So where did kensuyata come from? And who taught her all them ninja moves.

>>335037
Kensuyata is from Japan. She was initially self taught, watching ninjas train in secret, disguised as inanimate objects. Eventually she came forward and requested to be taught.

>>335040
So "her people" who were murdered were actually human?

>>335043
yes

Do the Demons have a leader?

>>335045
yes they do.

Part of the inspiration for this quest was me playing through Symphony of the Night for the first time, so parts of it are kind of based off old side scrolling vidya

>>335052
Yeah I noticed the platformer look, neat, but can we still go backwards?

>>335062
yeah, you can pretty much go anywhere the facility will permit. That is, anywhere there isn't a locked door or some other manner of obstruction you need to deal with (like a spinning fan blade or something). So back tracking is fully possible, and may be, in some situations, encouraged.

>>335072
How did that facility come to be anyway? Did it like just warp in over a city and spit out mooks to conduct vivisections on the people below like in Onimusha3 ? Cause that would be cool.

>>335081
No one knows where Onigashima came from. It appeared in the sky over Japan centuries ago and began deploying waves of demons to assault the world below. Then, one day, it simply vanished, leaving the demons behind to roam the world. It began reappearing in the skies over Japan, vomiting forth more monsters every 10 years.

Kensuyata said she wouldn't stand idly anymore and do something about Onigashima, but is she implying that there is no one else trying to fight this island? I imagine the people of Japan have an army ready to combat the waves that invade every ten years, and ten years is a lot of time to prepare, more so if they've already known of Onigashima's existence centuries ago. Does Kensuyata have allies amongst that force? Actually, it sounds to me like she is there against other people wishes. What is her master's take on her decision to take up this seemingly suicidal task and are there other students?

>>335129
Attempts have been made to siege the island in the past, but so far, none have succeeded. The military has attempted to destroy the island from the outside, but a mystic barrier seems to prevent their weapons from finding purchase. Additionally, Onigashima never seems to appear in the exact same place twice, showing up in different locations to drop it's payload, so it's difficult to position military forces in preparation of Onigashima's arrival.

The last time the island showed up, there was no attempt to destroy it, attention was mostly paid to culling the demons that spawned from it, and the demons that remained from the previous times it appeared. This is the reason Kensuyata says that she won't just sit idly by, and decides to launch a one tanuki infiltration of the island with the intent of destroying it.

So in what time period does this take place? Modern day, or are the Demons just really advanced for their day?

>>336035
it's a sort of weird modern day, sci-fi, fantasy hybrid monstrosity.

>>336036
Ooooh I love those.

Guys.
We've got to save Tobi this time around.

Since this was based off Symphony of the Night, can we expect upgrades or new abilities for existing characters?

>>340150
I had intended for some manner of upgrades being in store for the characters, yeah. Some of them might require backtracking/ exploring though, so take note of anything you might want a character to check back on later. (I have no intention slowly going through all the rooms you've been through already when backtracking, it would basically be QUICK TRAVEL unless there's something that's going to happen along the way.)

>>340151
Sounds good. Glad the story is back, I was looking forward to the continuation since part I finished some time ago. Also, regarding the two-character mechanic, will it be necessary in the future or is it a short-term thing?

>>340152
Character jumping is intended to be a common mechanic up until the characters are navigated to meet up. You can actually try and steer the characters to join up as fast as possible if you really don't want to have them walking around separately, though some of the areas on the island, as Manewis mentioned, might require someone in a different location to access.

>>340154
Oh, I prefer for them to be separated, at least for now. I believe Manewis mentioned that Kensuyata might be in danger if he doesn't check up on her. Can this be clarified? Ie, do we need to frequently/semi-frequently switch characters or only when we want to?

>>340155
You can jump between characters when ever you want to. Though the character not being controlled will move much slower while not being controlled, and will basically "auto-pilot" through encounters/ stealth sections which may use up items or lead to possible problems. The idea being that the character isn't just standing around with their finger in their nose the whole time the suggesters are running around with the other person. That's why I gave them the ability to give one another "orders" to carry out while /quest/ is away.

I realize only in retrospect that the suggestion to "check up on Kensuyata" earlier in the chapter was probably a suggestion to switch characters and I misinterpreted it. From now on, any updates taken from suggestions to check up on the other character will be met with a confirmation question such as "Switch Characters? Y/N" to make things clearer.

Kensuyata is now available on Patched Together to vote for. If she earns enough votes, then a figure will be made and available for purchase from the website.

