[@DanishThePenguin]

Many thanks! I'm just surprised that I haven't been able to find any real concise timeline of events before making this. You can imagine I was a bit frustrated seeing different claims as to when different events occurred. The amount of times I've seen people claim that Samurai's Destiny took place in 1570 is baffling. Hopefully, I haven't missed anything

The first two games were my absolute favorite as a kid! I loved how creepy everything was, and the story and cut scenes were next level. It was one of those games back in the day that you definitely saw posters for inside game and hobby shops. But not a lot of people would talk about it. Definitely underrated; if you knew you knew.

[@jcly96]

Also would like to add that they did Tadakatsu Honda dirty in this series by killing him off. Historically the real life Tadakatsu Honda's cause of death is unknown but it was very likely old age or sickness as Honda lived to be an old man. During his time as a samurai it was said he never sustained a single injury or even received any damage to his armor. Honda was both a powerful warrior and excellent strategist. When he went into battle he went in wearing a helmet that was adorned with giant antlers which served 2 purposes. First was for intimidation and second was to draw attention to himself. You might wonder why he'd wanna do this. Legend says that Honda regretted that he didn't have any scars or worn equipment to show off his battle history so he could show off the glory he brought to his army. In his old age he took up wood carving as Japan had settled down and there really wasn't need of warriors anymore. One day while he was carving wood he ended up cutting himself and started to bleed profusely. Its said he felt shame and frustration that this was the first injury he'd ever receive as it was dramatic irony that instead of getting hurt in the glory of battle he instead got it during peace doing something he did all the time.

[@anmanarrative]

This is an incredible juggernaut of a video, and you went into so much detail; even mentioning puzzles! I've said it before but I am so happy I found your channel, this is the kind of content I love. And you tell the story so well, I loved listening to you from beginning to end. You are officially one of my favourite KZbinrs now, cannot get enough of this. One thing that occurred to me after going through the whole timeline is how Princess Yuki just disappeared after the first game. If Yumemaru hadn't come back in Blade Warriors I might not have given it another thought, but he did and to my recollection he never actually said anything about her in that game. In a series that's so good at bringing characters back or referencing them in later installments, it feels odd that such a central figure in the first game never gets brought up again, especially with how close she was with Samanosuke. It would also be interesting to see how she grew and developed from that ordeal, what she did with her life afterwards. Probably not got enough information to do it but that is a what if scenario I'd love to see: what if Yuki came back. Maybe she returns with Yumemaru during Blade Warriors, can't see her being a fighter but I could imagine her becoming something like a priestess, learning to heal or cast magic or create anti-genma barriers. Or to stick with the world travelling, maybe she meets Luis? I think they've got very similar caring personalities so I could see them getting along, and then when he's asked to research genma she could warn him against it. Sorry about the ramble, just got stuck on a thought. Point is this video and your channel is awesome 😁

[@DanishThePenguin]

Thank you so much! I can't express how encouraging it is to see comments like this. You're right about Yuki. Her just up and vanishing never to be seen or even mentioned again is very odd, though I do have one or two things in mind concerning Yumemaru. I really like your idea, though! The idea of Yuki coming back alongside Yumemaru/Keijiro in order to join the fight against the Genma, perhaps fueled by the horrors of what the two experienced during Warlords is a really cool concept! Thanks for the suggestion, I'm definitely adding that to the list!

[@jrb5863]

I watched every second of this video and it's great. I wish there was more on Gargant. Somehow someway he's always been my favorite I still play all of these onimushas.

[@songoku9348]

1:37:06 technically it’s 422 years after the age of warring states. It was dead on exact 500 years, it would have been 2082. Anyway thanks for the massive video. Onimusha was one of the best early 2000’s era Capcom franchises, let’s hope for a revival some day.

