Through Oni Consume, you can use your Demon Hand to take in “Chimyaku,” a natural power that consists of the five elements, and gain nature powers. You can shoot out the power you take in, as well as apply it to your sword.
Through Oni Crush, you can pour the power of your Demon Hand into a variety of substances and completely abolish them.

In the defense style, you’ll attack with your big sword and defend with your shield for a balanced fight. Parry enemy attacks while letting out your own attacks and counterattack techniques. You can also store the energy of oni and unleash it as a super attack.
In the attack style, you’ll unleash a fury of continuous attacks with your dual swords. Since you have no defense, you’ll have high evasion techniques. Use this style to overwhelm the enemy with attacks.
