Power Instinct 2

Otane Goketsuji (豪血寺 お種, Gouketsuji Otane) is a character from the Power Instinct franchise. In Japan the kanji "お"(O) is used as a way to talk more formally to a woman, being the real names of the twins Ume and Tane, being that the way that the twins were called in Matrimelee, but this was not the first time that their names were written like that. In the CD game of Goketsuji Ichizoku 2 for Playstation, exploring through the files can be seen that the archives for Otane, Oume and Annie are named Tane, Ume and Anny. Strangely Otane was recolored with her sister's colors from the previous games. Otane was voiced by Keiko Ijuu in the first three games of the series and ranked 11 in Gamest Mook's TOP 30 best female videogame character in 1994.

About Otane[]

Due to her unconquerable spirit, Otane has become superhuman. She is both mysterious and secretive so you never know what she may be up to.

Otane had a sad childhood where she was constantly berated and abused by her older sister Oume and due to her relative weakness, her mother didn't pay much attention to her. Her older sister seemed to hate her...

One day, at the age of 6 years, after strolling in the forest, Otane was very tired when she returned home, and quickly fell asleep. However, Oume was waiting for her, and at the moment Otane closed her eyes, Oume confined Otane in a box and threw the box into the ocean.

Sometime later, a farmer found the box half buried in the sand and he could hear that someone was crying inside. When the farmer opened the box found Otane, he took her to his home and when he and his family could reassure the child, they tried to find out who was she and where her family was at, but due to the traumatic event, Otane only remembered her name.

First step for revenge[]

After the murder attempt by Oume, the next seven years Otane lived a poor but happy life with her new family, but one summer, at Otane's 13th birthday, her foster parents told her about her true origin. When Otane heard her parents's story, memories of her past life arrived suddenly. Specially all the bad memories about Oume. Otane wanted to do something to get revenge.

Without listening the warnings of her parents, Otane decided travel to Kyoto, where the main Goketsuji Mansion was located. When she got to the town she realized who were the true ruler of that place. Every person that she found, looked at her with fear, mistakingly thinking she was Oume. Otane thougth that would be risky to call the attetion like that and decided to leave.

Otane returned to kyoto, but this time in disguise, however she was spotted by one Kuroko. Kuroko knew that the girl that had the same face of his master Oume was a different person so he approached to Otane to talk.

When Otane saw Kuroko approaching, got scared, she thought that Oume already knew that she was there so she tried to scape, but the Kuroko convince her to talk. Otane told him everything about what happened in the past.

Kuroko told to Otane that he will help her to enter into the Goketsuji mansion, he gave to her one Kuroko costume and tell her to go to the back door of the Masion that night, one group of Kurokos would oppen the backdoor for her.

That night, Otane succesfully got into the mansion, eventually arrived to the hall. Suddenly Otane saw a shadow moving around, but she realized that her mother's room was just some steps apart. She ran to her mother's room, once inside she felt a bit more secure, she thought that the only thing she had to do was to wait for her mother's arrival and telling her everything.

Suddenly a shadow appeared behind Otane, she felt that something evil was with her in the room, she took a look around and saw Oume at just a few steps behind her.

Oume visibly enraged and with a disturbing expresion on her face, shouted to Otane: "What are you doing here!?". Otane was scared at first, but her desire to get revenge was stronger and stayed till her mother arrived.

Otane stayed for nearly two years into the mansion, but as Oume turned even more cruel and aggressive and her mother was rather indefferent about her, Otane decided to run away ath the age of 15 with only one thing on her mind: Training endlessly, so that one day she will prove that she is a worthy representative of the Goketsuji clan so, in that way get revenge of Oume.

Soul's Mirror[]

There are more than 130 storehouses in an artificial island property of the Goketsuji Family(the current name of the island is Otane Land) is estipulated in the family code, that the winner of of the Goketsuji tournament has the right to choose one of those storehouses and pick up one of the objects inside for his/her personal use.

Having became the leader of the family on the 16th Goketsuji Tournament Otane oppened one of the storehouses and took a mirror called "Shinra Mirror". As many of the objects in the Goketsuji Collection the Shinra Mirror is not an ordinary item.

At firts glance, Otane knew that there was someething special in that mirror and started to investigate it's story. Apparently the mirror was bought by Oshima several years ago in an antique shop, presumably was in the same shop were she found the map for the treasures of Tokugawa.

Oshima discovered that the mirror had a misteryous power that allowed the owner of the mirror to trap the soul of anybody inside of it. She found this, one night in which the spirit of the previous owner of the mirror appeared inside of it, the spirit locked in the mirror, managed to freed itself, and possesed Oshima's body for a brief period of time, she was able to expel the spirit, but after analyze what happened, Oshima thought that the mirror was too dangerous to keep it and decided to store it in the deep of one of the storehouses.

Trivia[]

  • Otane's favorite song is "I Want To Be A Hero"; However, she doesn't know who the singer is.
  • In the arcade version of the first PI game, if both human players select Otane, the battle will take place in Oume's stage rather than Otane's.
  • Interestingly, in a voice collection for the announcer in Power Instinct 2, Otane's name is spoken. It may have gone unused, as Otane is not playable in the game and losing to her only results in the announcer saying the player's character lost.
    • Additionally, in the same game, Otane has a set of unused quotes for when she loses (ordinarily you are taken to the ending when you defeat her). [1]
