* [[spoiler: OutGambitted]]: By [[spoiler: Queen Himiko]].




to:

The queen and ruler of Sei'an and all of Nippon. When Issun and Ammy arrive in Sei'an in its cursed state, they found out that the queen was holed up in her palace and not doing a thing to help. Issun, having one of his GenreSavvy moments, guesses that [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the queen is secretly responsible for this mess]]. However, this is not true as the queen was in fact praying the whole time for a solution for these problems. Amaterasu was what she had been waiting for, and she requests the duo to seek out and destroy Oni Island. [[spoiler: Her plans apparently fails when Amaterasu fails to save the water dragon and she is murdered by the evil Rao. However, it is later revealed that this was what she planned all along and both her and Amaterasu knew that she had to die from the beginning.]]

* CoolHat: Its ''on fire''.
* [[spoiler: ForgottenFallenFriend]]: The number of people that mention her at all [[spoiler: after her death]] can be counted with one hand.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Subverted, that's what Issun thinks anyway.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]: [[spoiler: Her ThanatosGambit obviously involved her death, and in her last moment in this world, she managed to determine Oni Island's location for this one sunset.]]
* [[spoiler: JustAsPlanned]]: [[spoiler: As you can probably see from all these spoiler markers, her story arc is a very strong plot point and involves lots of plans and out-gambitting, she succeeds.]]
* [[spoiler: ThanatosGambit]]: [[spoiler: Amaterasu gave Rao the fox rods so that Rao would kill Himiko and attempt to steal her crystal ball, and by doing so, the crystal ball gains her dark powers and becomes able to determine the location of the Oni Island. It seems that Amaterasu and Himiko knew of this from the beginning, judging by the conversation with Waka, but Issun did not.]]

A piece of floating, talking paper found on Oni Island, he acts as the guard for the racing trials inside the fortress. When you meet him, he acts both as your guide and competitor through the trials, but becomes more and more friendly as you continue to beat him.
