Thanks for uploading this panel Ian Mcdiarmid is an awesome actor and person.
Wrong my man. Directors cut says otherwide3
The thing is, Jin never wanted to abandon the way of the Samurai. For some reason i found the spare option a bit out of character for Jin, and is not like Jin questioned the ways of the Ghost as well, like Norio last tale and the Mongols reverse engineering his poison. There's many other missions that makes you question the Ghost ways. There's also the case for Ryuzu. Ryuzu represents what is a Samurai without a code, is complete antithesis of Shimura ways. Another point, Yuna never encouraged Jin to break his code, merely to bend it. I don't know i agree with you the Killing option makes more sense overall
He broke from the Code . He told his Uncle he is a slave to the Code so by sparing his uncle is the right way to go
有り難う。これからもヨロシク(^-^)/ネ！
Wow!!! you got to go to a baby metal concert?!!!! Im so happy for you!!!!! 😊 😄😄 i bet you had tons of fun!! They gave everyone the best concert they could in return you all give them energy to keep going! 😊 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thank you so much for posting this i never get to go to any concerts of artists i like so its nice, im so happy for you!!!
It was a ton of fun, seeing them live is such a unique experience. I loved every second of the show. They toured with Dethklok (metalocalypse) but BabyMetal was the stand out for me.
It would be cool of you could deflect arrows from your horse.
The director confirmed that sparing Shimura is the real ending. What we see throughout GoT is the transition from a Samurai to a full-on ronin. Breaking tradition. Going against expectations. As much as killing Shimura makes sense, it makes even more sense for Jin to spare Shimura. Jin had to bend/break the code in order to save Shimura the first time, so why wouldn't he do it again after everything he's done? Jin doesn't want to follow a broken system. The Mongols taught him that.
literally the game is called ghost of tsushima the canon ending is spare when he puts the ghost mask on and walks away it’s just better as well
The ending in which we spare him is the canonical one because it is the definitive act that makes Jin move away from bushido
and the game is literally called ghost of tsushima the whole point of the game is jin leaving his samurai life behind him and becoming the ghost of tsushima liek why tf would sparing him not be canon 🤣
The bokken tournament in iki island was my favorite part of the dlc . They need to add more tournaments like that and add like posts about samurai challenging swordsman for honor
Why did he kill himself? I really want to know.
From what I've heard and I could be mistake his suicide was never confirmed. This I feel is one of those things that we may never know because the family chooses to keep it to themselves and that should be respected. Whatever the reason was he will always be the legend and hero we all grew up with and aspired to be.

Still feels unreal that he has left, but I believe he's alright wherever he is now (same as all who have left this world). Been watching MMPR & ZEO since after the news of his passing, having had a break for almost a decade of no Power Rangers, and it's strange whenever I see it and remember he left... kinda feels like watching a ghost a bit... strange how when people you've watched and then when they're not here anymore and you watch them on video, it's just a strange feeling to it
It really is, im still in shock that he's gone same with Kevin Conroy. 2 legends gone.
personally i killed him, and im quite shocked to see the majority spared him. shimura was all about honor, and he would lived the rest of his life with shame, or even worse, ordered to commit seppuku. I think he would rather die by jin's hands than the shogun, and jin must be well aware of that. it's what shimura wanted, and at the very least, the last thing he saw was not jin the ghost, but jin his adopted son. its way more emotional than the spare ending, imo. also, the white dye ghost armor is way cooler than the red one.
