BOSS FILE
Ifuu and Burai boss guide
Trailer-backed boss information and a spoiler-aware preparation page.
01Trailer 6 versus the demo
PlayStation’s 25 August post and Famitsu’s gamescom piece agree on the facts that matter: a new trailer, sibling Genma, demo expansion the same week. Official social copy for the Refuge names Ifuu and Burai among the new faces on the path to Daidara. Trailer 6 (IGN’s gamescom upload is embedded below) is the joint spectacle — two bodies, a finale cadence, and Musashi’s Oni Awakening in the same minute. Onimusha: Way of the Sword — Official The Challenges That Await Trailer Do not expect the demo versions to be the trailer versions. Capcom has used this trick before: a named enemy in a free file, a bigger kit in the campaign. Clear the Refuge for the charm. Watch the trailer for the fantasy. Write a real two-boss guide after someone publishes a public health bar.
02How to think about a sibling fight
Two targets is a Chain Issen problem if they are fodder, and a camera problem if they are not. The demo already taught you that Chain Issen does not work on Ganryu. If Ifuu and Burai are real bosses, Chain is the wrong first idea; you pick one body and you make the other a Deflect problem. That sentence is theory. The Issen guide is still the drill. Oni Awakening appearing in the same trailer does not mean you must transform to win. It means Capcom wants that image next to these two. Until an options menu exists, practise the human kit: parry, deflect, one Issen on one swing.
03Where they sit on this wiki
Refuge path: Oni Refuge. Closer of that path: Daidara, not these two. Campaign spectacle: this page and Oni Awakening. Hub: all bosses. If a thumbnail says “final boss Ifuu” before September, it is a thumbnail.
