Phantasmagoria SoulCalibur IV series#

Because of his unusual appearance, some newcomers to the Soul Series (as well as regulars who don't pay attention to the storyline) don't realize Voldo is human.

In Soulcalibur IV and Soulcalibur V, when performing his 'Jack in the cage' move on female characters, it will change to 'Bloody drill'.

Voldo's throw move 'Jack in the cage' (only versus male characters) was copied from Sophitia's throw 'Heaven's Arch'.

However, Voldo's ending in Soul Calibur III seems to imply that hearing Vercci's voice was part of his madness, and Soul Edge simply took advantage of that. It can be assumed from this that Vercci really did return as a ghost, and Voldo simply heard his voice. Some believe that Voldo hallucinates Vercci and therefore 'dooms himself' into remaining in the Vault for the rest of his life (hence why they consider this the 'Bad' Ending) furthering the proof by stating that the player will only see the ghost if the ending is viewed from Voldo's perspective - however it is important to note that Voldo is blind, and therefore it would make no difference to him whether the ghost appeared or not, as he wouldn't see it. However, in Voldo's Bad Ending (although some argue that it's actually his Good Ending) Vercci's Ghost seemingly appears in front of Voldo to thank him for returning Soul Edge, and to give him his next task of guarding it for life. It is possible that Voldo only believes he can hear his master's orders, and is really guarding the vault and seeking Soul Edge due to his own insanity. It isn't really made fully clear on whether Vercci really haunts the vault, or whether it is another sign of Voldo going insane.The triple-lensed goggles Voldo wears in Soulcalibur IV look similar to the goggles worn by Splinter Cell series protagonist Sam Fisher.In Soulcalibur II: Reloaded, Voldo has a costume that looks like Tira.Voldo's fighting style is similar to Sunny the Scorpion, the main villain in the 1991 kung-fu film ''Operation Scorpio''.Voldo bears similarities to Hellboy villain Karl Kroenen.However, the codpiece is present in the European and Japanese versions. The North American Dreamcast Version of Soulcalibur removes one of Voldo's suggestive codpieces featuring a bull.

His Destined Battle in both Soulcalibur II and Soulcalibur III is Yoshimitsu. Voldo's Destined Battle in Soulcalibur is Ivy.Voldo's third costume in Soulcalibur II is reminiscent of the aliens from the Alien movies.Voldo's nickname in both Soul Edge and Soulcalibur is 'Hell Guardian'.A select few attacks are still accompanied by a spoken phrase, though. In Soulcalibur III, characters created with the Dancer class can use a discipline called 'Soul of Voldo.' Using this discipline removes nearly all spoken words from their dialogue.Voldo was cured of his malfestation by Kilik (during the events of Soulcalibur IV or after).In Soulcalibur IV's Chain of Souls, Voldo is shown to be the only character to be exploited by two characters at the same time, the first being obviously Nightmare and the second being Tira.Soulcalibur V, 'Amid the Pure Insanity' Trivia Ostrheinsburg Castle Throne Room (SCBD).Money Pit - Top Tier (SC2) (Note: Voldo shares this stage with Yoshimitsu.).Manas & Ayus (Has both a 1P and a 2P variation).Shame & Blame (Has both a 1P and a 2P variation).
