This isn't useful, just weird looking. The cutscene appears to softlock at the end, but you can skip to get out of it.
To do this, you must get the Yoshpet key totem thing from Tuskle, then do Wawku early to beat Wawku, then go do the 100 Years in the Past segment, then come back to the top of Ezofuji.
I was exploring this as a potential route for Top Dog, but I'm not 100% sure it will be done. We'll see.

![Okami in 2:04:54 - NG Any% Speedrun [Previous PB]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p_Lb8MRFiE8/mqdefault.jpg "Okami in 2:04:54 - NG Any% Speedrun [Previous PB]
My first PB in over 2 years! Ive had very little time to run in all this time, but I was finally able to practice enough to not flub the huge advantage I had over my last PB from all the new tricks and optimizations discovered since then.
Theres a lot to improve from here. In terms of major time losses, those are:
-Ryo Stair Clip (30s)
-Blockhead Clip (2m)
-Fire Tablet Skip (3m)
-Shinshu Plateau Demon Boost (47s) (I actually got this really quickly... and then slipped off the plateau trying to jump up to the thunderdome )
-Oki Skip (I lost 70s on this split, though a big part of that was trying to figure out a way to lose negative godhood)
-Wawku Cannon Room (1m)
A lot of the rest of the time loss comes down to general sloppiness: suboptimal movement, early/late cutscene skips, bad fights, slow brushing, etc.. That level of confidence will come if and when I do more and more runs.
Turbo start was used to skip cutscenes. Turbo jump was used primarily to swim faster and occasionally to jump immediately after landing.
