SHURA SOULCALIBUR IV SERIES

Zasalamel is the first of two characters known thus far who have any knowledge of the Original Timeline, the second being Cassandra.

His taunt animation against Nightmare and Inferno is that from Abyss.

By default, Zasalamel is the only male character to have the sacred visual during his soul charge.

In addition, Zasalamel's weapon is represented by one of the statues on Algol's stage.

Zasalamel, Talim, Yun-seong and Rock are the only characters not to appear and not to have a successor to replace them.

Hideo Yoshie via his twitter account reported that Zasalamel was not planned for Soulcalibur 5. Apparently Zasalamel, Kamikirimusi and 2 or 3 Generic Female Characters served as placeholders for other Legendary Souls bosses that were discarded.

Even though he does not appear in game, his Soulcalibur IV player 1 character model was found when the games files were hacked.

Also, in the ending, he strongly resembles Cobra Bubbles, a character from Disney's Lilo and Stitch series.

Zasalamel's ending is the second to involve modern times, the first one being Soul Edge's ending in Soul Edge.

In Kilik's, he recreates Xianglian, Kilik's beloved adopted sister and Xianghua's biological sister, and in Algol's, he recreates Arcturus, Algol's son who the king was forced to kill thousands of years ago when the youth was possessed by Soul Edge. In Siegfried's, Zasalamel creates his father Frederick, who Siegfried accidentally killed.

It should also be noted that all these people were inadvertently killed by the respective character.

In the Story Modes of Siegfried, Kilik, and Algol, Zasalamel creates illusions of those who are close to these three and who are now dead.It seems that the only known way to play as Revenant is to play through Zasalamel's Story Mode.In Chain of Souls, Zasalamel is one of two characters shown exploiting both Siegfried and Nightmare, the first being Shura.Zasalamel and his alter-ego, Abyss, are the only characters in Soulcalibur III's Tales of Souls Story Mode to be fought in everyones' story even if the player uses Zasalamel.Some argue that it is neither, that he is just asleep from writing so many books. It appears that in Zasalamel's Input Ending, Zasalamel is dead when he finishes his last book, or waiting for his life to end.The origin of the current incarnation is speculated to be in the Nubian region of Africa.
