Arrow Deflection is the precisely timed sword-swing defence Musashi uses against incoming arrows in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. A held block stops an arrow, a timed parry slices it midair, and a deflect sends it back at the archer.
Enemies in Onimusha: Way of the Sword drop three colours of souls that the Oni Gauntlet absorbs from fallen foes. Yellow souls restore Musashi's health, red souls are currency for upgrades, and blue souls fill the Oni Power Gauge to activate the Oni Armaments.
The Oni Power Gauge is the dedicated meter that powers Musashi's Oni Armaments. It fills from blue souls absorbed by the Oni Gauntlet and drains in fixed chunks per armament use.
Oni Vision is a perception ability granted by the Oni Gauntlet. It reveals hidden Genma, threads of Malice, and spiritual seals across corrupted areas of Kyoto, doubling as a combat-readiness and exploration tool.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword uses reactive third-person sword combat with a four-tier parry toolkit, stance-switching katana moveset, dodge-triggered buffs, and the Break Issen execution.
The Posture System in Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a shared stamina mechanic that governs guards, parries, and the lead-up to Break Issen. Capcom describes the Stamina Gauge as the connection between a character's soul and body; draining it causes loss of balance and opens the window for an execution.
Break Issen's boss-fight variant pauses the fight into a short decision sequence where Musashi picks a specific body part to strike. Red zones deal bonus damage, purple zones yield extra souls, and each limb plays its own animation.
Ono no Takamura's training ground, where Drills and Boss Rematches let a player practice skills and refight past bosses.

The transformed state Musashi enters upon awakening the full extent of his Oni Powers, including the Onimusha Onslaught technique.
Two Celestials is the first named Oni Armament revealed in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. It is a pair of twin daggers tied to Musashi's lore, activated through the Oni Gauntlet's blue soul gauge.
The Oni Gauntlet is the sentient demon-forged relic bonded to Musashi. It absorbs souls of defeated Genma, powers Oni Armaments, grants Oni Vision, and houses Lady Oni, who guides his steps through a corrupted Kyoto.
