The white and red leaves on the space where you duel, just noticed that and can be interpreted as the two conflicting sides, or almost like the Yin and Yang. great attention to detail! I was pretty upset as I composed my very last Haiku...
True, It took me a good 5 minutes to make a decision but ultimately I honored lord shimura, it just felt like the right thing to do considering all that he did for Jin.
@Raxes ! Really. Lord Shimura got a mission to kill Jin. From here there are 3 options: 1. He kills Jin. 2. He gets killed by Jin. 3. He gets killed by the Shogun.
Sariti S lol, nope. The actor who played Jin spared him. It makes sense why, he already separated himself from samurai and most importantly his words make you realize he can’t kill his Uncle Shimura : “I will not kill my family”. Also, Shogun doesn’t have to kill him since they already told him to train samurai to fight against Mongols.
@@dragonkamranIf so, the actor who played Jin made his choice, that's all. There is a choice and I made mine and I believe it's the right one - the one JIN SAKAI would have done in deep respect to his uncle. I won't take the other choice, aka sparing Lord Shimura because it's just wrong and defiles his legacy. Lord Shimura wished death as a warrior and Jin still has some honor to the Samurai code as we can see in the last battle so he needs to grant it. Lord Shimura asked to adopt Jin. Since it was impossible, Jin's head was the price to continue Shimura's line, but it was also a mission, a duty given by the Shogun. Why did I say the Shogun will kill him without the requested head? Because in the past Japanese war lords risked excecution if not fulfilling the Shogun's orders.
@@flannelfan433that's beside the point. The delivery in the language the game is inspired from seems honored even if it isn't the primary used one here. I hold it in high regard. :)
This game has leaved a mark on my heart. I will never forget this marvelous trip and this scene, that broke my heart. Great videogame, In my opinion one of the best ones of all times.
If you kill shimura you get the white ghost outfit. White is a pure colour that symbolises death in Japanese culture. So much detail in this game. As well as the red and white leaves showing conflicting emotions and also reflecting the colour of the outfit you obtain based on your final choice.
When you see Shimuras face when he kneels to meditate before the duel his face is full of so much emotion. Him holding back tears anguishing over the fact he was about to kill Jin. It was the last thing he wished for and it was tearing him apart on the inside. Despite not being actual family he truly loved Jin like a son. This ending affirms Jin may have disagreed with the samurais rigid code and acknowledges that although he strayed from the path but he still respected and loved Shimura like a father. This ending is all about loss, regret and family while Shimura dies with a glimmer of hope that Jin can possibly be redeemed and Shimura is remembered as a noble samurai who died for Tsushima. The other ending is a bit more grim being about rebellion, abandonment and Jin severing his ties leaving Shimura wounded but alive to regret the past for the rest of his life probably ending with him most likely being dishonored, stripped of his post and subsequently forced to commit Seppuku in front of the Shogun as atonement for both his failure to slay the ghost and his defeat. Meanwhile The Ghost spends the rest of his days in hiding as a wanted fugitive helping innocent people when he is able, striking injustices from the shadows, becoming more a myth than man. Well that's how I saw things anyway
Probably not considering they need Shimura to teach them how to defeat the mongols. No doubt dishonored but certainly not killed. The spare ending also fits because he is not bound by honor anymore so he has no reason to honor his request. I actually like both endings because they make sense! It seems in character for Jin too. Hopefully if we get a GoT2, we see Jin learning that you need both honor and ghost/dishonor(?). Because if you are bound too much by dishonor, you are nothing but a murderer but if you are bound by honor than you are rigid and inflexible.
Crap I spared him to. At the time I felt like it was the right thing but afterwards I felt wrong. It felt like we separated on bad terms and if you kill him it's like saying good bye on good terms. Let me go back dammit!
I personally align with the honourable route but I went with the spare option. To say that the honour route is the true nature of the game means you weren't paying attention. The natural progression of the game is Jin embracing the ghost and not letting the shackles of tradition get in the way of his belief system. So while I tried my hardest to play honourably and even agreed with Shimura majority of the time the Spare ending was clearly the more logically consistent with the theme of the game. I think both endings are just as good quality wise though.
@@kristophergap17 yeah I agree after time to think to. Killing him is sort of a more tragic ending but in a good sorta way I think. I felt a little weird after sparing him. But if you think about it sparing him I feel like is more of the logical way for jins journey. Not that either ending is wrong or right, it's what the player feels. But if you really want to know. The guy who voiced jins character chose spare as well. And the director of the game said that the spare option is the canon one. And future dlc may go off of that ending.
@The FunSociety i get what you're saying and i agree to a certain extent but the scene is about both characters. You can't just dismiss a whole character arc. The entire game centred around the theme of Jin letting go of tradition and killing Shimura in a final farewell to his honour of sorts definitely makes sense and i really enjoyed it and even somewhat wish i chose it but if the spare ending is indeed canon it would be safe to assume the developers would agree that the spare ending makes more sense for his character arc.
