Is Onimusha actually built for Sekiro players, or has modern gaming discourse completely misidentified its target audience? In this video essay, we break down the "Sekiro Fallacy"—analyzing why surface-level parry mechanics don't make an aggressive Souls-like. By looking at Capcom's remake blueprint, UI/HUD DNA, and cinematic design choices, we explore why a modern Onimusha reboot shares far more DNA with God of War (2018) than Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
