@@VGarcia1984 I'd love to learn more about Night of Genesis and Twilight of Desire, but I've still been unable to get my hands on them and couldn't even find a summary of their stories online, so I know next to nothing about them

@@VGarcia1984 I have! Interesting choice of protagonist since he did make a minor appearance in Blade Warriors. I imagine we'll see more detail about his rivalry with Kojira Sasaki too. Shame this was announced a few months after I cancel my Netflix XD
Oh wow it's great seeing you here!@@berati9988 🤠 I absolutely love the Onimusha games, I'm excited to see what Capcom has in store for the new anime! Which Onimusha game was your favorite? 🌟
Many thanks! I'm just surprised that I haven't been able to find any real concise timeline of events before making this. You can imagine I was a bit frustrated seeing different claims as to when different events occurred. The amount of times I've seen people claim that Samurai's Destiny took place in 1570 is baffling. Hopefully, I haven't missed anything
I genuinely appreciate this video, not many people covered this timeline or at all, and you went into depth more than anyone i have known who only covered the gameplay. Your research is impressive!
This video is a masterpiece that greatly details the events of the game while showing a perfectly synced sequence of in game videos that makes the video seem less like a chronology and more like a proper movie. Props to you, great work!!
it was so satisfying when you were playing Onimusha 3 and you hit that chain critical art, just one shotting bitches left n right. your timing on hitting that Square just before the enemy attack hits took real practise
Huge respect for you and your 3 hour long video of one my favorite but neglected series of all time. I hope you get the praise and recognition you deserve for all of your hard work!
I am a big fan of this underrated franchise and played all 4 main entries when i was a kid/teenager. Thank you for making a.3 hours video explaining everything. 👍👍👍
This mini documentary was so awesome mate. Glad to see by the comments that a lot of people still holds very dearly the onimusha games. Onimusha games may be lost in time but not forgotten.
What i can say bro just bravo you made an explanation for one of the best childhood games i have ever played i appreciate all of your hard work brother thank you so much ❤
I watched the whole thing and really appreciate your hardwork. I played the 4 PS2 games and didn't play Blade Warrios, a lot of details I didn't know for years are now completed by you. Thank you very much.
I can't thank you enough for all these onimusha videos. Please keep it up. There is so much more to explore in this franchise. You have earned yourself a new subscriber.
A great rundown of the story in the games even if you skipped over, the definitely canon part where, the protagonists messes up and have to reload the bossfight several times
a 1 year late. But still dude a Heap of Thank You for the effort and time spent making this 3 hrs Clip of onimusha Lore. Lotsa Respect dude. youre awesome
this was the best video game and still is to me to this day! fantastic gameplay and beautiful storytelling. i just finished reading the mangas that take place before Dawn of Dreams and it made me appreciate this entire franchise even MORE and i didn’t even know that was possible! i already love it so so much it’s absolutely insane!! it’s great to see someone having just as much passion as me about this beautiful storyline. much love man!
This game series the first one specifically holds a special place in my heart. My mom died of cancer a couple of months before it came out. And this game bought out of my sadness. And when the second one came out I called out of work for the first time just to play it all day. 🤣 Thank you for the video! You earned a subscription 10x over
It is rather interesting, because in actual history, people theorized that Tenkai Nankobo was actually Mitsuhide Akechi, but because Samanosuke was also an Akechi, it was interesting twist to make Samanosuke Tenkai instead.
I was literally recommended this video today right after watching the trailer for the upcoming Netflix Onimusha series coming this November. I really pray Capcom has plans to revive the series after the Netflix series. Onimusha has deserved a remake or remaster for years now. I'm super eager to see what comes next for Onimusha. 💯
You sir, are an Oni God yourself for putting this video together. Excellent work and it really makes me reminisce the playing days of this game. Thank you !😃
Thank you for taking the time to put this out. It reminded me how much I loved the series, especially 2. It's a shame about the remasters, but here's hoping it changes in the future; will replay warlords in the meantime
I watched every second of this video and it's great. I wish there was more on Gargant. Somehow someway he's always been my favorite I still play all of these onimushas.