What a finale! When I played it for the first time, I had tears in my eyes as soon as the song started playing. I still get a bit emotional, watching it now on TH-cam. Killing Lord Shimura, giving him an honorable death, was, in my book, the "correct" decision.
Even though I know the other ending is canon, I still badly want this ending to be the true ending. Throughout the whole game, Shimura has disliked and even despised the way Jin was going about saving people and he made it very clear to Jin but the whole time Shimura’s love for Jin outweighed his actions. The only reason he was going to kill Jin was because of the Shogun, which if he defies his orders than it will go against everything he has lived by so he has no choice but to at least try. I feel as if Shimura didn’t want to but was bound by honor and loyalty to the Shogun. To repay the love Shimura has shown to Jin for all of his life, the least Jin can do, even if he doesn’t believe in it, is to give Shimura the honorable death that he deserves. I’d rather see Jin make this decision out of love rather than make a decision based on his morality. In my opinion, sparing Shimura is a heartless act from Jin. You can argue that he was acting heartless through the means that he killed others throughout the game, but why did he do it in the first place? He did it because he loved his family/clan and his nation that he fought for so much that it led him to using unhonorable methods. He never once did anything for himself in the game and was solely focused on saving Tsushima, so why now at the very end of the game he decides to act selfish and unloving by sparing Shimura completely threw me for a loop.
Because Tsushima needs a leader. A post war country is ripe for all kinds of debauchery. Shimura is respected and more importantly known to the people AND the war isn’t done at this point. Jin sacrifices the last of his honor for the same reason he started down that path: to save his homeland.
I killed him because I thought of all the possible scenarios of his future life from now on, including the possibility of him joining Jin in the future by giving up his own honor and give Jin the reason regarding the use of the poison... And I realized his life would be nothing but emptiness in the future. It's "better" this way. Let him die with his honor before he has the chance of losing it. So that Jin may pass down Shimura's wisdom for the future generations, and hopefully, create a new law that balaces both the Shogun and the Ghost's code.
Shimura would never abandon his honor, quite literally to his dying breath, his honor is everything to him. If he was willing to abandon his honor he'd have never even considered killing Jin for the Shogun. He was downright honorable to a flaw, the man was dedicated to his belief and that's why losing Jin hurt him so deeply, because he had instilled those same beliefs in his "son" as well.
@@alphacraig2001 it's not just that. Shimura would always be looked down by the Shogun and the other samurais as they might believe his defeat means he's not truly commited to capturing Jin, not to mention he could become bitter over time by seeing more people join the Ghost, leading him down a darker and more dishonorable path than Jin's. With the difference being he can't justify that path, since there's really no greater evil to be defeated. Besides, throught his death, Shimura would leave behind a legacy of honor. And Jin could use that legacy to one day bring balance to both the samurai code and the Ghost's tactics.
I personally spared him, but i had never seen the alternate ending until now. To say it brought tears to my eyes, especially hearing Jin scream in agony, is an understatement
I didn't want to choose this. Jin might not have been a samurai anymore, but Lord Shimura was. And an honorable death is what he deserves. And its better than the dishonor he may have faced telling the Shogun he failed at his task, being stripped of his rank and outcast. So really, it was also a mercy. A painful one, for Jin.
I remember playing this final level holding back tears in my eyes. Felt like the game could have gone into their relationship further, but the setting and music made everything so moving, it pushed me over the edge.
Personally I hope they didn't tell the voice actors there was an alternative ending and gave them this script. The scream reminds me so much of the pure agony of Arthur Morgan's "I am Afraid" from RDR2. Real emotion, powerful tool.
@@RG_Adapt TLOU2 Was fantastic in some aspects, but it failed HORRIBLY to make us feel bad or side with Abby, and almost all of us wanted to kill Abby in the end SO bad. I can understand that TLOU2 is about hate, and that the world in TLOU2 is cruel and everything, but i would had liked if they changed some stuff, like imagine Ellie found Joel and Tommy earlier, this time, they haven't meet Abby's group yet and when trying to think about a plan to escape the infected, some of them would lurk in and Joel, Tommie and Ellie would escape and later on they find the group Abby was sided with, they team up to escape the infected, and when Joel, Tommy and Ellie warm up a bit, Abby's group betrays Joel's group, then Joel protects Ellie but ends up dying while doing so. I think that would of had made for a better and longer game.
@@RG_Adapt as a standalone game, tlou2 was actually amazing. the thing that bothered me the most about it (at least for me personally) is how it ended. ellie literally lost everything, went one-woman-army mode and killed countless people, only to let abby live and escape. It's really stupid considering abby wouldve just died miserably had ellie not come, then ellie came along, let her loose, and didnt finish her off. That just left a bad aftertaste and ruined the game for me
I think the Japanese dub holds more weight than the English one, both were well done but I prefer the Japanese one. Can't wait for it to come on pc if it happens
I played this in Kurosawa mode, which is purely in Japanese, because it further enhances the experience of this game. And, I can most definitely say that this game deserved the 2020 Game of the Year award, but sadly it was robbed thanks to the garbage Woke of Us 2.
