Biography[edit | edit source]
The locals of Izumi Settsu heard the commotion and fighting noises from this "melon" yōkai presiding in the Suika Lands, which led them to travel to the monk-turned-demon hunter Mamushi to voice their concerns. The monk chalked these notions of "bakemonos" as exaggerations yet reluctantly agreed to investigate the claims.[1]
In 1582, Mamushi met the Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke and asked them to investigate all the purported sightings of yōkai. During their investigation in Settsu, Naoe and Yasuke arrived at the farmland and discovered both melon "yōkai" sparring aggressively with each other. Confronting the men, they were asked about which melon they preferred. Answering the question, they soon fought the opposing farmer and bested them to honor the new "melon lord" of the season.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Regardless of the choice, either farmer will duel the player if they choose suika or makuwauri as their favored melon.[1]
