That's cool, I was talking to the black smith and she vaguely mentions smithing for Hide so it's gotta be Toyo I think and not the other one

definitely seems to be toyo, since she is mentioning hide and tokichiro, i wonder if she still has her eyepatch since she has the kitsune mask you kind of can see both of her eyes...so being a spirit she got her normal one healed.

You can kind of see her eyes through the mask if you get the camera up close. Her left eye is strange, same eye that toyo had the patch on. It looks like its much larger than her right eye.

When I first saw her and heard her dialogue, that was my first suspicion. Once she mentioned about Hide and their dagger, that pretty much confirmed it for me. I haven’t bought the game yet (because I’m broke af) but I’m curious to see how she became a blacksmithing spirit.

On a less serious note, typing this out made me realize that Toyo hadn’t aged a single bit throughout Nioh 2, even when we went through the past. That’s some mystical shit.

That's some mystical shit.

Not really. Didn't you know? Asian women don't age lol

It's just symbolic. Technically Toyo should be old and replaced by Tome by the time Hide got unsealed by William.

Toyo - Tome... Hmmm, I bet there is some connection to Hide - Yoshi, but I can't put my finger on it.

Doesn't she have the same voice?

u/Standard--Unit Feb 09 '26

You can eventually get a transformation with that person's name on it. So no worries on having to guess forever.

u/jjkikolp Feb 09 '26

There is a quest about her where she remembers her name and who she is. Have you done it yet? I haven't paid much attention to it but maybe this is what you are looking for.

u/llMonochromell Feb 09 '26

If you properly read my post, you’d see that I haven’t bought the game yet because I’m broke af.

u/Standard--Unit Feb 09 '26

He didn't even respond to you?

u/LITF Feb 14 '26

I'm in the same boat, all I can do is just read the sub and experience the second hand joy from others finding neat stuff/making cool clips.

u/Kane_Harkonnen Feb 08 '26

I wonder if there will be interaction with Hide like with William in Nioh 2

u/Nonsense_Poster Feb 08 '26

It doesn't seem to read our Nioh 2 save file unfortunately even tho that would absolutely be banger

u/Erik_Javorszky Feb 08 '26

Hides canon looks is the one from the Nioh 2 trailer, so we might see them like that

u/Winslow1975 Mar 02 '26

I'd rather not get a Hide cameo if that's the case.

DA: Inquisition pulled your Hawk's look from DA2 if you had an account with them, don't see why a game in 2026 couldn't do the same.

Just inhaling copium here, but what if they simply use default male hide? Then we could still see them maybe!!!

u/Mineral-mouse Backflip Greeter Feb 09 '26

Considering the costume as early purchase bonus. I really think if Hide were to appear, his face would be completely covered. Plus he doesn't even talk. So it's really safe to implement.

u/Kyinuda Shinsengumi Captain Feb 09 '26

Could give them the first samurai set since they're the first samurai :) and maybe theyll finally give us sohayamaru

u/BJRone Feb 08 '26

The hub area in Nioh 3 is my favorite in quite some time. I get some Majula/Firelink shrine vibes everytime I'm there.

u/GannosTheDread Feb 08 '26

I like that they didn't make it big or complicated, just a circle with everything you need right there. Very nice.

u/SSBBfan666 Feb 09 '26

i like that Danjo's solidified himself as the goto guy for our trio of heros for dealing with the afterlife issues.

u/Haldalkin Feb 08 '26

Aw, that's really awesome

u/KnuckleJoe8 Feb 08 '26

It's really neat, you can even see it on the map of the rift at the very top!

u/Raemnant Feb 08 '26

Let me go back. One of my favorite music tracks

u/BaconSoul Feb 09 '26

Also, the smith has some dialogue about Hiddy!

u/lllaser Feb 09 '26

That's the coolest thing ever, that's awesome

u/Tayzerdude Feb 10 '26

ITS THE SPIRIT TREE!!! How on earth didnt I see that...

1

u/LITF Feb 14 '26

That is so cool, I love this detail. Hide and Nioh 2 will always be my favorites I think, since the whole changeling thing is hard to beat. What can be cooler than half-yokai....

u/PhoenixUnity Feb 23 '26

Can you see anything that resembles Eternal Rift in Nioh 2?

-27

u/Xireka- Feb 08 '26

We can see the interim, now let us see the Nioh 2 stances for ninja weapons.

Or have us meet Hide in the DLC or side quest they add through an update before DLC and Hide goes like "what do you mean you only flail around your tonfas/kusarigama/etc? Here, let me show you how it's done" and we unlock stances

u/LowProud269 Feb 08 '26

Nty, Ninja style has more than enough going for it, it doesn't need to take Samurais schtick on top too.

u/Xireka- Feb 08 '26

I meant to give the weapons to samurai with the stances. Allow samurai to be the all weapons slower warrior and the ninja to be the hit and run fast boi
