Samurai

The Samurai or SW (戦国, Sengoku) force is an alliance exclusive to the Warriors Orochi series. The characters in this particular faction all follow a character from the Samurai Warriors series. Unlike the other factions, these characters are more likely to separate from one another after their story's climax. They also do not serve a particular lord for a kingdom and are joined by their common desire to end Orochi.

Story
In the first game, Nobunaga and two of his men, Mitsuhide Akechi and Hideyoshi Hashiba start at Xiang Yang and save the outnumbered Guan Ping and Huang Zhong the Wei forces allied with Orochi. The veteran general informs his savior that Cao Cao is at Honnoji. When Nobunaga arrives at the temple however, he finds it is Da Ji in disguise and is nearly burned alive. Xiahou Dun and Shingen Takeda arrive to assist. In Kyushu, Nobunaga's troops fight the Yellow Turbans who refused to side with Orochi and recruit them but prepare to give Sakon Shima a message to send to Sun Jian. The Oda army hold off Dong Zhuo's forces at Tong Gate, long enough for Sakon to complete his mission to tell Sun Ce on where Sun Jian might be. At Guan Du, the Owari lord attacks the castle held by Da Ji. After the fighting, they here that in their distraction efforts, Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen were killed. The Oda forces next head to Fan Castle to face off with Cao Pi and an angry Xiahou Dun. With things going according to the Oda, Orochi sends a massive army in a full scale assault at Wu Zhang Plains. When victory for the demons seemed at hand, Shingen and Kenshin arrive and save the day. The united clans set out to finish Orochi at Koshi Castle and in the battle's aftermath, prepare themselves for another era of war.