I agree with this 100% I've said before that sparring Shimmura is the easy way out for Jin. He gets to keep his family. But by killing Shimmura, Jin has to come full circle and not make decisions based on emotions which is what Shimmura has been trying to teach him over the course of not just the game but throughout Jin's life
@@WulfTheRonin totally agree man, replaying the game the kill option not being canon makes no sense narratively for a sequel. As if they go the spare route then the sequel is just a rehash of the first games lessons & themes. The 2nd game should focus on jin's relationship with the ghost and the affect that has on things around him. This game dealt with the identity of the ghost and how it affects him on a personal level obviously that can be continued but to use shimura as a vessel for that would be a mistake as that's what the whole first game was about. The Khan was just an inciting incident. The real story was between jin, the ghost & shimura. If shimura lives the 2nd game would just be exactly like the first no? The kill ending wraps things up nicely while leaving lots of ambiguity in jin's thoughts and emotions to develop in the sequel. Which would be much more interesting imo
i doubt theres going to be a 2nd game for starters, but i chose to spare him bc jin doesnt respect the samurai way anymore and even told his uncle it has poisoned him, i was going to kill him but realized i was stooping down to his level and jin throughout the game is never the type to do that, he follows his heart not samurai code. its also a huge slap in the face to shimura to show how much of a better man he is than shimura , to me it made perfect sense and jin loved his uncle more than anything killing him when he didn’t believe in his uncle’s beliefs doesnt make sense at all
I was at this Summercon he Signed my action figures and I took pictures with Jason and I still couldn’t look at the pictures without crying for him
Yeah its really heartbreaking. He was so inspirational
When and where was he in Washington state cuz iam from Washington state I really wanted to see him if I would have known dang that makes me upset and break's my heart that I could have seen Jason David Frank now he's gone iam really devastated now.😔😞😭💔
This was at Washington State Summer con. It's a smaller con in Puyallup it happend this most recent June
@@WulfTheRonin yea I looked that up on Google I wish he would have came to Spokane my hometown that would have been nice I would made my day.
Hope they put the character to the center of the screen, not somewhere in the corner
I personally don't mind the over the shoulder view but it's all about preference I guess.
The more I listen to this the more I respect him and it hurt to see him gone
I know man, his passing really stings. We lost Kevin Conroy and Jason David Frank within a 2 weeks timespan. 2 of my heroes. It's definitely been a rough couple weeks.
when we rolled the dice we got straight streaks of 20s 19s and 14s
I ended up rolling twice and got 19 and 12
Reading from history, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasions_of_Japan Jump to the 2nd Mongol invasion in 1281, Jin could go in other directions besides Tsushima. "Second invasion preparations" means Jin could visit Southern China (Yuan dynasty) and go to Korea (Goryeo) to slow down the invasion.
Yeah, he easily could. there was a villager who alluded to invading the Mongolian steppes at the end of the game. I personally think Jin will go into hiding in Okinawa.
keep it in your pants wulf, we all know this reboot is gonna suck.
Can't really tell if it's gonna suck when it's not even out yet lol
This is Red Dead Redemption in Japan.
Haha you're not wrong
I'd like to know why Jin has an inexplicable change of heart towards people who exploit, abuse and murder innocent Japanese people on Iki Island. There was no come to Jesus moment for the raiders, they even say they can't wait to start pillaging villages again. So Jin just becomes buddies with his father's murderer, and is friends with them despite all of that, for no apparent reason. But he still kills straw hats and Japanese bandits for doing the same thing that the raiders have, and will continue, to do. For such a fantastic, moving and well-written story, this just doesn't add up on any level. You can choose to kill your own uncle, who consistently means the world to Jin, but you're forced to condone the rape/murder/pillaging behavior of his father's killer and his buddies, with no say in the matter. Jin's ENTIRE IDENTITY as the Ghost is centered around not just killing Mongolian invaders, but ANYONE who does those things. Immersion is totally broken.
You make some valid points. I personally don't feel the immersion was broken. I highly doubt Jin was actually condoning their actions, something you have to think about, no matter which ending you choose Jin is on the run, the shogun is ready to send forces to eliminate Jin. What's Jin going to do? Take on the entire force of raiders and pirates ontop of the remaining Mongolian army with the Shogun's army hunting him down? As skilled as Jin is there's no way he'd be able to fight through all that. I think Jin is carefully picking his battles and trying not to draw attention to himself. The events that transpired on Iki was probably too much heat for him to take in the first place. He's already a criminal as it is so it would make sense for him to start interacting with more bandits and other criminals. Another thing to remember is Shimmura had a pirate contact in his debt during the base game in Act 2. Jin might be doing the same with these bandits. He could use this as an opportunity to build a ninja force using these bandits while keeping them in check. Whether any of this holds any validity is anyone's guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens if it gets a sequel.
