***********************************************************************************************
Samurai Battle Tip:
He loves to sidestep and he also loves confusing you by kicking you or grabbing you. His
attacks are swift, although he cannot do many combination attacks. The best method here is to
parry his attacks and then counter him with combination attacks or strong slashes.
***********************************************************************************************

you alone.

***********************************************************************************************
Samurai Battle Tip:

your health. Parry him if you are confident enough, and finish him quickly by using quick
combination attacks. After hurting him, the battle will be stopped by Yasuno.
***********************************************************************************************

A. Who the hell are you?

As soon as you arrive, Kyojiro starts wreaking havoc and charges towards the Kuroha. She
manages to just scratch him, and the other Police force arrives. You only have one
choice. Accept it and prepare to do battle with the Police force.

***********************************************************************************************
Festival Grounds Battle Tip:
The only real help you can count on is from Kyojiro. Your goons might get killed right
away. Better take care of the other common police before engaging any of the officials. The
environment is quite large, so use it to gain space if you are being pressured.

Muto:
Keep on parrying his attacks since it is easy to read, and then counter attack with either
strong slashes or combination attacks.

Kuroha:
He is quite fast, so be careful. Off balance him by kicking him, and then strike him with
combination attacks. If he blocks them, try to stop and then wait for him to attack. Parry and
then counter attack.
***********************************************************************************************

After killing Kuroha, a cutscene will play and then Hanzaemon will
arrive. Kasumi is hiding behind one of the stalls, and tries to assassinate Hanzaemon. You are
then given TWO choices:

A. Let me help!
B. Leave it to me...

gang celebrating, along with Yasuno and Nami. You leave them behind afterwards. Outside,

Yasuno stages a surprise attack on you, leading a group of police. Prepare for battle.

***********************************************************************************************
Yasuno Battle Tips:
He loves moving around, and he is very fast. His attacks also hit low, and they can knock you
down most of the time. He also has some men to help him out. Just move around and finish off
his men, and then concentrate on him. His attacks are quite hard to parry, so you should be
playing offensively against him. Use combination attacks if he is open.
***********************************************************************************************

After punishing Yasuno, you have TWO options:

A. You think I'll fall for that?
B. That could be interesting...

Choose A and you will fight Yasuno once more. Kill him this time. After Yasuno dies, you will
be inside your Empty House resting, when Kyojiro appears and challenges you to a fight to
the finish.

***********************************************************************************************
Kyojiro Battle Tips:
You start out in a very narrow alley. Run away first and find some space. Beware of her
combination attacks as these can really take a huge chunk out of your health meter. Parry her
if you can, and then use combination attacks on her. Midway through the battle, she will talk
again, and you will continue to fight until one is dead.

will show Hanzaemon ready for battle after kicking his own useless goons' buttocks.

There will be some more goons inside, but they aren't that active anymore. Hanzaemon is
very fast and strong. If you have a stab attack, use it because getting close to him is really
dangerous. Otherwise, just run away and wait until he is off guard, then attack him.