Respect. I remember playing Onimusha warlords for the first time, back in my younger years. I was an obsessive gamer, and when that generation of consoles were current I was lucky enough to have a PS2, original Xbox, and a Dreamcast. I actually got a Gamecube a year or two later, but largely ignored it. Point being, I have some very cool gaming memories from then, example, experiencing the last level of Halo for the first time on xbox, the original Soul Calibur on the dreamcast, playing gran turismo on ps2. I also loved the Onimusha series, though Genma Onimusha on xbox was just a rock hard version of warlords really. Still...
This is an incredible juggernaut of a video, and you went into so much detail; even mentioning puzzles! I've said it before but I am so happy I found your channel, this is the kind of content I love. And you tell the story so well, I loved listening to you from beginning to end. You are officially one of my favourite RUclipsrs now, cannot get enough of this. One thing that occurred to me after going through the whole timeline is how Princess Yuki just disappeared after the first game. If Yumemaru hadn't come back in Blade Warriors I might not have given it another thought, but he did and to my recollection he never actually said anything about her in that game. In a series that's so good at bringing characters back or referencing them in later installments, it feels odd that such a central figure in the first game never gets brought up again, especially with how close she was with Samanosuke. It would also be interesting to see how she grew and developed from that ordeal, what she did with her life afterwards. Probably not got enough information to do it but that is a what if scenario I'd love to see: what if Yuki came back. Maybe she returns with Yumemaru during Blade Warriors, can't see her being a fighter but I could imagine her becoming something like a priestess, learning to heal or cast magic or create anti-genma barriers. Or to stick with the world travelling, maybe she meets Luis? I think they've got very similar caring personalities so I could see them getting along, and then when he's asked to research genma she could warn him against it. Sorry about the ramble, just got stuck on a thought. Point is this video and your channel is awesome 😁
Thank you so much! I can't express how encouraging it is to see comments like this. You're right about Yuki. Her just up and vanishing never to be seen or even mentioned again is very odd, though I do have one or two things in mind concerning Yumemaru. I really like your idea, though! The idea of Yuki coming back alongside Yumemaru/Keijiro in order to join the fight against the Genma, perhaps fueled by the horrors of what the two experienced during Warlords is a really cool concept! Thanks for the suggestion, I'm definitely adding that to the list!
1:37:06 technically it’s 422 years after the age of warring states. It was dead on exact 500 years, it would have been 2082. Anyway thanks for the massive video. Onimusha was one of the best early 2000’s era Capcom franchises, let’s hope for a revival some day.
It was more of a direct quote from Guildenstern than an accurate estimate, but you're right. It does seem weird that they said 500 years. Should have just said "over 400 years". Would have made more sense
Seeing the almost complete time line wrapped up like this, you can see the effort and creativity that went into writing the Onimusha Story. It's astonishing really and deserves way more attention than it got the past couple years. I seriously hope to see another installation in the series... Maybe even a cheeky cameo from Asura's Wrath or Okami. It would be quite amusing.
Well, what do you know. Since I played it shortly after its release, and althought it is my favorite part of the series, I hated Samurai's Destiny for killing off my favorite character. And today I learn that Kotaro's death was not canonical. This is what I call a happy day. :)
This video is simply wonderfull and I can't believe I took so much time to see it, the considerations and explanation about character I never even considered, even having played onimusha 2 at least 6 times is absurd, and honestly, I just feel this video is a work of art. I don't even know how to flatter it more besides thank you, for this video, for the explanations, for the interpretations, for everything. I really hope that someday we can still see a full remake of the series by Capcom, that would simply be the greatest thing ever, but as you said, the game is kinda cult and not so much looked for anymore, that's sad.
More than likely it’s due to the Actual RL Actors that they used for the main characters! Not to mention it was more than likely Japan’s Idol/Actor/Actress Corporations that may have copyright slammed this series! Especially with Onimusha 2 and Blade Warriors using a Dead Actor’s likeness.
This is impressive man, idk if you’re going for a large following or to make a career out of content creating or just doing this for fun, but if you keep this quality up with more popular games (of course that you still have interest in) you got something going for you here.
