Sunpu - Fujimi no ma (駿府・富士見の間 Sunpu - Fujimi no ma?, literally Sunpu - Room of Fujimi) is a battle stage featured in the video games Samurai Shodown V and Samurai Shodown V Special. The player usually faces Yoshitora Tokugawa in the Arcade mode, while the CPU select this stage randomly regardless the player's characters during Vs mode.
Description[]
This place looks like a big and elegant bedroom built with red pillars and boards. At the left side there is a small altar adorned with floral details, lamps, a daishō (大小) placed in their support, white curtains with the symbol of the Tokugawa family, and a paper writing can be seen on-wall at the back; on the top of the altar there is a minuature castle. The bedroom is with its fusumas (襖) wide open, and six white paper lanterns are found along the top frame, with a wooden sign written with kanjis in the middle of them. Two purple cushions are lying on the tatami (畳), white pottery, and a little table split in two as well. Far away Mount Fuji can be seen with an excellent sunset panoramic.
During the special, climatic moment of the match (or if any player activates Rage Explosion) the stage turns empty, just with clouds and tatami on the ground, all with a dye in red.
