    That was a brilliant tier list! But now I would like to show my personal ranking on all Nioh 2 bosses!
    43: Gyuki
    Complete trash boss fight. Locking onto it's legs is a decent way to destroy them but it's also a bad strategy because you can get hit by this fat fuck during the leg beatdown. He looks like if every unclean person's search history combined itself with a frog and a bat and turned into an unholy being with a crappy fight. Worst one in the game IMO.
    42: Tsuchigumo
    Now, just because I like this Spiderman knock-off more than Gyuki, it doesn't mean I like him. He goes a major distance when he does a combo, I'm pretty sure his one burst counterable attack breaks your Ki and still hits you which is obvious garbage, and topped with the fact that he can't even be slowed, it basically makes this fight a living nightmare, ESPECIALLY if you have a slow build (Idk why you would wanna make that, but my imagination goes crazy sometimes).
    41: Maeda Toshiie
    This guy's at least cool and I actually like him, unlike the other two. Yet I find him to be the most BROKEN human boss aside from Ren, especially in Ruin Draws Near. It's a shame, considering he's one of my favorite human bosses.
    41: Magara Naotaka
    I also really enjoy this fight, as well as farming him sometimes for his Odachi skill. The only thing that makes him low tier is how forgettable the fight is. Unless you've got no parka, this fight is easily winnable as long as you play it safe. Sorry, Naotaka!
    40: Nue
    Coming as my final bottom 5 is Nue, the Ayuwoki of Nioh. I do enjoy the fight, but the only problem with him is that he was already in Nioh 1, and since he shows up in the DLC rather than early game, and since the DLC is only unlockable after you beat Otakemaru, he's not that difficult. The only thing they slightly changed about him is that he has new yet burst counterable attacks, and I think his lightning comes slower than Nioh 1. Anyways, decent boss, yet screwed due to him being DLC.
    39: White Tiger.
    He's basically another version of Nue; comes from the DLC (only difference being the second instead of the first), already from Nioh 1, and some sort of animal, this time being a transformed Nekomata. He basically acts the same as his Nioh 1 form, his only difference probably being his burst counterable moves and purity-imbuing laser. Overall, a nice return yet still the same.
    38: Gozuki & Mezuki.
    Gozuki is good all on his own. Mezuki is also good, technically being a slightly upgraded Gozuki. Both of them though? It's a tag team of destruction! ..literally, they launch rocks from the floor and stuff at you. This is also a forgettable fight, just barely passing Nioh 1's bosses down here.
    37: Saika Magoichi.
    This mf likes hiding behind both his bird/parrot Guardian Spirit thing and his rifle. So, usually, if he begins shooting you, fight projectile with projectile! If he starts throwing bombs or starts shooting you like he's in a Call of Duty match, throw some kunai or magic shots at him like CoD had a Ninja Gaiden/Nioh crossover! Long-range weapons such as a mid-stance odachi or the Tiger Fists skill for claws work well against him too.
    36: Daidara Bocchi.
    This mission is a total NIGHTMARE. You have difficult Yokai left, right and center, a mountain you need to climb filled with boulders and a surprise Red Kappa, Hachisuka Koroku as a mini-boss, as well as much more. Yet with such a brutal level, you'd expect the boss to be difficult like Lightning Gods or Yoshitsune, right? Nope! Now you just gotta play Nail Salon Simulator with Daidara Bocchi! The only thing that brings this fight down is the sheer easiness it has. It's DEPRESSINGLY easy!
    35: Ashiya Doman.
    I'm gonna count both him and Lightning Gods as seperate bosses, especially due to the fact Lightning Gods not only has a different soundtrack, but also has a checkpoint to buff and such before Doman performs the Valiant Hero ending but Charles comes back as a hot lightning Waifu. So, about Doman, other than his Ki Burst talisman he can cast, he isn't really a threat. He's basically a Ki waster at best, and at worst, he's still basically the same. You know, for the man that went rogue on the world and unleashed a shit ton of Yokai including the Lightning Gods of Yomi and Tsuchigumo, as well as almost owned Yorimitsu, I expected this guy to put up much more of a fight.
    34: Lady Osakabe.
    This fight is easy, technically speaking as someone who has experience with Yamata-no-Orochi from the first game. Osakabe is basically just if Yamata-no-Orochi became a furry. 😂
    But yeah, aside from her pelting multiple elements at you, you can take her down relatively quickly.
    33: William.
    YOUR BRITISH BOI MAKES A COMEBACK! ..is what I thought before actually having to face William. Aside from the Living Weapon buff, he's again, nothing special. Sure, he can be fast but that also means if he runs quickly, that's basically bringing down his Ki. The Saiorse geyser is useless and mostly dogshit, as well as the fact that you need to only get him down to 25%-ish HP. Team Ninja really did William dirty.
    32: Imagawa Yoshimoto.
    His only defense is staying back and shooting his arrows like a sniper in..Idk, real life? As well as his elephant buff and his heavy armor, causing him to poise right through the attacks, he's easy.
    31: Saito Toshimitsu.
    I swear to all that is holy, if he casts ANOTHER Onmyo Magic spell, I'm going to go insane. He has similar tactics to Yoshimoto; such as heavy armor and staying back to fire projectiles. Only thing different?? He's even more unforgiving! Like, damn, when you're beyond 50% health you don't have to do that FUCKING BURST COUNTERABLE SLASH!! Calm the hell down, Toshimitsu!
    30: Tate Eboshi.
    This is personal, but Idk why the fandom likes her so much. She is literally one of the most BROKEN fights I have EVER had the displeasure of facing. Because of her war with me, I have to rank her around the 30s. The unbelievable BS that I have to endure while fighting her is absolutely criminal.
    29: Yatsu-no-Kami.
    Good soundtrack, decent boss, shitty mechanic in my opinion. You have to cut off its snake-arms before they come off in the Dark Realm. Idk if it's just me, but I don't really like this mechanic. Mainly due to the fact that it can keep tailwhipping if you destroy even ONE of it's arms. Not too hard of a fight, but the mechanic is cancer.
    Since I forgot what some of the fights have to offer, I'll edit this later! W video! :D

    You really have to work on your pronunciations and your sound mixing. Half of the time you can't understand what youre saying because you're slurring your words and/or the game sound is way too loud.

    Gyuki is the worst Boss in Nioh2 hands down.
    All the worst aspects of oversized bosses + a few more and basically no redeeming qualities.
