Okami: Nine-tail's Battle Theme (extended) 

the fact that you meet ninetails the same way you do with the other brush gods, and where you fight in the world where you meet those gods, just shows how powerful the fox became.

The tsuki-kitsune, or ghost fox, either possesses a woman's body or creates a body of it's own. The fox is neither described as a man nor woman, but it's usual victims are, in fact, women. Amaterasu, according to legend, brought down Orochi with her to engage in combat. But Kamiki Village was nearby, and Orochi, every 100 years, terrorized the village and threatened to wipe them off the face of Nippon. After he was defeated, his body was split into 4 beings, Ninetails was one of them.

everyone envies the guy whose job it is to shout YOOOOOOOOOOOO

The sword on Kyuubi's mouth, it's a Seven Branched Sword, used for ceremonial purposes, it originated in Korea but was implemented into Japanese culture as well.

In Japanese lore, foxes, which are known as kitsune, can transform into either male or female humans regardless of the actual gender of the fox. And on a side note, the number of tales represents age, wisdom and power for foxes and the maximum number a fox can have is nine.

I love Ninetails as one of the primarily antagonists. He's just so evil and so cool, I mean look at him, he's a false god, he's got an awsome mask, a sword, and nine brush-like tails that paint with red ink/or maybe blood? I mean, he beats the hell out of a lot of nowdays videogame antagonists.

I remember hearing somewhere that a Ninetails, once having reached nine tails, is supposed to get more powerful as they LOSE their tails, eventually hitting one and becoming a Kyuubi. Instead, what we get is a sad, pathetic fox demon that just doesn't know when it's beat.

Kyuubi before Naruto

this part of the game is my favorite it's so Epic, From the moment when you meet Rao and all the way to the fight with Nine tails.

This is TRULY the most intense song for an Okami boss! It's really amazing!

This game is just PERFECT! *.* Ninetails ( Kyubi in France :p ) Yami, Kushinada, Susano, Oki, Shiranui, Issun....... and mainly Amaterasu : they are all great characters. Music are beautifull....... This game is perfect, I love Okami ! :D

For anyone that ever wanted to avenge both Queen Himiko and the actual Rao that was killed, this too is your battle theme.

This game is underrated. Smh. It has great plot, background music and oh what a view!

this song is my most favorite in the game of okami and ninetailes is my most favorite boss in the game

Maybe Ninetails was a spirit. In some Japanese folklore stories kitsune were fox spirits; some were beneficial to people and to nature, but most kitsune were mischievous. Ninetails could be based off from Tamamo no Mae' because both kitsune were just pure evil shape shifters. Thanks for uploading this track btw,

Ninetails has elements in his design that hint at his true nature. Notice how all but one of his tails has a kitsune mask? The masked ones are actually the foxes in the fox rods. His real tail is the centermost one with beads on it.

I have the artbook and Ninetail's bestiary entry said that he was a boy, but i call Ninetails an it.

I thought the constellation was just another brush god. Then I saw the silhouette of the "god" itself, and I knew what I was in for.

I love ninetails so when i saw ninetails okami i got curious...

this for some reason,is one of the most iconic boss fights

I’ve played this game at least a hundred times and whenever I hear this particular theme..I still get very excited. My forgetful self tends to do a happy dance while kicking ass.

THANK YOU! OMG YOU ARE THE BEST! Thank you for extending it. :3

this year i got really intersted into japanese mythology, so i thought i should try out okami. now i herd this i defintaly need to play it.

this is AMAZING!!!!!!

when you hear EEEOOOOOO S*** it about to go DOWN

If you know every mythological reference the game has, it makes the game very interesting. Also try Okamiden for the DS afterwards.

Creepy bell... Then awesomeness appears and gives this song a boost!

Every time someone says nineties I immediately refer back to Okam, Ninetails, and this music.

i think issun reffered to ninetail as a she because most of his action used rhao body. the gender of ninetail itself isnt really specified but it does seem very at ease to act very feminine

Indeed.

This is the song that made me get this game

i think his brush is called the infernal brush

NINETAILS AND NINE-TAILS ARE BOTH AWESOME

ninetails is the best boss ever

this if my favorite boss music!!!!!!!!!!!! i just love ninetails

Oh yes please do put up a link >////< I love this battle theme ^^

I love you ninetails

Definitely my favorite Okami boss. It felt like a fight between equally matched rivals, like Mario vs. Sonic.

Ninetails has no gender. It's a collab of different souls trapped in the tails, both men and women alike. As for the original eyeless fox, we will probably never know. I'd have to say male due to the large size, but that's just me.

Tamamo-no-Mae has been unleashed on the world… this is her boss theme

Lets have Okami Ninetails fight against RE Albert Wesker since they are both in capcom 😂😂

It's cool how they gave Kyuubi the Shichishitō.

When you’re in a Raid battle with the Pokemon Ninetails in Pokémon SwSh and or Pokémon SV.

I almost died of a nostalgia attack

never got to play the game too much but was excited by the tittle (usually Okami refered to "Inari Okami" also refered to as "Oinari" was a Kitsune/Fox god of rice, craftmanship, etc... but found out it was a wolf instead which confused me, but still looks like a good game, hopefully I can try it out soon lmao, least 9 tails was based on Tamamonomae, and has a really sick theme apparently =3. And to be honest Inari I believe had 1000 tails , as it was the "mother" of their creation. There are also hints and other myths that claim Tamamonomae had 1000 tails from consuming the souls of emperors as well. Though those tend to be fairly hard to find even on the internet = /

EEEYYOOOOOOOOOOOOO

1 year later, nope still not there

thats what I thought :Y

2 years later...no download link

Yea him being a Navi like character he has his annoying moments. He has better moments trust me.

Aeeee, alguém que pensa como eu ;D

it is there look in the description -_-

Iyooooooooo

Or Red vs. Blue.....wait....they're not equal

oki so right now i have 1 Star Mystic 1 Star Mega Dark Cacao not good, but not bad

NGL this is probably the one boss where they REALLY should've just stuck with calling it "Kyubi"; renaming it to "Ninetails" is gonna cause people to mix it up with Ninetales the Pokemon. @_@

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUHH! Just beat Ninetails yesterday! On mah PS3!

I looked up the info on nine tails because I heard it is female or male and it is actually a male.

I love this song of nine tails battle theme from okami because it remains me of my shadow form ready for battle with my friends to get me free from the control of it also I like it because it so calm to listening and thinking of something it so cool and awesome as the same time❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gimme link please.

They actually refer to Ninetails as a female multiple in the game, but I I agree with you that she...he...whatever...IT, is male

guys ninetails doesn't have an official gender stop arguing about it

isn't ninetails rao?

Looks like a piñata with a clown mask

actually I am sure its a female

I came here thinking this was a naruto ost 💀💀

What will happen if Okami Ninetails fight against Pennywise since they are both evil shape shifters

he is a male

Naruto.

i wathced gameplay/ only thing that is keeping me from it is issun, i find him very annoying

Isnt ninetales a chick

nine tales takes the form of a woman in the game but that doesnt make it a her some people think its a boy i think its just a IT thats what i am calling it its probably a non gender creature considering it isnt really that much of a living thing we all remember how amaterasu came along. susano awakes orochi and since shiranui is dead amaterasu comes as his spirit. so why cant nine tails be an off spring of orochi or something he does have nine tails
