I love how he has a frekaing Nūrihyon as one of his guardian spirits alongside Seiryu. I mean, a tea-drinking old man and the Dragon King of the East? It's such a wierd combo and yet it looks so damn cool.
Epic boss fight speech. In the dojo fight and higher difficulties, he's just in perma living weapon mode, with little downtime, which makes this fight extremely hard. Even a tanky build gets 1shot by his dash on Way of the Nioh.
I mean it makes sense after Nioh 2, where its explained people who are infused with amrita energy and stones are halfway yokai and guardian spirits in the game are yokai but good form. Date being almost permanently in living weapon form would make sense when his eye is amrita stone.
Best and toughest boss in game due to guardian spirits. For those who don't know who the old man is it's nurariyhon one of the strongest yokai in myths.
@@georgehatake4039 eh both Samurai warriors and Sengoku Basara are awesome.I just wish Crapcom would quit neglecting a gem like SB by following in Disney's foot steps with their remake bs,But still SB is pretty interesting,It may have things I don't like but I use fanfiction and fanart to fix that ^^
Never got hard stuck on a boss like this one Kos and Isshin took me about 4 hours And this guy took me 2 years from first encounter to finish It took me 30 minutes after finishing Nioh 2 Thanks Nioh 2 ending for giving me courage to take on him again
This game is so awesome!!!! I've put about 260 hours into it. Still playing it. Like the comments state Date Masamune is probably the hardest boss in the game. I live in southern Japan on Kyushu in Kumamoto prefecture and have been surprised by how much this game teaches about Samurai. One of the Samurai you face in the training dungeons trained the Samurai from the town I live in. I was blown away when I read about him teaching the Sagara clan. The town I'm in is only about 40,000 people and very country. Anyway, this game is freakishly addictive and probably my favorite game to date on PS4. But I love Horizon and MGS5 as well.
@@KuroNoTenno It's not even Tokugawa Ieyasu's army. The crest and colors didn't even match at all. Sekiro isn't based on real historical event, only inspired by it.
@@zeroskaterz92 Actually, the army that attacked Ashina is probably Ii Naomasa'a Red Devils, just without Naomasa himself, because he's not in a good shape.
@@KuroNoTenno It's not even Ii Naomasa's either. Go look up some actual history, none of what you said even happened because Sekiro ISN'T BASED ON REAL HISTORY. The only thing that actually exist was the Ashina clan but there's no Ishin Ashina whatsoever. It was fictional inspired by a real time period. Ashina clan wasn't even huge like the game depicted. For the same reason Dark Souls wasn't based on the historical medieval time period. They merely inspired by it and set in their own fictional universe.
feyzal92 sekiro its more real life based than dark soûls . Its based on a real country Japan ( dark soûls its middle age un general non specific place ) and its set on a real historical period and there are some real life inspirations like the senpo temple or the fountain head palace ho is based on itsukushima temple
@TheSithlord259 While we're talking about Samurai Warriors, I think it's funny how in the first SW, he had two wooden swords and shot some dragon head things. Here, he has two _real_ swords and a whole dragon thing.
@@iflyte Dark Souls are absolutely not in vein of Berserk. Only some similarities in looks of some characters and clothing. Even Dragon's Dogma with Guts armor (only on PS3) is closer gameplay-wise.
His Phase 2 sword slices attacks looking like Nanto Seiken distance attacks like Nanto suijochen Splitting Earth dragon hand from The Fist Of The North Star
I just killed this boss first try without even trying. I don't understand what is making him hard for people, and I see him mostly on top of the "hardest boss" tier lists.
Why is Masamune always depicted wearing an eye-patch? Did he wear one in real life? Also, why do they adhere to the Japanese name order in Nioh (surname first), but not in Samurai Warriors? They're both localized by Koei Tecmo.
@@Slaveknight_gael Actually no, he didn't actually wear an eye-patch and he insisted that he is depicted with both eyes, as he was ashamed of his condition. His wife, on the other hand, always asked that he is depicted with one eye, as she wanted him to be remembered the way he was.
He lost vision in his eye from small pox as a child. His statue in Sendai has an eye-patch, I don’t see why he would wear one to make some fashion statement
funny thing, anjin means pilot in japanese. In Shogun, the novel written by James Clavel, the Japanese call the main character Anjin-san because they cannot pronounce Blackthorne.
the wind form is pretty doable but his water form is the fucking worst, it's a fucking nightmare to deal with, i just hate these ranged slash attacks in general tbh
Having more of a Sailor from history. Not even a retainer even as a Samurai defeat Date in my opinion is kinda messed up. Of course its fiction based on true events with mystical creatures and yokai. But it's like making a story where a cook in the military could defeat a Spec ops soldier in a firefight. Oh well. Fiction. And still love the game.
that's from Sengoku Basara game creation by Capcom, this Date Masamune is create by Omega Force, a sub-dev from Koei Tecmo, he using dual sword style or sword + handgun style
God this boss is bullshit. I can handle his constant guardian spam, but the health he has and his bullshit one-shot-kill charge attack is just fucking ridiculous.
Try quick change scroll,amulet ( any element), steel talisman,sloth talisman,devigorate,power pill, weakness taliman I kill him in a minute cause with quick change scroll u wont be afraid to die, and with sloth talisman date masamune will be slowed down till he looks like stunned and you can just attack him freely
huskytzu Ehh, I disagree. I think Niohs combat system is great too. The flow of stance changing makes combos far more interesting. Whereas Sekiro is more of clashing on swords until you get a deathblow oppurtunity
i know this isn't Sengoku Basara, but i was still waiting for him to scream "are you ready guys?"

