Soul

Soul icon from GetsuFumaDen.

The **Soul** (魂, *Tamashī*?) is an item in the *GetsuFumaDen* series.

## Description

White floating flames that represent the souls of defeated enemies.

### *GetsuFumaDen*

The Soul is a random drop from enemies, and as such, it only appears in the playing field. When one spawns, it will slowly start floating upward for a short period of time until it is either collected or it vanishes. Collecting it restores a little HP from Fuma's pool.

Due to its free healing properties, the Soul can provide an impromptu source of healing to the player in case they need a quick fix (for example, when preparing for a boss battle) and can be farmed by finding a spot where an enemy that's easy to kill can be constantly respawned by moving back and forth, or also from enemies that constantly produce projectiles that can be destroyed (such as the Volcanic Bomb). Its drop rate is quite common and it will only take a little time to get back to full health if one is patient enough.

Souls are only dropped in the side-scrolling stages, they don't appear after defeating enemies in the dungeon levels.

### *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon*

In *Undying Moon*, there are two kind of souls: blue and purple.

* **Blue Soul**: They can generally be found inside of large chests or by killing some berserker versions of the enemies. Their use is immediate and can be either stocked or consumed directly to increase the player's stats or to get a potion. Only four of them can be stocked at a time, When a fifth one is collected, it will turn into 3 Purple Souls instead and the counter will be reset.
* **Purple Soul**: They can only be acquired by getting them from the dead skeleton bodies on the field, or by dismantling weapons found on the ground if these contain any activated skill in them. These souls are used to activate the skills for the weapons and sub-weapons, or to increase their ranks. Unlike the Blue Souls, they can't be consumed directly, and the only way to use them is at the Getsu Camps.

Both souls can't be brought back to the Getsu Clan Estate for any form of collection purpose. If the player either dies or returns to the Estate, then their counter will be reset.

## Description

These birds are found in Cocytus. They have the ability to fly through walls to reach the position of the player, then they fly above them and attack by stomping on them. They also use the claws from their wings to attack the player swiftly and deal moderate damage, which could easily catch them off guard. They don't have too much HP, so they should be dealt without too much trouble.

Konami Code

The **Konami Code** (コナミコマンド, *Konami Komando*?, lit. "Konami Command") is a special combination of buttons that appears in several Konami games. It was widely popularized due to its inclusion in the NES home version of *Contra* (1988), where it allowed the player to obtain 30 free lives. Since then the code has become part of popular culture in general, even appearing in many non-Konami games and diverse media, such as clothing, advertisements and non-gaming related software.

## History

The code was first used in the 1986 release of *Gradius* for the Nintendo Entertainment System but was popularized among North American players in the NES version of *Contra*, for which it was also dubbed both the "Contra Code" and "30 Lives Code", because of its nearly necessary use in the game.

## Input

The code is inputted in *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon* by entering the pause menu during a level and entering the button sequence. If performed correctly, a chime will be heard. Upon exiting the pause menu, a potion will be spawned for the player to pick up. The code can only be used one time per playthrough.

## Branching Paths

Stone Monument

**Stone Monuments** are a feature in *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon*.

## Description

Stone Monuments are found throughout the game. Each stele contains an epitaph with partial information about Getsu Rando's past history and how he became hungry for more power.

Each stage features one stone monument, with the exception of Cocytus. When the player first reads one of them, a small pouch of materials, as well as one potion, are offered to them (only one time for stage/stele).

There are five possible different story epitaphs for each of the stage's Stone Monuments, for a total of 35 as a whole, so it is impossible to uncover all the information about Rando's past in one playthrough; instead, the player must revisit the steles in following playthroughs in order to gather new additional information.

## Trivia

* In the first version of the game, the steles offered the extra bonus items only one time by each new stele which was read. Following the feedback of the community, this was modified in the version 0.1.11 update; now, even if the stele was already read in a previous playthrough, players can still get the bonus items regardless.
Skeleton Soldier

Skeleton Soldier artwork from Undying Moon.

The **Skeleton Soldier** (経典骨 (きょうてんこつ), *Kyotenkotsu*?), or simply **Skeleton**, is an enemy in the *GetsuFumaDen* series. It is the reanimated carcass of a long dead soldier who was condemned to fight eternally.

## Description

A reanimated skeleton monster. In *GetsuFumaDen*, it attacks by throwing its own bones.

It reappeared in *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon*, where it is described as the skeleton of a soldier who in life slaughtered helpless villagers on the battlefield and who for this act was condemned to suffer eternally in combat as living bones. These enemies basically encompass most of the variants of similar skeletal warriors from the first game, and as such, they can be encountered carrying a variety of weapons and following diverse attack patterns accordingly.

## Gallery

## Trivia

* In *GetsuFumaDen*, this enemy's behavior is very similar to certain types of Skeletons from the *Castlevania* franchise (also by Konami), where they also attack by throwing their bones. Both the *GetsuFumaDen* and the *Castlevania* series are known for sharing a similar history and this enemy could possibly be either a reference or a concept borrowed from the latter.

