Shuten Doji "Little Drunkard": Despite it's rather demeaning nickname, this Oni is not to be taken lightly. In terms of Yokai, few are able to rival him in pure evil. Unlike most Oni of his might, he was not born as one. He was once a human-yokai hybrid, born from a human woman, he was the son of the great Yamata-no-Orochi himself. As a child, he displayed amazing physical strength and intellect far beyond his age. While these traits were impressive, they caused all around him to alienate him. People called him Demon Child, and even his own mother abandoned him. This resulted in a deep resentment and hatred for humanity to begin welling up within him. He became an apprentice priest at Mt. Hiei, and was naturally stronger and smarter than any of his peers. Yet still, he hated them. One night, there was a festival. While everyone else was enjoying themselves and reveling in the festivities, Shuten Doji had his own fun. After getting obscenely drunk, he donned an Oni mask, and proceeded to terrorize the other priests by jumping out from the shadows. After he had he fun, he went to take the Oni mask off, only to find that he couldn't find where his face ended and the mask began. The mask had fused to his face, becoming a part of him. He fled into the mountains, hiding himself from the world, stealing food and booze to survive. His hate for mankind festered, unlocking powerful evil magics within him. His expert displays of thievery had impressed a gang of local bandits, who he decided he would teach his ways to, and form a gang of his own. He even met another like him, a Demon Child named Ibaraki Doji, who he took in and made his second in command. Over time, they all transformed into true Oni, and went on a glorious rampage in a bid to overthrow the Emperor and take control. They pillaged and razed villages to the ground, drinking the blood of and devouring noble virgins raw (Not like that, they were actually eating them. organs and everything.) Before they could secure the capitol, a group of legendary heroes led by Minamoto no Yorimitsu were able to debilitate the army of demons by gifting them with sake that had been tainted by a magical poison. Yorimitsu decapitated the Demon King Shuten Doji, yet even then, the head lived and continued to bite at it's attacker. The head of Shuten Doji was buried outside of the city, in the mountains of Oinosaka. Should the King of Oni ever resurface, a cup of the poison used to defeat him and his army can be found at Nariai-Ji temple in Kyoto.
@@darakkriess1030 Kintoki was a part of Yorimitsu's group of heros. So yes. He did have a hand in Shuten's demise, but it was Yorimitsu who dealt the final blow. At least in the version of the story that I read.
In some versions, Shuten Doji (or Douji) and the other onis were told as propaganda against the government in ancient Japan. The onis were actually humans who were called demons who defied the government officials, voiced out the pleas of the marginalized, and sought to overthrow the current rulers.
Look, I like the Touhou version of Shuten Doji and appreciate FGO's interpretation (even though I don't play) but this? This is honestly one of the most INCREDIBLE depictions of Shuten Doji I've ever seen! I love it!
This boss design is so fun. In general, Nioh 2 bosses are all memorable but Shuten Douji has the most charisma imo. He looks like the demon form of Kyo from the old manga, Samurai Deeper Kyo, his hair is alive and he breathes fire, and it’s so fun to see him raging for wine. I wish we could get more content on him.
Alright, I love Fate as much as the next guy, and I mean that I'm super huge into the series, but... Guys, come on, can we just appreciate the badass oni boss for what it is, rather than trying to compare him to the wine loli in Grand Order?
