VERIFIED OFFICIAL FACTS
The confirmed demo-save reward
Capcom’s official release announcement says players who keep save data from the Onimusha: Way of the Sword demo can claim a Kubi Akari charm for use in the full game. This is a reward tied to retaining demo save data; the announcement does not describe it as a completed campaign carryover or a separate paid edition item.
- Keep the demo save data
- The named reward is the Kubi Akari charm
- The charm is for use in the full game
- The source does not publish a damage number, complete effect formula or universal unlock screen
VERIFIED OFFICIAL FACTS
Demo progress does not become full-game progress
The same Capcom announcement makes the boundary explicit: it is not possible to continue from demo save data in the base game, and the demo differs from the full release in some respects. The save’s documented value is the reward eligibility, not transferred character state, equipment, story position or performance data.
- Do not expect the retail game to resume the demo checkpoint
- Do not claim demo equipment transfers unless Capcom names it
- Treat demo balance and controls as a historical learning reference
- Use the full-game guide for current systems and patches
VERIFIED OFFICIAL FACTS
Kubi Akari versus other charm decisions
The reward confirms that Kubi Akari is a charm, but the cited announcement does not provide enough mechanics to rank it against other charms or call it mandatory. A responsible build guide should separate “officially named reward” from measured performance conclusions and check the active release build before making a recommendation.
- Claim the bonus before judging its value
- Keep it separate from sword appearances, which Capcom describes as cosmetic
- Do not assume a demo reward makes a Deluxe edition redundant
- Use official edition pages for confirmed bundle contents
VERIFIED OFFICIAL FACTS
Safe verification before changing or deleting data
- Keep the original demo save in place until the reward is confirmed
- Check the official launch and support news for any amended redemption instruction
- Record platform and account if the charm does not appear
- Avoid deleting demo or full-game data to force a reward check
- Report the exact platform, account state and launch version through official support
