It's also possible that William didn't want to "tip his hand" to his enemies while rescuing his son unnecessarily, so he was saving his stronger abilities as his "ace in the hole". Plus, in the latter case, he had Hide there to help him the entire time, and we all know just how powerful Hide really is by that point in the story, considering Hide is strong enough that they're pretty much ready for their final showdown with Otakemaru from the moment William frees them from being possessed. Plus, when William fought Hide, the fact that he'd clearly already met Mumyo meant that she had probably warned him ahead of time about how strong Hide was just in case something "went wrong". Plus, it's possible that he'd also heard about Hide's strength and prowess from his/her allies (like Hanzo), and just how much Hide could handle, as evidenced by how many "suicide missions" Hide took on and completed without losing his/her life.

For as flexible as William was during our time as him in Nioh 1, I actually really love how his canon equipment is a sword and spear, (specifically using Shima Sakon's spear that we can very likely assume was gifted to him during their last encounter or at some point after), as it suggests a foreigner such as him would gravitate towards the weapons he felt most familiar with back home. Esoteric weapons such as tonfa or the kusarigama he probably at least tried to grasp before dropping them, and he probably took one look at the switchglaive or splitstaff and wrote them off immediately.

This fight is a straight up feat for William because not only did he re-kill yamata no orochi after Kelly brought it back with the amrita which was something only the smarts of the god susano was able to pull off, but he also knocked otakemaru (one of the three legendary yokai) out of hide while he was being controlled by him. He killed He also killed Tamamo-no-mae (nine tailed fox) which is another one of the three legendary yokai. He also encounterd all three great unifiers, fighting and surviving an encounter with Oda Nobunaga, helping Tokugawa ieyasu bring an end to the warring states period and he was by hideyoshi's side while hide was battling otakemaru from within. This man has been through the most brutal things feudal Japan could throw at him and he conquered it.
@danilp95222 жыл бұрын
I find it a really nice touch, that Hide/Otakemaru seems completely oblivious to Williams Living Weapon. Because, when you think about it, they‘ve never actually seen it before. Everyone else in Nioh 2 uses Yokai-Shift and/or the Dark Realm instead. Yes it’s a small difference, but it’s a difference nonetheless. So I like to think of that cutscene as Hide/Otakemaru thinking William just put on a Water-Talisman, and getting unexpectedly overwhelmed by this being so much more than just an Elemental buff.

Yeah, but the idea is that he not your William anymore, as you can see, he now has a son, and other priorities. Hide is your character now, and always was, he/she is the one who brought peace in the end, and it was him/her who layered the foundations for Williams story, but his story is finished, you finished it along with Tokichiro’s and Maria’s, the focus is now on Hide and maybe Mumyo.

like with xenoverse 2. you can pick your character from the 1st game to be the hero in the 2nd game and you get to fight your 1st game character later on in the game. sounds like it would've been a cool idea. but it would've be an optional thing to have him normal or the gear and level you had from the previous game to shot up the difficulty of the fight. and is so they should give a mission reward bonus if that william is higher. if the other williem happened to be close to the level in the mission. the reward well stay the same. but here's the catch. you have to beat the game to unlock the option.
