Jiao, a simple name.

But behind that name, there is a man who is not so simple…

The names of the demon generals under Orochi mostly come from monsters in myths and legends. For example, "Kin-ki, Sui-ki, Fu-ki, On-gui"… are the four oni used by Fujiwara no Chikata in the *Taiheiki*; Xianli, Zhutunshe, Feitouman, etc., are monsters from Chinese legends; and there are also Itsunoman, Tesso, Onmoraki, Inugami Gyoubu, Kerakeraonna, and so on… a whole bunch of Japanese monsters.

Among this group of people, Jiao can be considered relatively special. His name appears in books such as *Shuyi Ji*, *Shan Hai Jing*, and *Yunhui*. He is also the only demon general in Orochi's camp whose name consists of only one character.

But… his "specialness" is limited to this.

Because he is not a *Musou* warrior, but a "generic warrior," or rather… an "extra."

He is called a "generic face" because his character image is not unique, and many other demon generals use the exact same character model as him. And he is called an "extra," of course, because of his extremely high appearance rate and extremely low sense of presence…

Perhaps few people know that Jiao's identity is… "leader of the demon army."

You read that right… the leader of the demon army is not Orochi, but Jiao. To put it in perspective, Orochi is the "lord," Da Ji is the "strategist," and Jiao… is equivalent to the "great general."

Admittedly, Orochi once had many fierce generals under his command. Figures like Lu Bu, Maeda Keiji, and Fuuma Kotaro… all served Orochi at one time. Among the many *Musou* warriors, these few were also rare existences.

However… they never shook Jiao's position.

So, the question is… why is that? What are Jiao's strengths? Let's see what happens next time, *Three Days Two Sleeps Reviews Musou*… uh…

Okay, I'll write it now…

Although he doesn't have an exclusive appearance, exclusive weapons, or even an exclusive voice actor, Jiao-daren used his efforts to show us the bumpy road from a [beep] generic face to the leader of the demon army.

Let's review… Jiao's admirable (demon? monster?) life resume.

First of all, his origin… Jiao appeared as early as the first generation of *Musou Orochi*. But everything about him seems to be a mystery… apart from being "brought into the Immortal Realm by Da Ji," everything else is unknown. His mysterious temperament is evident, making him a veritable man of the wind.

Secondly, let's look at his war exploits…

After entering the Immortal Realm with Da Ji, Jiao participated in the "Five Elements Mountain Rescue Battle" to lift Orochi's seal. In this battle, Jiao took the lead and acted as the vanguard of the demon army, killing the generic faces of the Immortal Realm so badly that they lost their helmets, abandoned their armor, and were utterly defeated.

In the end, under Jiao's active performance, Da Ji successfully rescued Orochi, who was formerly "General Yinglong of the Immortal Realm Army." It can be said that without Jiao, there would be no entire story of *Musou Orochi*…

And after Orochi broke the seal and left the Immortal Realm, Jiao made even more outstanding military exploits and made many meritorious contributions.

As a tall, upright, short and fat man, he was extremely loyal to Orochi. Although his strength was insufficient, he still went through fire and water, working tirelessly… In countless battles with the heroes of the Three Kingdoms and Warring States periods, we can see Jiao's vigorous figure. His classic line when he fled after defeat: "You just keep struggling…" is also deeply engraved in the hearts of every *Musou* hero, like a nightmare.

Not long after… a severe challenge appeared in front of Jiao.

When the Orochi army swept away the forces of the Three Kingdoms and Warring States periods with a destructive force, the fierce warriors of the Immortal Realm came one after another to hunt down this "escapee."

The Battle of the Fire River (the final battle of Orochi's forces in *Musou Orochi-z*, Orochi's army vs. the Immortal Realm army) kicked off…

In this battle, facing the disparity in military strength, Jiao remained calm and fought bravely… and successfully repelled the attack of the Immortal Realm army together with Orochi and Da Ji.

After this battle, Jiao became famous and well-known throughout the Three Realms, and no one did not feel frightened upon hearing his name.

However, good times don't last long. Da Ji-jiang has seen through everything… Because she was worried that Jiao would shake her position, this vixen suggested to Orochi to conduct a "mock battle" in Baidi City in order to provoke the friendship between Orochi and Jiao.

