Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[
* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: The Dogu that you meet the first time in the past just before fighting Orochi, could qualify. They are very resilient, have some fast and varied attacks, and can do quite a bit of damage when you're not used to them. Of course they are even worse in the Ten Demonic Gates sidequest.
* [[Complete Monster]]:
** His boss Yami may be this, given that he is the essence of all evil and is responsible for {{spoiler|the extinction of the celestials}}.
**
* [[Crossover Ship]]: Amaterasu/[[Twilight Princess|Wolf Link]] is a surprisingly common pairing on deviantART and ff.net.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Most of the soundtrack. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yKG-Qu4WvM Shinshuu Plains]" is particularly notable, as are "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09FEJXihD9I Kamiki Festival]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9Rs3q2hApU&fmt=18 Ryoshima Coast]", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkLC0kX8FSI Shachimaru/Orca's Theme]".
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RmldFiyvvo&fmt=18 Reset ~ Thank You Version]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3yxTbkh5s The Sun Rises]" deserve special mention, since they play during the game's greatest [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], respectively.
*** "The Sun Rises" is also the theme of Yami in ''[[
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlA8tvScZ6M Demon Lord Ninetail's Extermination]" One of the most exciting boss theme's for the most action packed boss battle of the game
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5lYkbWdiSY Kushi's Ride]" is comparable to ''[[The Legend of Zelda|Twilight Princess's]]'' "Midna's Lament". Both songs are played during urgent events, but while the latter is a melancholy solo piano arrangement of a character's theme, the other is more orchestrated and bass heavy.
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D566niVB0lQ Kamui of the Northern Lands]"
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPpOMxVyaIA Okami White Light]" is awesome, in the sense that it inspires awe.
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfczAmFIsTE Theme of the Celestials]" is so beautiful it brings a tear to the eye.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Issun's {{spoiler|speech at the end of the game.}}
* [[Designated Villain]]: Tobi's [[Boss Subtitles]] call him an "Evil Being". He never does anything evil. Ever. In fact, he's very polite. It seems to be a deliberate example though, as Ammy and Issun take a liking to him and {{spoiler|are sad when he dies}}.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Ninetails has quite a fan-base, and a lot of people like him because of his [[Chessmaster]] characterization, the fact that he is a Kitsune, and the fact that he is [[Evil Is Cool|a very cool villain.]]
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Oki, for being a [[Badass]], ''and'' a [[Big Badass Wolf]]. Tobi is probably the most popular ''piece of paper'' you'll ever find. Susano gets this too due to his character development through the first third of the game.
** Among the bosses, Lechku and Nechku get this for their unique design (Clockwork owls, anyone?), bizarre yet awesome boss theme, and their equally fantastic boss fight which involves you teaming up with Oki to bring them both down.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: {{spoiler|Rao... or at least Ninetails pretending to be Rao.}}
* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: People really like pairing Kai up with Oki.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Vengeance Slips render Amaterasu invulnerable to any combat damage, and they last a while too. Add this to that you can buy them at a price that's oddly low by the end of the game and you can hold 99 of them, and nothing can touch you.
** The Thief's Glove Item allows you to use Issun as a weapon,
** The String of Beads makes the game almost too easy, but you ''really'' have to [[Earn Your Fun]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Fish get really bad treatment in this game, being food and the objective of a mini game, as it turns out,
** Wouldn't that actually be a [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]?
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: A lot of fan works, especially videos, seem to assume the lead character's name is "Ōkami." To be fair, it is ''part'' of her name (the caption when she's introduced reads "Okami Amaterasu"). It's just that Amaterasu is the most important part of the name.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
** As noted under [[Punny Name]], Ōkami can also mean "great god," rendering it as "Great god Amaterasu."
* [[Les Yay]]: Sakuya showers Ammy with hearts and praise, and Ammy starts panting heavily when she sees Sakuya's [[Stripperific]] powered up form.
