Tommy Vercetti, gangster in 80's MIAMI pushing jobs for the biggest drug kingpin in town, can't swim. In fact, he drowns immediately as he submerges in water. I'm sure there are other examples of game design keeping you out of water that I can't think of right now.
Ever since we first met Rao, I've been dying to see the conclusion of her story arc based on what I'd read. I can't believe we're almost there! Damn cliffhanger!
If you notice, the beads around Rao as seen in the Dragon Orb are blue, while they are seen as red when you see her normally. When I first played this game, noticing this one little detail changed my opinion about Rao.
This is one of my least favourite parts in the game, if only the foxes had appeared before you got the dragon orb you could have got the fox rods, relieved the water dragons pain, had him turn back into King Wada, have Wada advise you not to give Rao the rods and given them to Himiko who could have used their dark power to locate Oni island without need for any death.
Just so people know, that treasure box Ammy and Issun found is the Tamate Bakko, Tamate Box in English. It relates to the story of Urashima-Taro, which we will see the effects of later.
I really liked this video's ending more than the others'. The visual of Ammy running with the awesome music after the shocking revelation made it more 'special', I think. I like all the pictures with the songs used for the end ofthe videos, but this one is my fave :)
This is so great. I played this wonderful game about 4 or 3 years ago, and this let's play is bringing back some so sweet memories. Thanks Chuggaa, and I can't wait for your 1,000th video, even if you don't do anything special!
When Urashima Taro got back, he saw that a hundred years had passed on the surface. Stricken, he opened up the treasure box.. and immediately aged a hundred years. It's basically the Japanese version of Rip Van Winkle. Mind if I string you along? *hand to forehead*
just finished the game and dear god im gonna play it again. haven't played such a beautiful game in a long time. and chuggaa, your walkthrough is awesome, thanks a bunch :D
@Chuggaaconroy I'm not sure if you've done this yet, and you probably already know this, but if you use a glaive in midair as a sub-weapon, you can dive towards enemies at high speed. It really comes in handy against flying enemies and bosses, when you need to move quickly.
can someone explain the revelation from the dragon orb? if the Rao with the blue beads the real one, how does that match up with the skeleton in the next episode? and ninetails?
@Soupinacup96 actually, that isn't a time paradox since there can exist multiple different treasure boxes at the same time. At best it could be a spacial paradox since all the treasure boxes are the same size in the game, thus one cannot fit in another.
So... what was done in this episode was... a bit of running, cutscenes, taking some treasures, running a few seconds, cutscenes, then epic ending of awesomeness consisting of running? Did I miss anything?
actually thats real, near the bottom of the ocean there are areas where the water is filled minerals or something, i dont remember the specifics, and it dosent mix with the rest of the water making something resembling a lake under water
hey chuggaa i have a question? how does amaterasu change forms? oh and you rock i watched almost every video you had oh and could u see if u can answer my question in the next vid?
i really can't wait for his opinion when he finishes this game, i just want to hear him say something about reset, the thank you version and the main song
That last soundtrack, thats kushi's ride, so you DO hear it more than once in the game. I'm surprised chugga didn't comment on that, that IS his favorite music in okami.
The Dragon Palace and the Treasure Box are all related to the legend of Urashima Taro, a young fisherman who protected a turtle from a group of punks. The turtle took him to the Dragon Palace where he played with the young Princess. When he eventually wanted to go home, she let him and gave him a Treasure Box, but told him never to open it..
about the dragon palace and the tresure box..... theres a similar thing in the game Wonderland Online (WLO for short) thats about them.... its part of a quest there and im NOT going to spoil it because i think it might be a spoiler about the tresure box in Okami AND in WLO. and if you have done the quest eather in Okami and/or in WLO...u know what im talking about o.e (JUST wanted to point that out)
@Angelblade717 Didn't you notice that the Rao Amaterasu and Issun met with had red beads on her necklace while the one in the vision had blue beads? You were right. I know this because I peeked ahead at different videos... :)
why couldnt rao go in the temple, get tons of prayer slips, and toss them at the black mutant fox thingy before she get possessed? worked for the ghosts at the ship!
