Known as "Dramatic Mode" in the Asian ports, this mode offers bonus scenarios different from Story Mode after certain characters and criteria are met. The default teams for each stage have a particular theme for their formation which is often explained in the stage introduction.
Musou OROCHI Z introduces twelve new scenarios for characters without one, allowing customization after clearing a stage. The localized PSP port of Warriors Orochi 2 includes these changes, except for the team selection feature.
Note that in addition to the listed requirements, all 3 of a stage's characters must also be unlocked for the stage to be unlocked as well. Completing this mode unlocks Orochi X.
