'Samurai Arms' was originally going to fight Batou during the bar shoot-out, but he ended up on the cutting room floor. This was a continuation of some ideas my friends Adam Middleton and Greg Tozer had been looking at. Adam had done a bunch of cool prosthetic designs for the face, and Greg had come up with this wicked idea where some gang members would adorn themselves with pearlescent, armour-like tattoos.
