Onechanbara is a series of third-person Hack and Slash games developed by Tamsoft, originally appearing as part of Simple Series budget game line released only in Japan and Europe. The games involve a team of sisters, Aya and Saki, who are among the few survivors of a zombie outbreak. Complicating matters, both sisters suffer from a curse known as "Baneful Blood", which drives them crazy when they come in contact with the zombies' blood. They have vowed to use everything in their power to drive back the zombies so that they can once again live in peace.In 2009, two games from the series were released in the United States: Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad note Known as VorteX ~ The Descendants of The Cursed Blood ~ in Japan (for Xbox 360) and Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers note Revolution in Japan (for the Wii). A live-action movie based on the series was also released in the same year.The fifth main game, Onechanbara Z ~ Kagura ~ , was released in Japan on January 19, 2012 for Xbox 360. Instead of Aya and Saki, the game stars a pair of vampire sisters named Kagura and Saaya. Unlike its predecessors, Z wasn't a budget game and its marketing has been rather big. However, due to its Xbox-exclusivity, it failed to attract a wide audience (Not that it was making any pretense to do so...).The game had an Updated Re-release for PS3 on October 24, 2013, featuring NoNoNo, a character from D3Publisher's other franchise: the Dream Club series. One year later, a PS4-exclusive sequel, Onechanbara Z2: Chaos, was released on October 10, 2014 in Japan and July 21, 2015 in the United States. The game was later released on PC through Steam.In September 2018, Onechanbara: Origin was announced for a 2019 release in Japan exclusively for the PS4, with a western release confirmed for October 14th in 2020. It is a remake/reimagining of the original PS2 games, fusing the two titles into one and adding new features.

Katanas Are Just Better: Aya's weapon of choice. She can use two of them at once if things go south. Ditto Saki, once she thinks that fists aren't cutting it (no pun intended) anymore. Also ditto Kagura, who uses two of them exclusively.

Badass Adorable: Saki, who's smaller and punches zombies to bits instead. She uses a sword twice her size, due to her supernatural powers. Saaya, who remains demure and withdrawn even while chainsawing hordes of zombies. She too can punch and kick zombies and creatures of the night to bits.

Played straight with Sayaka and Anzu from Onechanbara Z2: Chaos: like Aya/Saki and Kagura/Saaya, they're two schoolgirls who are deadly with weapons: UNLIKE the four players, they're two ZOMBIE schoolgirls who constantly try to kill the players (although they are both "cute", if you don't mind the blue-colored rotting flesh).

Mission-Pack Sequel
 Onechanbara (Video Game) / int_1a2dc1fd
comment
Mission-Pack Sequel: From Z to Z2, there are many, many recycled assets, levels, enemies and bosses. In fact, there were more stuff copy-pasted from Kagura than there were brand-new things introduced in Chaos, somewhere around 65% old to 35% new. Had Kagura been localized, critics that were already merciless on this series would have been even more unkind to Chaos.

Headbutting Heroes: Even though Kagura and Saaya realize that Aya and Saki were NOT the cause of the zombie outbreak in Onichanbara Z: Kagura, the two pairs of sisters challenge each other to a fight at the end of the game (due to the instinctive rivalry between the bearers of the Baneful Blood and Vampiric Clan just being too strong to ignore), and start a brawl with each other that continues right into the intro of Onechanbara Z2: Chaos. Even when the story mode of Onechanbara Z2: Chaos begins (when the attack of the new villains force the feuding sisters into Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, all of them (well, all except for Saaya) take every chance they have to trade insults and wisecracks at each other's expense

Bag of Spilling: Quite the aversion in Z II Chaos, Kagura and Saaya start the game with their best weapons from the previous game, Z Kagura, then work their way up with a few more upgrades. In comparison, Aya and Saki have more weapons in the same game since they weren’t (normally) available in Z Kagura, thus they start from scratch on their way to get their ultimate weapons.

Limit Break: In Chaos, both the Baneful Blood and Vampire Sisters get an upgrade from their enraged state. Aya and Saki get Xtatic, and Kagura and Saaya gain access to Dare Drive. Their transformations work similar to Devil Trigger as a Super Mode, though you still lose some health or are more susceptible to damage just like the enraged state. The girls can recover health by killing zombies and getting random drops of blood crystal from them. Also, the girls become more stripperific due to their transformations with the exception of Saaya.

