle, confusing players as to which position they should block. The character also possesses a move that can reverse controller movements for a time. Because of his small stature, his attack range is short, though largely effective when once in range.

  • Daimen's Nite Groove (Hot Sake Mix) - Samurai Remix VA (shared with Genjuro)