Honestly, I'm just doing this because I love Onimusha, though I won't deny that I was also motivated by the fact that nobody else had really delved into the Onimusha lore like this before I did. I certainly don't expect this to become a career, even if the series gets a resurgence following the Netflix anime and more people find my content, but I am happy to see it resonating with people! As for doing this kind of thing with a more popular series, I'm not sure I'd be able to produce content of a matching quality since I don't think that there's a series that I'm as invested in as Onimusha. If I'm not able to put in the same passion as I can with Onimusha, then I don't think it's worth it since it won't be as high quality
@@DanishThePenguin nothing wrong with that, respect the honesty bro! Wishing you the best I’m still watching this video right now as we speak but I’ll check out the other onimusha content you have up!
@@tylorstevens7772 Many thanks! I actually have something currently uploading as I type this that I've been wanting to cover since I first started this Timeline project, so hopefully that's maintained the same quality. Kinda weird knowing I've been working on Onimusha content for nearly a year now
@@DanishThePenguinyou can def make it a career bro. I’m sitting here watching the whole thing and have only even found out the games exist just today lol. If you can get me that interested in something I had no clue even existed you have talent fr. May not get to talk about just games you like but you can def talk about anything and get people interested. Keep it up !
The first two games were my absolute favorite as a kid! I loved how creepy everything was, and the story and cut scenes were next level. It was one of those games back in the day that you definitely saw posters for inside game and hobby shops. But not a lot of people would talk about it. Definitely underrated; if you knew you knew. Cheers!
Just want to say danish the penguin thank you for making this video I'm a big fan of this franchise ever since I was a kid and it was one of the many first games I got to play after I got through my battle with cancer and such a young age and this is one of the many games that help me get through my chemo treatment because I still have to go through my spinal taps and always makes me happy to see people talk about this game and I also even more happy that both devil May cry and onimusha or getting their own animes on Netflix and I really do hope and pray that they do great with the series because I already kind of freaked out that Castlevania nocturne already had its downfall so hopefully both of the anime adaptations for this series and devil May cry do great because I want to see onimusha have its success and come back as a great video game or maybe we can get some remakes or finally the remastered collection of all the games and also will get to see more devil May cry down the timeline as well alongside onimusha
1:31:36 I love how Onimusha handles Time-Travel. How there are two Parallel Time-Lines that are being skewed by Gildenstern’s Use of the Time Folder! The only way they can stop this fool was by killing him and re-establishing a reconnection that ends once samanoske merges with his duplicate! It’s actually a really solid story structure!
I remember going to EB Games and was not sure about buying this game... even though it was just $20. Bought it and... well it became one of my favorite PS2 series.
i really hope this series gets more exposure. we need the rest of the series remastered, and hopefully followed by a final installment(s) to give us a true ending.
Came here after seeing the Onimusha Anime trailer on Netflix. Looks really interesting. And makes me hope Onimusha may get a remaster. Onimusha getting the Dragons Dogma team to work on it would be so amazing. Capcom seems to be honoring its past titles lately. One can hope they will do a new Onimusha game.
Honestly…I feel like IPs need to be sold between or sold to other Devs that can do more with these Games than the Parent company. Cause it’s get annoying when a Company has so Many Beloved IPS, but will only desire to pay money to make one 2 or 3 of the Money Making AAA titles, never taking any risks to make more of their B or C tier titles!
Only got to play onimusha dawn of dreams. And I'm not gonna lie. It was the cover that got me and nothing else. I was so happy the gameplay was amazing. But I'm only realizing now I had no clue what the hell was I playing lol. This was some dark shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You've made me appreciate my childhood even more. Thank you
I loved Dawn of Dreams so much. It actually made me a better fighter, because I thought Roberto was so cool, I incorporated some of his moves to my arsenal, and I was surprised how well they worked. But beside that, just the fighting style of everyone could be so much fun to play. Soki was intuitive and simple, Jubei the crit combo and parry queen, Tenkai while clumsy at first had great battlefield control, and versatility either lunging or combo attacks. And Ohatsu had a gun.
An amazing 3 hours and a good look back. It's crazy to see how dire everything is. Like yes, the genma was bad and influential, we see the good guys win in each game, but even with their victories, Nobunaga, the genma, Hideyoshi, Fortinbras, their corruption and conquering just expands and by the end of dawn of dreams we see that this had pretty much a global/time based impact on the world, even if the lens is mostly on Japan. Hopefully Capcom gives us the rest of the games on modern consoles some day at the very least.
