Onimusha Makes You WANT to Be Attacked

Onimusha: Way of the Sword captures what I love about defensive duelling: reading your opponent, holding your nerve, and landing the perfect counter. In this video essay, I explore how blocking, parrying, deflecting, dodging, and Issen make defence feel so satisfying—and why one well-timed response can mean more to me than a hundred-hit combo. Along the way, I touch on Sekiro and Devil May Cry, and what makes Onimusha’s approach to swordplay so compelling. Do you prefer building elaborate combos or waiting for the perfect counter? Let me know in the comments. #Onimusha #OnimushaWayOfTheSword #VideoEssay