** She's also quite fascinated by Rao's cleavage
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Ammy is paired up far more than a non-talking wolf should be... Waka is at least a legit exception since he was with Ammy when she walked the earth as a god.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Ninetails. As arrogant and smug as he is, he would have been completely successful had Queen Otohime not intervened at the last possible second.
* [[Magnum Opus]]: For [[Clover Studios]] (When with Capcom).
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The sparrows in Sasa Sanctuary:
{{quote|
Uh-oh!
The boss is... delighted! }}
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
** {{spoiler|Yami also crossed this long ago as well when he slaughtered all the Celestials, pretty much driving them to extinction.}}
* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: The little chord of the Celestial Brush can be very comforting, especially in stressful areas.
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
** {{spoiler|Seeing your past self on its last legs, fighting along side you to protect a future and using the last of its energy, is a fairly big [[Tear Jerker]] as well.}}
* [[Porting Disaster]]: Averted with the Wii port, though a couple things were lost in transition (as Clover Studios no longer existed at the time).
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Considering all the awesome powers {{spoiler|your past self Shiranui}} demonstrated, you'd think that you'd also get to use them when your {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|Eleventh Hour Superpowers]] activate during the final phase of the final boss}}, but nope, all you get is a fancy glow.
* [[Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer]]: And how!
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: The game is approximately as subtle as a shotgun in the way it presents its lessons, but they're lessons that need learning. Two of the biggest ones are that people shouldn't be selfish with their prayers, and they also shouldn't rely on the gods to fix everything for them. You can usually count on Issun to deliver one of these.
* [[Sugar Bowl]]: Once you erase major threats, Nippon is a near utopia where everyone is nice, life is slow, simple and peaceful, kings are generous and benevolent, landscapes are heavenly and preserved, war and misery do not exist, and the most dangerous people you will meet are [[Bratty Half-Pint|Bratty Half Pints]], [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Jerks With A Heart Of Gold]] and [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Kaguya {{spoiler|going back to her true home}}.
** The Gale Shrine ghost
** Even Tobi gets one when he dies, despite literally being a scrap of paper. At least you have something to blow your nose on.
* [[That One Boss]]: Okikurumi, despite not even being an enemy, let alone an important boss, is surprisingly hard the first time you fight him. Especially when he starts using his ice clones. Even more surpriing since you meet him not long after defeating Kyūbi and make your first steps in the northern region. Talk about a welcome!
** Blight as well, his attacks are quick and hard hitting, and his weakness isn't readily apparent at first. If you haven't gotten the hang of your time-stopping powers yet, he puts up one hell of a fight.
* [[That One Sidequest]]: Blockhead Grande & Black Devil Gates.
Line 72 ⟶ 73:
*** Hell, every sidequest that involves pushing a ball. That kid in Uepekere never seems to find the snowball big enough…
** Trying to draw the shapes for Mr. Chic. You spend literally dozens of tries getting it to accept the right shape, but then it accepts something that looks just like the others. Aaaaaaaaaaugh.
* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: Any time you revive a Guardian Sapling, it releases a flurry of foliage, and everything [[The Corruption]] has tainted springs alive again, capping it off with a [[Scenery Porn|wide shot of the purified area]]. It's quite a sight to behold, be it on [[
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]/[[Metroidvania]]: With the inconceivable number of sidequests and secret items, the enormous size of the map and the freedom of movement, the only thing that stands between the game and a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] is the fact that the main plot is just as huge and that you have to unlock access to most areas with power-ups first. But it's quite too big to be a mere [[Metroidvania]]. So it would be somewhere between these two…
* [[The Woobie]]: Waka, once you learn his backstory.
Line 79 ⟶ 80:
** According to Issun, tickling the "thing that hangs inside the mouth" ([[Insistent Terminology|the uvula]]) will make you sneeze. [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot|That's not quite what happens]] [[Don't Try This At Home|in real life]]… of course, seeing Ammy and Issun coming out of the Emperor covered in ''that'' would have been a bit out of place in a [[Sugar Bowl]] universe.
