1. Our story so far…
Aya is one of the last descendants of a cursed bloodline. The Baneful Blood that flows through
her veins ensures that her life will be filled with conflict, heartache, and madness. When blood touches
Aya’s skin her Baneful Blood sings out a song of havoc and infuses her body with a terrible power.
The power of the Baneful Blood lets Aya fight with rage and ferocity but it slowly destroys her mind.
In time, the Baneful Blood may consume her.
Aya, using the powers of the Baneful Blood, made her living as an assassin. She had trouble
relating to most normal people. Normal humans tainted by Baneful Blood become zombies. These
zombies, in turn, infect other humans also turning them into zombies. Aya still tries to stop the vicious
cycle by killing zombies wherever she can find them.
Aya thought that she was alone in the world. After her first zombie incident she found another
girl cursed with the Baneful Blood: her half-sister Saki. While they were initially driven by their
Baneful Blood to fight one another, Aya and Saki became good friends. Though they still clashed from
time to time, they learned to love and care for each other as sisters. Saki even picked up her big sister’s
trade: assassination. For awhile it seemed that Aya and Saki might live relatively peaceful lives.
The peace did not last. Another woman with the Baneful Blood, Eva, trapped and abducted
Saki. While trying to free her sister from Eva’s clutches, Aya was approached by an agent from a
mysterious organization: Reiko. Aya did not trust the organization’s motives, but she needed all the
help she could get in order to defeat Eva. Begrudgingly, Aya accepted Reiko’s offer of partnership and
together they slew Eva.
After the fight Aya was betrayed. Reiko cut out Eva’s heart and consumed it. By eating Eva’s
heart Reiko gained the curse and power of Eva’s Baneful Blood. Horrified by Reiko’s actions, Aya
attacked Reiko and struck her down. However, Aya could not bring herself to kill her former ally. Her
final strike did not kill Reiko. It only left a ragged wound in her neck. Aya had shown mercy by
delivering the last cut with back of her sword. With Saki finally safe, and Eva dead, Aya and her sister
returned home.
Once again the peace did not last, for the curse of the Baneful Blood weaves a tangled web.
One afternoon while relaxing in their condo, Saki noticed reports on the television of rioters flooding
the city streets. However, the so-called rioters were not angry citizens. They were zombies.
2. Saves
Onechanbara has two types of saves: normal and mid-game. At the end of every chapter the
player is prompted to save the game. This is a normal save. Normal saves are quite sound and will
record any of the dress-up and option changes made since last playing the game. A player can manually
save the game with a normal save by going to the “Options” menu from the main menu and selecting
“Save.”
If a player quits during gameplay they will be given the option of creating a mid-game save.
These saves are temporary. Mid-game saves can easily be lost by simply entering different areas of the
D3Publisher of America, Inc. Page 3
Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad – Xbox 360
game. For example, if a player has a mid-game save in Story Mode and they enter Survival Mode, they
will be prompted with a text box stating that if they proceed their mid-game save will be erased.
Note that while a mid-game save will record the player’s current position in the level, number
of items (including keys), and their character’s health, a mid-game save will not record a boss’s current
health level. If a player exits a boss fight, and records their game with a mid-game save, the boss will
be at full health when they return.

Counter Stance: To execute this attack press Y and B at the same time. Game time will slow
down and the character will make a quick attack. This attack is uninterruptible and while
performing this attack the character is invincible. All characters, except Annna, will lose a bit
of life when using this attack.
Tip: This attack can be used to kill Mudmen. In the higher difficulties use Counter
Stance to avoid attacks. The tradeoff in life is worth it.
Switch Attack: This attack only works if the player has a secondary character. To execute this
attack press RT and then X. The second character will come into gameplay already attacking
while the primary character leaves play. This attack is uninterruptible.
Tip: This a great attack to use when the character is surrounded and low on life.
Jump Kick: Press A and then press Y while the character is in the air to deliver a standard
jump kick.
Spin Kick: Hold down the RB to “Lock On” and press Y while pressing forward on the left
analog stick.
Tip: This kick is capable of throwing enemies back a great distance.
Side Kick: To use this kick, “Lock On” by holding down the RB and press Y while pressing
left or right on the left analog stick.
Tip: This move is great for creating room to dodge.
Foot Sweep: To perform a Foot Sweep, “Lock On” by holding down the RB and press Y while
pressing back on the left analog stick.
