Because of the storyline, most of the characters have split from their respective factions in the original games and have been forced into other scenatios. Characters from different factions band together in each subplot to confront Orochi. Each subplot is named after one of the Three Kingdoms, and one from the perspective of the Samurai Warriors characters. More characters are unlocked as the player progresses through the story or satisfies certain conditions in certain stages. Each subplot starts the player with three characters. The story is told in four separate but related subplots. By creating a twisted new world and bringing together warriors from the Three Kingdoms era of China and the Warring States period of Japan (more than 1,000 years apart in history), Orochi wished to test the might of the warriors of these two eras. Yamata no Orochi,the all powerful Serpent King, created a rift in time and space.
