Who is Rasho-gun and how does he fight?
Japanese creators have released a video from a series about heroes and bosses, where voice actress Yuri Naka (the voice of the Oni Overlord) explores the characters’ motivations. Rasho-gun belongs to the Genmu race and is arguably one of the most sophisticated opponents.
The monster’s arsenal and combat behavior:
-
Stealth and mimicry: The demon hides as a monk near the Yasui Konpiragu temple and curses gullible worshipers.
-
Unusual anatomy: In combat, the creature uses long threads and extra arms that grow directly from its body.
-
The element of surprise: The enemy uses an unusual attack trajectory, requiring players to re-engineer their timing.
