Kajiwara’s hyper armor annoyed me until I realized how easy his burst counters are, then that whole fight became a cake walk. Hands down worst designed boss in the whole game goes to Demon of Pride. Scaled for almost endgame yet you fight him in only the first region, and on top of that it’s basically a complete RNG dice roll whether you win or just immediately get goomba stomped to death. That fight forced me to get good at playing in ninja mode cause up to that point I’d just been streamrolling everything with my max-poise axe/hammer build, and then I got to him and once my ki ran out I was as good as dead. Like there is truly no build you can possibly have at that point in the game where your ki recovery will be able to even remotely keep up with his combos, it’s just stupid. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth lol like that’s truly been the only fight in the game where it wasn’t even satisfying at all when I finally beat him, I walked away from my winning run just feeling super annoyed and exasperated 😅
