Lore
Musashi releases his inner Oni
Oni Awakening becomes available when Musashi's Awakening Gauge is full and lasts until that gauge is empty. It grants unlimited Blazing, automatically absorbs souls, makes Issen attacks easier, and converts health damage into Awakening Gauge damage. The Oni Armament input performs a finishing skill that ends the state.
