Zankuro Minazuki - samurai shodown
Zankuro is a huge warrior who traveled Japan relentlessly killing anyone. During a time, he traveled from village to village slaughtering people with no regard or disambiguation. Because of this, people started calling him a demon. One night, while he was slaughtering an entire village, he is unable to kill one child. Upon setting his eyes on the young girl, he can't bring himself to kill her, and realizes the error of his ways. From this night on, he retires his massacring and becomes a hermit, only drawing his blade to kill worthy opponents in duels.
It is revealed that the child was Zankuro's daughter, Shiori. Zankuro had forgotten about her due to his killing intent. Shiori eventually runs into Haohmaru and asks him to kill the "demon". Eventually, Zankuro was challenged by Shizumaru, a boy who also had a demon inside of him. Zankuro was killed by Shizumaru and Haohmaru, and his body was buried and sealed by Gaira. However, he was quickly revived by Amakusa who wanted to use his powers. He was eventually killed again by Sogetsu. It seems he somehow came back to life again since he appears in Genjuro's ending in SS64.
In Samurai Shodown VI, his ending has Shizumaru bring Shiori to him with Haohmaru encouraging the estranged family to reconcile. Feeling himself beyond redemption, he refuses until Shizumaru convinces him not to submit to his inner demon. Realizing the value of life, Zankuro decides to live on for his daughter. He abandons the way of the sword and the two embark on a journey where he hopes to repent for his sins.

hello! first of all, i'm so thankful to this blog! it really helped me a lot finding good fics to read! kudos to everyone!
and i was wondering if you have recommendations for any fics with eren coming from outside the walls either as a titan or something else. preferably long chaptered fics.
thank you and have a great day!
Try these~
Breaking the Walls by Asnakecalledsocks
(Rated E, 5,818 words, multichapter, ongoing)
The boy woke with a start, throwing his body upwards into a sitting position as the final throws of sleep evaded him. His dreams were always the same, chopped up bits and pieces that seemed familiar, however he knew within a few minutes he would no longer remember the contents of the dream.
They were always the same.
Eren is a titan shifter living outside the walls, until one day the survey corps takes an interest in him.
(This is my first time writing so any and all constructive criticism is highly appreciated!)

I, Titan by Marie_Phantom
(Rated E, 23,349 words, multichapter, ongoing)
One single mistake, and the world changes on it’s axis.
Levi is left stranded outside the Walls when he is injured, and is rescued by an unusual Titan. This meeting changes not just their lives, but the entire fate of the Walls.
Part 1 of The Scent of Blood and Pine

A Titan's Poisoned Chalice by The_duke_is_back
(Rated M, 133,423 words, multichapter, complete, TW read tags on fic)
A Poisoned Chalice: noun, an assignment, award, or honour which is likely to prove a disadvantage or source of problems to the recipient.
Eren is a titan living outside the walls, living in complete isolation by avoiding other titans. When the Survey Corps comes and Levi is attacked by titans from left and right, he is saved by an aberrant titan. Eren’s curiosity has lead him down a path where he far out of his depth.
A story where Eren has only known his life as a titan and saves is taken into the walls and is expected to live as a human. How does a titan who knows next to nothing adjust to living a life behind the walls?
Written by CursedObjects, adopted by The_Duke_Is_Back.
Part 1 of Big Friendly Titan
