yes and maybe Lechku & Nechku, I am thinking of Orochi but not sure for that, because it is killed like two times already xD

And my char. Three tail is not tecnical a boss, mostly like a mini boss, who works under the original boss (little bit like a deputy)

I thinked that one of the bosses could be a cerberus (Three headed devil dog) I don't remeber that there was any that kind of villain in the games....

I think Orochi is to high of a boss (He's a sub finale boss, since Yami is the finale boss) to be reborn. But, Lechku and Nechku can be reborn.

Ah, so Three Tail is a sub boss. Oh, and, since in mythology Nine tails get there nine tails once they are fully grown, and it show there wisdom, Three tail can have two stages when he is fought, the first one being him in regular from, and another where he is in a more powerfull from, with nine tails. Or he could start of powerfull and then get weaker, like his mother/father (Was Nine Tail's gender ever conformed in the game?) did. I don't know, it's just and idea. Other bosses can have diffrent stages, of course, that was just one idea I had in mind.

Well, Cerberus is a demon in Greek mythology, and this game covers Japanese(or some sort of asain) mythology. I don't think Cerberus would fit....
But, I do have a book on asain mythology, so I can look at that for some ideas. That, and we could just look around the internet.

Yes Three tail is sub boss and his age is something about young adult. He is hard opponent, with strong magical/ paint powers, but his impatience and " do first think then" method will be his down fall.

Or then there could be some rival, which show up time to time (like a pokemon games), this rival will be stronger and stronger any battle and end up to be something like sub boss or even boss.

Ermmm *peeks at post* Sorry to be a stickler for spelling and such, but it's Asian - you spelt it as asain. And well, it focuses on Japanese myths, and it's not considered 'some sort of Asian'. And the right japanese term for nine tails is Kitsune - Fox Spirit. By law, Kitsunes follow Inari's rules, but the nine tails in the game was rogue I believe? Usually, Kitsunes are girls/females, but I remember there being males floating around as well. And kitsunes get their tails either through age or through attainment of power. Generally 9-tails > 8-tails >7-tails etc. Hopefully I didn't come off as rude...? I'm just a little picky about spelling and that. If you need help let me know. Chinese and Japanese myths are quite similar, and I myself read up on them...

Soltra8: Ah, sorry! I forgot and it was, like, nine or ten when I posted (I think) so I wasn't really thinking straight. Sorry. I haven't read much about Japanese mythology, so I don't know much about it, but it would be nice if you could help us.

Pinkmadness: Huh, makes me think of Waka in the first game, who fought Ammy the first two times she meet him, but after that he just talked to her.
But, that is a good idea to have a boss that could come up more that once, and it would mean that the player would have that boss for a longer amount of time. But, then again, it would seem a bit unfair to the players, so we would have to do something to make it fair, like this enemy or boss comes up only once when the twins find a new place, and the fight takes a shorter amount of time than a boss fight, or something like that.

Yes! but I think the player who plays the bosses can choise do it want to the boss to die. If don't player can make other plots like make him run away or something like that. But bosses are usual killable ones, and that's why the players much to have more than one char. to play. their roleplay will just stop when the boss is killed.

Sorry about that, Lover, I hope i didn't come off as too rude then? But well, that would explain it XD Late at night I can't think straight either. But I guess I could help? I mean there's always internet... And it's been a while since I played Okami or Okamiden, meaning what I think may contradict the game's logic and flow.

Well yes there is internet, big help for almost anything lol. I am already looked some japanese/ chinese yokais, demons, evil creatures.... there is a lot to choise of xD

^^lll We don't call our demons yokai.... we have other names for them... Yaoguai. I believe that's the most common, but I guess that might just be for Singaporeans or my neighbourhood. Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese might have other names. Like Mo, Yaojing, Yaomo... There's also gui, but that's for ghosts.

Well I am learn yokai By looking some animes like Inuyasha xDD