@robotmaster101 That's because devise is actually a word. It means to make or create so like to devise a plan. The reason why it didn't put a red line because it wasn't incorrectly spelled but it was incorrect grammar.
@omgbbq101 I know you asked Chuggaa and that I'm not Chuggaa but still I'm going to recommend you which game you should get, I would recommend you White 'cause Zekrom is awesome as heck, but if you want to totally own N in the final battle (SPOILERS!) you should get Black 'cause reshiram can handle most of N's team. So yeah, both games are awesome.
What happens if you don't escape in time from the water dragon? I know you probably die but does it show any sorta special death cutscene or something?
YES MORE AWESOME MUSIC!!! *loves this game soo much* its funny when you play the game a first time you don't catch things that you understand better like when your playing the 3rd time
Okami Amaterasu: God of the sun, can breath underwater, can't swim atop it for a minute.
Ninten- I mean Capcom logic.
Then again, Capcom did create the Ace Attorney series which have "unique"physics.
Tommy Vercetti, gangster in 80's MIAMI pushing jobs for the biggest drug kingpin in town, can't swim. In fact, he drowns immediately as he submerges in water. I'm sure there are other examples of game design keeping you out of water that I can't think of right now.
The Water Dragon was a king? Wada surprise!
Rao! Calm down!
Y'know, ya gotta love how Issun doesn't question how Rao got to the palace...
King Wada... as in water... you have got to be kidding me. I forgot just how bad of a pun that was.
Not a pun sadly. King Wada is based off a Japanese deity, "Watatsumi": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watatsumi
correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Wada is a character from mythology, "Wadatsumi," the god of the tides (or something related to water)
King Wada was the 'Wada Dragon'. I'm so sorry.
Get out.
Thefiredragon99, that was hurtful, apologize to him/her.
Wadaya know.
Ever since we first met Rao, I've been dying to see the conclusion of her story arc based on what I'd read. I can't believe we're almost there! Damn cliffhanger!

When I first played this game, noticing this one little detail changed my opinion about Rao.
ok how is ammy creating flowers inside a dragon
Firekiller749 hum ok its oriental mytholagy after all
EnderBorn Magic
King Wada's death is one of the saddest scenes in Okami, that always gets me to cry. There are a few other scenes in the game that get me too.
LadyDinoCrisis the one that got me was rao, since you never truly meet her and she's just some bones at the bottom of a hole. As well as himiko
This is one of my least favourite parts in the game, if only the foxes had appeared before you got the dragon orb you could have got the fox rods, relieved the water dragons pain, had him turn back into King Wada, have Wada advise you not to give Rao the rods and given them to Himiko who could have used their dark power to locate Oni island without need for any death.
+Ziggy Angelo I think the foxes were waiting for her to remove the orb
Since the gitsune were servants to kitsune it is likely they were ordered to wait until Ammy had the orb.
Ammy trusting Rao is one way of looking at it. Ammy not wanting a "big target on her back" is how I saw it.
Sorry but your fox rods are in another castle :b. 5:50
On screen!! 11:24
Just so people know, that treasure box Ammy and Issun found is the Tamate Bakko, Tamate Box in English. It relates to the story of Urashima-Taro, which we will see the effects of later.
I don't trust her
I really liked this video's ending more than the others'. The visual of Ammy running with the awesome music after the shocking revelation made it more 'special', I think. I like all the pictures with the songs used for the end ofthe videos, but this one is my fave :)
Otohime has Fi's voice......... NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
+Cinque Izumi (Zac Rakurai) many people say fi was an even worse navi
This is so great. I played this wonderful game about 4 or 3 years ago, and this let's play is bringing back some so sweet memories. Thanks Chuggaa, and I can't wait for your 1,000th video, even if you don't do anything special!
worst mistake EVERY Ammy good thing you defeat her!!!

just finished the game and dear god im gonna play it again. haven't played such a beautiful game in a long time.
and chuggaa, your walkthrough is awesome, thanks a bunch :D
About time Chugga! We were waiting for this video to come out.
One of the best moments in the game, in my opinion, is just starting. Which means I cannot wait for the next video!
What a fantastic ending, the music really made the new quest of finding Rao, epic!
