Maybe it's just me, but I always really liked this chapter. Fighting through a giant air ship is cool and you have plenty of ninjas to fight in fairly tight quarters, so you can make use of wall attacks a bit more often. The hardest part for me is the fight right after you break the control panels, where you have to deal with four Mecha Fiends, tac ninjas, and a rocket guy all at once. You can shred the Mecha Fiends with UTs, but I wanted to limit myself to only one. If you're using the Dragon Sword (or possibly dual katanas), you can get lucky and behead one of the mechs with a flying swallow, which helps a lot. Otherwise it's a huge pain dealing with two of them at once since they've got a ton of health and they're constantly rushing you down with guard breaking attacks. You have to be careful about the rocket soldier as well, because one bad hit from him can do a lot of damage.

There's another fight with Genshin at the end, and this is just a repeat of the first one from chapter 2 with no real difference. They could have thrown some minions in to increase the difficulty a bit, but it's fine as is because Genshin is a great boss.

The fire armadillo afterward is a bit different in Sigma/Black. In the original game, you basically always had to hit him in the head to do significant damage, but now even his legs are vulnerable (to balance that out, he does have a lot more health). You can take advantage of this when he does his fire breath attack and just cut up his feet the entire time, like I do here. He kept doing it over and over for some reason, so the fight was free. 🤷‍♂️
