No Damage. No Makimono / Ninjutsu.

I have left the first cutscene because it explains what Akujiki does and how it works. Just for people who're not familiar with this game.
I haven't stretched the video for wide screen this time. Is it better like this? Hmm not sure if i should upload the rest like this or not. Feedback is always welcome.

How hard is Super?
Watch how fast Akujiki sucks your soul, especially as Moritsune.
Enemies have more defence and they are more aggresive, that means they attack more often and deal more damage.
I'll explain how boss points work, maximum for the bosses of stages "A" is 20,000 stages "B" is 30,000 if you kill a boss with 1 Akujiki hit you will get all points, 2 hits will cut the bonus in half 3 hits will make it nearly impossible to achive the S rank anymore cause apparently the bonus drops to zero. That's why you have to focus on hitting the boss in the back cause that deals a significant amout of damage and if the boss doesn't turn his back or doesn't have that weakness then you'll have to wait for him to taunt or do a special pose so you can kill him in 1 hit.
Important note: Damage from Akujiki absorbing your life bar doesn't count as a hit so you don't have to worry about that, you'll still get your no damage bonus if enemies or traps in some stages doesn't hit you.
One more thing, in the result screen you can see the number of "secret" coins. Normal has some amount, Hard has everything in normal but with one additional coin that shows only in hard, and finally Super has all the previous difficulty coins with an exclusive one. You don't have to pick them every time you play by the way.