This playthrough's cutscenes are getting more epic with every installment.
@Chuggaaconroy I'm not sure if you've done this yet, and you probably already know this, but if you use a glaive in midair as a sub-weapon, you can dive towards enemies at high speed. It really comes in handy against flying enemies and bosses, when you need to move quickly.
When it showed King Wada's back, I was wondering, "Is that a walrus?"
can someone explain the revelation from the dragon orb? if the Rao with the blue beads the real one, how does that match up with the skeleton in the next episode? and ninetails?
Rao with the blue beads is the real one. Ninetails killed her and took her form to trick everyone.
@Soupinacup96 actually, that isn't a time paradox since there can exist multiple different treasure boxes at the same time. At best it could be a spacial paradox since all the treasure boxes are the same size in the game, thus one cannot fit in another.
So... what was done in this episode was... a bit of running, cutscenes, taking some treasures, running a few seconds, cutscenes, then epic ending of awesomeness consisting of running? Did I miss anything?
The end was sooo epic! Ammy's pose rocked!
Okami could be made into a movie with all the suspense, seriously.
"In touch with your inner Brock."
I love you, man.
guys the name of the Tune at the end of the video is called "Kushi's Ride"
enjoy :D
I almost died of epicness when that vision came up and it was all dark and mysterious.
Poor Water Dragon...
Heh....
At least it wasn't intentional, It's usually intentional in other Capcom games, *cough *cough monster Hunter *cough *cough
I love the theme that plays when something dramatic is gonna happen.
As you can see in the Dragon orb, you can see both of Rao's eyes. But the Rao you've seen before had one eye covered.... Hmmm... what could this mean?
@101VampiresILove It's because the vision was being seen through the Dragon Orb, and the Dragon Orb makes them look blue.
actually thats real, near the bottom of the ocean there are areas where the water is filled minerals or something, i dont remember the specifics, and it dosent mix with the rest of the water making something resembling a lake under water
The song is called "Giving Kushinada a Ride", better known as "Kushi's Ride".
thank you for posting videos of this amazing game!
Quick Amaterasu, save Priestess Rao! We'd miss all of the funny jokes that Issun makes about her, if anything bad were to happen.
hey chuggaa i have a question? how does amaterasu change forms? oh and you rock i watched almost every video you had oh and could u see if u can answer my question in the next vid?
i really can't wait for his opinion when he finishes this game, i just want to hear him say something about reset, the thank you version and the main song
Awesome music makes epic cliffhanger all the more epic.
whats the music from when Ammy and Issun realize rao is in trouble and Issun says
"Cmon, Ammy!"
That last soundtrack, thats kushi's ride, so you DO hear it more than once in the game. I'm surprised chugga didn't comment on that, that IS his favorite music in okami.
I looked at the dragon orb though, and I saw that that was actually the real Rao, because the beads on her necklace were blue, not red like Evil Rao.
The Dragon Palace and the Treasure Box are all related to the legend of Urashima Taro, a young fisherman who protected a turtle from a group of punks. The turtle took him to the Dragon Palace where he played with the young Princess. When he eventually wanted to go home, she let him and gave him a Treasure Box, but told him never to open it..
Your videos are the thing that I wait every day! What does that tell about myself???!!!
about the dragon palace and the tresure box..... theres a similar thing in the game Wonderland Online (WLO for short) thats about them.... its part of a quest there and im NOT going to spoil it because i think it might be a spoiler about the tresure box in Okami AND in WLO. and if you have done the quest eather in Okami and/or in WLO...u know what im talking about o.e (JUST wanted to point that out)
Ok, so where can you download all this music? It's amazing and if I don't find out soon, I'm going to scream!
I don't think that was the point of their statement. I'm pretty sure "divine" was in quotes because they were emphasizing that it's a holy object.
Wadas design is based off Shi Huangdi, isn't he? The nicknamed Dragon King?
chugga: we dont have hands
issun: hey just because i am small does not mean i dont exist
Another great vid, Chugga! I think Issun is more a Casanova than Brock, but to each their own. Looking forward to seeing what happens next! :D
But the vision of Rao in the orb was wearing Blue beads around her neck, and the one we've seen is wearing Red.... Could that mean...?
