No hot babes like Rachael & just worms , come on! Remember the plane stage in NG2, the goons were looking for Rachel, and they were like "What does the intruder look like?" "She's hot!"<br><br>Oh, another I find odd about Ninja Blade is they actually spell out Todome in English for the finishing move, just a little strange, it would probably have a different name in the US version.. <br><br>I guess I was expecting too much out of this game.

Given the nature of the story if From Software had one she would have to be a mutant or something. Nah Ken's too busy killing worms and the game is too short for a love interest.
