Those Taiji (Yin/Yang symbol) are bombs.
You can lay up to 6 at a time; push R1 to detonate them.

He is like a mix of Zhen Ji and Lady Noh. :wacko: the Taiji (Yin/Yang symbol) bombs that he leaves behind are like zhen ji's flute bubbles and when he leaves them is like the one lady noh does when she leaves her bombs and then the R1 Button explodes them.

Oh.... it were his bombs ne.. Thanks, tenno-san
His moveset is surely a mix of Zhen Ji and Noh: His C2 slapping attack is similar with Zhen Ji His bomb thing is similar with Noh and Ishida Does it needs musou gauge to detonate the bombs? And what is the Taiji accesory in his back head for??? |

Well, he's an immortal Taoist. It could just be a hairtie with the Taiji attached to show... he's a Taoist. Sort of like religious jewellry or the like (necklaces with a crucifix; rings with an Ohm, etc.). On another note, I'm wondering if he has any unique quotes with Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, Sakon Shima, Mitsunari Ishida, Jiang Wei, Yue Ying, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and Lu Xun. My mind is making some up, anyway! :lol: |

^ There is an anime about Wang??? I guess it could be an old anime ne? Hmmm.... he is surely has strong religious.. The Taiji is everywhere, on his cloth, head acc, and his attacks ^^ That's why he doesnt like evil spirit like Da Ji ne Uh huh, I want to know what kind of conversation would be if Wang met with other strategists.. I guess, i must wait for 6 months Well, i never expecting that his bait is a GIANT steel He is surely has big strength to swing here and there lol^^ |

Yeah, there was an old anime based on his story, but it was heavily mixed with supernatural stories and stuff from the manga writer, saddly, I can't remember the name.
It's a common-place in chinese flolklore to turn Jiang into something similar to King Arthur's Merlin, using mystical powers to fight demons and this kind of stuff, Koei probably used this to create WO's Taigong Wang. The only thing that I don't know is why Koei portrayed him as a young, bishounen style character? He usually is portrayed as an old man. Maybe because they know that young, smart metrossexual looking men are popular with the gamers

If I had a bell, I would ring it. Ding. Ding. Ding. Iconically, all the new characters are archetyped designs that appeal to different fanbases & genres. Taigong - Bishounen/Biseinen type. Nu Wa - Oscar Francois/Onee-san type. Fu Xi - Seinen action/adventure protagonist type. Minamoto - Shounen action/adventure protagonist type (with a hint of space opera). Himiko - Shoujo (mostly Mahou Shoujo). Kiyomori - Villian. Sun Wukong - Animalistic/furry/ type. |

Your opinion about the new characters was right.. I agree with that It's good that there is bishounen type ^^ And i read Houshin Engi manga, but only a few volumes.. I forgot whether there is Taigong Wang in there or not |

To add, the reason why Jiang Ziya's king i.e. King Wen of Zhou named him as Taigong Wang is because King Wen's father i.e. Tai Gong has been hoping for sages like Jiang Ziya to strengthen the kingdom of Zhou since his reign. The 'Wang' character in Tai Gong Wang means hope, so literally, Tai Gong Wang can be translated as King "Tai Gong's hope", a name in which King Wen use to commemorate his father. PS This is based on Chinese history. Jiang Ziya, in the novel Feng Sheng Bang(aka Creation of the Gods), is the archnemesis of Da Ji, so it is appropriate for Koei to put him in Warriors Orochi. The only thing I did not expect is that Koei turned a supposedly 72+year old good-natured, modest, wisely, old, white-haired sage wizard(similar to Zuo Ci) into a cocky, arrogant, white-haired boy. Damn Senkaiden Houshin Engi for its bad influences! :angry: By the way, the renowned weapon that Jiang Ziya uses in the novel is supposed to be a long weapon called(loosely translated) "The Whip for beating the gods", not a fishing rod. Although the weapon is called "The Whip for beating the gods", it is hardly a whip, although the chinese character does stand for 'whip'. It is a hard weapon that is more or less shaped like a stick. |

I notice that in most chinese media portray him as an old wise man while in most japanese media (mainly maoh sairin and houshin engi) portray taigong wang as a young and bishonen looking lad. |

This is his third outfit. Like most of the brand new characters, his third costume isn't an alternate model. It seems to be grey, versus Nu Wa's white. It's sort of like blond VS dirty blond. His is white, but with darker strands and overall colour. I've been browsing MO:MS fanart sites; and one of my favourite trends that's appeared has been Nu Wa and Fu Xi acting like his parents. |

Ah! That's the one that i had seen in somewhere.. it's kinda has similar color with mitsunari's 2nd outfit in WO1
Sweet!! my favorite characters have similar outfit color Not a pure white and not a pure blonde color hair, correct? Well, yeah.. looks like many ppl thought that taigong wang is the child of fu xi and nu wa To me, fu xi and nu wa are older siblings for wang because looks like the three of them have similar adult face tenno, you have a cute siggy!! love it
