Knowing that it could be in danger, Orochi had finally pulled all its moves to fight against the Titan Knight. Stopping Jin from releasing his Maqi was the most important task at hand and Orochi did not hesitate to go full force. Even though it was connected as one particular body, Yamata no Orochi had the capability to split his serpent heads equally into eight pieces.
The lore stated that Orochi could be seen with eight heads and tails was not a lie as that was his form when all eight separate serpents emerged as one. It was one of the reasons why no one suspected how Genbu was hiding the eight headed serpent for so long and how the serpent always seemed undying in nature, providing the turtle with the ultimate offence and defensive capabilities one could ever wish for.
So, with the help of Genbu who manipulated his Yin Energy to create spatial distortions, Orochi used those distortions to jump through time and space so as to ambush Jin's Titan Knight.
