- How Lady Masako's entire family was butchered over jealousy, anger, and arrogance. Lady Masako lost everything and is possibly the saddest character in the game of ghost of tsushima

Norio next? Also, maybe combine all the Ghost videos into a long bingeable video?
Norio was my favorite story.
I say "Hell yes!" to both.
I'd watch long-form versions of this content. Looking forward to whatever you put out next. ^_^
I’m a simple man, I see a new CynicGTA GoT video, I click on it.
Poor, sweet Norio. That was the other story that made me weep.
I have to say, Masako's face when she's looking at her burning sister is deeply disturbing.
True. I played through that part recently, and she's just so... empty and soulless after all this. I can only wonder what happens with her after the end of the game.
she lost like 9-13 family members its those numbers or inbetween i forget but its understandable at this point in this game I don't doubt that she feels like she has nothing to live for jin and the fact others are suffering is the only thing keeping her going now 🤷♂️
She’s truly dead inside by this point
Also wanna add that this game happens in a matter of probably 2 months. So, losing her whole family literally overnight, plus going on a vengeful rampage (without even mourning first, but how do you mourn this in the middle of a war/invasion?) for 2 months? Yeah, that's gonna take a serious toll on her. How could anyone recover from all this?
@@blutarchmann9070 Even less. The First Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274 lasted a couple of weeks. Even if we were to assume that they held Tsushima for slightly longer, they probably could have held it for another week or two (if they didn’t immediately leave).
She lost her husband and sons at Komoda, and the traitors attacked the Adachi estate on the night of Komoda. So yeah, overnight. Which is pretty sad.
Yes, Hana was a victim of her social structure, but she took it out on people who did her no wrong to get revenge on her sister.
My mom was sitting with me while I was playing this side mission. She wasn’t interested in it at first but she eventually was and asked me to finish that story so she could see what happened.
Starting Lady Masako's quest line I initially believed Sogen's own actions where driven by personal vengeance, perhaps her husband had committed some brutal act against him in the past but no, he was just collaborating out of a grandiose delusion. Then by the end of it all we are reminded that yes, petty jealousy is a killer. Literally.
I think this is a perfect example of revenge, stripping everything even memories of her family.
I’ll really do wish we had more side quest with these characters after the story was over or in the dlc 😢
No one deserves what Lady Masako experienced her husband burnt alive her sons slaughtered their wives fallen in battle before her eyes her grandchildren/grandchild murdered "Little Natsu she was just born" she had to bury her infant granddaughter no parent should have to bury their child but Lady Masako had to bury everyone she loved in one night
Revenge is always a fools game but it was the only thing that Lady Masako could see each of the individuals on that list deserved death and she gave that to them but it did not change what she had lost she had only moments to grieve yes she had a moment with her husband and her sons but she never properly took the time to grieve and when her path of vengeance was over Tsushima was no longer her home now she must walk alone as the last member of Clan Adatchi
She continues living as the only survivor when her children and her children's children had fallen I can't imagine a fate more cruel
*gasp for air*
I felt so bad for her. I wished that this side mission had a different outcome or revelation
That’s how at least half the missions in this game are unfortunately, you go to save someone’s relative but it turns out they’re already dead and you have to break the news to them. I enjoyed this game a lot but those moments made me very sad.
@@hammerheadtheseawing3263i kinda respected it because i feel like its the opposite of most games you always save them and its a somewhat happy ending, cyberpunks goated for doing that too
Of all the tales, Masako's hit hardest for me (perhaps because I'm a grandmother, so I understood her desire to slay everyone involved). I was with her for vengeance every step, but wow the poor woman went batshit. When she threw down with Jin, I knew that no matter who we found at the end of her trail of suspects it wouldn't be enough. And it wasn't.
Just finished her quest line yesterday. She's one of the most well-written characters I've ever had the honor of following.
Masako Adachi
Lady of Clan Adachi
Vengeful Widow
Wife of Harunobu Adachi
Mother of Shigesato and Yasunari
Ruthless swordswoman
Bane of injustice
Bringing out punishment to those who wronged her
She threw away her family's memory in pursuit of vengeance
She has nothing left
She cannot find peace
Hana, lost all credibility for mercy the moment she started to plan the massacre.