@@WulfTheRonin It's true that the odds are stacked against him if he were to stay on Iki Island where everyone hates him already, and take on all of their warriors/raiders etc. But it's the personal, specific forgiveness and cordial attitude towards the end that is nonsense to me. The real Ghost of Tsushima would have, in the best case scenario, thanked the raiders for their help against the Eagle, agreed to move past the past, on the condition that the future doesn't continue on the same course. Again, remember the straw hats and bandits. They're still getting stomped on the regular by Jin. Just because he's technically a "criminal" doesn't all of a sudden make all other actual criminals his brethren. And smuggling silk is a far cry from rape/murder/pillage in the comparison of Shimura's Goro and Jin's raiders. I just don't see one single piece of reason in the main story of Jin that would ever make what he did on Iki Island make sense. Also let's remember Ryuzo, and how he tried to bargain with Jin at the end, and offered to join forces. But it was too late, his crimes were too severe in Jin's eyes. At no point after that did Jin regret that decision or change his mind, he just regretted that it came down to that. Well, the straw hat ronin's transgressions pale in comparison to the Iki Island raiders. They were such a menace that the shogun literally sent Jin's dad to wipe them out. But the whole narrative on Iki Island is that Jin's dad is somehow the bad guy, because of collateral damage, even though the townspeople completely support the raiders doing even worse to Tsushima villagers for no reason. And the old guy in the horse armor quest with the sob story about his fictional "6 year old sister being cut down by the Sakai Butcher" was lying through his teeth. The dude is like 70 years old, those events happened no more than 15 years prior, and there is no way a 55 year old man in ancient Japan had a 6 year old sister. They're all full of shit. They support the abhorrent behavior of their own people, and then whine and cry when retribution from the Samurai comes. Does that excuse the collateral damage and misdeeds of the Samurai invasion of Iki? No, of course not. It just makes the Iki Island people hypocrites, and adds fuel to the frustration of what I'm talking about. Maybe it was just poorly written, or made by the B team or something, but it still had to go through approval and it's confusing that it was released in the state it is, considering how stellar and airtight the main game is. What you said about keeping them in check, that's what I'm not seeing in the in-game dialogue, and that's the issue. It's striking to me, because Jin's personal sense of justice and morality is literally his entire identity and the driving force of the whole game.
I'm prediting the second game will be dealing with conflicts from japan instead of outside threat and jin will definitely have a high level skilled villain to face such as "Battousai" since is the only kind of warrior that will be able to face jin.
I think he'll head to Okinawa since a lot of the misconceptions we have about ninjas (Mainly that ninjas and samurai fought) originate from Okinawa. I think it would be interesting to see if the mainland had more elite training compared to what Jin and Shmmura had learned on Tsushima.
