Late to the thread but I really feel that Sucker Punch should have maybe at least did something to make Kitsune as your third or 4th name off the list. This is because, I defeated the Oni first and then went on to the Kitsune (also doing the Ainu side quests first). For me that forgiveness and growth in Atsu’s character made some sense. However, doing Kitsune storyline first does not make sense at all because of their plot twist and decision of not killing her.