I like 1 sword with two handgun
It's fucking hurt, I tried once. These swords nearly crush my fingers.
Let's be glad we weren't having six shots of living weapon coming are way.
Really nice job! Most of what I have seen is over-leveled beatdowns. It is nice to see a "normal" battle with him. Thanks!
The One Eyed Dragon, was waiting on him to say one of his Engrish lines I would’ve screamed. 😂😂
"COME WITH ME"
I love how he has a frekaing Nūrihyon as one of his guardian spirits alongside Seiryu.
I mean, a tea-drinking old man and the Dragon King of the East? It's such a wierd combo and yet it looks so damn cool.
Thing is, according to the Yokai legends, Nurihyon may just be as powerful if not more powerful than Seiryu.
From what I read that tea drinking old man is one of the most powerful yokai and their leader.
Nurarihyon is literally the leader of all yokai, bro

totally agree, great boss
he is only sneaking into your house though
They call him the commander
He is slippery as an eel
Sorry dude but this boss is easy , i can rate it 4/10
Cheeky bastard caught me off guard! That's all!
And he cheated and was using health orbs to gain more energy! You're the true winner Masamune!
So many Sengoku Basara Date comments here.
That's because despite of its crazyness, it's an iconic game about Sengoku Era n_n I actually like both this game and BASARA.
Yeah so very famous than Samurai Warriors
Sengoku Basara is Fake!

this boss fight seems like quite the......

Funny there's a Dante Masamune costume in Sengoku Basara
Never got hard stuck on a boss like this one

But your case is more interesting.
Do you play FF14 by any chance? lol
@@noriakikakyoin4430 In my case, it is STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl, lol.
Im at Sendai right now!
I was seriously hoping for the six swords

True
Dante Masamune..BigBoss of oshu..FULL SPEED AHEAD!!(Sengoku Basara)
Oshu Hittou, Date Masamune! LET'S PARTY! YEAHAA!
I have never seen a boss that NEEDS sloth talismans until this one, and you did without, very impressive (:
Chikage Amaterasu needed all 9
I dont like using the sloth talisman its too much of a cheese
I have a feeling that this dlc is not over yet
More samurais and demons to fight then
jak2492 link me the info
I wonder if we will get to fight Sanada Yukimura
P F yes he probably will be a boss since he's gonna be in dlc 2
Oh my god did nobody get that pun?
3:07 that damage holy hell lol
AgitoXFang Idk how he tank this its a one hit everytime for me xD
Oh Thats normal in Level 2 ,in f*ck*ng Level 2 that b*tch Boss one shotes me sometimes
Should be a guaranteed one shot
He is using defense up Tailsmans, I believe.
Edit: Their name is steel tailismans.
@@Avghistorian77 actually the defense talisman wore off right before he got hit by one shot
Thinks for another amazing video 👏👍🏻
FUCK YOU William Adams will fuck you up so badly and the Boss in this game looks like you haha. William Adams is fucking you up in this game.

