The Captain Commando two-volume manga directly address Metro City as the setting of the story at several points. The progression map, however, has nothing to relate it to the original city and there's no in-game indication of this fact, save perhaps the existence of the Haggar bust item. Reportedly the game's setting is a futuristic version of Metro City in the game's stated year of 2026.

One of the many score-only items the player can come across in the game is a stone bust of Mike Haggar, main character of Final Fight and mayor of Metro City (presumably former by the time of Captain Commando). It is worth noting that Guy's fighting style in Street Fighter and Final Fight is listed as Bushinryu 'Ninjutsu' rather than Ninpo, although both terms are often used interchangeably. Acording to Akiman (Capcom artist who worked on both games), Ginzu is also a relative of Guy, establishing a direct connection between both characters.Įuropean flyer, identifying Ginzu as a successor to Bushinryu Ninpo The European flyer, on the other hand, properly translates the line claiming Ginzu to be a 'successor to Bushin-ryu Ninpo'. This specific line is rendered into the more generic 'A master of Ninjitsu' in the English version of the game, completely removing the reference. According to his in-game profile in Japanese, Sho is a 'successor of Bushinryu Ninpo', the fictional fighting style employed by Guy in the Final Fight and Street Fighter series. The most famous connection between both games is through the playable character known as Ninja Commando, Ginzu the Ninja (Sho in Japan).
