Line 7:
The first game is based on the Japanese story of Yoshitsune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo in their struggle against the Taira clan. In this version, the Taira conquered japan with the help of some magic stones called "Amahagane" (litt. Heavenly Steel) which grant great powers to their wielders. The young swordsman Yoshitsune finds out that he's the rightful heir of the Minamoto clan and with the help of the Amahagane, the Tamayoribito clan and Benkei he has to stop the villanous plans of the Taira and recover the Amahagane stones.
 
Had a [[Spiritual Successor]] in the form of ''[[Folklore (Video Game)|Folklore]]''.
 
Although it's quite a humble-seeming series, you may know the game better as its second installment being the one featured in Sony's infamous [[E3]] 2006 conference featuring [[Artistic License History|battles with giant crabs that took place in ancient Japan]].

=== Genji contains examples for: ===
 
* [[Action Command]]: when you use the Kamui power, you must press the Square button at the right time in order to one-shot/ damage the enemy before he hits you.
* [[Akio Ohtsuka]]: as Musashibo Benkei.
Line 27 ⟶ 25:
* [[Bad Powers, Bad People]]: [[The Dragon|Kagekiyo]] uses poison attacks
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]]: yet, also Yoshitsune and Benkei have at least one poison enchanted weapon in their inventory.
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: Benkei's second weapon of choice, they're stronger than the Clubs but they can't use the Charged Attack
** Also "The Mask" Moritoshi wields a large spear, and Kagekiyo can merge his two swords into one [[Double Weapon|pike]].
* [[Bald of Awesome]]: Benkei sports one.
Line 43 ⟶ 41:
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Yoshitsune and Kagekiyo.
* [[Elemental Crafting]]: the local blacksmith can make you powerful weapons if you bring him the right ingredients.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: only four, and usable by the enemies or by your weapons if they're enchanted. They also causes negatives status, including: [[Kill It Withwith Fire|Fire (set ablaze)]], [[Kill It Withwith Ice|Ice (freeze)]], [[Shock and Awe|Thunder (block your movements)]] and Poison ([[Captain Obvious|which, well, poisons)]].
* [[Every Japanese Sword Is a Katana]]: yes, Yoshitsune uses a lot of katana blades, but some of them have a totally different shape and a straight blade.
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: It doesn't matter if you mop the floor with Kagekiyo in the first chapter: after being bested he simply knock both Yoshi and Benkei down by ''drawing his second sword''.
