FAQ

Where do you change outfits?
Select Change Appearance from the Spirit Mirror menu, per Capcom's official DLC notes. Spirit Mirrors and the Change Appearance option unlock separately as the game progresses.
How do the Lion Dog sword skins work?
Every six Lion Dog rescues earns the next sword skin: Sakurahime at 6, Shishioh at 12, Myogo at 18, Ura-giri at 24, Mooncrossed at 30, and Kikoku at all 36 — which also completes the For the Love of Dog trophy.
Do outfits carry over into New Game+?
Yes. Cosmetics are on every published carry-over list — including the Panda and Wataru-kun costumes — even though gear enhancement levels reset. The New Game+ guide has the full carry and reset tables.
What cosmetics are in the Steam Deluxe and Premium editions?
Per Steam package data: the Deluxe Kit holds Musashi's Red Armor outfit, four sword appearances, the Crimson Lotus gauntlet skin and three charms; the Premium Kit holds three haori, three Okuni outfits, three Oni Lady outfits and a mini soundtrack.
What is in the Early Adopter Bonus?
A Sealed Curse sword appearance and a Lion Dog charm, per IGN, GameRant and Siliconera — those are the only itemized items. It runs until September 25, 2026, 4:59 PM PDT per Capcom's July 2 announcement.

This page collects every outfit and cosmetic unlock documented for Onimusha: Way of the Sword — story rewards, side-content milestones, edition and DLC packs — and where you equip them. For the paid-DLC crossover outfits specifically, see the Monster Hunter Rise collaboration page; for edition pricing, the pre-order and editions page.

Where do you change outfits?

“You can change outfits by selecting Change Appearance from the Spirit Mirror menu in-game” — Capcom’s official note, quoted on our MHR collab page. Two practical caveats from the same note: outfits are cosmetic only (“they do not alter the character’s performance in battle”), and Change Appearance unlocks separately from the mirrors themselves as the story progresses.

One disambiguation before the lists: IGN also uses “Clothing” for a gear enhancement category — the clothing levels that Fine Silk Cloths max out for the Dressed to Kill trophy (see the upgrade materials guide). That system is separate from the cosmetic Clothing below.

Musashi’s sword skins

Sword skinUnlock condition
No NameDefault — “unlocked from the start for all players”
SakurahimeRescue 6 Lion Dogs
ShishiohRescue 12 Lion Dogs
MyogoRescue 18 Lion Dogs
Ura-giriRescue 24 Lion Dogs
MooncrossedRescue 30 Lion Dogs
KikokuRescue all 36 Lion Dogs
Sealed CursePre-order bonus, also granted as the Early Adopter Bonus (see below)
White LionUnresolved: IGN says “buy either the Premium or Premium Deluxe edition”, but Steam package data puts no such sword in any edition and no such DLC exists — treat this row as unverified

The Lion Dog ladder is two-source in practice: IGN’s conditions match the sword-skin milestones in PowerPyx’s data on our Lion Dog locations page. The four paid sword appearances (Bamboo & Panda, Enryuu, Raizan, Whittled Oar) live in the Deluxe Kit, listed below.

Musashi’s haori coats

The two Carnage-tier haori are New Game+ content by definition — Carnage only unlocks after a first completion, as the difficulty settings page explains. Three more haori (Cloudbiter, Hellfire, Moonlight) are Premium Kit items, below.

Editions and paid DLC outfits

Steam’s package data itemizes the digital editions exactly (read September 18, 2026; each of the 19 kit contents is also sold as its own standalone $19.99 DLC, while the combined Premium Deluxe Kit bundle runs $29.99):

PackPriceContents
Deluxe Kit$19.99Outfit for Musashi: Red Armor; Sword Appearances: Bamboo & Panda, Enryuu, Raizan, Whittled Oar; Oni Gauntlet: Crimson Lotus; Charms: Little Dancer, Mentor, Oni Lady
Premium Kit$19.99Haori: Cloudbiter, Hellfire, Moonlight; Outfits for Okuni: Flower Dance, Goldfish Dance, Oni Dance; Outfits for the Oni Lady: Bird Call, Elegance, Snow Camellia; In-Game Mini Digital Soundtrack
Premium Deluxe Kit$29.99All 19 items above combined

The Deluxe Edition ($79.99) and Premium Deluxe Edition ($89.99) of the game include the matching kits; standard-edition buyers can add any of the three kits afterwards. Note that IGN attributes the edition swords and some haori differently — this page follows Steam’s package data, where the four swords sit in the Deluxe Kit and the Premium Kit holds no swords at all.

Steam’s DLC descriptions also confirm outfits are per-character — each names its wearer (“A gallant outfit for Miyamoto Musashi”, “for the Oni Lady that supports Miyamoto Musashi”, “for Izumo no Okuni”). In published sources, the Oni Lady and Okuni have no in-game-unlockable outfits: their sets exist only as DLC.

The free DLC outfits

Two outfit DLCs are free downloads, both released September 6, 2026: Outfit for the Oni Lady: Hinoa and Outfit for Okuni: Yomogi’s Dance — the Monster Hunter Rise collaboration items. Download, claim at a Spirit Mirror, equip via Change Appearance: the full walkthrough is on the MHR collab page. A free Materials Pack: Red Souls I shipped alongside the launch DLC wave but contains no cosmetics.

The Early Adopter Bonus, itemized

The pre-order bonus became an Early Adopter Bonus available to all buyers until September 25, 2026, 4:59 PM PDT (Capcom’s July 2 announcement — IGN prints September 24, a discrepancy this page resolves in Capcom’s favor). Three sources itemize its contents identically:

  • Sealed Curse — a sword appearance for Musashi (hence its place in the sword-skin table above)
  • Lion Dog charm — a charm item

Those are the only verified items; no source lists anything else in the bonus. Separately, playing the pre-launch demo granted a Kubi Akari charm. The pre-order and editions page carries the full edition breakdown.

How complete is this list?

Honesty notes: IGN’s page — the only in-game source — is a self-declared work in progress, and no source has published a total outfit count. The lists above are “every unlock documented as of September 14, 2026 (IGN) and September 18, 2026 (Steam)”, not a promise of completeness. One more cosmetic exists beyond this page’s scope: beating every Boss Rematch opponent on Carnage unlocks what IGN calls “the final costume” — that story is told on the New Game+ and post-game page.
