Mystics

The Mystics are immortal beings led by Susano'o in the Warriors Orochi series. Though many of the generals look human, the mystics originate from a mystic realm (仙界, Senkai; "pure land away from human world") separate from the mortal realm and possess various magical powers. Many of the mystics are pulled from mythology, deities or popular fictional portrayals of various historical figures. In the English script, many officers of the Mystics army are named after star constellations.

They previously attempted to deliver divine punishment to Orochi at Hinokawa and wanted to imprison him a second time. However, their efforts were thwarted and the mystics were forced to rethink their strategy. The leaders and allied generals continue their resistance against him during the series.

A different mystic army also appears during one of the dream modes in Musou OROCHI Z. In this particular stage, the army aims to prove their might to humanity.

Warriors Orochi 3 presents a militant group sent by Susano'o to hunt down Da Ji in the original timeline. Unlike the mystics from the previous game, they consider both demons and humans as obstacles to their goals and have clashed against them numerous times in different battles.

In Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, the mystics return to their realm after the Hydra's defeat at the hands of the humans. However, upon noticing the confusion caused by Tamamo, they descend once again to aid the humans. They later play a major role in figuring out Orochi's origins, and in the fight against Tamamo, they help expose her true form.

In Warriors Orochi 4, the Mystics noted that Zeus, a god of Olympus, had recreated Orochi's world, and had "borrowed" Orochi's scythe to unknown ends, while also pulling the humans they helped back to Orochi's world. Gathering enough information to ascertain what he had done: creating the world through the use of the Ouroboros bracelets imbued with the power of gods and Orochi's scythe, the Mystics became involved in the conflict ot help the humans once again, while ascertaining Zeus' motives and reasonings. Although helping the humans indirectly, the Mystics had to avoid direct confrontation with Olympus, not wanting to risk war between the Mystic Realm and Olympus.
