the power behind the weapons: It is the "Toshin", or god of fighting. Characters While all characters are brand new, Eiji, Naru and Vermillion returns since their last appearance in the third game. Team 1: Subaru Shinjo Naru Amoh Rook Castle Team 2: Puella Marionette Lancelot Lakeknight Fan Barefoot Team 3: Genma Miyabi Bang-Boo Team 4 (Unlockable Characters): Eiji Shinjo Eos Zero Team 5 (Unlockable Character): Vermilion Regional differences The PAL release of Toshinden 4 made a couple of graphical changes to the original Japanese release, aside from the renaming of the game; the plain string linking Rook's nunchuks was replaced with an electricity inspired effect. Bang Boo and Eos's warm up animations also had the ends cut resulting in a sudden jump in their animations. Reception The game was poorly received. Official PlayStation Magazine opined the "multiple game modes provide no cover for a lackluster fighting game".