Shorter Means Smarter: Averted, Kagura's technically shorter than her younger sister Saaya, but she's hot-headed and would rather strike cool poses spouting Engrish before kicking ass than think about what they were doing. This gets lampshaded by Saki during their fight, and comes to bite Kagura in the figurative ass when Bullard, their employer backstabs them.

Bittersweet Ending: Happens in almost every game in the series. Onechanbara 2 ends up with Eva being killed and EATEN by Reiko which makes a Face–Heel Turn. In Bikini Samurai Squad, Himiko is killed, but Annna's brother David dies and it is hinted that Saki may lose control over herself in future. In Origin, Eva is killed and has her heart eaten by Lei. Lei becomes crazed and tries to kill Aya and Saki, only to die by their hands. Before this, the sisters had to kill their father, Oboro. After succumbing to his blood lust and despair.

Stance System: A staple of the series that also doubles as Real-Time Weapon Change. Aya can switch from single to dual wielding swords, and Saki has access to grapple moves with her fists, Reiko pulls out a shotgun or SMG, and Misery's sword becomes a Whip Sword (the latter two ladies are playable in Bikini Zombie Slayers). Kagura and Saaya more so count as real time weapon changing, but the game(s) themselves count them as stances.

Defeat Means Playable: In Bikini Zombie Slayers, you have to win the end boss battles against Reiko and Misery (i.e. complete Story Mode as Aya and Saki, respectively) to unlock them as playable characters. Subverted in Onechanbara Z. The new duo main characters never conclusively defeat Aya or Saki, and they are never playable. That is, until the Aya & Saki DLC came out.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Onechanbara (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first game was actually titled "THE Oneechanbara", to keep in name with the budget theme the game was going for. Needless to say, this naming convention has since fallen into disuse. Not only that, but the first two games were also released in Europe only, named Zombie Hunters. When Bikini Samurai Squad Bikini Zombie Slayers made it to US & EU, the Zombie Zone/Zombie Hunters name was dropped. Anyone who played Z: Kagura & Z2: Chaos first may find the earlier entries in the franchise like this too: Aya is the only playable characters in the first game. An Updated Re Release of 1 and the sequels would bring additional unlockable characters. There is no stance system either. Aya only has one sword. You have to find keys to open doors or get to the next room. Saki is the villain for the first game of series, and does not join Aya's side until the second game. She does not get her signature gauntlets until Bikini Zombie Slayers. The series itself owed to Dynasty Warriors and Devil May Cry, while appealing more to the former early on. The games were known for having big open environments with additions to locked rooms. By the time of the Z series, the combat and stages became more DMC/Bayonettaesque, had smaller arenas,note Still has a lot of enemies, though not as much from older titles. and allowed you to juggle enemies or do air combos. The old entries have no ranking system. They did have a gameplay grading when doing combos similar to DMC, but those did not amount to much. Later games do away with that style of gameplay grading and just go for a standard combo counter and kill combos. With the exception of some bosses, all of the cannon fodder you fight are mainly zombies. It is not until the Z games that the player fights werewolves, vampires, and other supernatural creatures.

Awesomeness Meter: Start with Bikini Samurai Squad, players are graded while fighting enemies and maintaining a chain of high combo hits and kills with an associated phrase. From lowest to highest in Bikini Samurai Squad/Bikini Zombie Slayers: "Cyclone!", "Blustered!", "Ace!", "Sensual!", and "Violence!". This style meter is dropped, starting with Z: Kagura. In place is a standard combo number counter and kill counter.

comment
Portmantitle: The title, 'Onechanbara', is a portmanteau of 'onÄ“-chan', an affectionate Japanese term of address for an older sister or a young woman, and 'chanbara', a word referring to the genre of samurai films, particularly the classic ones (much like Wild West films over in the West). note Note that for the pun to be retained in romanization, one has to use modified Hepburn (or another romanization scheme like Nihonsiki - indeed, since these romanization schemes tend to drop the hyphen used for honorifics like 'OnÄ“-chan', this might be better anyway) rather than traditional Hepburn, which romanizes the kana ã‚“ / ン as 'm' rather than 'n' before an m, b or p (since that's closer to how it's actual pronounced).

