History Characters / Onimusha

%%* DistressedDamsel

* DistressedDamsel: She's the pivot of the first game's plot.

* DistressedDamsel: You'll have to rescue him twice.

[[folder:Tokochiro Kinkshita / Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]

* DropTheHammer: The Dokotsui, a long-handled sledgehammer. It is his hardest-hitting weapon, but is also so heavy he has the least number of comboes, his special attack being simply [[SpinAttack spinning with the hammer outstretched]].

* AxCrazy
* TheBattleDidntCount
* BullfightBoss: The second battle with him in the forest has traits of this.
* DetachableLowerHalf
* DisneyVillainDeath: Into a pit of fire, no less.
* TheDragon: To Nobunaga.
* DropTheHammer: His final weapon is a ludicrously humongous sledgehammer with the Strength Orb encased in it.

* {{Jerkass}}

* LargeAndInCharge
* LargeHam
* NoIndoorVoice

* RecurringBoss
* SkippableBoss: If your RelationshipValues with Magoichi are the highest at the end of the game, he'll [[spoiler: test his new BambooTechnology bazooka on him, killing him with one shot.]]

* GutturalGrowler: Rare female example, her voice is distorted by a bug-like buzz, appropriately enough. Averted in ''Dawn of Dreams'', where she doesn't speak, save for the occasional screech.

* DumbMuscle
* EvilSoundsDeep / GutturalGrowler

[[folder:The God of Light (''UNMARKED SPOILERS'')]]

!!The God Of Light [[spoiler: Fortinbras/The Man in White]]

[[folder:The God of Light]]

The most powerful Genma, he's the one who created their race, and claimed to have created mankind to serve as food for his children. He was killed during the war against the Oni clan and sealed inside the Omen Star. [[spoiler: He's revealed as Fortinbras, the White Serpent and the man in white who appeared to Soki many times ingame. After the arrival of the star his embryo hatches and resurrect the God as the allmighty giant White Serpent, and he later battles Soki in his human form, but he's killed once and for all. It's unknown whether this Fortinbras and the one from ''Warlords'' are actually the same demon god, [[WildMassGuessing or if the 1 Fortinbras was merely a high class Genma who took his name and appearance]].]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:Is he Fortinbras from ''Warlords'' at his full strength, or was the Fortinbras in that game merely a particularly strong Genma who took his appearance and name? No clear answer is ever given.]]
* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler: As the Man in White.]]
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: He's probably the biggest boss ever faced.
* BeamSpam: [[spoiler: His Man in White form has such an attack.]]
* TheChessMaster: [[spoiler: The entire game has Fortinbras' plan unfolding to the very end, being stopped only by Soki's sacrifice.]]
* ElementalPowers: The good old trio [[MythologyGag Fire, Lightning and Wind.]] [[spoiler: The Man in White has even more.]]
* EldritchAbomination: His true form is surely this, though [[spoiler: he usually appears as a HumanoidAbomination, while the White Serpent is merely his "business form" he takes in dark ceremonies.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: During the dialogue before the final battle against Soki, as well as how it's in his nature, he created the Genma in his image after all, and they ''all'' cannot comprehend good.]]

* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:If you believe that he's the same Fortinbras from the first game, then yes.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Lore-wise, the humans he used as food for the Genma ultimately turned against his breed, [[spoiler: and he can be defeated by sending his giant light sphere back at him.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: When he zaps Munenori's crow after he tried to save his master.]]

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Inverted, the White Serpent is a form he takes in order to bless his minions during the dark ceremonies, while the Man in White is his real form, and no less powerful.]]

* UnholyNuke: His strongest attack is a colossal sphere of light shrouded in miasma. [[spoiler: In order to make him vulnerable you have to dispel the miasma and chuck the ball back to him.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After Soki stabs his guts with Requiem, he blabbers on [[ThisCannotBe how it should be impossible to defeat him]], and [[DefiantToTheEnd spits on the human race, referring them as 'fools to the end']], [[EvilCannotComprehendGood not being able to comprehend that humanity's goodness and faith are what enabled them to defeat him as Soki coined.]]]]

%% * NobleDemon: A literal example, at that.

* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Hidemitsu, aside of his loyalty to Mitsuhide, was particularly 'nothing special' in terms of fame in the Sengoku Period, there are more famous generals such as Sanada Yukimura. Samanosuke, on the other hand, is a badass [[TheParagon paragon]] of righteousness whose combat prowess could probably give Yukimura a run for his money.

* ImportantHaircut: Subverted, as it's not so much a new haircut as it is a different hairstyle. The Samanosuke of the past wears his hair in a ponytail, while his future self wears his hair loose and down. (''Demon Siege'')
* InkSuitActor: He's based on his voice actor Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Kaede is a young kunoichi from the Iga Clan. She was sent to kill Samanosuke for an unknown reason, but ends up joining him as a faithful companion and possible love interest. [[spoiler:[[AllThereInTheManual It is later revealed that she was killed by the Genma General Gargant and avenged by Samanosuke]].]]

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:She's killed offscreen by Gargant sometime between ''Warlords'' and ''Demon Siege''.]]

[[folder:Yumemaru / Keijiro Maeda]]
!!Yumemaru /Keijiro Maeda

* BrattyHalfPint: He outgrows it.
* CaptainErsatz: He looks very similar to ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'''s Keiji. Considering that both titles are from Capcom…
* GentleGiant: Despite looking large and powerful, he's very kind.
* InkSuitActor: He too.

* TookALevelInBadass: Compare his younger self in ''Warlords'' with Keiji.

* LightningBruiser: Swift as a dancer, strong as a hurricane.
* MonsterKnight: While most Genma are nothing more than barely-sentient monsters, Gogandantess behaves like a NobleDemon and master swordsman bound by a code of honor, and is actually much more humanoid than his colleagues.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's the strongest warrior woman in the game and has some nice breasts.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Being a demon, he has no need for shoes.

* BladeOnAStick: His Shippuu naginata, which is also a DoubleWeapon.

* BladeOnAStick: As Keiji, he wields a Nagamaki (a pole weapon with short handle and long blade) with a humongous curved blade.

* BladeOnAStick: When using the Hyoujin Yari lance and the Senpuumaru [[DoubleWeapon dual-sword]].

* BladeOnAStick: A Hozoin Spear (which is a spear with a cutting edge). Later upgradable to a chinese pike and then to a halberd.

* BladeOnAStick: His Genma Tonbo spear.

* BladeOnAStick: Can use spears and halberds.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a huge, spiked Juumonji Yari (Cross-shaped Spear)

* TheDarkChick: She's this in Nobunaga's army, being the most memorable one.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:The Onimusha Sword and the Genma Samonji in ''3''.]]
