Location: Shibuya District (Chapter 2)
Description: A large, grotesque Slitterhead known for its brutal melee attacks and surprising speed.
Phases:

1. Phase 1 (Aggressive Charge): The Butcher will frequently charge at you, attempting to close the distance quickly. Dodge sideways to avoid its charges. After a charge, it often performs a short combo. This is your window to counter-attack.
2. Phase 2 (Enraged Slam): Once its health drops to about 50%, it will become more erratic, incorporating powerful ground slams that create shockwaves. Jump or dodge through these shockwaves. It may also summon smaller Slitterheads to distract you. Prioritize eliminating these adds quickly.

Weaknesses: Some sources suggest a weakness to Fire damage, while others indicate Ice. It is highly recommended to have a Rarity with either of these elemental types leveled up. Verify in-game which is more effective. Its back is a critical weak point, especially when it's distracted.
Recommended Rarities: Ranged Rarities are excellent for maintaining distance during its charges. Melee Rarities with high burst damage can be effective during its recovery frames after attacks.
Rewards: Defeating The Butcher of Shibuya grants a significant amount of experience, rare crafting materials, and potentially a unique costume piece if you manage to 'cut off the human body' from its back during the fight.
