Characters / Warrior monk and boss
Benkei
A warrior monk famed for his superhuman strength who was once Yoshitsune's most trusted retainer, but has been brought back by Dokyo as a mindless Genma. One false move, and he's liable to flatten you. And if you can't shatter his armor, you won't be able to so much as scratch him.
