This should save about 10s in runs which perform Sasa Early (youtu.be/fyoK2HeK3yY). This is NOT worthwhile otherwise, as using the brush would simply delay nightfall, which you would have to wait for to fight the Cutters.
There may be some alternate method of doing this Brush Adventure to save a second or two, but this is pretty good as-is. It's important that you use outer cam for this or it doesn't work.
As of now, the route is looking like:
- Everything up to Bloom Taka
- Get the teacup from the Molsters and return it to the Tea Master
- Do the Devil Gate to open the spring
- Do Sasa Early, fight Take
- Warp to Taka, go to Kusa
- Get the Canine Tracker from Fuse
- Feed Rei (in the CB cave)
- Feed Chi (in the bamboo)
- Shin Warp (as shown in this video), feed Shin
- The Tei fight will become available, since the game thinks we've fed 4 dogs because it counts the Take fight as one.
- Fight Tei
- After the fight, feed Ko behind Fuse to do Meat Warp (https://okami.speedruns.wiki/Meat_Warp)
- Leave Kusa
- Go to City Checkpoint
- The rest of the run is pretty much the same as before.
Named "Shin Warp" because you warp to Shin :)

![Okami in 2:25:09 - New Game Any% Speedrun [Former World Record]
This time was beaten by me on March 28 (https://youtu.be/k88UtutOe3g).
This run was really bad in a variety of ways, but the tab skips went really well. Tab Skip 1 was literally first try, which I never expected to happen for me so soon. I did have some good moments, but there were a lot of categorical errors in this run that very nearly ended it (mainly failing the acid swim in Water Dragon and forgetting to upgrade the wallet the whole run). Theres a long way to go before I have a run I really like here.
This run beats the previous WR by Krinoteder (2h 25m 57s https://youtu.be/zwGx7p1IfkI) by 48 seconds. Im very lucky he didnt lower the time much further because he definitely could have =p

I finally did it!! This run was far from perfect, but it was great in some very important ways. Namely, both fire tablet skips were incredibly quick. The first one was almost exactly 1 minute, and the second was 1m 11s. This run also had 2nd try CC skip, which was verrry lucky.
This run beats the previous wr by tnkn_27kan (2h 34m 45) by 3m 34s. Most of that timesave comes from overall faster fire tab skips.
I do still want to beat this time, because sub 2h 30m was easily within grasp if I hadnt made some bad mistakes in Wawku and at Orochi. Its just a matter of getting a run this lucky again =p
