10 Video Game Characters Fans LOVE (That You Never See)
6. Tomoe - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Lady Tomoe is a legendary figure in the lore of Sekiro that only appears in reference and brief notes left throughout the game’s world. She is Japan’s greatest samurai, who discovered a way to wield the power of lightning in her fighting technique and eventually taught this skill to Genichiro, the story’s primary antagonist.
Not much is known about Tomoe, and there are no images or even physical descriptions of her in-game, aside from one note comparing her eyes to “the depths of the ocean,” but the sheer presence that exudes from the tales about her skills and power has been enough to make the game’s community become infatuated with her.
After all, Sekiro, like every other FromSoftware game, is a game about overcoming powerful enemies, and someone wielding the title of the greatest swordswoman to have ever walked the earth would be the pinnacle of this sort of challenge.
That’s why Lady Tomoe can boast of having so much fan art and discussion threads talking about how amazing it would be to encounter her in the game. After all, the one thing FromSoftware fans love the most is the prospect of getting destroyed in a ridiculously hard boss fight.
