''Onimusha'' ("Oni warrior") is a series of action-adventure games by Creator/{{Capcom}} [[{{Jidaigeki}} set in feudal Japan]] released primarily for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. The story begins with infamous real life Japanese warlord UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga being felled by an arrow in the midst of one of his greatest triumphs. However, Nobunaga's skill and brutality had already caught the eye of Fortinbras, the king of the Genma, (various types of demons that feast on humans) who offers a deal to Nobunaga: he can come back to life if he agrees to conquer Japan on behalf of the Genma demon clan and turn it into, in effect, a massive feeding ground. Nobunaga accepts, and events get off and running.

* BittersweetEnding: The Genma are stopped but [[spoiler:virtually everyone is dead. The only proven survivor is Sayo, who still has the baseball-sized gold nugget that started the whole mess in the first place, allowing her to live in comfort for some time. Musashi's fate is unknown.]]

* GoldFever: The story centers around a backwater copper mining village that just struck gold. The local lord sought to set up the mine secretly, only for the samurai he sent to oversee the project to decide to claim the gold for himself to fund his own ambitions, knowing that his lord can't seek assistance from his allies or the shogun without admitting that he had been running a secret gold mine without providing the shogun his fair share of the proceeds (which is why the effort to reclaim the mine from Iemon and his Genma servants is left to Musashi's small party). And it's also mentioned that the only reason the miners reported the strike to their lord instead of attempting the same thing is that they couldn't figure out a way to spend the gold without drawing attention to themselves.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Sayo was the one to find the initial gold deposit, setting the whole story in motion.