It's actually Code Vein
@@jurtra9090 thats waifu souls
Wow, I thought we are gonna get the Pistol Prince Masamune instead from Samurai Warrios since Team Ninja can use Omega Force's characters now.
My favorite boss in this game so far. I have to get a few levels before going to the next dlc.
im probably going to get hate.
but man he was fun in warriors orochi and samurai warriors.
Samurai warriors and orochi are better than that crap of basara
TheSithlord259 why hate? Samurai Warrior games got me into reading and learning about Sengoku period japan 🇯🇵 and Edo era
Masamune was my second main after Nobunaga
That's the only reason why I freaked out when I heard Date Masamune was in Nioh.
Loved Samurai warriors 2.
@TheSithlord259
While we're talking about Samurai Warriors, I think it's funny how in the first SW, he had two wooden swords and shot some dragon head things. Here, he has two _real_ swords and a whole dragon thing.
Nerfed, he doesn't have his six swords
Date Masamune is a character in Sengoku Basara, he's a Dokugan Ryu.
Why can't we get a Berserk game like this.
Thatpokerface ikr
That would be dope. Team Ninja would do something great with this IP. I'm tired that Dark Souls is the only dark fantasy game closest to Berserk
Because Berserk sucks, that's why
We do, it's called dark souls

Let's Party!!
Date wielding two swords while you nodachi is strange situation
Where is "Here wo go, let party "
Date Masmune the king in the north
Love your vids
where is maria? She is in clock tower
Lolllllll this comment haha
I know I’m little too late but your comment made me think of Castlevania XD
And the fact that one of the guys referred to her as... 'Lady Maria'. REAL subtle there guys.
Remembers me when i had to beat the shit out of this little punk in samurai warriors 2 on the PS2...I miss that game
Kaiser Kosako that fuckers back for round 2
I just killed this boss first try without even trying.
I don't understand what is making him hard for people, and I see him mostly on top of the "hardest boss" tier lists.
One-Dragon-Dragon Party Time!!!!!!
For me this was the hardest Boss ingame 🤷🏼♂️
@Ari Jappendi
Nah Maria was worse, especially as an axe user.
I'm sad we didn't get his Nurarihyon spirit as well. Maybe in the later DLC
This is my fav boss of the game, and the best boss in the series as a whole so far. Thats just me though.
Why is Masamune always depicted wearing an eye-patch? Did he wear one in real life?
Also, why do they adhere to the Japanese name order in Nioh (surname first), but not in Samurai Warriors? They're both localized by Koei Tecmo.

Masamune Date has lost his eye to an infectious disease and wore a patch in real life.

Bullshit. The One Eyed dragon would have torn him apart with one X - Bolt.
Okay then.
Shinji(Vergil)Musashi:This is For Ruka Date Masamune Now You Die
Imagine if this guy resurected Honda Tadakatsu or Fuma Kotaro
I can imagine Hanzo getting revenge on Kotaro for killing his Daddy lol
why do they have stands?
y is Masume date awesome in any form of media he appears
Because historical Masamune was so cool, his family name became a synonym for coolness (Date Otoko, A man of Date)
Zoro got lost again.
Here we gooooo! Let’s parteyyy
Love the videos! You truly are a champ! How do you like the PvP?
funny thing, anjin means pilot in japanese. In Shogun, the novel written by James Clavel, the Japanese call the main character Anjin-san because they cannot pronounce Blackthorne.
William Adams is also called Miura Anjin
Most badass boss in the game with shigezane
the wind form is pretty doable but his water form is the fucking worst, it's a fucking nightmare to deal with, i just hate these ranged slash attacks in general tbh
so is best to wait until they bundle the dlc?
panoctic Yes
panoctic I have the season pass, so I don't need to worry,
if you didn't buy the game yet . look out for a sale on the digital deluxe version which gives all content
Mister Master like right now!!! Bought that shit instantly

