Denshattack! structures its campaign around nine chapters, each ending in a major boss fight, followed by a late final confrontation; additional smaller encounters also appear during the adventure. The bosses are not simple damage races: each one remixes movement, route and interaction mechanics introduced in its region.
Spoiler-free boss advice
The game director describes each chapter finale as a test of what the player learned during that chapter. When an encounter feels confusing, look for the regional mechanic being repeated at a larger scale. A meter, projectile, lane change, drift, horn prompt or interactive arena object may matter more than raw score.
Before retrying, identify the type of failure:
- If you cannot reach the next phase, search for an environmental trigger rather than repeating the same combo.
- If a projectile keeps ending the run, test whether a learned aerial move can reflect or redirect it.
- If the arena shifts lanes or gravity, prioritize positioning and survival until the pattern repeats.
- If the fight is a chase, preserve forward momentum and react to route prompts instead of looking for a conventional health bar.
Bosses are intentionally different from one another. A tactic learned in one finale may not transfer directly to the next, but the broader habit—recognize the chapter mechanic, then use it under pressure—does.
Full chapter boss sequence
The collected walkthrough and no-damage video identify the following progression. Names and descriptions in this table are spoilers.
| Story position | Boss or encounter | Verified high-level feature |
|---|---|---|
| Chapter 1 | Yoshie Mitsutake | Dashing Queens-themed giant mecha; first boss |
| Chapter 2 | Madoka Sato | Dead Ball gang leader with a pitching contraption |
| Chapter 3 | Shin and Fumihiko | Mobile castle mech built from salvaged automobile parts |
| Chapter 4 | Madoka Sato rematch | Reflected baseballs and a mechanical-worm pursuit |
| Chapter 5 | Yamagata | One-versus-many train battle using the Yukaze wind-current mechanic |
| Chapter 6 | Brian Ishida | Wretchhound encounter |
| Chapter 7 | Suzuna Sei | Music-themed battle identified in the video as “Guitar Hero” |
| Chapter 8 | Yoneda Family | Three-part faction battle ending with Shihori's skull float |
| Chapter 9 | Molty VACTRAIN | High-speed pursuit focused on momentum and horn-triggered travel |
| Final confrontation | Miraido Moon Base | Late encounter connected to Miraido's moon server |
The exact numbering varies by source because one video labels nine bosses and then a separate final boss, while the director describes one big fight at the end of each of nine chapters plus other encounters. This guide preserves that distinction instead of forcing every source into one count.
Yoshie: learn the arena
Yoshie is officially confirmed as the first boss. The developer's Steam news describes her as a Fukuoka influencer inspired by gyaru culture, while the director explains that her giant mecha is assembled from her train and her allies' trains. The design connects the spectacle to her gang and friendship motif.
The written walkthrough says to build the Zone meter, then use interactive parts of the arena and machine during the mecha phase. Official gameplay footage visibly shows the player riding and returning a launched rocket fist, but the collected sources do not establish that every visible action is mandatory. Treat it as a clue to the encounter's interaction language, not a complete step list.
If you are stuck, stop trying to outscore the robot and inspect what the arena lets the train touch, ride or redirect. Yoshie is the tutorial for the campaign's boss philosophy: the set piece itself is part of the solution.
Madoka, the castle mech and Yamagata
Madoka Sato leads the Dead Ball gang and fights with a large baseball pitching device. Her later rematch is documented as requiring reflected baseballs using aerial tricks, followed by survival during a worm-like train pursuit. If the return timing fails, focus on one repeatable aerial input and watch the projectile rather than extending a combo.
Shin and Fumihiko's Chapter 3 encounter turns an old castle and salvaged car parts into a steam-powered mobile machine. Media descriptions mention crab-like legs, a pompadour cannon and a large sound system. Because the collected material does not provide a reliable phase-by-phase solution, use the fight's prompts and chapter mechanics instead of assuming every decorative component is a target.
Yamagata's Chapter 5 set piece pits his train and 99 subordinates against the player. The encounter emphasizes piloting and the Yukaze wind-current mechanic. Protect your line through the crowd, read current direction and avoid treating every nearby train as an invitation to attack.
Late-game bosses and pursuit mechanics
The Chapter 8 Yoneda Family fight is described in three phases: Mako's archer float, the Hamamoto Twins' polarity attacks and Shihori's ghostly skull float. The walkthrough says Shihori's section involves distinguishing spectral arms from physical targets, alternating gravity, drifting across multiple tracks into the skull vehicle and stomping weakened bones. Solve one visual rule at a time; attacking spectral elements as though they were solid wastes the opening.
The Chapter 9 VACTRAIN sequence is closer to a pursuit than a normal arena fight. Its documented priorities are forward momentum and horn-triggered void travel. If you fall behind, simplify your tricks and protect speed until the next required transition. Looking for a traditional weak point can distract from the actual route objective.
The final moon-base confrontation is named in the community boss video, but the research does not include a trustworthy written strategy for every phase. Use the timestamped video for visual verification and avoid turning a no-damage performance into a claim about the only intended solution.
Video timestamps for a specific fight
The no-commentary boss compilation provides a useful index:

The footage is presented as a no-damage run and contains no spoken explanation. Use it to locate an encounter, observe a successful action and compare visual cues. Do not assume its route is the safest route for a first clear or that every flourish is required.
