Much like Ukyo
did for the Samurai Shodown series, Kaun balances out the Bushido
Blade roster as the soft-spoken, "silent but deadly" unassuming killer. I thought he was, by far, one of the coolest and most
compelling characters introduced in Bushido Blade 2, and that's actually saying a lot.
Kaun even had some unique animations and memorable moves in the game, including
an Iaido-style "sheath" stance (again, similar to Ukyo). Pound for pound, I'd say
Kain is one of the top designs of the entire Bushido Blade series and a
pretty underrated, under-appreciated design. For not having
much in-game dialogue, he still has quite a lot of charisma... "quiet
charisma" I guess you could call it. ;) I'm personally not a huge fan of
his alternate outfit (although it's not too bad), but his original attire suits
him well.