Hello! Just wanted to say good job on the video! I like that there is still ambiguity today about which is the "correct" ending, and so both endings are affirmed for all people. I also liked that there are so many different ways to interpret it. One little thing I want to mention: Kurosawa's film The Hidden Fortress features a duel in which the punishment for failing is NOT seppuku. (Spoilers ahead) The protagonist defeats an enemy samurai lord and then has mercy on him (in front of many witnesses too). That samurai goes back to his general and is humiliated, beaten and scarred. The samurai returns to the protagonist and says "See my scarred face?! You did this to me! You shouldn't have spared me!" But the protagonist says "It's not me who did this to you, you have a wicked lord! Leave him and join me instead!" and then the samurai becomes allies with the protagonist. Considering Ghost of Tsushima is actually more akin to Kurosawa samurai narratives than historic Japan (also seppuku didn't exactly exist yet in Kamakura era), I think they took inspiration from this duel. That said, I don't think Shimura would have been ordered to kill himself by the shogun. Perhaps some lingering humiliation, but I think he'd stay in power. If he did get beaten and scarred by the shogun, that would be pretty interesting, and if it leads to resentment and later open rebellion against the shogun, that would be super cool. Shimura siding with the Emperor to get revenge, eventually bringing down the Kamakura shogunate? And then reuniting with Jin? An unlikely scenario but would be quite a twist for the character. Shimura may have his code, but I always felt that he put family first, hence why he "punishes" himself with the duel. He blames himself for accidentally teaching Jin to put kindness ahead of obedience.
I'm glad you liked the video!! You know I haven't even thought about that. It's been a little bit since I've really sat down and watched Forbidden Fortress great film though. And you know, that could actually be a scenario with the potential sequel since the game is heavily inspired by Kurosawa's works anyways.Thanks for the insight I'm very excited to see where SP goes.
He killed shimura because it was the "honourable" thing to do and it was what needed to happen to prevent his uncle from shame. I don't think he would feel guilty about killing him... he'd feel guilty about the circumstances that brought it to that point
I totally agree, all the things leading up to the death he'd probably feel guilty about rather than actually killing him. Jin would probably feel more guilty keeping Shimmura alive due to the fact he would essentially be forcing his uncle to live in shame.
This is late but I disagree. The whole journey is about Jin discarding his honor. He loves his uncle so he already wouldn’t want to. But on top of that he wouldn’t abide by his uncles wishes. He fully embraces the ghost, discards his honor, and doesn’t kill him
@@Mr-Farrenheit i can understand your reasoning and i do agree somewhat but in my mind i'm pretty sure that Shimura would die anyway.. he has failed the Shogun and been dishonoured so he would most likely end up committing Seppuku Edit: so idk, it make more sense with my view of morality or whatever... Athough Jin has forsaken his samurai ways, he knows how much it means to his uncle... and seeing as the Shogun ordered Shimura to kill Jin, it makes sense that Jin should kill him because he knows that if he doesn't then Shimura would be dishonoured and have to commit seppuku, so its kind of a mercy killing, he gives Shimura an "honourable death"
I believe that the games will comeback , 10 years make me scared , the company could just split , be sold..workers could leave too or retired , kinda sad but yeh . They never said they won’t go back to it , the company is more !focused on the new for them sadly and gladly for them . Let’s Just wait :)
Yeah, it is unfortunate but we could see it in the future (still waiting on that sly film) but im looking forward to their new stuff. Sucker Punch always release great games.
I agree with you.
JASON DAVID FRANK SO AWESOME AT WASHINGTON STATE SUMMER CON 2022 !!!
Yeah!!! He was super inspirational and motivational.
There’s a clip on Reddit of the developers saying the spare is the canon one.
Yes, I acknowledged that in the video. When Nate fox says the "True ending" I think he's mostly talking about how sparing shimmura would've been Jin's true ending since letting his family live is ultimately what he wanted. Personally, I don't see them dropping a canon confirmation like this. Sucker Punch always likes to leave the player in suspense with their ambiguous endings. We didn't know that the Infamous 2 canon ending was hero until we actually played Second Son. So again I think when Nate Fox said that the spare ending was the "true ending" he's saying that that's the one he wanted since Shimmura was his favorite character.
@@WulfTheRonin Wrong, he said he choses the kill ending all the time because he liked shimura, but he said the true ending for the game is for Jin to spare his uncle. It doesnt make sense for him to kill his final family member, for honor
@@sherozsheroz The clip I saw off reddit only really states that it's Nate Fox's ending. I didn't see anything about confirming any ending as canon. As far as we know it's still ambiguous. In regards to killing Shimmura it does make sense. Just because Jin has fully accepted the path of the Ghost doesn't mean he drops the code he's been living by for 30+ years overnight. I've said this before, at the end of the day Jin is and always will be Samurai at heart.
