You have any background information on him? Or is he just a made up character, much like Xing Cai for instance.

Yoshitsune Minamoto is another samurai from the Heian period, about 300 years before SW's sengoku period, the same era Kiyomori Taira is from. The Minamoto clan are rivals/enemies of the Taira clan. Yoshitsune Minamoto is a very popular character in myth and lore and is no surprise to be added to WO2 with Taira appearing.

I wonder if Yoshitsune's loyal "sidekick" Musashibō Benkei Saito will be added next. Benkei has been in nearly every adaptation/depiction Minamoto has been in...

I'm still waiting on getting Taigong Wang and Kiyomori Taira PNGs as well! I suspect when the possibly final new character is revealed next or two weeks from now, there will be a press release with the PNGs in it. Or else, I've got to wait for a clear pic of them to cut out from. So far these scans are just too muddy...

re: Characters

Thanks, SXH. Wow, yet another deity. How many gods are there so far? Let's see...Fu Xi, Nu Wa, Taigong Wang, Taira Kiyomori, Orochi and now Yoshitsune Minamoto. Its Susanoo...I hope. But who's to say that will be the final new character? For all we know, there could be more, like Koei said. "90 or more in total".

re: Characters

Actually Yoshitsune Minamoto and Kiyomori Taira are the most mortal of the list. They actually existed historically.

Taigong Wang (Jiang Ziya) is semi-mythical, as in he may or may not have existed historically.

And of course, Orochi, Nu Wa, Fu Xi, and Da Ji are myths.

Your hopes of Susanoo are the most logical if you go through the list and pair up friend and foe from their respective times and stories:

Taigong Wang vs. Da Ji
Yoshitsune Minamoto vs. Kiyomori Taira
Susanoo vs. Orochi

Orochi needs his rival, Susanoo to make things symmetrical.

Then again, it is "90 or more" so there could be another villain pair to go up against Fu Xi and Nu Wa....

re: Characters

What I'm wondering is whether Taira had any notable allies/sidekicks who could possibly be added. I mean, excluding the whole laser thing, Yoshitsune is, IMO, the greatest addition revealed so far (actually, probably tied with the updated Fu and Nu) but it'll seem weird playing with him and not having Benkei around (especially after my only experiences and knowledge with and of Yoshitsune have always had Benkei right there beside him, in video games, movies and history) but I can't see Benkei being added without another ally of Taira (or, at least, another enemy of Yoshitsune)

I'm 99% certain Susanoo will be in (and, I don't know why, but I can see him having a rough ragged Samurai appearance, like Mitsurugi from Soul Calibur) but this would obviously take up space for other characters, thus reducing the chance of Benkei's addition

I think that will make it interesting, how they will incorporate the myth/ legend of his character in without making to many assumptions.
It's interesting having the mix of Deity's , legends, myths and historically based characters, the more elements the better.

re: Characters

Cross your fingers, Susano supporters, there is an 80% chance the Famitsu issue of tomorrow will feature another new character, possibly the last. The "last character" part is a maybe (some predict 2 to 3 more), but according to previous patterns, #90 should show up.

He or she (there is a high chance Koei will add another female to the roster) will originate from one of the five wells of current source material:

  • Chinese lore
  • Japanese myth
  • Three Kingdoms Era (3rd century China)
  • Heian Period (794-1185 Japan)
  • Sengoku Period (15th-16th century Japan)

Three Kingdoms and Sengoku Period are highly unlikely. A new character from there is something best in DW7 or SW3.

For the Heian Period, we already got Yoshitsune Minamoto and Kiyomori Taira. Possible others: Benkei Musashibo (Yoshitsune's best friend/sidekick), Lady Shizuka (Priestess of the Tamayori), Yoritomo Minamoto (Yoshitsune's big brother and Minamoto clan leader), Kiichi Hogen (Tayamori clan leader), Kagekiyo Taira (related to Kiyomori)

Then from the Japanese Orochi myth: Susanoo (slayer of Orochi), Lady Kushiinada (Susanoo's wife), Amaterasu (Sun Goddess, sister of Susanoo), Tsukuyomi (Moon God, brother of Susanoo)

Place your bets!

Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi would be an excellent compliment to Nu Wa and Fu Xi. A Japanese god siblings pair to match the Chinese god siblings pair.

re: Characters

We can now add "Journey to the West" to the list above since Sun Wukong has been added. Speaking of additions...

Upcoming new character:



Who could it be?

nopes... NPCs

...

SadXuHuang.

I believe thats Susanoo, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

Susanoo'll probably have Amaterasu (son goddes) and Tsukuyomi (moon god) floating around him.

I hope Tsukuyomi is a bunny with a hammer

Though... It could be Sasuke from Naruto...

I looks like a young boy, or a ladeh. Young boy *fingers crossed*

It looks like turtles to me or my second guess will be some living creature that can expand or something like that, but most likely it is the turtle king since they added the monkey king

Yeah. And if you look at the "mystic" pic, it clearly looks like he has a turtle shell on his back
