Ōkamiden/YMMV

• Foreshadowing: When you first visit the Thundercloud with Kurow as your partner, you can talk to a girl who lives in one of the houses. When you talk to her, she tells you to scram and seems to be busy. If you later come back with Kurow before going back to the Underground Ruins, you can talk to her again and discover that she was actually writing a song. The song's name? Don't run from destiny.
  • Made more ironic by Kurow commenting on how he likes the name of the song.
• Player Punch: When you're told that everything you've done the entire game has been helping Akuro.
  • There are three others, as well: Seeing how the Goryeo sank (which is the sunken ship from the first game), seeing Shiranui die onscreen (with all the Villagers and his grandson sobbing), and the Granddady of them all in possibly both Okami and Okamiden, Kurows fate and how he sacrifices himself to kill Akuro, with Chibi and all your other human partners absolutely bawling as they try to convince him that just because he was a living doll clone of Waka, he was still a different individual. Cue the crying when "Everything Must End" plays as Kurow life slips away from his body.
• Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: Just like with the previous game.
• Scrappy Mechanic: Ink no longer regenerates on its own.
• Tainted by the Preview: Some people were very disappointed to hear that this game was to be on the DS.
• Tear Jerker: After the final battle, killing Kurow and Akuro, every ally of Chibiterasu goes back to their own lives. What makes this sad is Manpuku, or rather, him being from 100 years ago instead of the present day like the rest. It's very likely he'll never see "Pork Chop" ever again. And after speech he gave to the Child of the Sun, too.
• That One Level: If you get trapped behind just once in the underwater sidescroll, it's an instant game over.
• That One Boss: King Fury. If you haven't perfected power slash by this point, he is probably one of the hardest bosses in the game besides the final bosses.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Waka. Some even think he Took a Level in Jerkass. Stopping evil? Awesome. Using Kurow as a doll/sacrifice to trap Akuro, leaving Chibi to kill him? Not so awesome. Though to be honest, the game doesn't make it clear just how involved Waka was in this plan.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Sugawara/King Fury. He was a politician who did everything he could to help people, but he was betrayed by some of his allies. After his death, he was possessed by Akuro, which used his frustration and grief to turn him into a Nietzsche Wannabe convinced that Humans Are the Real Monsters.
