Wind Blade would've worked as a ranged attack, or some other sort of strike that creates an air wave. Honestly I liked the concept of adding Exorcist because it was something different, and I'd think that more from that could be added into the Samurai design to prevent it from being just "another melee class", which I think that overplayed armored shogun stereotype would do.

As for the anime, I think the only reason why the devs used the manga "Berserk" or whatever it was called was used as an inspiration for Dark Knight was because they ran out of ideas from European influences. Since there are more local influences on their end for Samurai, my guess is that using any animation source as an inspiration again would be less likely.