@@WulfTheRonin I am playing through the Iki Island DLC and I just had a cutscene where Jin has a vision and relives killing Shimura. Directly next to the Gonoura Cape Hot Spring. I wonder if this event is just not there if you chose to spare him? Also, during the "Bloodletting" storyline, Jin makes a comment to Yamaneko that killing a relative is a difficult thing to do.
@@sherozsheroz literally the game is called ghost of tsushima and the spare ending he puts the ghost mask in and excepts his new role
I'm hoping Jin Sakai & Yuna flee to mainland Japan to become the first Shinobi (fictionally) and have them head to Iga/Koga to take up residents and teach it's people to use his tactics to help them survive, whilst being hunted by the shogun. It would be amazing to have both samurai/ninja weaponry both melee & projectiles. Shurikens, bows, blowpipes, tekko-kagi, kusarigama, yari/spear katana - even pick up dirt and throw it in enemy eyes to improvise and collect ingredients to craft your own poisons! Just to have a full variety!
Having them essentially found the Iga/Koga clans is an interesting idea I don't think the timing matches up but to start a foundation for it would be quite interesting. I honestly think they might go to Okinawa and hideout there since going to the mainland might draw too much attention and the shogun would probably anticipate that. Yeah, I love the katana but just to have the option for other weapons would go a long way I can't wait to see what they have in store for us.
@@WulfTheRonin I'd say it's the perfect time to reach Iga! - because it was in the 1200s historically when these tactics were being practiced by the people of Iga - however they didn't start renting their skills out to warlords until the 1300s. It would also be epic to choose between playing as Yuna or Jin for the story and depending on who you pick they story will be slightly different. It would be an awesome change of pace. It would also be cool to have shinobi style clothing along with a headdress/cowl/headwrap/hood and a face mask/cloth which can be different dark colors!
@@Shadowman9348 Ahhh see I initially thought Iga/Koga were'nt a thing until the 1300's thanks for clearing that up, I know more samurai history and culture than I do ninja lol I would love to see them lean more into the ninja stuff although I played the game more samurai myself but that's neither here nor there UI'm just excited to see what they come up with
I for one refuse to believe that Sly Cooper has gone forever. First of all, this announcement might just be a misdirection to get people to stop asking about these franchises until September when Sony makes its "big" announcement. If this statement is for real and SP doesn't want to do anything with Sly anymore, then they should sell the rights to another studio! Sanzaru games made "Theives in Time" and they did a good job, even if they could use a suggestion as to how to put Penelope back on the team. My point being that if one of the most popular Playstation characters who still has a lot of potential to be explored is only gathering dust in his current hands, then he should be put in someone else's hands who believes in him as much as his fans do. Ten years is long enough to wait for a continuance!
It's honestly really hard to say because you're right it could be a misdirection. But in a case like this I don't think they should sell. They said so themselves it's not that they'll never go back to these franchises just now isn't the time. And from what ive learned with the games industry is usually when they stop a certain franchise it's because the devs don't feel like there's much to add when it comes to gameplay mechanics, or narrative. For the case of infamous and sly SP probably don't feel ready to continue those games, and would rather focus their time and energy on their current project.
@@WulfTheRonin I still say that ten years is too long. They have to realize that the longer they wait, the more fans they are going to lose. If no one announces Slys comeback by the end of this year, then it will be my New Years' resolution to find a way to contact Sucker Punch or Facebook or Sony or whoever has the final say in bringing Sly back, and tell them right to their faces to stop waiting on a good thing.
@@cbertain1 I appreciate the enthusiasm, but all that will do is get you blocked by Sony, Playstation, Sucker Punch etc. These developers work hard to bring us great games. They don't owe us anything. If they choose not to bring back Sly, if they feel that right now isn't the time, then that is their choice. I'd rather them move forward with new ideas and engaging characters and immersive worlds rather than going backwards.
