Byakue百穢
A giant Genma covered from head to toe in talismans that likes to charge around the battlefield with its enormous axe. As its body becomes stained with the blood of its victims, it gains an unholy strength—a strength that makes fighting it a serious challenge, even for an Onimusha. And as if that wasn't bad enough, while Blazing, it will become even stronger, and emit clouds of Malice to boot. The safest strategy is to try and deal with its attacks deftly enough that it doesn't get the chance.

Every move in this enemy's own action set, with the answer the game defines for it. A move that can be parried opens a window on the frame given; one that can only be blocked does not.

全身が白い札に覆われている巨大な幻魔。 荒々しく暴れまわり、巨大な斧を振り回す。 戦いで浴びた血で体が染まり、 自らの肉体が強化される。 血に染まりきった百穢は鬼武者といえど 対峙すればただではすまない。 気焔状態では斧から瘴気を放ち、 百穢の脅威がさらに増す。 苛烈な攻撃を上手く捌いて、 瘴気の生成を防ぐと良いだろう。
