Onimusha: Way of the Sword New Characters

Formidable Foe: Sasaki Ganryu

A swordsman, also known by the name Sasaki Kojiro. His fate seems inescapably intertwined with Musashi’s. It would appear he also wields an Oni Gauntlet…

Sasaki Ganryu engages in fierce sword combat with the protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi. Anticipation builds for the unfolding story of these two warriors, both wielders of the Oni Gauntlet.

Formidable Foe: Daidara

A towering Genma that revels in wreaking havoc with mighty wings of its intimidating club.

Constantly in a state of hunger, he seeks out sustenance with an obsessive fervor.

Kubi Akari

A strange, floating Genma variant, whose skin has a pale-bluish hue. They consume the floating souls that Musashi needs for his gauntlet, and puff up before firing blast of energy at their prey. Despite their diminutive
size, they should not be underestimated.

A Glimpse Into the Ultimate Sword-fighting Action

You get a glimpse of the ultimate sword-fighting action that pursues exhilarating gameplay, featuring powerful moves like the “Issen”, a swift, decisive strike executed just before an opponent’s attack lands.

A devastating finishing blow delivered with a pair of hammer-like dual weapons. A powerful strike that even shatters the very air itself.