Best mum of the game, i always thought she filled the mum role for jin and jin filled the role of son for her
I thought that was Yuriko
@@digivagrant who was she again?
@@humzahkhan363 The servant for the Poison Dart
I do have a question. The other Side Tales serve as foils and warnings to Jin on what happens if he lets the Ghost persona overtake his whole life. (Norio, Sensei Ishikawa) But what lesson does Lady Masako's tale teach to Jin?
Masako let her justified grief and anger drive her to increasingly brutal actions to the point she tried to kill Jin because he wouldn't let her torture a monk that was only holding to his principles. She's also a warning that all the pain and hurt he's accumulating in his quest will still remain after the Khan is dead and he'll need to find a way to live with it, just like Masako must.
Vengence left her nothing
Violence breeds violence
But in the end...
Most likely the senselessness of seeking revenge. Like Masako, he is the last of his family, and like her he is a samurai of a noble house. He has witnessed much death, and he wants to avenge those lost to the Mongol invasion. However, if he were to do what Masako does, devote his life to seeking revenge/death, it would only consume him and leave him empty. In the end Masako has lost everything she cared about and can't regain any of it. She has no justice and no peace. She's broken. She can't even start a new family due to her age. Her life is over. She is a ghost forever mourning her lost family. Jin still has a future, despite the pain and losses he has suffered.
Honestly Hana is in my opnions one of the worst of the villians in the game
I totally agree
worst in a she's really evil way or in a she's a bad character way?
@@dantesamuels2209 worst in the evil way.
Well written like the rest of the characters
@@dantesamuels2209Someone stated this but she was ultimately a victim of the social structure in that era of Japan. That being said, her jealousy and the things that she did is unforgivable due to the fact that Masako was innocent in the matter of which husbands choose their spouse.
@GLAPostalService1
That is fair she is definitely a victim of the society she was born in.
but I feel she is spiteful hateful person anyway, she showed no remorse and choose to throw herself onto the blade in a final act of spite.
These videos have been a good binge over the last couple days, thanks bro!
I'm a PC player so I just got GoT a few weeks ago and you videos have been great background listening now that I have the story all wrapped and I'm just wandering to collect dyes and banners.
i used to watch all your doom videos a few years ago. As soon as i clicked on this video i thought to myself that I'm pretty sure I've heard this guys voice before. One search later, it was confirmed that you're the same dude. Good to see that you're still making videos man. This game is truly amazing too, can't stop playing it.
Love these so much great work 👍
Thank you for making this video, I always had question about her family drama
You should make a video on Talion from the "Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor/War" games as I believe he is a pretty tragic character, who sacrifices his humanity for revenge, and the safety of middle-earth.
Hell Yes! Honestly always looking for a reason to replay the Middle Earth Games. The gameplay is too good
@CynicGTA Sounds good!
underrated story
I played this game with the Japanese dubs so it’s a bit odd for me to hear the English ones, but I do gain an appreciation for these characters a little more when I can understand what they’re saying, and how much emotion they’re putting into every word.
same it sounds way cooler that way, but I do appreciate the english it just doesn't sound right its 1200 japan they shouldn't be speaking english 🤦
If you haven't done one yet, you should do an essay on Yuna she's a very interesting character.
She definitely handled the situation way better than that Warrior Monk who started burning the Mongols and says he can never return after this.
I'd say Norio handled it better than she did. Yes, he betrayed his principles, but he doesn't deny that. He only targets the people responsible for torturing his brother and only after he has to put his own brother down to ease his suffering. Norio's fury was focused. Masako was going beyond reason and out of control.
I don't know if this is confirmed, but a particular detail I've noticed on Hachi's robes (brother of Sadao) bears on it the emblem of Hana's clan. You can see it behind him when he was stabbed and bound by the mongols by the cemetery after killing Hina.
What’s the detail
You never said
0:15 Is a mod right? Also amazing video!
A mod? Nope this is all stock gameplay
The greatest mod of all time:
Cape remover
