Koei Tecmo Games continues its unique interpretation of the time of the warring countries (also known as the Sengoku period) in Japan with the release of Nioh 2 last week.
In this article, we will shed some light on the realm of statistics, battles, and more in full in this turbulent period. From 1467 to 1568 CE, rival kings or “Daimyo” fought for control of Japan. Finally, one of the Daimyos named Nobunaga Oda would rise above the break and put the country in the process of unity. Nobunaga Oda, along with two of his closest followers, Hideyoshi Toyotomi (also one of his samurai) and Ieyasu Tokugawa are said to have united Japan in the last 16th century CE. It's the backdrop of history that Nioh 2 takes center stage – with many historical figures of the time playing a role in the game.
Story Until Now
The story of Nioh 2 begins in the province of Mino, where our escort (that's you!) Is hired as a courtesy of the Yokai hunt. In the battle against the mighty Yokai, they lose control of their Yokai powers. The crisis is remedied, however, by a wandering merchant named Tokichiro who sells anonymous & # 39; Strons Stones & # 39; Thanks to the Spirit of Tokichiro stones, the protagonist regains control.
Tokichiro hires our protagonist to protect him as he seeks out his next Ghost Stones buyer – Dosan Saito, Daimyo of Mino province. Before Tokichiro does this, Dosan loses his attack on his son, Yoshitatsu. The couple is forced to flee Mino province for safety.
After Dosan's final advice, the l atter fled to Owari province. There, they ran into the “Owari Fungus,” none other than Owari Daimyo, Oda Nobunaga. They entered his service and began to benefit from the success of their military actions. Eventually, the couple will call themselves by the same name, “Hide” – which the follower in the Order mentioned above!
The Protagonist
Our protagonist is a self-employed hunter and Yokai hunter who works in Mino province, lives in a collapsed house. Partly human, part Yokai, our protagonist has the unique ability to invoke the forces of guard forces to assist them in battle. Our kind and powerful Yokai hero they use to summon superhuman powers. At times, it is precisely because of this immense power that it fails to control.
Our protagonist doesn't know their real name – they call the word "Hide" a homage to their mother.
Prices: A look at the Nioh 2 characters inspired by history
Tokichiro is a retailer of air conditioning equipment installed by Amrita. In collaboration with the protagonist, he later became known as Hideyoshi Toyotomi. A humorous character with a deep knowledge of various fields, Tokichiro retains a wealth of friendly relationships, even with some of Daimyo's most influential in this area. He was able to get out of some difficult times in the past with his natural intelligence and his soft sales skills.
A determined and ambitious man, Tokichiro perfects Hide's talent on the battlefield with his military strategy and planning skills.
Guardian Spirit: Masaru
Masaru is the sacred monkey of the Hiyoshi Shrine, which is found in the beautiful parts of Mount Hiei.
Nobunaga Oda is a minor Daimyo of Owari province. He was known for his unusual behavior that earned him the nickname, "The Fool of Owari." Moniker aside, he would be remembered as a brilliant king and a strategic strategist.
Historically, Nobunaga paid no attention to royalty or class and paid attention only to the skills that the people brought to the table. In the game, even though the other Hideyoshis hideouts are newcomers, Nobunaga observes them for their brutality on the battlefield.
Nobunaga had a great side to him, which made him a great enemy over the course of his life. Historically, this includes his subordinate, Akechi Mitsuhide who rebelled and accused him at the Hanno-ji Temple.
Guardian Spirit: Hyobishin
Known as the angry god who does not tolerate pollution, Hyobishin is also seen by Ketu, who controls the sunset. He is not deceived by first impressions and can pierce the soul to come to the truth.

Katsuie Shibata
One of Nobunaga's most honest generals. He was known by several names such as “Demon Shibata” and “Attacking Shibata” for his many military accomplishments. Perhaps because of his overwhelming dedication to fighting the body, he has little thought of the formal and formal Tokichiro.
Guardian Wind: Future
Inosasao becomes in the form of a multi-year, supernatural wild pig.
Toshiie Maeda
Starting as a page in his childhood days, Toshiie Maeda is a long-time warrior on the shores of Nobunaga. The "Mataza of the Spear" gets its nickname. He has worked under Katsuie Shibata for a very long time.

For a dog like Guardian Ghost, Okuri-inu builds a following among regions as a protector of sorts, warning travelers of the dangers to come.
Koroku Doesn't Clean
Koroku Hachisuka is the head of Kawanami, a coalition aid group that has strong ties to the peaceful Yokai settlement in Sunomata. Koroku himself also inherits the Yokai blood, which is why parts of his body look like a kappa. He finds the two Hideyoshis when Tokichiro begins planning to build a palace in Sunomata.
Hanbe Takenaka
An intelligence officer in the Saito family, allegedly took the Saito party's headquarters in Mount Inaba with just a few men, to show the kings of the danger. He later stopped living a quiet, solitary life, but was summoned by Tokichiro and quickly returned to action.

An intelligent and holy beast, the Hakuaku can interact with humans and brag a lot about Yokai and other demons.

Guardian Spirit: Rationale
Elegant, majestic elephant, Imagawa & # 39; s Guardian Ghost combines its military might.
Nagamasa Egg
Daimyo of Omi province, Azai marries Nobunaga's daughter, Oichi forming a strong ally with Oda's family. Like his father-in-law, he was very much trusted by Nobunaga. However, that credibility would not be paid back – Nobunaga would be betrayed as he began his attack on the Asakura family.
He was to spend his days with his beloved wife, Oichi. But it does not seem to end there, he makes a complete change and resists Oda's family. Maybe the pebbles of the Spirit coming into his hands had something to do with…

For someone who was considered one of the smartest in the Oda family, many mysteries revolve around his background.

A man who put a high value on unity in harmony, Akechi saw an accident at the Air Force Attack, Tokichiro. In the Siege of Kanegasaki he sought an opportunity to kill him. Before long, his fear of being defeated by Ghost Stone would lead him to beat Nobunaga at the Monno-ji temple.

Toshimitsu Saito
As the guardian of the Akechi clans, Saito is a master at both Onmyo magic and sword. He uses these skills to work well to produce amazing shows on the battlefield.

Hisahide Matsunaga
Daimyo of the Mamato province, Matsunaga is known for his brutality, killing his former secretary, Miyoshi, and cleaning up Ashikaga's family.
Although often known for his brutality, Matsunaga has a wonderful appreciation for the finer things in life, especially the art of tea ceremony.
