Ōkamiden: Difference between revisions

The game is on the [[Nintendo DS]]. Gameplay is very similar to the original game, with the Celestial Brush adapted to the DS's touchscreen. A new addition is partners, who fight alongside you in battle and can be controlled with the Guidance brush technique.

 

 

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Most of the characters have Japanese names. Then there's Charity, who is never mentioned to be foreign and looks like any other young Japanese woman in the game.

** Nanami uses her Wet and Dry Jewels as hair decorations after she retrieves them. They make her even more adorable, if that's possible.

** Kagu has floral-themed hair decs on and hanging from her bun. {{spoiler|After she becomes a Miko, she gains two giant gold bells with trailing ''[[Shide]]''. They're even cuter.}}

* [[Evil Knockoff]] / [[Mirror Boss]]: {{spoiler|For the climactic [[Final Boss]] battle, Akuro assumes a dark version of Chibiterasu -- complete with his own Celestial Brush, Divine Instrument, and Kuni as a partner!}}

* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Issun for the prologue, and whoever your partner is at the moment for the rest of the game.

* [[Feed It a Bomb]]: The Demon Nut enemy can be dispatched by using Bloom to open its mouth when stunned, then planting a Cherry Bomb in it.

* [[Finishing Move]]: If you use the proper brush technique on an enemy during its dying animation (with a possible additional technique ''during'' the battle), they'll drop Demon parts, which can be used to upgrade your weapons.

** Also, the 3-faced top enemy can be any one of these, as can the death beast.

* [[First Town]]: Yakushi Village, which can be grown through a sidequest to find more residents.

* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Being about a puppy and its E10 rating (As opposed to [[Okami]]'s T rating), the game seems like this at first. {{spoiler|It's the exact opposite, especially by the end.}}

** The game also inverts [[Hotter and Sexier]]. The best example is Sakuya: While she retains her massive bust, she is now wearing a full kimono with no hole cut out of the back to show off her butt cleavage.

* [[Long Haired Pretty Boy]]: Sugawara and Waka.

* [[Lost Forever]]: Several locations (and everything in them) become inaccessible after certain events in the story.

* [[Monster Sob Story]]: When Kagu finds out the story behind Sen and Ryo, she says she almost feels sorry for them.

* [[New Game Plus]]: Your money, maximum HP (and ink pots), and assorted Scrolls carry over to a new game. You can even unlock additional appearances for Chibi and an exclusive weapon.

* [[No Body Left Behind]]: As in the original game, defeated enemies turn into flowers. Presumably the justification is also the same.

* [[No Mouth]]: Every human and Poncle character and some of the monsters. It kinda explains why the "voice acting" [[Speaking Simlish|sounds like it does]].

** And at the very end of the credits, Chibi turns and play-bows to the screen. ''It's adorable,'' like pretty much [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|everything else he does.]]

* [[Panthera Awesome]]: Gekigami, the brush god of thunder - a ''huge'' tiger wielding a bow and lightning bolts. His kids, on the other hand, fall under [[Cute Kitten]].

* [[Personal Raincloud]]: A character's reaction to something that leaves them really nonplussed, like [[Running Gag|Chibi's many strange nicknames.]]

* [[Plot Tailored to The Party]]: Each area of the final dungeon is tailored to the abilities of the partner you have for that area.

* [[Stationary Boss]]: Mizuchi, the boss of the ice cavern (being partially encased in ice and all). Akuro's first form is as well.

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: Chibi's even worse at it than his mother - he can't even swim at all ([[Gameplay and Story Segregation|except in cutscenes]]).

* [[Suspiciously Cracked Wall]]: If you see a glowing, cracked wall, bomb the hell out of it.

* [[Swallowed Whole]]: {{spoiler|Kuni}}, by the Bullhead.

* [[Tron Lines]]: In the Ruins and on {{spoiler|Issun's flying saucer}}. This seems to be characteristic of Moon Tribe technology.

* [[Truly Single Parent]]: Not spelled out, but we can assume Amaterasu and the other brush gods don't need a partner to produce children.

* [[Turns Red]]: Almost all bosses change their behavior at least once as their HP total is worn down.

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: No one seems particularly interested by the white wolf puppy ridden by various children, some of which are pretty unusual in and of themselves. No one really seems to bat much of an eye when things mysteriously fix themselves, burst into fire, or split in half, either.

* [[Warp Whistle]]: Some of the game's [[Save Point|Save Points]] double as this after a certain point in the game.

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Akuro's most powerful attack in-battle (which [[That One Attack|also restores his HP]] if he successfully uses it).

* [[World-Healing Wave]]: Reviving a Guardian Sapling. Sadly, not done as often as in the first game, but still just as impressive.

* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Said almost verbatim by Kurow to Manpuku, although it's clear he's talking about his only destiny, not Manpuku's.

* [[You Can't Thwart Stage One]]
