About this mod

Yes, you are seeing it correctly! Isshin's face (with Red-Eye(s)) on Shura's body (but can very much be used on any body..) to roleplay like a true "Isshinobi" cuz 'Hesitation is defeat!' Hope you all like it! :P

I present to you: Shura Isshin Ashina - Sekiro model-replacer (with physics and Red-Eye)

Required mod

Sekiro Mod Engine

Highly recommended mods

for even more customization combo possibilities:

Top Knot Sword Saint (and Inner) Isshin - NPC Remodel

Musashi's Red Eyes to get permanent Red-Eye(s) FX and get the Shura Fire-FX on all change-forms (so you don't need to unlock) via this great mod: Musashi's Flame (with Red Eyes patch)

Isshin's Black-Goatee with Physics (for Wolf and ALL Change-Forms) to get the true Isshin cosplay feel :P (copy added to the Main-section of this download-page as well)

Invisible Prosthetic Tools as possible combo with the restored (aka uncut) or 'no' arm opts.

Not totally to your liking? Perhaps one of my other mods might satisfy your modding thirst:
Isshin's Sword Saint outfit for Sekiro (with physics)


Known incompatibilities

- The outdated"DS3 and Bloodborne Material Pack" causes untextured bugs! But thx to buddy97 there is an updated solution: "In case you face any texture problem with some new mods I recommend you that use this mtd MTD 1.06."
- Old Sekiro version(s).. You need 1.05 minimal! If you are running an older version you could try the above link to MTD 1.06 file..

Parts logic

Basic info on the model files and the parts they contain:
- FC_m_0200: Head/face of Isshin, interchangeable with any existing Sekiro/Tengu/Ashina or Shura head for further customization! Try renaming (if needed..) any existing FC_m_0220, 0230 or 0240 to FC_m_0200 to use it in combo with the rest of this Wolf-Replacer mod or read below for info on renaming the Shura body-parts to any specific change-form slot(s)
- AM_m_9000: some arm parts (9010 uncut aka 'restored' arm and 9020 are where the 'no arm' opts are copied from :P)
- BD_m_9000, 9030&9040: Main Shura outfit + the right arm.. and feet.. (feet taken out so the BD+AM combo can be used with any other FC-head and/or LG-pants file!) 
- LG_m_9000: Isshin Pants, Main-Download: Base-Package contains the physics Helm-Tuft and Goatee. And 3 other opt versions up for download.. All compatible with the Sekiro/Shura opts (which I tossed in the Update download-category, to try and keep some sort of oversight of it all..). 

c0000.chrbnd.dcx: contained inside the CHR-folder, which should be next to the PARTS-folder. Only important to line-up the Red-Eye(s)-FX (from Red-Lumps), will only position correctly for this model.. thus making it incorrect for others (if set to an alt change-form slot or so..)

Installation

Unpack the downloaded archive (with 7zip and/or WinRAR) into your Sekiro game-folder (where the Sekiro.exe is located).
It should look like this: (installation-folder\mods\parts\<all files here> and \Chr\<with only the c0000.chrbnd.dcx here> next to it)

File-name info for Ashina, Tengu and Shura change-forms

Spoiler:  
Show
Short-list:
- Ashina: FC_m_0220 and AM, BD & LG_m_9120
- Tengu: FC_m_0230 and AM, BD & LG_m_9130
- Shura: FC_m_0240 and AM, BD & LG_m_9110

Long-list(s):
Ashina change-form replacer, copy and rename these 4 files:
- FC_m_0200 to FC_m_0220
- AM_m_9000 to AM_m_9120
- BD_m_9000 to BD_m_9120
- LG_m_9000 to LG_m_9120

Tengu change-form replacer, copy and rename these 4 files:
- FC_m_0200 to FC_m_0230
- AM_m_9000 to AM_m_9130
- BD_m_9000 to BD_m_9130
- LG_m_9000 to LG_m_9130

My personal favorite, Shura change-form replacer with fire particles-FX. Copy and rename these 4 files:
- FC_m_0200 to FC_m_0240
- AM_m_9000 to AM_m_9110
- BD_m_9000 to BD_m_9110
- LG_m_9000 to LG_m_9110