N/A

***The Legend of Fuma*** is the fifth downloadable pack and the eleventh overall Chapter of *Castlevania: Harmony of Despair*, released on February 2, 2011 for 240 MSP. It is based on the 1987 Konami game *GetsuFumaDen*.

Its boss is Ryukotsuki (literally "Dragon Bone Demon"). Its default stage music is "Go! Getsu Fuma" from the original game and the boss theme is "Ryukotsuki". Its hidden item is the Facade Card. The original game's hero, Getsu Fuma, is also available as a separate downloadable playable character.

## Overview

*The Legend of Fuma* is an 8-bit styled stage similar to its predecessor *Origins*. It includes three Grimoires and multiple breakable walls obstructing the players progression. It also includes three minibosses: Decapiclops, Oxocutioner and Chimyriad, which were the three main bosses –or *Majins*– from *GetsuFumaDen*, all of which are necessary to defeat before gaining access to the boss room.

The boss of this stage is Ryukotsuki, who was the final boss of the original Famicom game. Likewise, the encounter is divided in three phases, each in where Ryukotsuki adopts a different form and that must be defeated in order to advance to the next. Their first form is an old hag-like shape wearing a skull mask; the second is a warrior in their prime with long red hair and holding a shield; and the third one is a huge demon bone dragon.

Ravenous Demon

Ravenous Demon artwork from Undying Moon.

The **Ravenous Demon** (餓鬼, *Gaki*?) is an enemy in the *GetsuFumaDen* series. It is a thin and famished ghost that is eternally hungry.

## Origins

The *Gaki* (also known as Preta) is a hungry ghost observed in Chinese traditional religion, Taoism, Buddhism, Vietnamese, as well as many other Asian beliefs. It is believed that those who are greedy in life would end up becoming hungry ghosts after death, although there are other circumstances which can cause one to become a hungry ghost.

In order to appease these spirits, there is a day called the "Hungry Ghost Festival" (known as *Obon* in Japan), which is held on the 15th night of the seventh month in the Lunar Calendar (or August 15th for most Japanese). People leave out offerings of food, money, and other gifts not just for hungry ghosts but also for ancestors and other spirits, as it is believed the gates of Hell open on that particular month.

## Description

A thin and famished ghost bearing an abnormally swollen belly and which is eternally hungry.

### *GetsuFumaDen*

In *GetsuFumaDen*, it is one of the few enemies that exclusively appear in the dungeon stages, in its case it is found in the third one. A giant white ghost with a swollen belly and bearing a single horn on its head that is perpetually hungry. It attacks by spewing fireballs.

### *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon*

It reappears in *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon*, and is found in the Hellfire Cliff. Unlike its depiction in the previous game, here the Ravenous Demon doesn't feature a horn on his head, and doesn't even spew any fireballs. Instead, its only attack consists at jumping at the player as soon as it spots him, attacking with its claws, dealing damages with a probability of inflicting the bleed status effect.

***Otomedius Excellent*** (オトメディウスX: エクセレント！, *Otomediusu X: Ekuserento!*?) is an Xbox 360 horizontal scrolling shooter, part of the *Otomedius* series (which in turn is heavily inspired by the *Gradius* series), and the sequel to the 2008 game *Otomedius Gorgeous* by Konami for the same system. It was released on April 21, 2011 in Japan, and in North America on November 8 of the same year.

## *GetsuFumaDen* references

The game also reintroduces Ryukotsuki, the original main antagonist from *GetsuFumaDen* and sworn enemy of the Gesshi Clan, who has been resurrected by the Gofer Sisters to take advantage of her power. Her ultimate goal is to defeat Hanafuuma in order to make her hers. Keeping with the overall theme of the game, Ryukotsuki features a female humanoid body, which is based on her second form from *GetsuFumaDen*.

Oni (character)

*For the enemy, see Oni.*

Oni as he appears in GetsuFumaDen.

The **Oni** (鬼（おに）?) is a non-playable character in *GetsuFumaDen*. They are three corpulent Oni who guard the gates to the three neighboring islands surrounding Raging Demon. They will only allow access through them if presented with a "Demon Face".

## Description

Three corpulent and musclebound Oni holding a club that guard the entrance to each of the three neighboring islands surrounding Raging Demon Island: *Kigan-tō* (鬼願島?, "Ogre Head Island"), *Gokumon-tō* (獄門島?, "Prison Gate Island") and *Mitsukubi-tō* (三首島?, "Three Necks Island"). Each one guards a gate and will only allow entry through it if presented with a "Demon Face". These items, in turn, are obtained by defeating three Jagi that dwell somewhere along the islands.

Each specific Oni will only allow access if possessing a determined number of Demon Faces, basically meaning that the player has to defeat the Jagi around the same area in order to have the necessary number of Demon Faces. This mechanic is to set the progression of the game in the intended order.

Besides this, gatekeeper Oni have no other role in the game and can neither attack nor be attacked, nor be interacted with in any other way.

