Vrai is the last boss of Itsuwari, but he isn't the main antagonist.

Spoiler:

Vrai starts to go completely off rails with the death of the Emperor and doesn't see Anju as a worthy successor. So Anju had two options towards Vrai, become his puppet or die.
Think of Vrai being a crazy dog that the real Antagonists let loose. The identity of the main antagonist is never reveled but there are three people I suspect can be it.
First is Uoshisu, he is very suspect with how he dealt with the situation after the Emperor's death. He found the poison in Oshutoru's home, He asked leading questions to Anju to make it seem like Oshutoru was the one giving Anju the poisoned tea, and Vrai over heard Oushisu talking about Oshutoru might have poisoned the Emperor.
The second one is Honoka, she is completely gone, and is believed to have cooperate with Oshutoru to poison the Emperor. I don't think she did it, but it's a possibility.
And the third is the Emperor, since it would be easy for him to create a fake corpse, the problem is that I can't think of a motive.

Just finished the game, I think Raikou is also suspicious the way he acts when the capital was in chaos. He also held down Mikazuchi from chasing Vurai that leads to Oshtoru's death. But it could be all red herring and he's only an opportunist looking to take more power in the midst of the chaos.
Entoa is also suspicious as hell since she has such a lust for revenge against Oshtoru back then before Honoka picked her up. Who knows if the real villain was using that to drive her to frame Oshtoru.
About Vurai, I bet he is still barely alive even though he falls from the cliff since we didn't see him actually vanished like Oshtoru, or someone else picked up his mask.

I'm still curious about what's the purpose of Kagura and Touka running an inn in Yamato? Was it really for assassinating the Emperor if the war situation calls for it?
Also in the final battle against Vurai, did Kuon also feel the effect from the twins' sealing spell?
