This couple works because it’s been said that when Samanosuke turned 20 he decided to see the world, traveling to Asia (as seen in Onimusha: Warlords). As he traveled over Japan and the Far East, he came across a female ninja named Kaede, who was a member of the Iga ninja clan. Originally, she was sent to assassinate Samanosuke for reasons unknown, but she did not kill Samanosuke for reasons that were also unknown, but she decided to join him on his travels as his loyal partner and confidant. Over the next 4 to 5 years (Samanosuke was 24 in Oni 1) they both develop a partnership, a friendship, trust, honor, respect and of course deep feelings. When Samanosuke disappeared Kaede spent the next 12 years looking for him until she found him (As seen is Onimusha Blade Warriors).
Mistake Made In The Game
They say that Kaede died 14 years later after Oni 1. Oni 1 takes place in 1561 but 14 years from 1561 would have been in the year 1575 at the Battle of Yamazaki?… but you see the Battle of Yamazaki didn’t happen until the year 1582, the same year that Oni 3 takes place. Well as you see, that was a mistake made by the people who made the game. Also at the end of Oni 1 it's said that Samanosuke was never seen again... well we all know that was changed since he came back in Oni 3.
Story
Some people have said that Onimusha Blade Warriors is not part of the Oni story… but it is… as a side story. It has to be because you see Oni: Blade Warriors explains where Samanosuke was after the events in Oni 1. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. To anyone who has played the Oni games like Onimusha: Warlords and wants to know what happen to Samanosuke and Kaede, Onimusha Blade Warriors will give you that answer.
In Onimusha: Blade Warriors Samanosuke says that he hid himself away from everyone. After Samanosuke destroyed Fortinbras he couldn’t remember what had happen to him when he woke up and saw Nobunaga looking down at him. He saw that Fortinbras had been killed… but not by human hands. He then feared that if he was in his full Oni form again that he wouldn’t be able to control himself if he started hurting the people he loved, manly Kaede. Samanosuke went away for 12 years until Kaede found him. Samanosuke had heard that Marcellus was once an Onimusha warrior during the Oni wars and that Guildenstern took Marcellus’s dead body and turned him into what he is. Samanosuke feared that if he didn’t find a way to understand the Oni powers inside of him then he could have become what Marcellus was. But during those years Samanosuke was able to understand and master the powers of his Oni gauntlet.
Samanosuke/Kaede
To anyone who has played the games… if you think about it Kaede was really the only person who was very close in Samanosuke’s life. He left because he would not be able to forgive himself if he had hurt or had killed her. He went away because he wanted to protect her. A sort of sacrifice you could say, and that’s really what real Love is. Sacrifice. Upon his return somewhere in 1573 (months if not almost a year after the events in Onimusha 2) Samanosuke and Kaede return to assist his uncle, Akechi Mitsuhide, in an absolute secrecy. For the next 8 or 9 years Samanosuke and Kaede travel all over Japan, slaying Genma wherever they may find them.
Kaede
The character Kaede was a very interesting female character… but her past isn’t one that we know that well or one that we will ever know. Kaede was killed off in Oni 3 although we do not see it or even hear about it in the game at all.
Before Oni 3 came out there was an interview with Keiji Inafune who’s the Producer of Onimusha 1, Onimusha 2 and the Executive Producer of Onimusha BW, Onimusha 3 and Onimusha DoD that said that Blade Warriors is part of the storyline and that Kaede was killed by Garaganto.

GMR: Are there any crossovers from the previous games?
Keiji Inafune: Kaede is actually dead by the time Onimusha 3 begins, killed by the character you saw in the opening movie. If you want more information on her, that's in Blade Warriors. A lot of the background story is revealed in that game, especially what happens between 2 and 3.
We don’t know how or why Kaede ended up fighting Garaganto.
We also don’t know the reasons why Kaede didn’t kill Samanosuke.
Was it something he did or said that changed her mind?
Did Kaede see that Samanosuke was a good man?
If so… then how did she see that?
Since Kaede didn’t kill Samanosuke did the Iga clan try to kill her for doing so?
If so did Samanosuke risk his life to save her and kill the Iga Ninjas from killing her?
If so or if not maybe Kaede no longer had a Ninja clan to go too or couldn’t go back to them.
Did Samanosuke see this and then wanted her to join him as his Ninja partner?
Was that something that Kaede was forever grateful for?
Something she saw that she could never repay Samanosuke for?
That may explain why Kaede was so devoted to Samanosuke and why she spent 12 years looking for him when he disappeared.
But like I said…we will never know…
A Samanosuke/Kaede fanfic I did

A Note From The Artist: There’s something I have say… I put a link to this picture at a message board website at www.neoseeker.com. But there was some dumbass nutcase at that website who goes by the username "Shadow Rue" on the Onimusha Warlord forms that thought that this picture was a Japanese porn pic……… and he reported it……… and it got taken off……… can you believe that shit?!?!?!?!?! Who knows what the fuck that person’s problem was. Looking at the FAQ to this fanart website on the rules about such pictures… if this was a Japanese porn picture it wouldn’t even be allowed here. |
