Samuku

Samuku is a boss fought in Spark the Electric Jester. It is fought in Smog Sewer, being the ending boss of the stage in Spark's story. In Fark's story, Samuku is immediately followed by The Beast, however.

Appearance
Samuku has a gray ovoid body, with a jagged overbite that a lot of the GPAs have. It has two "ears", each with red markings. It has an orange visor, and its underbelly is black. It has two gray legs with black wheels, and it wields a katana with a red handle.

In its EX form, the only changes are that the orange in its palette is changed to a hot pink.

Pattern
Once starting the fight, it is advised that the player immediately get away from the left-hand side of the screen. Samuku will land there, causing a shockwave which you have to jump over. Samuku has three attacks.
 * It will jump into the air, then land on you. This will cause shockwaves, as it did at the start of the battle.
 * Swipe at you with its sword. It's a close-range attack, so stay away.
 * It will implant its sword on the ground, and create huge beams of fire. Stay in the spot that doesn't have fire sparks beforehand, as that is where the beams won't hit.

EX Mode
The strategy stays the same, although its attacks have been altered, as well as Samuku itself being quicker. As well as that, once cleared, the fight with The Beast will begin.
 * The shockwaves from the jump attack are now larger.
 * The sword's range has been improved.
 * The beams of fire are now quicker. As well as that, it leaves fire pools on the left and right that damage you, also reducing the area the fight takes place in.

Hard Mode
There is only one real difference between the EX mode fight and the Hard mode fight, and that is that the beams of fire will shoot out twice. Aside from that, there's no real difference.

Trivia

 * Samuku is based on a samurai, signified by both its name and the fact that it wields a katana.
 * Samuku, when defeated, has a unique animation. It stabs itself on the head with its sword. This is a reference to seppuku, a suicide carried out by samurai. This is slightly changed in the Fark Story, as black smoke will emanate from its corpse, sending you to the fight with The Beast.