So uh, any achievements for defeating any Nioh boss without health packs?
Is it possible that the guardian spirits enable william to communicate with the japanese???
独眼竜は伊達じゃねぇ、you see?
Swords:
Nodachi
Dual katanas
Now that's how you fight the boss. No sloth shit and spamming throwables
Honestly, against some bosses, sloth feels like a necessary evil.
Its funny because most of people from comments knows date masamune from anime but i know and love masamune from history xD
Its ps2 game not even anime tho (yeah i know its have anime)
What was that old guy spirit on the left side?
dat boi shawn who tips 0% Nurarihyon
4 HOURS FOR THAT FUCKING BFJVIPOGK
Masamune wasnt this strong when you joined teams with him... i hated that so much
Who is Masamune's seiyuu/voice actor?
Dokugan ryou (dragon one eye) CMIIW
Shinogi Toushirou? I was expecting Shokudairiki Mitsutada or Taikogane Sadamune as the drop!
WIsh they came up with a more original boss theme instead of using Nobunaga's.
I want to see a Musashi boss fight
engirish1977 you met him in main game tho
masamune serve the Tokugawa why is he the enemy here
rebel
He serveD them, in Nioh universe he was planning to overtake after he found amrita stones in the mines. Its explained in the game, learn to read.
Aw, no Megohime his wife?
Just what I was thinking.Masamune needs his lovely wife Megohime in Nioh,Samurai Warriors and Sengoku Basara
I would've loved to hear Sengoku's voice actor for this guy :/
A Hit and Miss.
i was hoping for his basara sub voice done by zoro voice actor
Where's the right eye of the dragon
I kinda wish he were voiced by Dante from Devil May Cry 5.
impressive
Song?
wait i thought date has 6 sword
Esperaba 6 espadas y que gritara cómo lunático.
God this boss is bullshit. I can handle his constant guardian spam, but the health he has and his bullshit one-shot-kill charge attack is just fucking ridiculous.
Eu pensei de verdade que seria o Date Masamune do Sengoku Basara e que usaria seis katanas. Gostei gostei!! Hihihihihihi!! Boa gameplay, gostei!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
beat this guy first attempt
I think Zhao Yun will jump down.
Es nioh2?
Damn....... and here I was enjoying the game until....................the DLC came.
Try quick change scroll,amulet ( any element), steel talisman,sloth talisman,devigorate,power pill, weakness taliman

Thats one god danm thought sob
date masamune 6 sword katana not 2 katana !
KOEI , WE WANT WARRIOR OROCHI OR NEXT DYNASTY WARRIOR OR SW FRANCHISE GAMEPLAY LIKE THIS , PUTTING DODGE AND PARRY IN IT , AND STOP LAZY AT WORK
Best boss in the game. Hard as nails but also never feels unfair like some of the easier but more bulshit bosses in the rest of the game
das ist der Masamune aus sengoku basar Samurai hero

Date Masamune gab's. Der aus dem Anime ist vom echten inspiriert.
Sekiro the prequel
Masamune without kazuya's voice are not coo
SENGOKU BASARA
Sengoku basara
Nioh with sekiro’s combat system would be so much more fun tho
huskytzu Ehh, I disagree. I think Niohs combat system is great too. The flow of stance changing makes combos far more interesting. Whereas Sekiro is more of clashing on swords until you get a deathblow oppurtunity
sekiro easy parry .and boring as fuck

awwn, he isn't voiced by Zoro's VA :(
Shinogi Toushiro!!! not Shinogito Shiro.... XDDD
