Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny

Inspiration

This game bears only too many similarities with the renowned animé classic, Ninja Scroll, which will not go unnoticed by someone who watched the movie: * In both, the main character is called Jubei and he's fighting against the demons for the greater good. * Jubei ends up with a reluctant female companion that eventually falls in love with him but due to constraints cannot be with him. * In the movie, there is a foe who thinks of himself as the greatest swordsman and even saves Jubei to have a fair fight with him. In the game, there is a demon who constantly refers to himself as the greatest swordsman among all demons, and unlike all other enemies, he's the only one that always fights fair, plus they both say almost the same sentence after being defeated, like in far disbelief. * Furthermore, the main nemesis in the movie was human but is now the boss of those demons Jubei fights, while in the game, main nemesis was also once human but is now the king of demons.
