A large-type Oni, characterized by its huge body covered in red scales, and its large wings. Its breath and claws are said to have a fearsome poison that can turn humans into “Oni.”

 

Demon Hand:

A device created by The Professor, which serves the purpose of “materialization of thought.” That said, it’s able to create a giant hand, used to attack demons or interact with objects and spirits.

Demon Smash lets you put in the power of the Demon Hand into various material and completely obliterate them without trace.

 

Whip Sword:

The Whip Sword is a weapon crammed with different setups, making it a weapon that specializes in phantasmagoric fights. Since each part of the whip has a blade on it, you can pull off multistage attacks to chip away at the Oni. Again, the tip has a built-in kunai, and you can launch and pierce targets with it.

 

There are different uses with the kunai. For example, by attacking a part that has been stabbed,  you can do more damage depending on how many times it’s been stabbed, you can stab the kunai use it to launch yourself up, or even explode it.

 

Special Attack: Kagura

Kagura is the name of the Whip Sword’s special attack that lets you whip the weapon at full speed towards the front. While it does have a bit of a delay, it has enough attack range to hit all of a large-type Oni’s parts.

 

Mitama:

Similar to the previous Toukiden, you can use Mitama, the spirit of past heroes that were trapped by Oni. After freeing them from an Oni, you can use them as the Slayer’s power.

 

There are different styles to them. For example, “Attack” is a power-focused style, while “Defense” is a guardian-style. There are many different Mitama and their styles that as we’ve seen in Toukiden that will allow you to change up way you play.

 

Tamafuri:

This is a special power that lets Slayers borrow power from Mitama. These can be used to strengthen bows, restrict Oni, and more.

 

Here are some examples:
