 The game is not set during or after the events of "Soulcalibur V", however, but rather revisits and retells these of the original "Soulcalibur".Taki plays a lead role in the 1999 "Soulcalibur" manga series, in which she fights alongside Sophitia, first killing Cervantes and then destroying Nightmare.Taki has also joined the cast of the erotic franchise "Queen's Blade", starring (in a cartoonish version of her default appearance from "Soulcalibur IV") in her own gamebook, "Queen's Gate Taki" (神速の封刃 タキ), published in 2011.
