Minamoto no Yorimitsu Information

• Minamoto no Yorimitsu, often known as Raiko, is a military commander from the mid-Heian period. She is renowned for her valor, having slain countless yokai with a sword passed down through generations of the Minamoto clan. There are many legends that tell of her exploits with her most loyal retainers, the Four Guardians (Watanabe no Tsuna, Sakata no Kintoki, Usui Sadamitsu, and Urabe no Suetake), Such as their defeat of the yokai Shuten Doji and Tsuchigumo.
• Contrary to the generally accepted historical record, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was a woman. Her younger brother, who also went by the name Raiko, was active in the politics of the time, building his reputation on his sister's achievements. The legend of Minamoto no Yorimitsu that reaches us today in fact consists of the intertwined exploits of these siblings.
• In the midst of the burning capital, Yorimitsu utilizes the Nigitama stored in her box of Soul Cores to battle the encroaching fiends. Seeing the protagonist's horns, she assumes that the protagonist must also be a demon, and attacks them accordingly. The two warriors are equally matched, but during their fight, Yorimitsu catches siht of the protagonist's blade- the same yokai-slaying blade of her family. She grows even more suspicious of the protagonist's identify, but Kintoki interrupts their battle before she can learn more. She is told that she is needed at the Rashomon gate and heads there at once, leaving the protagonist for later.
• Yorimitsu and Kintoki hurry to Rashomon and battle Tsuchigumo valiantly, but when they end up trapped by its sticky web, the protagonist must finish the fight in their stead. After Tsuchigumo's defeat, Ashiya Doman reveals himself as the true mastermind behind recent events. Yorimitsu attempts to get the Nigitama from her box of Soul Cores to attack him, but Doman's dark magic transforms her Nigitama into violent Aratama. Just as the situation becomes precarious, Yorimitsu's ally, Abe no Seimei, valiantly, but when they end up trapped by its sticky web, the protagonist must finish the fight in their stead. After Tsuchigumo's defeat, Ashiya Doman reveals himself as the true mastermind behind recent events. Yorimitsu attempts to get the Nigitama into violent Aratama. Just as the situation becomes precarious, Yorimitsu's ally, Abe no Seimei, appears on the scene and exorcizes the evil yokai. When the dust has finally settled, Seimei entreats the protagonist to aid them in restoring peace to the capital. Yorimitsu finally acknowledges the protagonist as an ally.
• As the companions proceed to the inner court of the palace to find and eliminate Doman, they discover that a large mass of angry spirits are en route to Byodo-In, where ancient yokai lie dormant. Yormitsu and Seimei leave Doman to the protagonist and head to Byodo-In to stop the impending disaster.
• By the time the protagonist defeats Doman and arrives at Byodo-In, Yorimitsu has managed to complete the ritual to seal away Shuten Doji. As Yorimitsu slips into a deep slumber, she beseeches the protagonist to solve the mystery of the “young demon slayer”, as this will lead the protagonist to the root of all evil, it is not till many years later that she is disturbed, when Tokichiro breaks the seal that lies upon her.
• After Doman’s death, the protagonist comes to battle Yorimitsu’s departed Four Guardians. Yorimitsu also battles the protagonist again, but it ultimately defeated once more. Having borne full witness to the protagonist’s strength, she realizes that the protagonist might stand a chance of doing what she herself could not, and expresses hope about the future.
• Teapped within the depths of Yorimitsu’s soul, Shuten Doji attempts to weaken the seal that holds him captive. The protagonist aids Yorimitsu y traveling into her soul and silencing Shuten Doji at last. Free of any lingering regrets, Yorimitsu tells the protagonist she will live on in the protagonist’s blade and watch over them, before departing with Seimei for the afterlife.
