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 is a giant Humanoid Octarian with a black leather jacket. Its Octocycle is a giant roller that looks similar to a motorcycle while part of it resembling a katana.

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 attemp 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 splatter. 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 splatterized three times the Octocycle will inksplode, leaving the splattered Octarian to respawn elsewhere in defeat.

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.

Trivia