I've always leaned towards the SPARE option as cannon due to it completing Jin's transformation into the Ghost. I also believe this choice makes more sense due to his motivation for abandoning his code stemming from his desire to do what ever it takes to protect his home and family. By sparing his uncle it sends a message that he rejects the code of the samurai if it means hurting his loved ones which he holds in higher regards. With that said, I think you layout a lot of good points to justify the KILLING option. At this point I still lean towards SPARE but I think this just shows how well thought out the decision is presented to the player. Both choices seem like a believable decision that Jin could make in that senario.
I agree with this comment. The title of the game is Ghost of Tsushima not samurai of Tsushima
@@williamstockton5597 I don't really see what the title has to do with it. Despite what ending you choose you're still the Ghost of Tsushima. Jin is still samurai at his core and he's really only been rationalizing his decision as bending the code not full on breaking it. So to me, I think he would want to honor the last of his remaining family not just for Shimmura but maybe because he thinks he can find some sort of redeeming quality for himself since he's been disobeying his uncle for the entire game. That's just my thoughts on it though, I think the ambiguity of the endings was done quite nicely.
@DaxReviews You make a good point about how sparing completes his transformation as the ghost, and while I agree that it sends a message I don't think Jin saw it like that in this situation. At least how I interpreted it was that Jin didn't want to kill his last remaining family and like throughout the rest of the game he rationalized. So him saying "I have no honor so, I won't kill my family" was more like a perfect excuse for him to let Shimmura live rather than him sending a message. Because I think given how Jin has acted throughout the game has been message enough and I don't think Jin would be that petty about it. Plus I don't think Jin was really aiming to break the code, as I state in the video when you're raised to live a certain way breaking those morals and codes is not an easy thing to do which is why he rationalizes so much through out the game. Jin tells Yuna, "I will never break my code" "Then bend it," Yuna responds. I think this scene here is really what solidifies Jin's decision to "bend" his code just until the Mongols are pushed back. I think you're right though they did a great job on both endings and I love the ambiguity they left us with. Some of the best writing have ambiguous endings.
@@WulfTheRonin Yeah I would agree with that. I guess what I meant to say is this decision of Spare "sends a message" to the audience that Jin's transformation is complete. I'm curious to see what Jin's "Bending" of his code will end up as in a sequel. Does Jin completely abandoned the ways of the Ghost or does he double down on his tactics or maybe most likely somewhere in the middle? Another reason I'd like to see some type of ninja introduced to challenge these beliefs.
@@DaxReviews I think he'll double down on his path of the ghost and reestablish the sakai clan as a ninja clan teaching farmers and fisherman his ways to maybe possibly launching a strike at the Mongolian steppes which was alluded to at the end of the game.
I'm super excited to see how they expand on to the great gameplay.
Sucker Punch has a bunch of open positions so we could be seeing a sequel in the not so far future
I made a follow up video talking about why I think one of the endings is the canon ending check it out here!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6WItdB-YZbKYto.html
Hey WulftheRonin, I'd love to get your opinions on some of my theories in my Ghost of Tsushima 2 video.
Усаги ёдзибо
I'm not so sure about the other weapons. I just don't want the weapon system to become too complex and rpg-like. Part of what made this game so engaging was how deep the combat was, not how wide it was.
You make a good a point, I don't want a stat based weapon system but rather just a few ninja weapon additions. Nothing too crazy maybe a spear, a kusari-gama, and maybe the tonfa or sai.
@@WulfTheRonin Good point, I especially wanted duelists to have different weapons. Whenever I faught mongol generals, I always used the shieldbreaking stance. I think they started getting somewhere with that in the dlc
Yeah same the duels got a little easy to read that's probably my biggest want for a sequel is more dynamic and intense duels. And Yes I agree I think Iki was onto something
My band produced a Star Wars punk-rock song in Chicago that is a spin on "The Empire Strikes Back". Please click on our sleeping tiger icon to possibly give it a listen. It is called "Lightsaber Language".