Kensuyata started off as an independent and powerful female protagonist - and now she needs a guy to come along and save her.

I'm disappointed.

Hey man, all professionals need the loose-cannon, smooth operator, snarky back-up partner, policemen, Private Eyes, Presidents, Lawyers, Ambulance Drivers, and even Ninja's.

This back-up partner just happens to be a secret partner and a male.

I'm just hoping Lucid/questers don't pus for the first male character we meet into being a love intrest

I've always seen Kensu like the lone-wolf type. I don't think she needs a love interest, at least not for now.

>>344713
She's probably more for the girls as it is....

>>346332

no they don't

>>346328
for the record, she didn't NEED to be saved, Ryu just went and did it anyway without letting her have a say in the matter. She's just watching the show at this point :V

Oh fuck when I shorten Kensuyata it's Ken and now we got a Ken and Ryu in my post my mind is fucking blown.

Ok, since I am currently making preparations to resume updating Onigashima, due to the amount of time it has been, I feel a recap is in order.

Kensuyata is a young ninja who, ten years ago, was the sole survivor of her clan when the demons of the Island of Onigashima showed up and attacked. She has set out on a mission to the island, alone, to destroy it and avenge her clan. Her first encounter on the island was the DAY MANAGER of the WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. She promptly slew him and took his cellphone, which she soon began receiving helpful texts from a stranger on, and became able to transform into him. She encountered a mysterious voice on the other side of a window who asked for her help replacing a POWER CELL. She worked her way through the WAREHOUSE DISTRICT encountering Kintaro, the janitor. She battled and slew him, gaining his form, and gaining access to the POWER STATION where she returned power to the side of the building the mystery voice was trapped. She returned to help the voice who turned out to be Manewis , and Mark 4 Ninjutsu Operations Bionic Infiltrator.

Manewis had been trapped on the island for roughly 100 years after his team, MOMOTARO UNIT, fialed their mission and were wiped out in a heroic last stand leaving only him, with a damaged and depleted POWER CELL. Restored, he set out back into the island seeking to reunite with his partner KUNO-01. He stumbled across a series of poorly laid traps eventually finding himself accepting a dual with one of his predecessors, Musashi , a Sentient Armored Melee Unified Robotic Artificial Intelligence, one of two prototypes on which all NOBI units were based. He exploits a fatal flaw in her design resulting in her retreating, and he gains both her HEAT OAR weapon, and her MAGNA-GRAPPLE LAUNCHER. His LIMITER SCARF was damaged in the battle and can no longer be used. Without it, Manewis is incapable of pushing himself to his full potential without running the risk of catastrophically overheating.

Meanwhile, Kensuyata makes her way down to the WATER WORKS where she deals with a KAPPA , gaining the ability to turn into it, and eventually encountering Kojiro , Musashi's counterpart, and Ryu , an eccentric young ninja who convinces Kojiro to go away and wait for a proper duel on the roof, rather than try to kill them there. Ryu turns out to be the guy who was sending her the texts, and he upgrades her phone by giving her a spare smart phone he was carrying around. The two of them work their way past a cliff Kensuyata failed to get past on her own and made it to a large flood gate. Ryu did a thing, and the gate's guardian Akashita let them pass into the UNDERGROUND RIVER, working their way up toward the GARDEN DISTRICT, where Manewis had instructed her to meet up.

Manewis worked his way back from his duel and ascended into the upper levels of MANUFACTURING. He battled a spooky ghost and gained access to the ROOF, in his attempt to travel EAST on the island in the direction of KUNO-01's distress beacon. On the roof Manewis encounters Kojiro, awaiting his duel with Ryu and guarding a SUSANOO MISSILE PLATFORM which was armed with a KUSANAGI-TSURUGI MULTI-WARHEAD missile. Words are exchanged between the two robots, and Manewis continued on RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Upon breaking his way in through the first door, the wall shattered and a giant MECHA TENGU attacked. The course of the battle saw Manewis being blown out through the hole in the wall and continued on the outer hull of the Island's INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT. Its wing damaged, and unable to fly proper, the Tengu could only anchor itself to the wall using its FOOT CLEATS. Manewis took advantage of this limited mobility to swind down to a protruding door to try and break back into the island. As he was about to begin cutting through the door, it opened revealing a surprised Musashi on the other side.

Well, that doesn't look like it's going to pan out. I've somehow ended up with a huge backlog of things I owe people, despite not accepting commissions. So Onigashima's revival is going to have to be delayed as some those things have deadlines within the next month.

Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up again.

>>77678

We can wait until you're done with your backlog.