Tip: This move is great for hitting enemies that have been knocked down.
Thrust: Only characters with swords can perform this attack. “Lock On” by holding down the
RB. Then press X while moving forward with the left analog stick.
Tip: This attack can bypass enemy blocks.
Upward Slash: Only characters with swords can perform this attack. “Lock On” by holding
down the RB. Then press X while moving back with the left analog stick.
Tip: This attack is great for clearing the area of zombies attempting to flank the
character while she is focused on a boss.
Counter Attack: Normally, only Aya and Saki can perform this attack. First trigger Clear Sight
Mode by performing a Dodge just as the character is being attacked. While in Clear Sight
Mode, press X to deliver the Counter Attack.
Tip: This attack can kill Mudmen and deals large amounts of damage to bosses.
Taunt: Press up on the D-pad. The character will taunt her enemies causing them to move
towards to her.
Tip: Taunting is useful for herding groups of zombies. Keep in mind that the character
is vulnerable during the taunt animation.

4. Basic Gameplay Concepts
Baneful Blood
Aya and Saki, being the descendants of a cursed bloodline, have Baneful Blood. Their Baneful
Blood allows them to go into Rampage Mode when splattered with enough blood. The character
portrait acts as a Splatter Gauge. The portrait will fill with blood as they are splattered with gore. Once
their Splatter Gauge is full, it will start flashing and the character will enter Rampage Mode as soon as
she is on her feet and not attacking. The portrait fills with a bit of blood every time the character is hit,
deals a hit, or every time she collects a Red Orb. Fighting some enemies, such as Mudmen or a Blood
Mist Zombies, will fill the gauge faster than others.
Once in Rampage Mode, the character’s health will constantly drain and she will take double
damage from all attacks. However, she will also deal double damage, move at double speed, and her
attacks will be uninterruptible. She will no longer be subject to knock-back or knockdown effects and
her attacks will effect Mudmen. Additionally, while in Rampage Mode, any Red Orbs she picks up will
heal her by a small amount. Characters can only leave Rampage Mode by using a Goddess Statue
Fragment, visiting a Goddess Statue, dying, or completing the Chapter.
If a character goes into Rampage Mode on the final hit of a Cool Combo, then she will enter
Double Rampage Mode. In Double Rampage Mode her health drains at twice the Rampage Mode rate
and she takes quadruple damage from all attacks. She also deals quadruple damage and moves at
quadruple speed. Just as in Rampage Mode her attacks are uninterruptible, she is not subject to knock-
back or knockdown, and her attacks effect Mudmen. In Double Rampage Mode the character’s Ecstasy
Attack changes from her normal Ecstasy Attack to an Explosive Ecstasy Attack which is far more
potent. Her Counter Stance attack receives an upgrade as well. In Double Rampage Mode it will launch
a foe-seeking cloud of Blood Mist.
Switching Characters
Players will often have two characters at a time. To switch between the characters simply press
RT. While a character is inactive they cannot take damage, even if they are in Rampage Mode. Inactive
characters may even heal over time.
When taking damage, notice that some segments of the Vitality Gauge are empty and some are
filled with a light blue color. While inactive, a character will slowly regain any light blue segments on
their Vitality Gauge. If a player switches to an inactive character with light blue segments on their
Vitality Gauge then those segments will become empty. Thus, it is best to keep wounded characters
inactive until all their light blue Vitality Gauge segments have been refilled.
Additionally if the Ecstasy Meter of any character, other than Annna, fills and they do not use
an Ecstasy Attack, then the inactive character’s Ecstasy Meter will also begin to fill. The inactive
character’s Ecstasy Meter will fall if the active character is not attacking enemies.
D3Publisher of America, Inc. Page 6
Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad – Xbox 360
Gore Meter
As Saki and Aya slice through groups of zombies, their swords become tainted with the blood
and gore of their foes. This is represented by the sword with the rising Gore Meter on the left side of
the screen. As the sword fills with blood, their attacks become slower and deal less damage. If the
sword fills completely with blood, then it will become stuck in any humanoid, non-boss enemy they
strike. This could prove disastrous if the character is unable to move while in a huge group of zombies.
Therefore it is best to keep swords clean and ready at all times by wiping them clean with the LB.