- I think they should add a punishment system in combat - As you said about different weapons, they should also add different real life techniques (Like musashi's One katana and one tanto) - They should copy the FCV feature where you can send allies in enemies (Like the thing you said) - Perfect parry and perfect dodges shouldn't give you an instant kill - Enemies should have the ability to dodge and parry your attacks - Parrying should only give you larger window for a normal attack
I would love to see Miyamoto's dual wield style but it is very unlikely as Miyamoto was around during the Sengoku period which is a good 300-400 years after the first Mongolian invasion. I'm actually fine with the one hit kill perfect dodge/parry. They designed the game around how lethal that katana is. Japanese sword fights back in the day weren't as drawn out as we see in film. They are another more slower and quicker....yeah I know that seems confusing lol. But what I mean is that they were slower because each opponent took their time to find the perfect opening once they did it was game over for the other guy. However with that said I do agree that opponents should be able to parry your attacks and give the player an opportunity to dodge to make another opening. Or something to make the duels a little challenging.
Great video
Thank you glad you liked it I have a follow-up video about the canon ending dropping hopefully sometime this week.
It would be cool if the sequel follows up Jim Sakai and Yuno married living in the Japanese mainland hiding from the shogun inspiring and recruiting shinobi to overthrow a corrupt samurai government
I actually have a theory about that. Ninja and samurai never really fought like that. More times than not samurai would hire ninja or do the things shinobi did. This misconception I believe started in Okinawa. Even though Okinawa is part of the Japanese archipelago the Japanese didn't treat them as such. So the Okinawan farmers used their tools tk make weapons and fight back. There's more to it which I'll discuss in a future video.
As far as ghost is concerned I think Jin and Yuna will move their operations to Okinawa where the shogun's forces will hunt them there. Plus Ghost of Okinawa has a good ring to it
Indeed it would.
8:53 It looks more like a Garuda to me. That honestly makes more sense to see in a series with heavy influence from Eastern mythology.
I wasn't too familiar with Garuda aside from Final Fantasy XIV lol but after looking up some images...Yeah I think you're right I can definitely see that being Garuda.
It's strange that Tomoe hasn't been featured yet. I mean, they give Chizu a descendant to pal around with Yuichi, but no Tomoe?
Adam mcClelland, I think the reason why they didn't give tomoe a descendant is because yuchi is her descended as well as usagi. I mean although usagi has had several love interests during the comics (including chizu) but I think tomoe was more or else his true love, so I am thinking at some point after the comics usagi and tomoe did get together and have children (eventually leading to yuchi). Therefore the reason why instead of tomoe descendant with have chizu descendant instead. I personally think chizu will be yuchis love interest in the show as sort of like a comparison to their ansectors who while had on and off feelings for each other they ultimately didn't end up together.
I like this theory, I'll admit I haven't read all the classic comics yet I'm more caught up with the current IDW run. But from what I have read I can already see the clear chemistry between Usagi and Tomoe.. Perhaps Tomoe will appear as a character later down the line within the series. You mentioned Yuchi I'll take the L on this one but I don't know who that is could you elaborate for me?
@@WulfTheRonin thats the name of usagis descendant, the main character on the upcoming new show on netflix.
@@calumarter Oh, I thought they were still naming him Usagi
@@WulfTheRonin I think yuchi has been referred to usagi on at least article of the show I have read but most of the things I have seen say his name will be yuchi
You know, just because somethings meant for someone younger doesn't mean it can't be appreciated by older people. For example: I've only been reading Usagi since October last year, and I'm 28!

5:50 To be fair, this isn't the same Gen from the comic. I believe the main cast are supposed to be the descendants of prominent characters from the comic.
