Unlike some other allies in Rise of the Rōnin, Kusaka does not have specific survival requirements tied to major faction choices or story decisions. You can complete his missions without worrying about permanent character loss due to political alignments.

His missions provide insight into Choshu Clan operations and the complex political landscape of feudal Japan. The moral dilemmas presented through his missions reflect the difficult choices faced during periods of political upheaval and foreign influence in Japan's history.
