Some have questions not only about the heroine's appearance, but also about her movements.
The main character of Ghost of Yotei is capable of performing a number of spectacular combat moves, but they are not the only thing that attracts players' attention. The process of drawing and sheathing the long odachi sword is also an important part of the game's atmosphere.
The length of the odachi starts from 90 centimeters, and the weight is about 1.5 kg. Atsu draws this weapon from a difficult position — he carries the odachi behind his back. As it turned out, this specific movement is quite possible to repeat in real life.
A martial arts instructor published a video online: the movements of the Ghost of Yotei heroine were reproduced. The main contact in this case occurs with the "blunt" part of the sword (the back, the stiffening rib), but there is still a chance of touching the sharp edge.
However, Tenshinryu noted that "not all movements are direct motion capture in the style of Tenshin-ryu, and many elements have been significantly adapted for the gameplay, so this is not \"Tenshin-ryu exactly as it is\"".
