abstract
  • Samurai Derby (ダービー無双, Derby Musou) is a Samurai Warriors 4 collaboration project with the Japanese Racing Association (JRA). One part of the project is a free-to-play online browser game. Its gimmick pairs Samurai Warriors characters with famous Japanese racehorses as they race on the Tokyo Race Course against their rivals. Music and voice actors from the game are reused for each character's story. Koinuma stated that business talks for Samurai Derby were light so its realization surprised him, much like JRA's 2013 Shingeki no Kyojin collaboration. JRA were the ones mainly in charge of directorial decisions for the project. They wanted to use Tomu Miyazaki's Internet popularity and Matthew Perry to associate Perry's infamous "black ships" with the horse bearing them as its namesake. The collaboration commemorates and raises awareness to the 81st Nihon Debry (G1 race) on June 1, 2014. Visitors uninterested in the webgame may want to enjoy the fully voiced cinematics on the website that lightly parody the fourth title's seriousness.
