In addition to the overkill moves, generic fatality effects from "Samurai Shodown IV" were brought back for this game, such as being slashed in half horizontally. New fatality effects were also added, such as being split in half vertically with the victim drenching their opponent in blood. In addition, Nakoruru and Rimururu, who were both made "immune" to fatal effects in "Samurai Shodown III" and "Samurai Shodown IV", are able to experience these fatal effects at the end of the match, and in some situations, they scream violently.
