- Demon Bell
- No item
- No healing
- No resurrection
- No normal attack
- No deflect

Took me about 50 times to beat this guy in his own game:

Just try it then you will know... if you dodge 0.5 second sooner or later then it mean "death" with this boss.

I hate these Ashina Elite guys. I hate them because doing a quickdraw in the middle of combat is a completely nonsense attack move and they do nothing but that. These guys are the embodiment of illogical combat. Maybe in japanese anime pulling a sword from its sheath causes it to move at the speed of light and cut through steel but in real life it gives less than zero benefit.
If you put your sword into its sheath in the middle of combat then the first thing your opponent does is to swing at your arm so that you can't pull your sword out again and then it's game over.

Next you'll tell me that giant white serpents don't exist and samurais can't conjure lightning to fight with.

Those are pure fantasy so there's no conflict. Melee attacks on the other hand are based on what can be done in reality. Sometimes they are exaggerated to make the game more interesting but at least they would be somewhat usable even without that. With mid combat quickdraw you are trying to exaggerate a move that is not even viable into a move that is a sign of a truly skilled swordsman.

Aw I was hoping he beat him head to head but instead he had to dodge to the side. That would have been so cool...

I don't know if that's possible because you would have to know ahead of time when Ashina Elite will try and attack you, before he starts his windup...
