The Last Blade 2/Kaede (Original)

Introduction

You can access Original Kaede by highlighting Kaede at the character select screen, and pressing C 9 times, B once, and C 4 more times. If you do this right, you'll hear his voice, and then you can select him with A or D.

Original Kaede loses a bit of the advantages his awakened form has, playing more carefully with this version is recommended.
