==Strategy/Usage==
Like the other Ultra Souls, Ushiwakamaru has significantly different stats between Normal (spammable) and Evolved Form (high performance), both of which can be used effectively depending on the situation.
===Normal Form===
Ushiwakamaru can be regarded as an anti-Angel Cameraman Cat, with the two of them possessing identical range and similar attack rates. Compared to Cameraman Cat, Ushiwakamaru has roughly 66% higher health, attack power and DPS, plus he moves thrice as fast and has better modifiers for Angels, making him a significantly better specialist. However, Ushiwakamaru is also ~50% more expensive than Cameraman, takes an additional 2 seconds to recharge and lacks the ability to survive lethal strikes. 
At level 30, with all Heaven's Fruit Treasures at 100%, Ushiwakamaru's DPS against Angels is 16,150, almost double that of Kasa Jizo (8,328) and almost half that of Divine Kalisa (33,776). His overall durability against Angels is 42,075, worse than Ramen Cat's (89,250), but much better than Urashima Taro's (21,816).
===Evolved Form===
Colossal Benkei is fairly similar to any Uber Rare Cat with ~450 range, aside from his moderately higher attack power and DPS, with extremely high health pool which allows him to shrug off attacks from any Angels capable of reaching him, aside from Cala Maria. Unfortunately, he also costs as much as Mighty Lord Gao and takes about as long to recharge despite being considerably less impressive as a generalist. Lastly, although Benkei hits hard, his DPS is quickly trounced by a stack of 3 or more Ushiwakamarus, making his Evolved Form inferior in stages where long range is unnecessary.
At level 30, with all Heaven's Fruit Treasures at 100%, Colossal Benkei's DPS against Angels is 37,944, over 50% higher than Jizo's Mega-Castle (24,420) and over twice as much as Dark Catman's (18,280). Benkei's overall durability against Angel enemies is 212,500, better than Almighty Zeus's (177,650), but significantly worse than King Gamereon's (410,833), although this remains impressive for an anti-angel specialist with extreme damage.
In summary, Ushiwakamaru is a great anti-Angel cat who combines the best traits of other great Cats. Do not hesitate to invest in him, as when leveled, he easily outshines every other anti-angel and will absolutely tear through them with terrifying ease.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A small, egg-shaped cat who runs around playing a flute. Wears a rainbow "veil" on his head.
*Evolved Form: A huge white and gray robot with a giant rocket-powered hammer and Ushiwakamaru sitting on a shoulder—without the veil and hair visible, being replaced or hidden by a samurai helmet and shoulder-plates. Ushiwakamaru now uses his flute to direct Benkei to attack.
==Trivia==
*Ushikawakamaru is based on the Japanese legend Minamoto no Yoshitsune, also known as Ushiwakamaru, while Colossal Benkei is based on Yoshitsune's rival, then retainer, Benkei, re-imagined as a giant robot.
**The H.E.I.K.E. corps are named after the Taira clan, also known as Heike, which the real Ushiwakamaru destroyed in 1185 after numerous battles.
*Ushiwakamaru is the only Ultra Soul to be based on a real person as opposed to a fairy tale or folktale.
*Colossal Benkei is a reference to the manga, tokusatsu and OVA series Giant Robo. Not only does its overall body shape strongly resemble that of Giant Robo itself in the Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still, but its Japanese description calls it a Robo, not a robot.