The result of this battle… ended with Jiao being instantly killed. Although Jiao lost, his admirable spirit of "daring to challenge King Orochi" became a legend in the demon army, laying the groundwork for the subsequent "demon rebellion war."

After the mock battle in Baidi City, after a period of time, the *Musou* warriors scattered all over the place recuperated and reorganized, and finally killed their way back to the foot of Gu Zhisheng, blowing the horn of the "Decisive Battle of Gu Zhisheng."

In the unfavorable situation of the army's imminent collapse, Jiao single-handedly guarded the north gate of Gu Zhisheng, and fought against the joint army composed of "Wei, Shu, Wu, Zhang Jiao, Oda, Uesugi, Takeda, Shima Sakon, Minamoto no Yoritomo, Lu Bu, Honda, and the Three Immortals of the Immortal Realm," holding the pass alone, with no one able to break through!

Unfortunately… Orochi's army was ultimately defeated. Before "True Orochi" was resurrected, the real power of the demon army fell into the hands of Taira no Kiyomori and Da Ji.

Because he couldn't stand the arrogant behavior of the two, Jiao finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised the flag of rebellion, and established himself as king.

For a time… Shuten-doji, Ushi-oni, Momome, and other fierce demon generals were all inspired by Jiao's personal charisma and joined his command…

Finally, after experiencing many hardships and tests… Orochi was resurrected.

Upon hearing this news, the loyal Jiao resolutely disbanded the Jiao army and rejoined Orochi's camp, willingly remaining subordinate.

Helplessly… under the encirclement and suppression of many *Musou* heroes, True Orochi was defeated again. After that, the fox demon Tamamo-no-Mae tried to use the resurrection of Orochi as a guise to incorporate the remnants of the demon army for her own use. Some demons, led by Da Ji, were fooled, but only Jiao kept himself clean and refused to collude with the fox demon, making him a paragon of gentlemen among demons.

Now, Orochi has been resurrected again, becoming the strongest in history… Trans-spatial, hyperdimensional, true, super, extremely, *Musou*, invincible Orochi.

Returning to the front of the lord's camp, what kind of legend will Jiao-daren, as the most present generic face in the demon army, write?

…………

On the desolate plain, in the rocky hills.

Two proud figures stood facing each other.

Sword King Twelve Regrets held his twin swords, his majestic sword energy revealing an extraordinary sword realm.

Jiao stood with his spear, his thick demonic energy showing his Heavenly Human cultivation.

"What's wrong? Come on, this daddy is standing here, and I don't mind letting you have three moves." Seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking for the time being, Jiao provoked.

His attitude was extremely calm, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately mystifying… on the contrary, it was like he was confident.

"Arrogant demon army… today, I will let you see my way of the sword!" Sword King Twelve Regrets was also a straightforward person, and although he would not be angered by verbal provocation, he would not allow the enemy to clamor there.

As soon as he finished speaking…

Killing intent arrived, and fighting spirit appeared.

Sword King Twelve Regrets furiously activated his true essence, and in an instant, Xun Wind, Earth Ridge, Wu Chi, Wu Xuan… four swords came out together, a move called "Breaking the Waves with the Wind," suddenly launched.

His ultimate move was intended to be a quick victory.

On the other side… just as the sword energy pressed down, Jiao's eyes sharpened, and the spear in his hand responded.

"Ordinary Spin Attack!" The next second, Jiao shouted out his move name, and raised his spear in front of him, spinning it at high speed.

Although his move name was not worth mentioning compared to the opponent's, his combat power was real. But seeing… the spear spun in his hand like a helicopter rotor, it was simply an airtight round shield.

None of the four swords wrapped in sharp sword energy could break through this layer of defense.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Tan, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and was surprised: "This fatty is going against the heavens… is it really okay for you to be this strong as an extra?"

At the same time, Brother Jue, who was hiding in the shadows further away, was also thinking: "What's going on with this script… isn't this even more outrageous than Nightmare Difficulty… the generic faces in Orochi's army are so terrifying… wouldn't Orochi himself be able to blow up planets in minutes?"
