This run uses glitches. It is up to the moderator to accept this record.

[Glitch method] Create save data by injecting less than 15360 experience points into the enemy (Motomozun) who is blocking the door of Gifu Castle in advance.

① Load the save data, press the select button, select "End game" and return to the title.

② Set to "Critical mode" and select "From the beginning" to start the game.

This will carry over the infused experience points.

If you don't use glitch, please reset PS2 and start the game without loading the saved data.
