Video Game Geisha Assassins

[Mulboyne]

The PC strategy game Total War Shogun was released in 2000 and was reasonably successful. As well as pitching armies against each other in the field, the game allowed you to train spies and assassins. The best assassin was a geisha who never failed to kill but couldn't always catch up with her target. Whenever a geisha did reach her victim, be it a diplomat, foreign priest, general or shogun, the game ran a short animated clip which one YouTube user has collected below. Because a geisha always succeeded, there could only be one result when she met another geisha:

The game also featured ninjas as assassins and the video below shows their successes. Only a well-trained or lucky ninja had a chance against a geisha assassin. The last video shows what happened when the ninja failed.