For easy change-form unlocking, I recommend using: Unlock All Outfits (the outfits stay unlocked on your save, so you only have to use it once and can then overwrite it with another mod as needed/wanted!). But you can also get the Shura Fire-FX on all forms (so you don't need to unlock) via this great mod: Musashi's Flame (with Red Eyes patch)
This way you can setup an alt equip-combo on each individual (unlocked) change-form and switch via the in-game idol-menu (NG required + completed Gauntlet). Or put alt-models in the change-form slots, like any combination of my mod(s): Ayame Physics Project, Lady Butterfly's Disciple and/or Ayame Summer Edition




Mods worth trying:

Spoiler:

(Compatible with this mod & the above recommended mods. But you may have to pick and choose cuz they aren't ALL compatible with each other..)

Spirit of Ashina: You come for a vanilla+ light overhaul-experience.. But stay for the AMAZING long distance views.. Also check the tips on mod-combos the author recommends. (Like the awesome Ashina Incarnation opt combo)

Shadow Blink - Standalone: awesome Mist Raven enhancement, 'Shadow Blink' (and opt 'Shadow Dash' ability combo) from Elden Arts as standalone-mod. Also easily imported into other mods that already use the 'c0000.anibnd.dcx' file, by unpacking the original files of both mods with Yabber. Then copy + overwrite the 'a74.tae' file (which should contain all the Mist Raven edits) to the mod you want it in and repacking the edited file again with Yabber. Look for more extensive guide written here..

Musashi's Art: Animation replacement for basic combo-attacks. (And there is also a Sekiro Resurrection (S:R) compatible version here: Hub of Changes - Musashi Art)

Sekiro Resurrection (S:R): There's also a 'How to Install Sekiro: Resurrection (Tutorial)(helpful to understand how to install more complex mods for Sekiro in general) and if you are having additional trouble, you can get in contact for help on discord! https://discord.gg/pRz8pQAbUz

Sekiro Hotkey System use the 4.0 version if the latest is giving headaches on use! Can also be used in conjunction with Sekiro Weapon Wheel if you should choose.. To install these kind of mods with 'mod-engine dependent mods' like mine follow these steps: "chainDInput8DLLPath="\SekiroWeaponWheel.dll"" is a copy of my personal Sekiro Weapon Wheel rename and chain-load add - copy/paste this in your modengine.ini if you also rename Sekiro Weapon Wheel's dinput8.dll to SekiroWeaponWheel.dll
"Chainloading allows the game to load Mod Engine's dinput8 file, which can then load whatever file is specified in the modengine.ini file."


Outro
(no important info):
Just looking around to finally making a Shura based mod, and tbh, I kind of failed (might find another solution later, but this is it for now..). None of my merges for a bit more logical part division seemed to want to take.. so I just ended up with vanilla parts. And still no FC file with textures.. so did a bit of a twist, my Isshin's Black-Goatee with Physics (for Wolf and ALL Change-Forms) needed an update (thnx to a bug-reported, ty again!) so I ended up in the Isshin department again.. the other 'One-eyed Demon lurking around Ashina' ;) and this is the end-result :D. Hope you still all like it, enjoy! Combine as much as you plz, share the screenshots etc.. but pretty plz 'with sprinkles on top' just credit the original-makers ;).

- Crustacion, Sword Saint Isshin (with cloth physics on pants) (ask permission if you want to reuse Isshin's head or pants!)
- buddy97, Sekiro Way of Tomoe (ask permission if you want to reuse the 'restored' left-arm)
- buddy97, Genichiro's Armor Set check here if you want the Sekiro head-file with Isshin-Helm only! (from a NON-Helmet-less version) (ask permission from buddy if you want to reuse it in a mod ofc..)
- afelion23, Long Hair sekiro (ask permission if you want to reuse the Shura head)
- AccurateFrog, trademark holder of "Isshinobi" title ;)
Thank you all for sharing your amazing work and allowing me to use it!

Finally:

If you want to use anything else.. GO AHEAD! The Shura-parts are vanilla, so don't really feel the need to give permissions.. I just felt it was odd that the Shura outfit wasn't around for download as any mod thus far (as I know.. at least not here on Nexus). Its meant as a 'modders resource' while still being a fully functioning mod to play with as well! .. but I wouldn't say no to some credit if reused for another mod or so.. ;)