Most of the information between blade warriors and oni 1 i didn't know about. It was all so convoluted and you filled me in after all these years! Thanks for this video it was much needed as a supporter of the oni franchise.
Onimusha Tactics is one of the best tactics games I've played, highly recommend. The entire series is amazing, even the blade warriors spinoff, I don't understand why Capcom abandoned it.
Given how quickly they forgot about it, I'm surprised that they had it available on the Wii U eshop. Shame that's dead now. Just glad I picked up Tactics there before it was lost, even if I suck at it XD
Bravo Sir this is an amazing lore video! I’m a huge darksouls/bloodborne lore fanatic & I played all onimisha games as a kid but never understood the lore. Thx for putting this together, I have a Huge appreciation for Capcom. DMC and Dragons Dogma are amazing games! Praise!
this is outstanding. thank you for this. i'm a little late to the party, though. i hope the sheer count of views on your video is signal enough for capcom to fund a full on remaster for the entire series. i mean, what else are they thinking of remastering at this point, RE5 and RE6?

The onimusha had some really outstanding music, its a shame it doesn't get more recognition

As for doing this kind of thing with a more popular series, I'm not sure I'd be able to produce content of a matching quality since I don't think that there's a series that I'm as invested in as Onimusha. If I'm not able to put in the same passion as I can with Onimusha, then I don't think it's worth it since it won't be as high quality
@@DanishThePenguin nothing wrong with that, respect the honesty bro! Wishing you the best I’m still watching this video right now as we speak but I’ll check out the other onimusha content you have up!
@@tylorstevens7772 Many thanks! I actually have something currently uploading as I type this that I've been wanting to cover since I first started this Timeline project, so hopefully that's maintained the same quality. Kinda weird knowing I've been working on Onimusha content for nearly a year now
@@DanishThePenguinyou can def make it a career bro. I’m sitting here watching the whole thing and have only even found out the games exist just today lol. If you can get me that interested in something I had no clue even existed you have talent fr. May not get to talk about just games you like but you can def talk about anything and get people interested. Keep it up !
The first two games were my absolute favorite as a kid! I loved how creepy everything was, and the story and cut scenes were next level. It was one of those games back in the day that you definitely saw posters for inside game and hobby shops. But not a lot of people would talk about it. Definitely underrated; if you knew you knew. Cheers!
The effort man is huuuge … thanks alot man you are awesome ❤
This was such a good watch reliving all the game play and learning the true timeline. Thanks a lot
Just want to say danish the penguin thank you for making this video I'm a big fan of this franchise ever since I was a kid and it was one of the many first games I got to play after I got through my battle with cancer and such a young age and this is one of the many games that help me get through my chemo treatment because I still have to go through my spinal taps and always makes me happy to see people talk about this game and I also even more happy that both devil May cry and onimusha or getting their own animes on Netflix and I really do hope and pray that they do great with the series because I already kind of freaked out that Castlevania nocturne already had its downfall so hopefully both of the anime adaptations for this series and devil May cry do great because I want to see onimusha have its success and come back as a great video game or maybe we can get some remakes or finally the remastered collection of all the games and also will get to see more devil May cry down the timeline as well alongside onimusha
Amazing work.
Getting to relive the nostalgia without the countless hours of battle and puzzles. Felt like an anime
Onimusha inspired me so much as a kid
Magnificent work, sir! Thank you
Breath of Fire & Onimusha has so much potential to have at least 7 titles each

I love how Onimusha handles Time-Travel. How there are two Parallel Time-Lines that are being skewed by Gildenstern’s Use of the Time Folder!
The only way they can stop this fool was by killing him and re-establishing a reconnection that ends once samanoske merges with his duplicate!
It’s actually a really solid story structure!
I remember going to EB Games and was not sure about buying this game... even though it was just $20. Bought it and... well it became one of my favorite PS2 series.
Good stuff mate.
i really hope this series gets more exposure. we need the rest of the series remastered, and hopefully followed by a final installment(s) to give us a true ending.
I'm glad there's finally a timeline video for this game.
Came here after seeing the Onimusha Anime trailer on Netflix. Looks really interesting. And makes me hope Onimusha may get a remaster.
Onimusha getting the Dragons Dogma team to work on it would be so amazing. Capcom seems to be honoring its past titles lately. One can hope they will do a new Onimusha game.