Nice cliffhanger there Chuggaa. Can't wait until next time.
Wow! They really do like to show off jiggling physics with rao and the music at the end is soooooo epic!!!
Chugga you are hilarious, even with the terrible puns who makes great cliffhangers
Didn't expect a video today.
Thanks Chugga =D
@TheMeshalij I believe that is the PSP Version, but Chuggaa is playing the Wii version.
@Angelblade717 Didn't you notice that the Rao Amaterasu and Issun met with had red beads on her necklace while the one in the vision had blue beads? You were right. I know this because I peeked ahead at different videos... :)
it was so epic you didn't say good bye and you left us in a cliffhanger?
Wada you mean that the Water dragon is dead, and I didn´t sea what happens him.
that is a good question. how in the world DID rao get under water if orca only lets the worthy in...?
i dont get it, Amaterasu has been breathing underwater for a few episodes now, so why when she is swimming for to long she drowns?
4:30 friendly reminder that be in this game, or in the original Japanese myths, Amaterasu is very much not straight.
@guoyu7 It's spelled "Chugga" the A after that is for Chugga A. Conroy.
Saddest part in the game is when the water dragon dies. Brings tears to my eyes still.
why couldnt rao go in the temple, get tons of prayer slips, and toss them at the black mutant fox thingy before she get possessed? worked for the ghosts at the ship!
how the hell do digestive juices go up in a body unless it was vomitting and i didnt see any fish bones
YOU KILLED IT IN A VERY BRUTAL WAY CHUGGAA!
DESTROYING IT'S INARDS!!!!!!
THAT IS SICK!
DDDD:
the music at the end is made of pure win.
to quote totalbiscuit: No, you are not an unique and beautiful snowflake!
HEY CHUGGA
FOR UR 1000th EP CAN U DO A VIDEO THAT SHOWS THE BEST MOMENTS FROM ALL THE GAMES U HAVE PLAYED..AND PLZ MAKE IT A LITTLE LONGER THAN USUAL
Either this episode was short, or there were WAY to many cutscenes in it xD
@robotmaster101 That's because devise is actually a word. It means to make or create so like to devise a plan. The reason why it didn't put a red line because it wasn't incorrectly spelled but it was incorrect grammar.
look closely.. before the real rao was killed her hair was not in front of her eyes and her necklace is blue :/
@omgbbq101 I know you asked Chuggaa and that I'm not Chuggaa but still I'm going to recommend you which game you should get, I would recommend you White 'cause Zekrom is awesome as heck, but if you want to totally own N in the final battle (SPOILERS!) you should get Black 'cause reshiram can handle most of N's team. So yeah, both games are awesome.
i was watching this some months ago and u are still not done!!!
ah yes, everyone must be more intune with their inner brock. for then and only then will we be able to save the world
Chugga are you playing pokemon black or white? If you havent gotten one yet, they are a lot of fun
are you going to do anything special for your 1000th video?
i love that he gets stuck on the rail.
this is an awesome b-day present chugga thanks :D
That's enough cliff-hangers for you, Chugga!
Anyone else notice how Rao in the dragon orb has blue beads around her neck whereas all the other times we see Rao she has red beads?
Hmmmm I hear the awesome soundtrack--it's Giving Kushinada A Ride, right?
"You're very muck in touch with your inner Brock" XD
What happens if you don't escape in time from the water dragon? I know you probably die but does it show any sorta special death cutscene or something?
Would anything happen if you used mist while escaping the water dragon?
YES MORE AWESOME MUSIC!!! *loves this game soo much*
its funny when you play the game a first time you don't catch things that you understand better like when your playing the 3rd time
Great cameo in the Legend of Dragoon Cuggaa. Though you were kinda scary...
......Did chuggaa even do anything in this video other than cutscenes+cutscene=Ultimate hugemungo cutscene?
from one cliffhanger to another.
dude you should have uploaded another part or at least made this one longer because like half of this was just cutscenes.
ickkkkkk. I know its sad and all but all I can think about is what happens to Amaterasu and Issun if you don't get out of the whale in time...