Interface Screw: In Bikini Samurai Squad and Bikini Zombie Slayers, blood is splattered across the screen (and will "realistically" drip downwards) every time you hack zombies into bits. Kill multiple enemies in a single attack and almost the entire screen will be covered in blood, but all these effects will last for a few seconds.

Swipe Your Blade Off
 Onechanbara (Video Game) / int_6d63e09f
comment
Swipe Your Blade Off: An overarching gameplay mechanic, as blood accumulates on weapons quickly as you slice through the zombie hordes, and getting too much blood on it will cause them to get stuck. This also holds true even for fists (Saki and Saaya), even though blood on fists is less of a problem than a blade. This is essentially a rare example of a reload mechanic for swords.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul/Adaptation Origin Connection: Aya and Saki are no longer half siblings in Origin. They are full blooded siblings. Their parents lied to them about their true origin to spare them the fate of Baneful Blood siblings battling to the death. Oboro spills the beans to Aya, and she later tells Saki after defeating her. Tsubaki never got the chance to tell Saki, because of her untimely death from Eva.

"Just Frame" Bonus
 Onechanbara (Video Game) / int_86c919e3
comment
"Just Frame" Bonus: The combat in some of these games on the surface appears to be a button masher, however, the game encourages players to time their attacks accordingly to perform "Cool Combo" attacks, which rewards players with harder hitting attacks than a standard combo and a flashy flourish when an appropriately timed attack is executed. The window in which a Cool Combo strike between certain attacks can be made easier to pull off by increasing the Skill stat. Some combo attacks can branch off based on the timing of certain attacks.

Action Commands
 Onechanbara (Video Game) / int_8ebd7403
comment
Action Commands: In Onechanbara Z, Kagura uses this for finishers against bosses, and later, Degraded Boss(es). This is not only for show however, Action Commands that has you slicing off wings, hands, limbs, or what-have-you do decrease the monster-du-jour's attack repertoire, making it easier (theoretically) to finish them off. For bonus points, whomever between the two sisters performs the finishing move gets to have the Boss's power for the rest of the game, so strategic thinking is there, if a bit limited. Oddly, the game insists on the term "Quick Time Kill", rather than the usual QTE.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The new zombie crisis in Onechanbara Z is in fact the doing of the vampire clan that had sent Kagura and Saaya, aimed at luring out and then exterminating the threat of Baneful Bloods (i.e. descendants of the Baneful Blood, with Aya and Saki deemed to be the most dangerous of them all). When they find the heroines in the middle of a duel with Aya and Saki, they decide that the dhampyr sisters must be disposed of as well.

Combos: In Bikini Samurai Squad and Bikini Zombie Slayers, you can chain attacks after another only when you execute the attack on a specific frame during the previous one. This is referred to as "Cool Combination Attacks" and a visible motion blur signals your chance to create combos. The Skill parameter extends the time of the frames, allowing you to chain attacks easier.

Difficult, but Awesome: Z2: Chaos allows the ability to swap between the different characters on the fly.

Made of Iron: Both the Baneful Blood and Vampire sisters are shown to have far greater strength than an ordinary human. Case in point, when Kagura's parachute fails her and she crashes so hard it makes a crater, she simply uses her Blood Recovery and she gets up no worse for wear. Kagura's more concerned about dying from blood loss instead of internal organ failure or broken bones, and this is all Played for Laughs.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Apparently, the vampire clan's decision to backstab and kill Kagura and Saaya along with Baneful Blood sisters wasn't the most thought-out plan. Thanks to that, Kagura and Saaya discovered their employers' true plan and joins the Z.P.F in a mission against them. The icing on the cake? Aya and Saki ended up surviving anyway.

