Yet another opponent unworthy of my blade.
~ Setsuka
Heishiro Mitsurugi, you murdered my master! For that, I shall have your head!
~ Setsuka in her Soul Calibur VI trailer.

Setsuka is a character in the Soul series of fighting games. She debuted in Soulcalibur III. Known as The Resolute Avenger. She is a warrior out on a quest to kill Mitsurugi after the latter killed her master. She is also set to appear as a DLC character in Soul Calibur VI.

What lies in her soul is Devotion in Soul Calibur IV and she is nicknamed Drifting Snow Blossom in Soul Calibur VI.

She was voiced by Nanaho Katsuragi in the Japanese version, and by formerly Kari Wahlgren in Soulcalibur III and currently by Tara Platt in Soulcalibur IV and Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.

Personality[]

If there is one word that describes Setsuka, it's vengeful. Following the death of her master at the hands of Mitsurugi, Setsuka is hell-bent on killing the samurai for the sinful action. While she herself is aware revenge is often not the right decision, she feels that a sense of justice must be met after the evil deed Mitsurugi committed.

Despite her wrathful demeanor, she also has a more benevolent side. In her Soulcalibur IV ending, she spared Algol, making him choose the path he wished to follow.

After confronting Mitsurugi sometime around the events of Soulcalibur V, her vengeful side also diminished, after realizing that killing Mitsurugi would yield nothing positive. She would go on to share this lesson with Patroklos Alexander, whose personality also changes as a result of this moral.
