![]() Heroic BSoD: From which he never recovers.Unlike the pistols, it pierces samurai armour, killing them outright instead of stunning them. Like everyone else's matchlock pistols, it grants him a limited-use ranged attack. Hand Cannon: A gift from Takuma when he rejoins the team.Dual Wielding: Whips out both his swords when he executes his Sword Wind technique.Driven to Suicide: Happens at the near-end of mission 10.Boisterous Bruiser: His Japanese voice is very loud and excitable, and it's clear he's having the time of his life while in the heat of battle.Blood Knight: While Mugen spends most of the game sneaking around, he has no problem with being in the center of the fray.Technically, his katana has the same characteristics as well, but this is more represented by his swordsmanship skills than by the sword itself. Armor-Piercing Attack: His Hand Cannon is the only firearm capable of killing samurai outright, as opposed to briefly stunning them.His large health pool and ability to lift two bodies at once are useful, but Mugen has no innate long-range abilities (though he gets a hand cannon in the mid-game), leaving him at the mercy of getting guards to come to him. Mugen is good at crowd control: he is excellent at taking out numerous guards at once, and his sake can take apart some tricky patrols. His color is reddish-orange, reflecting his nature as a Blood Knight and is the same colors as the Shogun's forces. A Blood Knight with a Hidden Heart of Gold and the skills to back up his rank. Voiced by: Toby Longworth (English), Naofumi Ichihashi (Japanese)Ī samurai loyal to the Shogun, and the second character to be introduced. Tranquil Fury: He spends the entirety of Mission 11 stewing in quiet rage because of Kage-sama's hand in Mugen's death.He can also toss it at cattle and oxen to cause them to kill enemies that stand too close with a kick. Throwing the Distraction: Hayato's way of distracting enemies is to toss a rock, which will briefly redirect their gaze in that direction.But after seeing Mugen commit seppuku, his lines change radically. The Stoic: Not much for small talk at all, preferring to stick with topics relevant to the assignment at hand.Part of the game's difficulty is you have to be careful with where you use your 1 shuriken, as it is noisier than the ninjato note the noise comes from the dying enemy, not the weapon itself and the shuriken has to be retrieved after use. Hayato's full range of gear is a dark outfit, a ninjato, exactly 1 shuriken, and rocks from the environment. When paired up with Aiko, however, he's the red oni, since she has a better hold on her emotions and is a more meticulous planner. Red Oni, Blue Oni: Decidedly the Blue Oni to Yuki and Mugen's Red Onis.Until Mount Tsuru, when he witnesses Mugen's seppuku. Only in It for the Money: Hayato doesn't really care about anyone he meets throughout his journey, though he eventually warms up to his team.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he's in it for the money at first, he begins to care for his comrades and appreciates Yuki more over the course of the game.It only gets worse after Mugen commits seppuku. Knight in Sour Armor: He already starts out emotionally restrained as he's the last of his clan.It Has Been an Honor: Delivers this to Mugen just before the latter takes his own life at Mount Tsuru for failing to keep the Shogun's son safe.Highly-Visible Ninja: To the player, perhaps, but not to anyone else.He, Yuki and Aiko are capable of jumping off buildings and ledges, with the option of landing a jumping attack on someone if needed. Fragile Speedster: He's only fragile insofar as, except for Mugen, on Normal difficulty he and everyone else has 4 HP.Subverted when Mugen ends his own life, thrusting the mantle of The Protagonist back onto Hayato. ![]() Decoy Protagonist: While we begin the game as Hayato, Mugen is the one who drives most of the plot and leads the group.Color-Coded for Your Convenience: His actual model color is grey-looking, but his associated color is blue.Boring, but Practical: Compared to the other characters' more flashy and elaborate diversionary skills, his ability to divert enemy attention away by throwing stones feels awfully mundane.He lacks any kind of major distraction however-he can't draw a guard's attention for long, and he's only good for taking out one guard at a time. His Shuriken is also a useful alternative to matchlock pistols (available from the mid-game), as it has more range and only produces noise around the target. Hayato is good at infiltrating: he's excellent at getting in and out of areas and creating distractions to allow himself to slip by. His color is blue, reflecting his nature as The Stoic. Hayato is a no-nonsense professional mercenary who's initially only in the story for the paycheck. The lead protagonist and classical ninja of the party.
