Knight in Shining Armor: He's the Japanese equivalent anyway, being both a kind and very honorable Samurai.Knighting: Mugen got this off-screen - the group's meeting with Masaru and Noboru to discuss strategy over handling Kage-sama's rebellion has Masaru mention Mugen used to be a peasant, ergo, Mugen proved himself such that he was elevated to being a samurai as he now is.Katanas Are Just Better: His katana is one of the few weapons capable taking out Samurai without requiring a shot from a matchlock pistol or Takuma's rifle first, the other being his Hand Cannon.From Nobody to Nightmare: Mugen was born a peasant, but rose through the ranks to become the Shogun's most trusted and fearsome warrior.After he's forced to give up the Shogun's son's location to Kage-sama and watched him be killed (with Ryūnosuke asking in hurt confusion why Mugen betrayed him with his final breath), he commits seppuku after his companions reunite with him. Heroic BSoD: From which he never recovers.Unlike the pistols, it pierces samurai armour, killing them outright instead of stunning them. Like everyone else's matchlock pistols, it grants him a limited-use ranged attack. Hand Cannon: A gift from Takuma when he rejoins the team.Dual Wielding: Whips out both his swords when he executes his Sword Wind technique.Driven to Suicide: Happens at the near-end of mission 10.Boisterous Bruiser: His Japanese voice is very loud and excitable, and it's clear he's having the time of his life while in the heat of battle.Blood Knight: While Mugen spends most of the game sneaking around, he has no problem with being in the center of the fray.Technically, his katana has the same characteristics as well, but this is more represented by his swordsmanship skills than by the sword itself. Armor-Piercing Attack: His Hand Cannon is the only firearm capable of killing samurai outright, as opposed to briefly stunning them.His large health pool and ability to lift two bodies at once are useful, but Mugen has no innate long-range abilities (though he gets a hand cannon in the mid-game), leaving him at the mercy of getting guards to come to him. Mugen is good at crowd control: he is excellent at taking out numerous guards at once, and his sake can take apart some tricky patrols. His color is reddish-orange, reflecting his nature as a Blood Knight and is the same colors as the Shogun's forces. A Blood Knight with a Hidden Heart of Gold and the skills to back up his rank. Voiced by: Toby Longworth (English), Naofumi Ichihashi (Japanese)Ī samurai loyal to the Shogun, and the second character to be introduced. Tranquil Fury: He spends the entirety of Mission 11 stewing in quiet rage because of Kage-sama's hand in Mugen's death.He can also toss it at cattle and oxen to cause them to kill enemies that stand too close with a kick. Throwing the Distraction: Hayato's way of distracting enemies is to toss a rock, which will briefly redirect their gaze in that direction.But after seeing Mugen commit seppuku, his lines change radically. The Stoic: Not much for small talk at all, preferring to stick with topics relevant to the assignment at hand.Part of the game's difficulty is you have to be careful with where you use your 1 shuriken, as it is noisier than the ninjato and the shuriken has to be retrieved after use. Hayato's full range of gear is a dark outfit, a ninjato, exactly 1 shuriken, and rocks from the environment. When paired up with Aiko, however, he's the red oni, since she has a better hold on her emotions and is a more meticulous planner. Red Oni, Blue Oni: Decidedly the Blue Oni to Yuki and Mugen's Red Onis.Until Mount Tsuru, when he witnesses Mugen's seppuku. Only in It for the Money: Hayato doesn't really care about anyone he meets throughout his journey, though he eventually warms up to his team.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he's in it for the money at first, he begins to care for his comrades and appreciates Yuki more over the course of the game.
