Headscratchers / Pokémon Conquest

• I have bad memory of beating the game, but what exactly is the relationship between Ujiyasu and Kai? I was certain that when you beat the nation in the main story, Kai calls Ujiyasu "dad", but when I look at the info in Samurai Warriors, she's simply the retainer. Maybe I got it mixed up and assumed Kai meant dad if she called Ujiyasu "old man" (because she does do that in Samurai Warriors with a slip of the tongue.
  • From what I understand, they were changed to being parent and child in this game because, in the original franchise, Kai simply has a crush on Ujiyasu, and they didn't want to freak people out with that big of an age difference so they made it more family-friendly for this game.
    • I thought they were Uncle and Niece?
    • When you evolve Ujiyasu, his warrior skill becomes "Father-Figure". That could contribute to some confusion as well.
• Why aren't Kyogre and Kyurem in the game? It'd be one thing if only one member of the trios they belonged to was in the game^note The Weather Trio and The Tao Trio, respectively, but it seems odd to have 2/3rds of each of their respective trios in the game^note Groudon and Rayquaza/Reshiram and Zekrom, respectively. While it's true that it would be impossible to give a legendary Pokemon to every Warlord^note both at the time the game came out and as of Gen VI, there are no poison type legendary Pokemon, excluding Arceus holding a Toxic Plate, meaning that even if every other Warlord received one, Nene would be left out, it seems like it wouldn't have been THAT hard to include 1-2 more legendary Pokemon in the game. Also, as noted in the YMMV section, it would've been a better fit thematically for Mitsuhide's legendary to be Kyurem instead of Arcticuno. And while it's true that Rayquaza could stop Groudon if it went on a rampage, Rayquaza only appears in cases where BOTH Groudon and Kyogre's abilities are out of control - no Kyogre, no Rayquaza!
  • I don't have an answer for Kyogre, but Kyurem was merely an Optional Boss in Pokémon Black & White. While he gained significance in the sequels, there's precedent in lore for Reshiram and Zekrom to have the spotlight without him.
