A formidable rival
Official descriptions frame Ganryu through his rivalry with Musashi. The record does not infer the full arc of that rivalry or its outcome beyond what Capcom has publicly established.
Demo encounter
The current demo includes Ganryu at Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Demo save data does not carry into the base game, although retaining demo save data can unlock the Kubi Akari Charm.
