Back in the day, Yokai would often invade the village. They say they didn't actually attack people, but when they stumble upon them at night they get a big fright, so they were reasonably scared. Out of concern for those people, [[The Wandering Samurai]] went to slice all of those pesky monsters<ref name="chara"/>. | Back in the day, Yokai would often invade the village.

Humorously, the masks are shown to have teardrops after being sliced off. Some Yokai appear with a bigger mask, or flying in with propellers or wings, until the last batch, where four Yokai move together to give the appearance of one large creature. In the middle of this, an ominous fog starts appearing, partially obscuring the samurai's view. At one point, they start attacking two at a time, and with more fog. These creatures also appear in [[Samurai Slice (DS)|Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', where the samurai slices their masks off once again. Here, they are shown to be rather squishy, as they get squished upon landing on the ground if the samurai messes up. | ||
In [[Samurai Slice (Wii)|Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the evil spirits are pitch-black creatures with hand-like claws and spiky teeth who cause all kinds of mischief. They create trouble by stealing precious items, such a [[Pinwheel Girl|pinwheel]] and a [[Bunny Man|stuffed bunny]]. [[The Wandering Samurai]] once again appears to vanquish them. These demons either attack the samurai one at a time, within patterns, or in groups. Although they vary in size, with some carrying weapons, they all fall to a single slice. | |||

In [[Super Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the demons resort to kidnapping women. [[The Wandering Samurai]], who is travelling the lands of old to complete his training, <ref>"I am a samurai traveling the lands of old to complete my training." ~ Dialogue in [[Super Samurai Slice]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref> proceeds to slice every demon in his path to rescue the women. The villagers are left confused by the black debris on the ground, as the samurai did not stay for the recognition<ref>"After every full moon, there are piles of this stuff lying all over the village. No one knows that the samurai is saving them, but he doesn't do it for the recognition." ~ [[Monster Debris]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. The village scientists eventually figure out the debris comes from the monsters, and are mystified as the blue pieces are cool to the touch,<ref>"After much research, the village scientists figured out the black debris is from monsters. They're mystified by these blue pieces that are so cool to the touch, though." ~ [[Splash Debris]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref> but they are apparently more difficult to clean up<ref>"黒いヤツは、オバケのカケラだと分かったけど、この青いヤツは、いまだナゾのまま。さわるとヒンヤリしてて、キモチイイ。この青いカケラ、黒いのにくらべて、そうじがタイヘンなもんだから、そうじ係のおきぬ、おこってたよ。" (We found out that the black one is a piece of a monster, but this blue one is still a mystery. When you touch it, it feels nice and tingly. This blue piece is much more difficult to clean than the black one, so the cleaning staff was very upset.) ~ [[Splash Debris|水しぶきのカケラ]] (Splash Pieces), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>. | In [[Super Samurai Slice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the demons resort to kidnapping women.
