The infamous killer crab you guys have encountered in Genji: Days of the Blade might be a bit of a turn off for some of you. Face it. Giant crabs in feudal Japan? Spare us from all the ironies, but hey!, it does make an interesting cultural allusion to their history and folklore.

Anyways, finally some light is shed on why this crabby baddie actually made it to the game. Game producer Yoshiki Okamoto just confessed of a little grudge he has against the crustaceans. Via a translator, here's what the big guy's got to say:

Okamoto is allergic to crabs and that's the reason why, if you find its weak point, you can kill it with one blow. It's Okamoto's way of defeating the crab he hates.

With that said, I'm craving for a Krabby Patty. The full interview with Okamoto can be found in the latest issue of PSM3, so you guys might want to check it out. (Note to self - Lesson learned: being part of game development allows you to seek revenge on your allergies.)

I think it was Yagyu Jubei that took up arms against the giant crab of feudal Japan. I believe the legend goes that the crab emerged from the ocean one fated day and laid waste to villages all across the Japanese countryside. Jubei was called to vanquish said crab and they ended up doing battle just outside of his family's ancestral lands. For 20 days they fought. Then on the 20th night, Jubei, with his final breath, raised his sword as it glowed in the moonlight, and cast it through the giant crab's soft underbelly. There the two collapsed. The next morning he was lain to rest in his family's ancestral land, and from that day forth, the Japanese people looked back to that fateful day when their hero, Yagyu Jubei felled the giant crab and saved all of Japan.