yeah not to mention Shuten-Doji by mythology itself is always been a Man, its Ibaraki-Doji who is often a woman. so while i do know fate genderbends alot of figures. shouldn't really be comparing the loli Shuten from Fate to a game where Shuten is more well mythologically accurate.
@@LordTerrantos It's a case of cultural relevancy overtaking the source material. Try looking up Astolfo on Google Images, and pretty-much every image is of his Fate counterpart; same with Edmond Dantes. Fate's kind of a double-edged sword in that regard; it's because of that series I even know about a lot of these more obscure figures in history/mythology, but it kinda overshadows them with its own portrayals in some cases.
Sometimes when he’s low on HP he will be swinging his club and eventually fall flat on the floor, allowing a free groundstab, it’s such a funny boss fight lol
Given that Shuten was in the same place as the Nine-Tails, it's safe to say that the Fox is none other than Tamamo-No-Mae. So we have have all 3 of the Great Yokai/Kijin/Demon Gods in this game.
The thing about nioh that I love is that there's a boss who screws over any typw of player, for me the sudden, slow heavy random movements this boss throws out always catches me, but other more "professional" fights are easy, like how I can fight Maria in bloodborne but not ludwig
So, in an attempt to stall for time, Koji releases the other two Great Demons, only it doesn't work out so well. Tamamo decided to just run off, and Shuten barely took the fight seriously.
Yeah, he is a pretty fun fight, to be honest. That flaming hair attack is just sick in my opinion. Kinda disappointed that ain't the yokai attack for his soul core. Some may say he's easy, but that honestly just depends on the player. In games like this, difficulty is heavily subjective. One may struggle immensely with Mezuki or Tokichiro whilst another rolls over Otakemaru or mister dual hatchets.
Alright, I'm going to catch hell for this, but I have to get it off my chest. Finally, the REAL version of Shuten Doji instead of that weird-ass lolicon! *breathes out in relief* Alright, now I feel better. Hats off to the design team on this one, especially with the flaming hair.
Yes, Abe No Seimei and Minamoto No Raiko held the seals with their spirit and body and their lifeforce and their weapon. Once those were broken, the demons were free from their imprisonment to run rampant.
This game has more variety in terms of gameplay and playstyles. There is also character customization and you can Co op missions with other players. But sekiro has a more interesting world/map design and is more visually pleasing. Depends on what you want I guess. I prefer nioh but sekiro is also really good.
@@draw2death421 harder bosses? Your crazy man. I love nioh 2 But must of the bosses are easy and none of them come close to the likes of sword saint, owl father and demon of hatred. Tbf I hear shibata katsuie was insane when the game first came out but at the point I played him he certainly wasn't
She is actually Minamoto no yorimitsu aka Raiko(Shuten mentions her in his death dialogue)/See the ending in Darkness in the capital and you will understand.
@M D At the time I beat Shuten Doji in Nioh 2 for the first time, I thought I read the comments on what was their experience is, and what their thoughts with this boss. But instead of that. I'm looking at lot of misinformation and confusing bullshit. Like the main comment above. Seriously, why did this guy think this boss a Medical loli? What is a Medical loli anyway? Is this guy drunk or something?

