This page lists artwork, concepts and sketches of unknown characters from Soul Edge Official Fanbook ~Chronicle~ and Legend of Soulcalibur, some of which were later uploaded to the Japanese website for Soulcalibur.[1] None of them ever made it to the final games, yet some concepts and ideas have returned in altered form throughout the subsequent iterations.

The following four drafts were made during the transition from Soul Edge to Soulcalibur.

Soulcalibur II[]

As revealed by Yoshinori Takahashi on twitter, in the early stages of Soulcalibur II, Seidou Nagumo and Setsu were two characters that were originally planned to have replaced Mitsurugi and Taki, respectively.[5][6] While this did not end up happening, Setsu's design would be repurposed for Taki's 2P outfit[7] and Seidou's name would later appear on one of the relationship charts that appears in New Legends of Project Soul.[8][9]