A bloody sword can prove useful in certain situations. When attempting to perform a combo,
especially on Blood Mist Zombies, a bloody sword can help by slowing down the timing for the
combo. This tactic will not work on lesser zombies as a bloody blade will become stuck when striking
them, but Blood Mist Zombies have no such draw back. Blades simply will not stick in their misty
bodies. Against Blood Mist Zombies the consistency of combo timing provided by the bloody sword
can be an aid in completing a Cool Combo. Note that the “Bloody Sword” Quest requires that you end
Chapters with a bloody sword.
Ecstasy Meter
Wrapping around every character’s portrait is her Ecstasy Meter. This meter has three partitions
and fills as they attack foes. When a partition fills, the character can perform an Ecstasy Attack. Using
an Ecstasy Attack drains a partition’s worth from the meter. Thus a full meter could be used three
times. The Ecstasy Meter only fills when the character actually lands her blows. If she stops attacking
enemies, her Ecstasy Meter will start to fall. The rate at which her Ecstasy Meter fills and falls is based
on her “Skill.” With a high “Skill” the Ecstasy Meter will fill quicker and fall slower.
Ammo Counter
As Annna fires her guns, the Ammo Counter near her portrait will count down. The counter
represents the amount of ammo Annna has left in her guns. Annna has two sets of guns and their ammo
is tracked separately. Annna can reload her guns by pressing the LB. Annna never truly runs out of
ammo, she only needs to pause and reload.
Clear Sight Mode
When executing a Dodge, Aya and Saki have a chance to enter Clear Sight Mode. While in
Clear Sight Mode, game speed slows down to a crawl and the character is invincible. To trigger Clear
Sight Mode, have the character perform a Dodge just as she is being attacked. Clear Sight Mode lasts
for just a few seconds, but it is often more than enough time to allow for an escape or to perform a
powerful Counter Attack. The duration of Clear Sight Mode can be lengthened by using the Clear Sight
Bracelet.
Standard Combo
When using Aya or Saki pressing X repeatedly will automatically string a series of attacks together
based on her “Skill.” With high amounts of “Skill” the sisters can quickly cover a large area with these
D3Publisher of America, Inc. Page 7
Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad – Xbox 360
attacks. Charts detailing the amount and types of attacks each character can perform based on their skill
can be found in Characters and Special Moves.
Chaotic Luster Maelstrom
This is also known as the Manual Combo and it can only be performed by Saki and Aya. Aya
must be using her Single Sword Style to perform this attack. Each hit in this combo grants a greater
gain on the Ecstasy Meter than a hit on the Standard Combo.
To begin this attack, the player must vary the timing on the Standard Combo. Press X three
times (thus performing the first three moves of the Standard Combo) then pause for about a half a
second and press X again. At this point the character’s animations will start to differ from the Standard
Combo. The player can continue to chain attacks by pressing X above and beyond the Standard
Combo’s maximum number of attacks. Saki’s Chaotic Luster Maelstrom will continue for an additional
nineteen attacks and Aya’s will trail on for an additional twenty five.
The timing for the attacks will become increasingly difficult as player continues. This can also
be complicated by increasing amount of blood gathered on the character’s sword as she slays foes. If a
player is having difficulty completing this combo, it may be wise for them to practice the combo with a
bloody sword or to use the Sparkling Sword Bracelet. Another option would be to use the Special Skill
Bracelet. With the Special Skill Bracelet the timing window for the combo is longer, thus the combo is
easier to perform.
Alternatively, the player can begin this combo after every attack of a Standard Combo divisible
by three. For example, the player could perform the first six (or even nine) attacks of a Standard
Combo, then pause and begin the Chaotic Luster Maelstrom by pressing X. If the player starts the
combo later in the Standard Combo, then the speed of the attacks in the Chaotic Luster Maelstrom, as
well as the amount of charge added to the Ecstasy Meter, will be increased.
Beyond the first few moves of the Chaotic Luster Maelstrom the effective range diminishes as
the character is unable to change the direction she is facing between attacks. This means that unless the
player breaks the combo the character will soon be moving in a straight line cutting at empty air.
However, this combo is useful for defeating slow moving bosses and works well for clearing confined
hallways. It also is required for completing the “Dance of the Empress” Quest.
