In King of Benevolence and King of Benevolence 2, a vengeful spirit has a weak body. The horn on its head is the source of ghost power. Smashing it will cause it to lose its strength. In most cases, using the upper part of the weapon's Light Heavy Strike derived skill to attack can break the horn. The weak water and chaos are relatively safe when standing behind the right leg (but note that they can still hit the ball in a clockwise direction). In King of Benevolence 2, after the corner is broken, the first generation of wraiths will directly kneel down, and the second generation will appear hard and straight, and the demon power bar will be weakened to about a quarter. In the Ultraman series, the vengeful spirits and ghosts had no effect on ordinary weapon attacks. Even Gauss 'full moon light waves could be penetrated.

In the context of various cultures and legends, vengeful spirits were usually considered a type of ghost. From the movie " Vengeful Spirits," the vengeful spirits in the movie had supernatural abilities and could bring about terrifying events. They matched some of the characteristics of ghosts. In the legends of Japanese vengeful spirits, vengeful spirits like Taira no Masato possessed great power and would take revenge on those who offended them. They also had the attributes of ghosts in the traditional sense. There were also cases of infants abandoned by their mothers turning into vengeful spirits to seek revenge on their mothers. The vengeful spirits here also showed the characteristics of ghosts, such as the immortality of their souls and revenge. The vengeful spirits in the game Onryo were also supernatural and terrifying existences. Therefore, vengeful spirits could be seen as a manifestation of ghosts.
Vengeful spirits and resentful ghosts were concepts that existed in different cultures and situations. In terms of movies, for example, the China horror movie " Vengeful Spirits " was adapted from a horror novel. It was based on one of the " Top Ten Supernatural Incidents in Asia." It was a horror story about young people who violated taboos during the Ghost Festival and were haunted by evil ghosts. There was also a horror film called " Evil Spirits " in Indonesia. There was a vengeful spirit culture in Japanese culture. Under the influence of Shinto and Buddhism, the theory of vengeful spirits was formed. According to them, people who suffered unjust treatment or died unjustly could become vengeful spirits, or even think that they were wronged. There were four famous ancient Japanese wraiths in Japan, including Sugawara, Taira, Prince Zara, Emperor Chongde, etc. The stories of these wraiths were mostly related to politics and social injustice, reflecting people's concern for social contradictions. There were also characters in the Japanese special feature drama Ultraman, such as the vengeful spirit Ghost, who had a unique background and ability setting. In China folktales, there were also legends of resentful ghosts claiming lives, such as the story of Lin Sheng Ye Bogeng being claimed by the ghosts of Zhou Lü, which involved the grudges of previous lives, good and evil karma, and so on. In games, such as Ghostphobia, wraiths were a type of ghost that had specific behaviors, abilities, weaknesses, and so on. For example, wraiths were very vigilant against fire and could attack when the fire was extinguished.
" Twin Vengeful Spirits " was a Chinese horror puzzle game developed by a six-person team, Unicorn Studio. Currently, he had 50,000 followers on Taptap and a 9.2 rating. In the game, players might ask," Who am I? Where am I?" In the scene, there would be a looming old house, and there would be horror scenes such as seeing oneself in the coffin of the old house, such as covering the red headscarf, lighting the ghost candle, and facing the plot of marrying a paper figurine.
There were many factors that led to the formation of vengeful spirits. From a social and cultural point of view, in some social environments such as the Heian era, closed ignorance would breed fear and give birth to a vengeful spirit culture. For example, Japan was surrounded by the sea at that time. People were in an agricultural society, their thinking was limited, and they were filled with fear of the world. At the same time, there were problems such as the gap between the rich and the poor and the imbalance of economic development in society. People had no time to think about solving the problems they faced, and they had no way to vent their worries. Under such circumstances, it was easy to produce a vengeful spirit culture. Moreover, the frequent occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, rebellions, and unreasonable systems had caused the people to suffer and even suffer fatal blows. People had no way to survive, so they attributed these to demons and ghosts, thus creating the concept of vengeful spirits. From the perspective of religious culture, the theory of vengeful spirits appeared under the influence of Japanese Shinto and Buddhism. Shinto believed that everything had a spirit and that the end of life was not death, but other forms of existence. Buddhism had the idea of karma and reincarnation. If a person harbored strong resentment or unresolved conflicts in life, they might become a vengeful spirit after death and could not enter reincarnation until the resentment was released. In addition, from the perspective of national character and social structure, the Japanese collectivistic blind obedience led to individuals mostly choosing to suppress resentment rather than publicly express injustice. Long-term repression would turn people into vengeful spirits after death. The strict social hierarchy and power structure of ancient Japan made some people suffer oppression and injustice, unable to change it, and could only bear it silently. After death, they became vengeful spirits. At the same time, if one suffered unfair treatment during their lifetime, or died unjustly, or even if they felt wronged and accumulated resentment, they could become vengeful spirits.
The cast of 'Vengeful Spirits Basement' included Ni Xinyu, Chen Meixing, Na Wei, Dong Ziwu, and others.
From the information provided about vengeful spirits, it was difficult to distinguish the essential difference between vengeful spirits and ghosts. In these stories, vengeful spirits were often formed because of grievances, bad endings, or suppressed love. For example, the vengeful spirits in Ultraman were the souls of princes and princesses who could not be married during the Warring States Period. In the story of Hebei and Tang Shan in the Qing Dynasty, the spirits of generals and princesses were suppressed and turned into vengeful spirits. Here, vengeful spirits and ghosts seemed to be a kind of fusion concept. There was no obvious definition to indicate the difference between the two. Therefore, it was impossible to accurately describe the difference between wraiths and ghosts based on these references.
From a scientific point of view, there was no reliable evidence to prove the existence of vengeful spirits. Although there were some cultural legends and stories about vengeful spirits, such as the Japanese culture that people who suffered unfair treatment or died unjustly could become vengeful spirits, this was a concept in cultural phenomena and lacked scientific basis.
According to the reference materials, many people who had experienced supernatural events might feel weak and sleepy if they felt that there were supernatural things (such as vengeful spirits) following them. They might even have symptoms of mental illness. Even if they spent a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine, it would be repeated, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and eventually become a chronic illness. However, these phenomena had not been fully confirmed by science to have an inevitable connection with vengeful spirits. From a scientific point of view, it could be caused by other physiological or psychological factors.
