...You know what? We're definitely not talking about the same thing because, one: there were many different daimyo of many different samurai clans. Usually, in the later years, fighting over the title of shogun. Secondly, the concept of 'the Devil' is mostly a Christian and western based one. Which wouldn't have existed to most of the famous ones.

Thirdly, marionettes and puppets aren't actually living things. They're objects. There might be a marionette shaped like a samurai but they couldn't actually do anything.
