The Real Life Nagamasa was absolutely brilliant as a leader, and an extremely honorable man. However, it really seemed like the world was against him; Putting him in bad spot after bad spot, never once letting him breathe. His fate was a tragedy, and really undeserved. Even so, and even as an enemy, I'm happy this game represents one of Nobunaga Oda's greatest threats as an actual threat all things considered.

Dark realm music always hits differently! there is always a sense of doom or tragedy in it depending on the boss. one of my favorite is Shuten Doji theme when it enters Dark realm mode. that dude is a menace and I love it! Bruh im 4 months behind replying! 😅
Azai's theme is one of those songs that paints a picture clearly. You can really hear the sadness and resolve behind it. It's very much the same reason why I absolutely loved Ageha's theme in Shinobi it follows that same sadness and determination. In Ageha's case she destroyed a clan because she loved the main character's brother. Sad music is great.
By far my favorite Nioh 2 boss theme. The somber tone of it really hits you immediately. And given the real life history of the character it actually fits a lot
the soundtrack of this game is simply georgous edit : Yes i've misspelled the word GORGEOUS ... so outrageous lol ... geez dude ... (english is not my first language btw)
The fact, that Nioh 2 got no hard boss for me so far, doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy this game so far. I really love it! I play it on livestream and my community loves it. Especially this fight. I could not dodge Azai, but got the fact, that you can block nearly every attack except grabby grabs. This made this fight the slowest fast fight in souls history. And it fits perfectly. Waiting for this honorable fighter in japanese history, fighting for his destiny was one of the most epic moments of the game so far. A fair, honorable fight. My watchers were stunned. Great fight. My fav theme beside the afterglow theme. Great work. Thanks for the upload.
First boss to actually make me use up 200% of my lung capacity after I managed to beat him. I was NOT prepared to go into such a showdown against him while this kind of music plays...
play chinese version of the game and took me a while to find this gorgeous piece. I didn't want him to die but his demon mode is just awesome. Thank you for uploading this!
@@kangtheguardian1214 In normal phase, you can basically purposely hit his wing to get him to parry, then just dodge behind him. His followups have poor tracking, even the delayed one meant to punish you for buffering dodge immediately. Really simple if you want to ki break him quickly, bait it, dodge, hit with ki damage move, repeat. Dark Realm is a little more dangerous but he's really easy to burst counter with Feral or Phantom at least.
Boost your luck with tea ustensils, get item drop rate with all your armor, 2 netsuke sudama, and of course hunter's blessing with kodama bowl and kodama soulcore (you can get this soulcore by giving other soulcores to sudamas) Good luck farming.
It was the very first skill I got and I got it on my first attempt. It’s ok though, the likes of Deadly Spiral, U. Sign of the Cross/Double Headed Slicer, Triple Threat and others made sure to screw me over…
Both Nioh games always had so much beautiful and iconic soundtracks, from empowering adrenaline-boosting tracks to tragic and breathtaking tracks. Its a masterpiece of a franchise.

Was nice seeing him again in the Interim, and being able to spar with him on friendly terms.
Kashin was controlling him
Even with this, the Azai bloodline lived on through his second daighter, the wife of Tokugawa Hidetada

To choose between your clan’s lifelong ally or your brother-in-law.
The outcome was guaranteed to be tragic.
Dumb question sorry, who is the lifelong ally?

Best music of Nioh2 for me. It captures the tragedy, sadness and romanticism of Nagamasa's destiny perfectly. Thank you very much for sharing.
Nagamasa was damned if he did, damned if he didn’t regardless of his choice. But he stood his ground up until the end, Thats big pp energy
2:50 and 4:56 the way they’re composed together is just so incredible sounding.

This soundtrack is boss's greatest weapon. I missed so many attacks and wasted plenty of potions because i got distracted by the music.
2:49 is my favorite part of this track, all of it comes together so nicely.
I agree 100%, my favorite part too - that classy old school contemporary style melody, so haunting!
that is actually just the part where the video was cut and blended together to extend the song lol, not an artistic choice
Ikr this part just sounds so incredible ❤
Damn this music hits differently once you understand who Azai Nagasama was and how tragic his death was in real life.
I did this battle with friends, and we couldn't stop humming the music in the heat of the fight! Such a great piece!
one of the best boss themes in Nioh 2
No one:
Otakemaru : *"Hippytty Hoppytty your body is now my property."*
I would like this video twice if i could , this game was simply the best
Beautiful,make me cry
Great game i'm a big fan from nioh

Love his theme and design, one of the easier bosses though.
He was actually one of the harder bosses for me, though maybe that was a result of my build and/or playstyle.

I didn’t think he was terribly hard but also not the easiest when you think about it
True easy but fun is the best way to describe this boss.
Easy doesn't mean it's bad.

i lost this battle not by azai but his ost kill me
The fight can be challenging, but to be honest the only thing I focused on was the music
Seems Otakemaru stopped by and hit the video with it's first dislike lol.
Funny enough I actually like Kashin’s OST way more than ol’ king of the yokai’s lol
Honorable to the very end.
Reminds me so much of Soul Calibur.
Top Best boss and best theme in my opinion
I kept dying to this fight bc of the tears in my eyes...
I’ll remember u azai, I will protect your wife as much as possible, guys I want to ask! Does oichi come on herself lady chach? They have the same spirit as the fox's 9 tails
I have not finished the game yet. Please, if there is anything that will become clear to me in the game. Let me see it myself. You don't say anything.
Chacha (Yodogimi) is Oichi's daughter with Nagamasa Azai. Hideyoshi (Tokichiro) made Chacha one of his wives.
RIP AZAI
Damn this OST was one of the best. Say... your character looks pretty baller dude. Would you be willing to part with the code by chance?
Thank you. Sure.