...wow you definitely have A LOT of extra time on your hands, don't you? 🤷♂️

but this?
This is honestly one of the most INCREDIBLE depictions of Shuten Doji I've ever seen! I love it!
What the hell? This boss is in Touhou and whatever FGO is?
@@deadeye_john Yup. In Touhou she's known as Suika Ibuki but she's Shuten Douji.
@@Giganotus Does the Touhou version look similar to the Nioh 2 version?
@@deadeye_john Sorta? She's got long orange hair tied up in a similar fashion and horns similar to this one's.

also when you beat him he implies that he enjoyed the fight
Alright, I love Fate as much as the next guy, and I mean that I'm super huge into the series, but... Guys, come on, can we just appreciate the badass oni boss for what it is, rather than trying to compare him to the wine loli in Grand Order?
I mean, he looks like a chad lad himself if we somehow get a drinking party together.
And the wine loli in Touhou
yeah not to mention Shuten-Doji by mythology itself is always been a Man, its Ibaraki-Doji who is often a woman. so while i do know fate genderbends alot of figures. shouldn't really be comparing the loli Shuten from Fate to a game where Shuten is more well mythologically accurate.

We just need a Berserker Shuten that's closer to the og legend
Sometimes when he’s low on HP he will be swinging his club and eventually fall flat on the floor, allowing a free groundstab, it’s such a funny boss fight lol
But you better back off because a surprise smack from the club will come out of nowhere as a wakeup attack
Given that Shuten was in the same place as the Nine-Tails, it's safe to say that the Fox is none other than Tamamo-No-Mae.
So we have have all 3 of the Great Yokai/Kijin/Demon Gods in this game.
Was the other One Daidarabocchi?
godzilla4189 nope it was otakemaru
Yeah, we fight her in the last dlc of the first one
There is still emperor Sutoku.
Oh god, so many rule 34 flashbacks are haunting me.
I'm confused. Are you gay? Because this boss appears to be a man.
@@deadeye_john the FGO counterpart
@@satrio303 What the hell is FGO? That sounds like the drink "Faygo" but if you take out the A and Y.
@@deadeye_john Fate/Grand Order
@@wallacesousuke1433 What's that? That name doesn't make sence.
The cutscene hits a bit differently now after the DLC.
And Shuten himself also hits differently: He hits WAY harder and WAY faster. Jeez!
Tamamo-No-Mae there just peacing off there only to be got later by William
The thing about nioh that I love is that there's a boss who screws over any typw of player, for me the sudden, slow heavy random movements this boss throws out always catches me, but other more "professional" fights are easy,

So, in an attempt to stall for time, Koji releases the other two Great Demons, only it doesn't work out so well. Tamamo decided to just run off, and Shuten barely took the fight seriously.
This boss took me like 7 or 8 tries to beat. Overall I think this boss was a fun yet hard fight.
Deadeye John same here he’s cool, badass, challenging and drunk
Yeah, he is a pretty fun fight, to be honest. That flaming hair attack is just sick in my opinion. Kinda disappointed that ain't the yokai attack for his soul core.
Some may say he's easy, but that honestly just depends on the player. In games like this, difficulty is heavily subjective. One may struggle immensely with Mezuki or Tokichiro whilst another rolls over Otakemaru or mister dual hatchets.
He was one of my favorite characters to use in Warriors Orochi 3
My fav boss in the game and he has my 2 fav items. His club and gourd.
*Witnesses opening combo
Is that you, Magara?
This was a fun battle.
One last swig before he dies. Fitting.
Alright, I'm going to catch hell for this, but I have to get it off my chest.
Finally, the REAL version of Shuten Doji instead of that weird-ass lolicon! *breathes out in relief* Alright, now I feel better. Hats off to the design team on this one, especially with the flaming hair.
What the hell is a lolicon? I'm pretty sure this boss isn't this "lolicon" word you're saying.
@@xanderstabratioisnotcorpor8726 I'm still confused.

Wow shuten got to the gym
wait, why is his appearance different in the Warrior orochi huh
Man, Shuten Doji has really seen better times.
And for better times, I mean Fate GO
And touhou
Did you notice that there are corpses of minamoto and that wizard?
Yes, Abe No Seimei and Minamoto No Raiko held the seals with their spirit and body and their lifeforce and their weapon. Once those were broken, the demons were free from their imprisonment to run rampant.
did he drop the smiting text for his weapon in ng?
Hmmm sekiro or this game? Which one should i buy?
This game has more variety in terms of gameplay and playstyles. There is also character customization and you can Co op missions with other players. But sekiro has a more interesting world/map design and is more visually pleasing. Depends on what you want I guess. I prefer nioh but sekiro is also really good.
If you want more Advantaged Combat system and in my opinion harder bosses pick nioh if you want a Better Story and Better Graphics pick Sekiro.
@@draw2death421 harder bosses? Your crazy man. I love nioh 2
But must of the bosses are easy and none of them come close to the likes of sword saint, owl father and demon of hatred.
Tbf I hear shibata katsuie was insane when the game first came out but at the point I played him he certainly wasn't
@@joesheridan9451 he was insane i can confirm
This is what happens when you take her wine away.
This boss is a him not a her.

Bad News: There's a fromsoft version in the 2nd DLC. Beware I repeat Beware
good
What are you talking about? There are no Oni in fromsoftware games aside from the Demon of Hatred.
Get ready for round 2 with him
I like to think the two skeletons that were blown away were Abe No Semei and the other women we see in the cutscene after defeating otakemaru
No Abe was responsible for Otakemaru but he failed considering Otakemaru escaped
She is actually Minamoto no yorimitsu aka Raiko(Shuten mentions her in his death dialogue)/See the ending in Darkness in the capital and you will understand.
