Which encounters are documented

Sasaki Ganryu and Daidara are listed for the PS5 demo. Separately, Capcom's June reveal places Shuten Doji at Mount Oe; that announcement does not identify him as a demo encounter.

Counters still need evidence

Health, weaknesses, phase triggers, rewards and reliable counter timings remain unconfirmed by Kingy. A name or trailer appearance cannot establish a repeatable strategy or a missable encounter.
