Ohh, there's blood. You just need to get to Orochi.
And btw, yes, Okami had blood. It looked like fire, though. Remember all the "fire" from Orochi in Okami? Yeah, that was blood.
And I just beat Okamiden's English version, so good with the emotional endings... ;w;
Great game, but no where near as great as Okami was imo.
*Oh, and, yes. xD I think they made up most of the characters in Okamiden, as I see them no where in Shinto mythology. And I would know.. I'm Japanese, and I've studied Shinto forever. ;P*