Damn son I hope
Thank you for this video. This game stands out so much in my memory and I wish they would remake the first 2
Capcom are sitting on a bunch of dormant IPs that could be huge if they brought them back, Onimusha, Rival Schools, Dino Crisis...
Honestly…I feel like IPs need to be sold between or sold to other Devs that can do more with these Games than the Parent company.
Cause it’s get annoying when a Company has so Many Beloved IPS, but will only desire to pay money to make one 2 or 3 of the Money Making AAA titles, never taking any risks to make more of their B or C tier titles!
thank you!!! needed this
Wow a 3 hour Onimusha video!! This is amazing
I can’t wait Onimusha 5🗡🗾🗻⛩……
Will be Onimusha be 5?! when ?? :))
Only got to play onimusha dawn of dreams. And I'm not gonna lie. It was the cover that got me and nothing else. I was so happy the gameplay was amazing. But I'm only realizing now I had no clue what the hell was I playing lol.
This was some dark shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You've made me appreciate my childhood even more.
Thank you
I loved Dawn of Dreams so much. It actually made me a better fighter, because I thought Roberto was so cool, I incorporated some of his moves to my arsenal, and I was surprised how well they worked.
But beside that, just the fighting style of everyone could be so much fun to play. Soki was intuitive and simple, Jubei the crit combo and parry queen, Tenkai while clumsy at first had great battlefield control, and versatility either lunging or combo attacks. And Ohatsu had a gun.
An amazing 3 hours and a good look back. It's crazy to see how dire everything is. Like yes, the genma was bad and influential, we see the good guys win in each game, but even with their victories, Nobunaga, the genma, Hideyoshi, Fortinbras, their corruption and conquering just expands and by the end of dawn of dreams we see that this had pretty much a global/time based impact on the world, even if the lens is mostly on Japan. Hopefully Capcom gives us the rest of the games on modern consoles some day at the very least.
I hope this doesn’t offend the creator but I love taking naps with videos as long as this and about cult neglected game series
Not offended in the slightest! I do the same when I sleep with other videos. I find it hard to sleep without some form of background noise
I loved onimusha 3. And damn did it have some tricky puzzles to figure out.
thank you for giving so much time and love these series ^_^ they deserved it!
Thank you for your hard work it does not go unappreciated 🙏❤
Most of the information between blade warriors and oni 1 i didn't know about. It was all so convoluted and you filled me in after all these years! Thanks for this video it was much needed as a supporter of the oni franchise.
One of the worst thing Capcom did in this was killing off Kaede, basically off screen.
True. 😢. That does suck.
Onimusha Tactics is one of the best tactics games I've played, highly recommend. The entire series is amazing, even the blade warriors spinoff, I don't understand why Capcom abandoned it.
Given how quickly they forgot about it, I'm surprised that they had it available on the Wii U eshop. Shame that's dead now. Just glad I picked up Tactics there before it was lost, even if I suck at it XD
Tactics gets easier as you progress and it's a bit short, give it a chance it won't take much effort to beat it. 👍
Thank you so much, miss this game
What a treat! I loved every minute of this.
Absolutely fantastic work!
Thanks man you did a lot of hard work for this videos. Your dedication is really marvellus 🥰🥰
ohhhhhh when you used the Hideout 1 theme to introduce the Dawn of Dreams lore, I almost started crying
All of this just makes me realize how little I knew of what was going on while I was playing these games as a child...
This series was criminally underrated. Would love to see a new game as a next gen release.
Bravo Sir this is an amazing lore video! I’m a huge darksouls/bloodborne lore fanatic & I played all onimisha games as a kid but never understood the lore. Thx for putting this together, I have a Huge appreciation for Capcom. DMC and Dragons Dogma are amazing games! Praise!
Glad to see my boy soki again after so many years
with how much going back and forth though time in 3, its amazing there was no paradoxes
V good written
I LOVED the Onimusha series.
I loved 3 and Dawn of Dreams.
this is outstanding. thank you for this. i'm a little late to the party, though. i hope the sheer count of views on your video is signal enough for capcom to fund a full on remaster for the entire series. i mean, what else are they thinking of remastering at this point, RE5 and RE6?
I enjoyed every moment of it. thank you I appreciate you for doing this 🙏🏾 I love and miss this game
