Oboro Bishamon (朧ビシャモン, Oboro Bishamon) is a secret character who first appeared in Vampire Savior: Lord of Vampire. This version of Bishamon is a depiction of what Bishamon would be like if he truly conquered and mastered the evil in the armor that intended to possess him. As a result, Bishamon is in complete control of both himself and the armor, instead of the armor taking control over him. As a result, he loses the ability to send the soul fires out to possess an opponent, but he gains some new abilities. He has slightly different colors and is shown to don and remove the armor at will before and after a fight.

Key differences from BishamonEdit

Appearance wise Oboro's character sported duller colors compared to Bishamon. His character portrait and victor artwork represented these changes in color as well. In Vampire Savior Oboro uses Bishamon's winning quotes, this was removed in the upgraded titles Vampire Hunter 2 and Vampire Savior 2 appeared only as a line of periods, or ellipses. Another difference is the lack of fiery souls that were once present over Bishamon's shoulders. The lack of these also contributed to Oboro not having moves where the souls could possess the opponent.

In Vampire Savior, Oboro only had one stage entrance pose and one winning pose. In his winning pose he donned the cursed armor and after winning the armor was taken off. In Vampire Hunter 2 and Savior 2 he received a shorter stage intro when controlled by the player as well as several addition and unique win poses. Oboro was also given unique character damage transformations. In arcade versions of the series when struck by Anakaris' "Pharaohs Curse" he was transformed into a mini Bishamon holding a staff. He was also given a slightly different sprite when struck by Demitri Maximoff's "Midnight Bliss".
