Octo Samurai

''

The Octo Samurai is the second Octo Boss encountered by Agent 4 in Octo Canyon.

Background
The Octo Samurai is an Octo Boss that was trained to wield its own Great Octoweapon, the Octocycle. Its mission was to have a traditional duel against Agent 4 in Suction-Cup Lookout.

Description
The Octo Samurai resembles an Octoling but much larger in size and more masculine. The Octo Samurai has a heavyweight and round body that is similar to as a sumo wrestler, has small eyes, and sports a tentacle on the back of his head in a ponytail. He wears a black leather motorcycle jacket with golden embroidery on the sides and a print of DJ Octavio on the back. He carries a weapon that is similar to a Dynamo Roller that can change positions vertically or horizontally to the handle, and can combine with his unicycle to form a vehicle which Sheldon calls "The Octocycle".

Octo Canyon
The Octo Samurai is first seen in Suction-Cup Lookout in its own mission. It will rise out of a puddle of ink with its Roller and starts the battle. His tactic is to rather splash the roller at the hero or attempt to run them over. If Agent 4 is able to splat him then the Octocycle will open up to reveal the tentacle for 4 to splat. After this, the samurai will respawn with some new tricks up its sleeve. He will now be able to jump at the Agent with a vertical swing, and can also swing the roller around in a circle. In phase 3 he will be able to cause a wave of ink to come straight at 4 from a distance. After the tentacle has been splatted three times the Octocycle will inksplode, leaving the splatted Octarian with nowhere to respawn, therefore letting Agent 4 collect the Sardinium and the Zapfish, therefore allowing them to complete the mission.

Octo Expansion
In the Octo Expansion, the Octo Samurai returns in the Whack-Fu Station. He has all the same moves he had with his fight with Agent 4 but this time is trying to knock Agent 8 (who is in a Baller) off the platform instead of Splatting them directly. After the Octocycle's tentacle has been splattered three times, it will explode with the Octo Samurai once again defeated.
