"The history between the Fu-Ma clan and demons adorns the walls."

— Announcer

Fu-Ma No Sato: Mechanical Spider (封魔の里・唐蜘蛛の間, Fu-Ma No Sato: Mechanical Spider^?) is Natsu's stage in Soulcalibur V. It is set in an exquisitely decorated Japanese temple, belonging to the Fu-Ma clan, which leaves a single ring-out opportunity at one side of the room. Also, there is a gigantic mechanical spider in the background. As the battle progresses, the floor slowly slides towards the golden statue and gradually reduces the ring's size.

Profile

This stage is the clockwork mansion of the Fu-Ma ninja clan, who have devoted their lives to fighting demons. There are numerous pieces of art on the wall depicting demons, tracing the history of their constant war with humans. At the center of this large hall sits a statue of Toki in his demon form. Seventeen years ago, the then-leader of the Fu-Ma clan had given in to the temptations offered by demonic power and become a demon himself, bringing much strife to the Fu-Ma settlement.

Designer's Comment

"The mechanical spider is the man (spider!) behind the curtain, pulling all the strings for the different mechanisms in this room. It has a very eccentric design, being constructed almost entirely out of wood yet powered by a fire-based system. The sound engineer put a lot of work into the special sound effects for the movement of the spider's legs, so I hope you'll take a moment to listen and appreciate his hard work."