[@DanishThePenguin]

It was more of a direct quote from Guildenstern than an accurate estimate, but you're right. It does seem weird that they said 500 years. Should have just said "over 400 years". Would have made more sense

[@albertgongora6944]

Just want to say danish the penguin thank you for making this video I'm a big fan of this franchise ever since I was a kid and it was one of the many first games I got to play after I got through my battle with cancer and such a young age and this is one of the many games that help me get through my chemo treatment because I still have to go through my spinal taps and always makes me happy to see people talk about this game and I also even more happy that both devil May cry and onimusha or getting their own animes on Netflix and I really do hope and pray that they do great with the series because I already kind of freaked out that Castlevania nocturne already had its downfall so hopefully both of the anime adaptations for this series and devil May cry do great because I want to see onimusha have its success and come back as a great video game or maybe we can get some remakes or finally the remastered collection of all the games and also will get to see more devil May cry down the timeline as well alongside onimusha

Tenkai being Samanosuke was such a damn good reveal

[@cameronfield7313]

It is rather interesting, because in actual history, people theorized that Tenkai Nankobo was actually Mitsuhide Akechi, but because Samanosuke was also an Akechi, it was interesting twist to make Samanosuke Tenkai instead.

[@williamkerr6469]

Respect. I remember playing Onimusha warlords for the first time, back in my younger years. I was an obsessive gamer, and when that generation of consoles were current I was lucky enough to have a PS2, original Xbox, and a Dreamcast. I actually got a Gamecube a year or two later, but largely ignored it. Point being, I have some very cool gaming memories from then, example, experiencing the last level of Halo for the first time on xbox, the original Soul Calibur on the dreamcast, playing gran turismo on ps2. I also loved the Onimusha series, though Genma Onimusha on xbox was just a rock hard version of warlords really. Still...

[@caioluizfernandes7832]

This video is simply wonderfull and I can't believe I took so much time to see it, the considerations and explanation about character I never even considered, even having played onimusha 2 at least 6 times is absurd, and honestly, I just feel this video is a work of art. I don't even know how to flatter it more besides thank you, for this video, for the explanations, for the interpretations, for everything. I really hope that someday we can still see a full remake of the series by Capcom, that would simply be the greatest thing ever, but as you said, the game is kinda cult and not so much looked for anymore, that's sad.

[@danielramsey6141]

More than likely it’s due to the Actual RL Actors that they used for the main characters! Not to mention it was more than likely Japan’s Idol/Actor/Actress Corporations that may have copyright slammed this series! Especially with Onimusha 2 and Blade Warriors using a Dead Actor’s likeness.

[@dmeep]

A great rundown of the story in the games even if you skipped over, the definitely canon part where, the protagonists messes up and have to reload the bossfight several times

[@CrustyMuffinsify]

Most of the information between blade warriors and oni 1 i didn't know about. It was all so convoluted and you filled me in after all these years! Thanks for this video it was much needed as a supporter of the oni franchise.

[@torbenfranke1859]

Seeing the almost complete time line wrapped up like this, you can see the effort and creativity that went into writing the Onimusha Story. It's astonishing really and deserves way more attention than it got the past couple years. I seriously hope to see another installation in the series... Maybe even a cheeky cameo from Asura's Wrath or Okami. It would be quite amusing.

[@BETMARKonTube]

I wish they chose another way to put an end to poor *Heihachi'* s life. Being killed by *Default Ranmaru,* out of camera and not even as some kind of "necessary sacrifice", is beyond lame.

[@DanishThePenguin]

He absolutely deserved a better end than to just be killed offscreen by a human Ranmaru who, let's be honest, literally accomplishes nothing else in the entire game. He either shows up to be evil and giving exposition, or gets his ass kicked whenever he tries to fight someone head on. Hell, his fight with Jacques isn't even a fight, just a cutscene! I'm at least glad that I was able to give him a more dignified end in one of my What If. He deserved that much

Thanks for the awesome informative video. I loved and owned all the games but was confused of the story. Especially with how large the cast of characters grew. Finally got to grasp the whole story with this vid. Kudos 🎉

[@InTheMindOfDavid]

I need to go back through Onimusha. It was one of my all time favorites as a kid. I was hoping that the Onimusha Remaster that came out a few years ago was a sign that Capcom were gonna bring it back or at least release the rest of the series on modern consoles but so far that’s not the case. Clearly They just made the remaster as a way to maintain the copyright even though they currently have no plans to do anything with IP. Maybe they’re waiting for the Director of Devil May Cry 3-5 and Dragon’s Dogma 1 & 2 to finish Dragon’s Dogma 2 before approaching him with the idea of an Onimusha game. I mean, if anyone can bring Onimusha back it’s gonna be the guy that made the best Devil May Cry games to-date.
