Enemies

Enemies are found in every stage and they will try to stop you from reaching the end of the game.

Aobozu

NS enemy Aobozu.png

These guys look like Yadokai but just blue. They charge up to shoot out three energy balls, going diagonally up, forward, and diagonally down. The hard part is you can't attack them while they are charging up, so you must attack while they are already attacking.

  • Points: 25

Aohannya

NS enemy Aohannya.png

These are the blue counterpart of Hannya. They come at you pretty slow, but watch out they are able to shoot out projectiles.

  • Points: 15
  • More Info: Hannya

Ashigaru

Hannya

Kiira

Mushi

  • Points: 10

Takenoko

NS enemy Takenoko.png

Yurei

NS enemy Yurei.png
