Oshima Goketsuji (豪血寺 お志摩, Gouketsuji Oshima) is a character designed for the Power Instinct game series. While she was a playable character from the start, she was the sub-boss of the first game she had appeared in, due to her role in the story at the time. After Legends, she has not appeared in another game in the series since.
Oshima is unique in that the CPU would pick her in an orange and green color attire that was unselectable by the player. This palette swap became selectable in Power Instinct Legends.
According to an interview with the development team of Goketsuji Ichizoku 2, her design was inspired on Lady Miyako from the anime film Akira
About Oshima[]
Part of the third Goketsuji generation. Since an early age, showed uncommon abilities for a little girl. She spent 15 years of her life studying and training martial arts in the mountains, later she begun her labor as shrine maiden.
One day, while visiting an antique shop of a friend of her family, Oshima accidentally spilled water over an old map and it begun to disintegrate, revealing a hidden secret on it. The secret revealed the localization of hidden treasures all around Tokugawa, and so with the help of her supernatural abilities, Oshima and her family begun their journey to find all the treasures.
As the time went by the Goketsuji became one of the wealthiest families in Japan, eventually in the world. Due to the fortune that the family obtained thanks to Oshima, she was chosen to be the leader of the family. As the fortune of the Goketsuji family increased, also did the greed between it's members.
Being the leader, and to encourage the competitive spirit in her relatives, she established the code of the family, in which one of it's orders gave the opportunity to any person related to the family to take control of the family fortune through the participation in a martial arts tournament that would be celebrated every five years in a family reunion.
Oshima herself was the leader of the family for many years, but finally, she was defeated by her young daughter, Oume, in the 4th Goketsuji Tournament. This was a huge humiliation for Oshima, and one day after the tournament, she just disappeared without a trace. For many years, it was unknown if she was dead or alive, but after 70 years of her last participation in the tournament, she returned with a plan to regain the control of the Goketsuji clan.
Aside of the clairvoyance, one of Oshima´s unusual skills is using her hair as weapon, the length of it is 66 cm and it can get hard enough to destroy a rock with just one swip.
Status[]
Along with Sahad Asran Ryuto, Oshima hasn't returned as playable character since Goketsuji Legends. When it was revealed that she wasn't present in Shin Goketsuji Ichizoku Toukon Matrimelee, the development team explained that she didn't show up for the tournament because she had problems with arrhythmia and lumbago. Her last appearance was in Groove on Fight as a cameo as one of Oume & Otane's special attacks, in which a large version of Oshima falls on the opponent's head.
Unlike Ryuto, who returned in CR Goketsuji Ichizoku Oshima didn't showed up in the game, but acording to a dialogue between two Kurokos in CR- Goketsuji Ichizoku, she is believed to be alive but confined into a shrine where only Oume have access. The Kurokos believe that she is alive because Oume's cruelty hasn't been so prominent lately and apparently, only Oshima can maintain Oume's rage under control.