She wears a noticeably lavish kimono conformed of different colored pieces. The main dress piece is primarily red and has a purple stripe with a floral pattern along its border on the bottom. Underneath, she wears a burning sand colored skirt, possibly being a complete undergarment as the same color peeks from the dress's collar area. She wears a large and white outer garment on top featuring patterns of cranes flying over vivid floral designs.

The entire set is held together with a yellow patterned sash tied on the front on a big bow which covers most of the abdominal area.

In addition, she fashions a complex traditional Japanese hairstyle combed in two big buns that come out of each side of the head; these are accompanied with two peaks coming from the top. The entire set is held together with a golden-colored hairpiece with various large hairpins piercing through it.

Nintendo Entertainment System

The **Nintendo Entertainment System** (commonly abbreviated as **NES**) is an 8-bit video game console released by Nintendo in North America, Brazil, Europe, Asia and Australia. Its Japanese equivalent is known as the Nintendo Family Computer, or **Famicom** (ファミコン, *Famikon*?). The most successful gaming console of its time in Asia and North America (Nintendo claims to have sold over 60 million NES units worldwide), it helped revitalize the video game industry following the video game crash of 1983, and set the standard for subsequent consoles in everything from game design (the first modern platform game, *Super Mario Bros.*, was the system's first "killer game") to business practices. The NES was the first console for which the manufacturer openly courted third-party developers, including Konami. The NES's biggest competitors were the Sega Master System and the Atari 7800, but they posed very little threat to Nintendo's dominance at the time.

Ancient Battleground

**Subspace Citadel** is a location in *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon*. It takes place in an ancient castle full of monsters, spirits and traps.

## Description

This area can only be unlocked with the Dull Key.

The area consists of two main sections. The first consists of a fairly linear shallow incline through a walled village, the singular path is littered with enemies and Floating Crossbow turrets that will track the player and fire arrows at them in set intervals. Occasionally, the Daidarabotchi will loom up and attack from the background, attempting to pound the player with its fists, destroying buildings that are in the way.

At the top of the incline rests the citadel itself, a building similar in structure to the Avenue of Pleasure and Illusion, in that it has multiple cramped rooms and a somewhat maze-like layout, with the Daidarabotchi peeking in through windows, continuing to observe the player. The rooms are filled with enemies, floating crossbows, and a variety of traps including spears that shoot out, blades that swing through, and so on. Paths can also be blocked off until switches are found elsewhere in the citadel to open them up. Due to the confined nature of the layout, player spacing is key to avoiding traps and incoming enemy attacks, making the area a challenge.

Once the player reaches the exit at the top of the citadel, they alight to the roof, where the Daidarabotchi is finally fought in a multi-phase battle.

## Enemies

* Shishi Gashira
* Tenaga-Ashinaga
* Floating Crossbow
* Skeleton Archer
* Nurarihyon (absent on Apprentice difficulty)
* Oni

## Miscellaneous

* Stone Monument: 1

## Branching Paths

* Ancient Battleground

## Notes

* This stage was first made available through the 0.3.8 version update released on August 20, 2021.

Tokuma Shoten

Tokuma Shoten's headquarters in Japan.

**Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd.** (株式会社徳間書店, *Kabushiki gaisha Tokuma Shoten*?) is a publishing company in Japan, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo. The company was established in 1954 by Yasuyoshi Tokuma in Minato, Tokyo. The company's product portfolio includes music publishing, video game publishing, movies, anime, magazines, manga and books.

Companies that were part of Tokuma Shoten include Studio Ghibli, Daiei Film and the record label Tokuma Japan Communications.

Since 2005, the company has streamlined itself to focus solely on the publication of print media and the airing of its adapted properties to TV and feature film. On March 17, 2017, the company was acquired by Culture Convenience Club. The deal was completed at the end of March.

Numagozen

Numagozen artwork from Undying Moon.

The **Numagozen** (沼御前?) is an enemy in *GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon*.

## Origins

The *Numa-Gozen* is said to reside within Lake Numazawa of Fukushima Prefecture. Stories say that the *Numa-Gozen* is a big snake living in the lake and can turn into a young girl. In swamp areas, this temptress lures unsuspecting farmers close to the water and then drags them in.

According to the legends, she has a six meter-long hair, can cast a storm and contains fatal venom within her body. She was very violent and repeatedly caused havoc on humanity. She was thought to be slain during the Kamakura Period, but several other stories indicate she survived.

There is a *Numa-Gozen* shrine nearby the lake and a festival depicting the slain of the serpentine *yōkai* has been held annually on the first Sunday of August.

However, the Numagozen that appears in *Undying Moon*, featuring a serpentine-like body from the waist down, resembles more other serpent women *yōkai*, such as the *Nure-Onna* or the *Akamata*.

## Description

Numagozen are found in The Great Wave of Damnation and the Frozen Graveyard. They use their tails to attack the player. They are slow to react, but their long tail range makes it up for it. They have a decent number of HP.
