Enemies and Bosses / Boss - Wish Warper
Rasho-gan Boss
A Genma skilled in deception. It busies itself with binding and severing fates at Yasui Konpiragu Shrine - in other words, severing limbs from the innocent to harvest materials. Both cunning and deadly, it uses the strange threads that issue from its body to launch sudden attacks from beyond sword's reach. It draws strength from nearby stone-flower towers through these threads, so cut them to deny the advantage they provide.

Battle priorities
| Threat | Response |
|---|---|
| Stone-flower towers | Cut the threads linking Rasho-gan to nearby towers before they can feed it power. |
| Long-range threads | Close the gap after severing a power link instead of trading attacks at thread range. |
Moves and counters
Attack patterns and practical responses for recognizing the enemy's punish windows.
| Move | Pattern | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Scissors rush combo | Rushes forward through a multi-part scissors sequence. | Do not counter the opening hit; wait for the finishing cut. |
| Snatch | Pulls Musashi into a grapple sequence. | Evade the initial catch; guard cannot replace spacing here. |
| Charge attack | Commits to a direct gap-closing strike. | Move off-line and punish the end of the charge. |
| Curse ball | Launches a ranged curse projectile. | Move laterally at release, then close before another setup. |
| Psychokinesis | Controls the arena from range, with a stronger variant in its action set. | Break line and advance after the effect resolves. |
| Air dash | Uses an airborne scissors approach with split follow-ups. | Track the split and wait for the landing before retaliating. |
