Capcom Team Shares Their Favorite Ally Reactions in Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny

Hey, guess what? Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is making a comeback after like, twenty-ish years. Yeah, first dropped in 2002. I remember because, well, who doesn’t remember the first Onimusha, right? So, this sequel cranks up the action with a new story and we’re all about Jubei Yagyu—a samurai with vengeance on his mind.

Fast forward a decade after those initial demon-slaying escapades. Nobunaga Oda—a real piece of work this guy—is back, all fueled up and ready to take over Japan. And guess where he starts? Right in Jubei’s backyard—Yagyu Village. Spoiler: it’s in ruins. So naturally, Jubei sets off to, you know, sort things out. On his wild journey, he crosses paths with four—let’s call them potential BFFs. You give them cool stuff and, voilà, they help you bash baddies and might just change how everything ends.

So, Jubei’s out there gift-hunting; shops, allies, random bits hidden around. Everyone’s got their quirks—some gifts win hearts, others maybe not so much. Plays or unlocks characters for a bit, if you’re lucky. Lessons in choosing wisely, I guess?

What did Capcom’s crew chime in with? Oh, something about their top gift moments. Gotta keep an eye out for those little wrinkles in the interactions, they said.

And then there’s this dude, Ekei Ankokuji—a monk who’s not really into the whole zen life. If you give him a fancy fan or some huqin, he might bust a move for you. A dancing monk. Life’s full of surprises.

Next, we have Magoichi Saiga, the brainy gun dude obsessed with books. He’s a book-snob—wants the entire set, not just one.

Then there’s Kotaro Fuma, the ninja kid. Gift him a Tengu mask, he blows it off like it’s some old man’s thing. Jubei just awkwardly retrieves it.

Oyu, she’s the mysterious warrior woman, hanging with Jubei—still shady though, especially when you gift her The Art of War. Raises eyebrows, that one.

Oh, and giving Magoichi raw fish and wasabi? Apparently, it’s producer Kosuke Tanaka’s jam.

Also, Ekei’s got a sore spot with anything hair-related. Try gifting him a comb; you’ll see sparks fly.

And there’s a whole world of gifts and reactions waiting—like a remastered treasure hunt. You know, the fine art of random gifting and destiny-claiming. Now for Xbox super fans, it’s all HD and slick controls. Like slicing through the Sengoku era all over again.

Oh, and costumes—you get a cool Jubei outfit if you’ve got Onimusha: Warlords save data. Nothing changes stat-wise, just a fancy look. Multitasking fashion, I guess.

So go on, give those gifts, reclaim that destiny, slash up some demons. And hey, don’t forget to share the saga with friends before, you know, 2025 rolls by, for some limited-time goodies. Anyway, enjoy the game—old-school style!
