Template:BackgroundTemplate:Project improve adTemplate:Technique infoboxDeluge (「恵雨」?; kei'u; rain of blessing) is one of the eleven secret Celestial Brush techniques in Ōkami, and one of the five in Ōkamiden, which is known as Splash.
Description
By summoning forth a deluge, Amaterasu and Chibiterasu no longer need a water source for Waterspout. Thus, being a more versatile version of the base technique, Deluge can be used in situations when a body of water is not present, such as in battles, where its potential is best shown. In battle, Deluge can be used to constantly damage demons and halt them in their tracks. This technique is especially useful in battle against demons of the fire element, or when a Great Tengu is encountered. However, despite that Deluge has a longer duration than Icestorm, the latter has a more powerful and effective effect of nullifying the fire element of demons, as well as preventing the Great Tengu from entering Chaos Mode while also being its Floral Finisher, so constantly using Icestorm is more recommended than Deluge.
Usage
To use Deluge, Amaterasu and Chibiterasu has to draw the mark of Nuregami, || (two vertical lines). The longer the lines, the longer the duration of the rainstorm, but the more ink consumed.

Ōkami
After the defeat of Ninetails, Amaterasu can return to Sei'an City (Aristocratic Quarter). There, behind the entrance to Himiko's Palace is her handmaiden, tending the grave of the deceased queen. From the small pond near the handmaiden, use Waterspout to sprinkle its water onto the four gravestones in the distance, as a tribute to the deceased line of leaders. This will cause a rainstorm, and Nuregami will appear, granting Amaterasu Deluge.

Trivia
- Deluge being named as Splash in Ōkamiden may be linked to the game's theme relating children, for their tendencies to play in water bodies and splashing water.
- When Deluge is used, the kanji Template:Nihongo2 appears.