I know, seems I'm still stuck with wanting a traditional Usagi show, but I totally get why they're going in this direction. It's to potentially pull in new readers and younger audiences to give classic Usagi a shot. I totally agree with you on how adults can appreciate things that are meant for younger kids. Usagi is a perfect example of that. Usagi Yojimbo is actually a series I would recommend to parents to get their kids into comics. You know I did find it strange that we don't have Tomoe featured, she's very prominent in the history of Usagi. I wonder if she'll show up later in the season. I'm pretty excited to see this show. Sure I'm concerned but that's really just the traditional Usagi comic nerd in me. We'll just have to wait and see how this show turns out.
@@WulfTheRonin I totally understand your disappointment. Adaptation, sequel, spin-off or whatever you want to call it. We have a bad habit of trashing these 'co-properties' by unfairly comparing them to their source material.
@@adammcclelland5746, You're absolutely right, that's why I'm trying not to be too overly harsh since it hasn't come out yet. I'm still pretty excited that Usagi in some form is finally getting his spotlight
Kublai Khan never made it to Japan, I think he was like 80 years old and running his Empire in China by the time the Japanese invasion happened. but we could see one of his sons be featured as the big boss. Kublai died unable to successfully play out his desire to take Japan. It would probably be cool if there were more bad guys to fight. we had the Ronin, the Mongols, and there were some Bandits. Bandits should appear more in the game and have a more random set of fighting style. It would be cool to fight pirates more often near beaches. I also wish we could use the grappling hook as a weapon. that would be a cool combat style for the Ghost, Sword and Chain Sickle. (or Rope Dart.). A cool Ghost weapon to have is Blinding Powder like how Khotun used against Jin in the final boss battle. But honestly my biggest hope for the game is that they change the money system. Or atleast make it possible for Jin to customize his own gear and weapons by hunting and collecting wood and other materials. since he's exiled for life now. But that could give them an opportunity to introduce interesting characters to help with that like Taka the Black Smith. its annoying to end the game having loads of money and not being able to spend it on anything beyond weapon refills, after buying every single item the merchant had to offer. and then also having loads of wood and linen and other materials, and nothing to do with it. we could at least use that for repairing Armour after a mission.. It would also be nice to periodically play as other characters. SInce Yuna and Norrio were so useful in battle. he might be able to assemble his own Ghost Brotherhood. like in Assassins creed. I think a special move to have in Ghost of Tsushima 2 would be a disarm, and then that should be the mechanic for switching to other weapons for combat. I think it would reduce the symbolism and the character aspects of Jin if we had the choice to abandon the sword for something else. But I think disarming an enemy and using their own weapon against them is a great way to trigger the "Terror" in or "Fright" in enemies. and he can drop the weapon or embed it in his enemies before heading out from the scene. also I agree they should take a page from the Arkham games with the terror feature, enemies reacting to their comrades being slaughtered. I think that the more the Ghost legend grows, the enemies should periodically become increasingly more paranoid. would definitely increase the enjoyablity of game play. maybe even have the bad guys talk about the Ghost as a myth?
You make a valid point when I recorded this, I didn't even think about how old Kublai would've been at this point in time. I feel like if we do get a sequel the grappling hook weapon would take the form of the Kusarigama since it's already a rope/chain weapon. While I did enjoy the simplicity of the game's economy I do have to agree that after you clear the game and get everything the materials just kinda don't matter especially when you do multiple files of NG+. A disarm would be nice to have, and even unarmed combat would be pretty cool. Karate, Tae Kwon -Do, Aikido (I guess at this point in time they'd still be using Tae Kwon-Jutsu, or Aiki-jutsu not sure how it's said with the latter lol) I think what we got was a very good game and as a foundation there is a lot that they could expand upon to make the game even better. I really do hope that Sucker Punch sticks with this franchise for a while because. We don't see a lot of open world samurai games. At least I'm not aware of any.
nice would be your first comment
And in good ol star wars fashion, "Hello there"
