General is the fifth and last bodyguard of Shogun. He is a high-ranking officer in Shogun's military army. General appears as a slightly bearded man, covered in purple armor, and wears a white bandana over his forehead. He is loyal to Shogun and heads his personal mercenary unit.
General wields a unique type of glaive, which has a functioning ditto to the Sapphire Fang and Silver Glaive. Unlike all other bodyguards, he cannot be fought directly after beating the previous bodyguard. Before he can be fought, players need to defeat five mercenaries in a row without break, similar to Survival or Enemies in a row in Challenge. After all the mercenaries are defeated, however, the player does not need to fight General directly, and can be fought later if the player opts to. He later returns to fight for Shogun in the Interlude.
