An endless sea of blood floods the realm as the demonic Zankuro slashes a path of grisly terror! But even Zankuro can't be everywhere. Some say fate lent a hand when a dozen infants escaped the slaughter! Now, years later, 12 revenge-driven samurai begin their violent quest... for the head of Zankuro!

While it is the third game in the main series, it is the first part of a two-chapter interlude between Samurai Shodown and Samurai Shodown II. The third series of Samurai Shodown introduces 2 different techniques for each character. The "Slash" techniques are the original moves of the most of the characters whereas the "Bust" techniques the "darker" version of each character.