Face–Heel Turn: Reiko in Zombie Hunters 2. Lei, her counterpart, in Origin suffers the same fate. Subverted by Aya and Saki Onechanbara Z: Kagura, as they've been framed by the villains, who were trying to get Kagura and Saaya to kill Aya and Saki right before they killed Kagura and Saaya in return.

Bottomless Magazines: When guns are used, they never seem to run out of ammo, even if it's a zombie cop/soldier firing off the one in their hands. Taken to a ludicrous extreme in the film Bikini Samurai Squad where Reiko fires dozens of bullets from a sawed off double barrel shotgun and never once needs to reload.

Market-Based Title: The earlier installments had completely different titles outside of Japan. The OneeChanbara was localized in Europe as Zombie Zone. It's updated re-release, The OneeChanpurū ~ The Onechan Special Chapter ~ was localized as Zombie Hunters. The OneeChanbara 2's averted this since it didn't get released outside of Japan, however, its updated re-release, The OneeChampon ~ The Onechan 2 Special Chapter ~, was was localized in Europe as Zombie Hunters 2. OneeChanbara VorteX: The Descendants of The Cursed Blood was localized as Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad. OneeChanbara Revolution was localized as Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers.

Mirror Match: In the Free Play Mode of Bikini Zombie Slayers, you can play as the character who is supposed to be the boss fight of that stage, assuming that you have already unlocked Misery and Reiko to be able to count in their respective boss fights in the stages where they appear in Aya's and Saki's storylines. This can happen in Origin on NG+ runs, chapter select, or infinite survival, depending on who you have selected in your two girl roster.

Dies Differently in Adaptation
 Onechanbara (Video Game) / int_c181a846
comment
Dies Differently in Adaptation: Oboro was already dead and became a zombie in the original game. He was killed by Saki, and turned in to an Undead. Aya kills him permanently in zombie form. In Origin, Oboro is killed by Aya and Saki after losing himself to the blood curse. Tsubaki (who too went nameless in the first game), Saki's mother dies from the constant abuse and abandonment of her former husband in the original. She dies by Eva's hand off screen instead in the remake.

Deadly Upgrade
 Onechanbara (Video Game) / int_cf41a26
comment
Deadly Upgrade: The "Baneful Blood" curse induces a rage-like state when the afflicted come in contact with zombie blood. It greatly increases their strength and agility, but slowly burns away at their life force until they die. Under certain conditions, a second, more powerful rage state can be induced.

We Cannot Go On Without You: Thankfully averted in Z2 Chaos. Even if one of the girls die, it's not game over unless all four are dead. The series as a whole has averted this, ever since Bikini Samurai Squad started the tag/character switch mechanics.

Updated Re-release: The first two games on the PlayStation 2 had updated versions that added more playable characters (D3 Publisher idol mascot Riho Futaba and her younger sister Makoto, while the sequel also added Kiku and Hana). After a year, Onechanbara Z came to the PS3, which meant there was no need to import an Xbox 360. To sweeten the deal, they also threw a free Canon Immigrant to boot!

comment
Info Dump: Quite unfortunately, most games in this series often dump text as plot rather than integrating it to the gameplay or cutscenes. It isn't until Z that they tried something different, and even then they still did a text dump in the middle of the game. To be fair, with the exception of Z, Onechanbara games really are budget games, and so most resources went into the gameplay and not plot. VorteX and Revolution can really be adequately summed up as interactive novels interspersed with bikinis, zombies, and hack and slash to break the boredom.

Press X to Not Die: Early in Z, Kagura's parachute malfunctions, sending her slamming to the ground at terminal velocity. At this point, you must press the button combination for Blood Recovery shown on-screen. Failure to do this results in an early game over. Survive, and you can press the button combination again whenever you like as it has an in-game usage.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Kagura and Saaya to Aya and Saki going by the trailers for Z: Kagura. Though it's subverted in the actual game and story (other than Kagura carrying twin swords and dressing similar to Aya), both the former have different personalities and fighting styles from the latter pair.

Saki wears a blue Sailor Fuku uniform with a red bow and white sleeve and collar trimmings/accents. During the Z series, both traded their outfits in for Paint It Black and Elegant Gothic Lolita fashion respectively. Kagura has a similar color motif to what Aya used to wear.
