'''The Yokai''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Fujibayashi Naoe]] and [[Yasuke]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived through the [[Animus|Animus EGO]].<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''</ref>

==Description==
Naoe and Yasuke meets a former [[Scholar|monk]]-turned hunter hired to investigate the yokai.

==Dialogue==
<!--
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Even as a child I never believed in ghost stories. People do much worse things than we can even imagine.''
[]
*'''Mamushi:''' ''I have heard all the stories. I investigated each and every one. And always, there is a logical explanation.''
[]
*'''Mamushi:''' ''I am old and tired. You are young and strong. I give the last of these rumors to you. Prove to yourself, and everyone else, there are no yokai!''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I am no Yokai hunter, but if I come across any in my travels, you will be the first to know.''
*'''Mamushi:''' ''Come back when all the rumors of yokai are dead.''

Taka Nyudo
[]
*'''Taka Nyudo:''' (growls)
*'''Chitose:''' ''Help!''
[]
*'''Chitose:''' ''Thank you. He was a monster. He had fire in his eyes.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Our eyes can play tricks when we fear for our lives.''
*'''Chitose:''' ''Fear opens eyes wide to see death up close.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Do you have somewhere safe to go?''
*'''Chitose:''' ''I've been following the wind, you see. It carries a name on its back. Mamushi...''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Mamushi. I've been helping him disprove some myths.''
*'''Chitose:''' ''Fear surrounds him. Many tales of ghosts and demons. I have a tale of my own to tell him. Thank you for your kindness.''

Oshiroi Baba
[]
*'''Oshiroi Baba:''' [wails]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That did not sound... human.''
[]
*'''Oshiroi Baba:''' [wails] ''Ichiro-o-o! You are dead... and now I am alone...''
[]
*'''Oshiroi Baba:''' [screams]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Oshiroi Baba! I know nothing of Ichiro. I do not want to hurt you.''
*'''Obaba:''' (laughs) ''What did you call me? Oshiroi Baba? I am no yokai, you fool!''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I do not think so. But everyone in the village does.''
*'''Obaba:''' ''Idiots! But now I see you clearly. You are not my husband's killer. He was much smaller.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Well, you're scaring the villagers. Go home and get some rest. Drink some tea.''
*'''Obaba:''' ''You are kind. I'm sorry I attacked you.''

Yuki Onna
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Yuki-Onna, the snow woman. They say to kiss her icy lips is to know love one moment, and death the next.''
[]
*'''Woman:''' ''A visitor? You must be cold. Join me inside. Let me warm you.''
[]
*'''Yuki Onna:''' ''I don't want to fight. Come, have some tea instead.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''She was beautiful, but her heart was made of ice.''

Suika no Bakemono
[]
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''Do not interfere, stranger. The fate of our melon harvest is about to be decided.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That depends on the sky and not the sword, does it not?''
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''For generations the Suika family has waged battle with the Makuwauri melon clan. And for generations the harvest of the champion has prospered.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Both harvests cannot be prosperous?''
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''Insanity! Which is your favorite? The delicious suika, or the mediocre makuwauri?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I enjoy the suika more. They are crisp and refreshing.''
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''A very wise choice. And now, prepare to defend them with your life!''
[]
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''You fought well! The title of "Melon Lord" goes to the suika!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Definitely no yokai here. Just two farmers with a fiery passion for... melons.''

Kappa


*'''Kappa Taku:''' (growls) ''Shirikodama! Hungry!''
*'''Kappa Rei:''' (growls) ''Closer! We are going to eat...''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''They look like Kappa. And they definitely smell like Kappa.''
*'''Kappa Taku:''' ''You'll never catch us. You're too slow and fat!''
*'''Kappa Rei:''' ''And when you get tired and fall, we're going to eat you for dinner.''
[]
*'''Girl:''' (yelps) ''Please don't hurt us! We made a deal with the thieves! We scare people away from their camp for food.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Just children. I actually believed you were Kappa! I feel foolish.''

Daitengu
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Bird cries from a warrior. Could this be a Daitengu?''
[]
*'''Daitengu:''' (caws) ''Mortal wanderer. Do you seek honor in the clash of steel? Or do you flutter by like a leaf on the breeze? Do you see your reflection in my blade? Or do you wear a mask to protect your soul?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I always wanted to cross blades with a Daitengu. This was just a man who talks like a bird.''

Return to Mamushi
[14:27-15:09][42]
[]
*'''Chitose:''' ''I am spawned from the dread of mortals. Your fear makes me stronger.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''In the end... Mamushi was wrong. Yes. Yokai.''
-->

==Outcome==
Naoe and Yasuke assisted Mamushi in solving the mysteries behind the yokai, only to learn that it may be more real than they realised.
