Ushiwaka

Character artwork by Shirou Ohno.

Ushiwakahime (牛若姫) is a character introduced in Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushidou Retsuden. She is a major villain in the first chapter of the game. Earlier sketches of her character depict her being more wild and demonic. Her final design was inspired by a fox and the impression of an elegant dancer. Her name and tengu attributes are based on the famous late Heian samurai Minamoto no Yoshitsune, whom she shares a soul with in the story. 

She is voiced by Naoko Ishii.

Story[]

She is a demonic servant of Ambrosia who was revived from her slumber by Amakusa. Thankful for his services, she inhibits a body in the human world and wrecks havoc in their names. Although she usually works alone, she will call upon Tokihime for back-up. She continues to disrupt the hero's party until she is defeated while standing guard over Ambrosia's seal.

Personality[]

Sadistic, persistent and cruel, Ushiwakahime revels destruction and misery. She is faithful to her lords' cause and never questions their orders.

Powers[]

  • Doppelganger - Ushiwakahime has the power to create a fully capable double of herself.
  • Energy Projectile - Ushiwakahime can hurl a shockwave from her bladed geta.
  • Fiery Pillars - Ushiwakahime can send a rippling wave of energy to her foes.
  • Multiple Attacks - Ushiwakahime can deliver several hits at once after she covers her opponent with her hat.

Fighting Style[]

Ushiwakahime fights by relying on her demon powers. She uses her pointed hat as her basic weapon, often hurling the top to block or stun her opponents.

Music[]

  • Madwoman - Shinsetsu Samurai Spirits: Bushidou Retsuden
