[[File:Sprite 3DS Super Samurai Slice Woman.png|thumb|32px]]At some point, the samurai travels the lands of old to complete his training<ref>"I am a samurai traveling the lands of old to complete my training." ~ Dialogue in [[Super Samurai Slice]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, and at that moment, the demons kidnap a lady walking through the streets. He proceeds to slice every demon in his path to rescue her. The villagers are left confused by the black debris on the ground, as the samurai did not stay for the recognition<ref>"After every full moon, there are piles of this stuff lying all over the village.

Later on, the demons strike again and kidnap four ladies at once, with the samurai once again slicing many demons along the way to save them. This time he even gets a ride from [[Mister Eagle]] and uses a lightning bolt technique. The village scientists eventually figure out the debris comes from the monsters, and are mystified as the blue pieces are cool to the touch<ref>"After much research, the village scientists figured out the black debris is from monsters. They're mystified by these blue pieces that are so cool to the touch, though." ~ [[Splash Debris]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, but they are apparently more difficult to clean up<ref>"黒いヤツは、オバケのカケラだと分かったけど、この青いヤツは、いまだナゾのまま。さわるとヒンヤリしてて、キモチイイ。この青いカケラ、黒いのにくらべて、そうじがタイヘンなもんだから、そうじ係のおきぬ、おこってたよ。" (We found out that the black one is a piece of a monster, but this blue one is still a mystery. When you touch it, it feels nice and tingly. This blue piece is much more difficult to clean than the black one, so the cleaning staff was very upset.) ~ [[Splash Debris|水しぶきのカケラ]] (Splashing Pieces), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>. | |||
In all of the [[Remix]]es the samurai has appeared in, he is seen protecting the village he wandered into for a little while longer before continuing on his journey. In [[Remix 4 (Wii)|Remix 4]] from ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' specifically, he is seen protecting a castle from the [[Demons]], while a [[Ringside|Wrestler interview]] and [[Packing Pests|sorting job]] seem to be occurring inside | The Wandering Samurai also took on a [[mariowiki:Samurai Slice|part-time job at a fish factory]], where he slices fish with his sword, in a ''[[mariowiki:Game & Wario|Game & Wario]]'' microgame. | ||

*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', the game [[Samurai Slice (Wii)|Samurai Slice]] ends with a "To be continued..." message displayed on the screen, and [[Samurai Slice 2]] ends with a "The End" message. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the game [[Samurai Slice (Wii)|Samurai Slice]] stills ends with a "To be continued..." message, despite that [[Samurai Slice 2]] is not present in this game. It can be inferred that [[Super Samurai Slice]] and [[Super Samurai Slice 2]] are the continuation instead, and so it can also be inferred that [[Samurai Slice 2]] may take place after them. | *In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', the game [[Samurai Slice (Wii)|Samurai Slice]] ends with a "To be continued..." message displayed on the screen, and [[Samurai Slice 2]] ends with a "The End" message.

*In ''[[Rhythm World]]'', the samurai's clothes were made to look more like a "pojol" (Korean police during the [[wikipedia:Joseon|Joseon]] period). He was also given a beard. ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best Plus]]'' also feature the Wandering Samurai in this outfit, albeit with a headband instead of a hat and without the beard. His design is changed further in [[Samurai Slice 2]], going from a lightning-based rework of his normal outfit in other versions to a new outfit with a hat decorated with lightning blots, and sporting the beard once again, in ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]''. | *In ''[[Rhythm World]]'', the samurai's clothes were made to look more like a "pojol" (Korean police during the [[wikipedia:Joseon|Joseon]] period).