Cool Combo
The Cool Combo is the toughest combo to perform in the game. The secret to pulling off the
Cool Combo is timing. To perform the Cool Combo, the player must press X to trigger the next attack
for the Standard Combo just as the previous one hits. This means that when a player walks up to an
enemy that they want to perform the Cool Combo on, they start by pressing X to make a standard
attack. Then the player presses X just as the first attack lands to trigger the second attack. Just as the
second attack hits they press X again to trigger the third attack, and so on… The Cool Combo attack
does not have to hit an enemy in order to continue. As long as the timing is correct, even a slash at
empty air will count as part of the combo. If the player misses the timing on any of the attacks in the
chain then the combo is broken and they must start again.
D3Publisher of America, Inc. Page 8

A Cool Combo Hit
The game gives several indications that the Cool Combo is being performed correctly. When
the player makes a Cool Combo hit, the screen flashes with white X’s, the sword strike makes an odd
“whooshing” sound, and the controller vibrates.
Practice Mode can be useful for practicing the Cool Combo. Using the Timing Bar a player can
see the timing window for pressing X. The window appears as the yellow portion of the bar. However,
players should guard against using the Timing Bar too often. The bar is not available outside of
Practice Mode and it is very easy to become overly dependent upon it. Instead, players should consider
using the sound of the attack or the motion of the animation to gauge the timing for the Cool Combo. It
is suggested that players turn off other sounds and/or watch the animations closely and use the Timing
Bar only as an occasional reference.
There are some ways to make performing the Cool Combo easier. The timing for the Cool
Combo is based off of “Skill,” so having maxed out “Skill” is very important. The Special Skill
Bracelet increases the length of the timing window for performing all combos. This means that with the
Special Skill Bracelet, the timing for the Cool Combo is more forgiving, thus the combo is easier to
pull off.
It is also important to pay attention to the amount of blood the character has accumulated on her
sword. As a sword becomes covered with blood, the timing of attacks will change. This causes the
timing to become progressively more difficult as the player attempts to chain attacks together. A good
way to deal with this is to either practice the Cool Combo with a bloody sword (useful when trying to
defeat Blood Mist Zombies) or use the Sparking Sword Bracelet to reduce the amount of blood gained
from attacks.
The Cool Combo deals double damage with each hit. This means that a player could use the
Cool Combo to easily complete the “Swift and Beautiful Death” Quest and defeat difficult bosses. The
Cool Combo always has a one more attack than the maximum number of attacks in the character's
D3Publisher of America, Inc. Page 9
Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad – Xbox 360
Standard Combo. For example, if Aya's current skill grants her six attacks with her Standard Combo,
then her Cool Combo will max out at seven attacks.
The Cool Combo is also the only way to unlock many of the items in the game. The “Cool
Master” and “Rampaging Baneful Blood” Quests both require mastery of the Cool Combo. Blood Mist
Zombies are only affected by Cool Combo hits. This means that unless the Cool Combo is mastered
most of the Bracelets and some of the Achievements will remain locked.
5. Characters and Special Moves
Aya
Aya is our beautiful bikini clad heroine. She is a well
rounded character capable of mowing down hordes of zombies with
the broad, sweeping strokes of her swords. She also has the longest
Cool combo. This makes her essential to unlocking Bracelets and
completing Quests. Aya starts with the Single Sword Style and
gains the Double Sword Style in Chapter 3. Overall she is the
easiest character to use to complete Story Mode.
The damage dealt by Aya's attacks is based off of her “Power” stat.
The higher her “Power,” the greater the damage. Beginning players
should focus on leveling her “Power” and then her “Vitality.”
“Skill” should be preferred over “Range” when leveling Aya as she
receives extra attacks from her “Skill” fairly often. The higher her
“Skill” bar is the easier it is to unlock the Bracelets and complete
many of the quests.
Whirlwind Ecstasy Attack
To perform an Ecstasy Attack press X and A at the same time while the Ecstasy Meter is charged.
During an Ecstasy Attack, Aya will spin in circles attacking all foes around her except for those
directly behind her.
While performing an Ecstasy Attack, Aya is invincible. Aya does not move very far during an
Ecstasy Attack, but her direction and facing can be changed by moving the left analog stick. The
Ecstasy Attack has a duration based on Aya’s “Skill.” The more “Skill” Aya has the longer the attack
lasts.
Aya’s Whirlwind Ecstasy Attack is great for mowing down large groups of enemies. The best
approach is to jump into the largest clump of foes and trigger the attack. While the attack continues
simply direct Aya into any stragglers. Since it may be hard see what is going on, with Aya making such
a wonderful mess, a player’s best option is to watch the mini-map. Then all they have to do is chase
down the red dots with their green triangle of doom.
