 A Distant Dream

Mission Start Text

"I can feel it, an evil energy that grows without cease. I am afraid we are almost out of time. I am in no condition to fight - you must go alone, young one. You must face Otakemaru. It is he who stands in the way of human and yokai coexisting in peace. You must cut him down, and save this land from his cruel tyranny."

Mission End Text

"The Sohayamaru seems to be losing its luster now its purpose has been fulfilled. As its light fades, I hear the faint voice of Suzuka...

"You have slayed the fiend, young one. You will forever be remembered as the champion who saved this nation, and as the origin of the samurai ideal. Perhaps we will meet again someday...should the flow of time permit it."

Having taken up the Sohayamaru and realized my destiny, my long journey had finally come to an end. "
