For the 5th boss it's the big demon dragon himself, Orochi. This strategy is based on using Amaterasu's powered up Infinity Judge as a main weapon and powered up Life Beads as the secondary. As with my other boss videos, my strategy isn't absolute and I wouldn't mind other effective strategies or advice posted as comments

I'm splitting this battle into 2 videos because it's really long and because Orochi has 2 phases. This will cover his first phase. Orochi has 8 heads that do different attacks, but I only focused on three of them in this video.

I started with the head that appears in from of Ammy and went to the heads on the right. The initial head spits fire (dodge the flames), to the right, the head that spits buds (The buds will spew a cursed fog if left alone, meaning you won't be able to use your brush for a short time) and to the right of that, the head that creates tornados (use your Gale brush stroke to overpower the tornado). In a previous try I noticed that some of the other heads need Power Slashing in order to cancel their attacks. So anyways, each head that's right above Ammy will use said attacks and then roar, while roaring you need to bust out your brush and draw a Waterspout line from the gold pool of sake to the heads' mouth. When you do that to the same mouth twice, it'll get drunk and get the spins. You only need to sauce up 3 of the heads with sake and then Orochi will take a nap. While he's sleeping off his hangover, run up the neck closest to you and give the bell a good banging with your weapon. Use a Steel Fist Sake and smash that bell to pieces as fast as you can because if you don't break it in one attempt, you'll have to get 3 heads drunk again and repeat (which will really hurt your time bonus). For the next half of the fight, refer to part 2.
