To put it simply, the "Ghost" is a mantle/archetype, and the "Onryō" is a specific type of Ghost. Jin was a "kurodo" or shadow person who adopted the Ghost title as a form of rebellion against his code and a means to protect his people. Atsu is a different kind of warrior who becomes an Onryō, a vengeful phantom. The concept of the "Ghost" as a terrifying figure who works in the shadows endures as a legend over the 300 years between the games, and Atsu becomes the latest person to take up a similar mantle, but her specific nickname, The Onryō, immediately tells the player and the NPCs that her motivation is revenge and her methods are brutal. She is feared for different, more personal reasons than Jin was.

I can confirm the firearms and I want to emphasize how much they change the combat flow! The Tanegashima isn't just a bow replacement; it's a strategic, heavy weapon. The one drawback is the long reload time, which forces you to be smart about when you use it. You can't just spam shots. I found the Flintlock Pistol to be an excellent quick-draw tool for immediately following up a perfect parry or dodge—it often deals enough damage to drop a weaker enemy or open a stronger one up for a killing blow. The fact that the protagonist, who is essentially a rōnin-like figure seeking vengeance, uses these weapons is a perfect thematic fit for a character who has abandoned all pretense of a code.