Also, it‘s really about HOW you kill him. If I knew it‘s going to be this emotional and without any bad feelings on Jin feelings, I would have chosen to kill him.
While I know that maybe it would be better for Shimura, a true Samurai, to kill him I couldn‘t get it over my heart. I came on TH-cam and after seeing this I like this tragic ending even more. Made me almost cry. THIS is the better ending.
I think it's interesting that out of my group of friends I was the only one to choose the kill option. Both make sense but to me it just felt more fitting to make sure he leaves with his honor than as a failure. Also that final shot hits so hard.
I’d love to play my second through in Kurosawa mode (black and white with Japanese dub) but I just can’t imagine the game without Daisuke Tsuji’s voice, it just doesn’t feel right without him
The video game was awesome through-and-through one of the best I've seen and played thus far; As far as the character of jin sakai goes I do not consider him a hypocrite at all, He showed himself to be the most honorable, more so than his uncle due to the fact that he valued innocent lives more than the need to appease the rigid dogma of the bushido code for the sake of his uncle and the shogun, they were facing an enemy that was using their code against them to take over the land and the people and jin saw no other choice but to break away from that in order for his people and his country to survive the murderous onslaught of the mongols, Thus it forced him down a path that he was Initially resistant to but ultimately embraced for the good of everyone Which in turn has made him a beloved living legend among his people as well as tsushima's very own japanese zorro, He may have sacrificed and lost everything because of the harsh choices he was forced to make, but he also gained a whole lot more from his willingness to sacrifice and lose everything for the greater good of all and he for a video game character has my utmost respect for that! 🔥🔥💯😁😉👍
I have just finished the game. I decided to spare Shimura, and I think to kill him is a grave mistake and would put Tsushima (and maybe Japan to an extent) in another war. I even think that Khotun Khan might have won in some way despite being defeated in the end.
I had to come back and watch the “kill” ending. I tried to save it so I could do both of them (kill and spare), but the game made me save over my data when I tried to load it- which is ridiculous 🤷🏾♂️ Good ending though
Nice video edit. Uncle whooped your butt at least 3 times before you beat him. You dishonor yourself for not showing your loses. Other than that great vid. Great game and the legends add makes it a classic.
RDR2 probably because of Arthur's death, and plus the fact that his death can be even worse/more gruesome if you finished the game with low honor, like for example if you had low honor and fought Micah in the go back for the money ending, Micah kills Arthur by plunging a knife through his back. That's why on my very first playthrough I made sure to get my honor up so that Arthur didn't have to go out like that.
Don't get me wrong tho, GOT's ending made me want to cry too, especially after choosing the kill Shimura ending where Jin is crying after stabbing him, the acting sounded extremely real so it hit hard.
I just watched the English version of this for the first time in a reaction video, and it’s so much worse. The catch in his throat when he says he will make sure he’s remembered as a father, and that heartbreaking scream after the act are so powerful in the Japanese dub
Jin's last scream sounds so real it gives me chills.

I’d love to play my second through in Kurosawa mode (black and white with Japanese dub) but I just can’t imagine the game without Daisuke Tsuji’s voice, it just doesn’t feel right without him
Dam this was way better than sparing him. I messed up.
“You have no honor.” “And you are a slave to it.” When I heard that I knew things could only end this way. What a great ending.
This is the true ending to me
You know a Video Game is special when you finish it in English and Japanese. In color and in Black and white.
I'm sorry Uncle
Had to get the White Ghost Drip tho 😭
Our final day together.... It is beautiful...
Look little ghost Jr, wanna cry? ;-;
Why did you cut out certain parts? The music whas getting Godlike there and godlike battle.
This game is hands down the best Playstation exclusive it was perfect, it should have gotten the GOTY award
What a game
Best game ever
What a fucking game! 🙌
👏👏👏
Jin's face said
I let him live
Lucky i change my rounin outfit as a white red, is Symbolysed that he honor his ancestor legacy.
The canon ending
The only game that made me feel the emotion that this made me feel is Red dead redemption 2😭
The video game was awesome through-and-through one of the best I've seen and played thus far; As far as the character of jin sakai goes I do not consider him a hypocrite at all, He showed himself to be the most honorable, more so than his uncle due to the fact that he valued innocent lives more than the need to appease the rigid dogma of the bushido code for the sake of his uncle and the shogun, they were facing an enemy that was using their code against them to take over the land and the people and jin saw no other choice but to break away from that in order for his people and his country to survive the murderous onslaught of the mongols, Thus it forced him down a path that he was Initially resistant to but ultimately embraced for the good of everyone Which in turn has made him a beloved living legend among his people as well as tsushima's very own japanese zorro, He may have sacrificed and lost everything because of the harsh choices he was forced to make, but he also gained a whole lot more from his willingness to sacrifice and lose everything for the greater good of all and he for a video game character has my utmost respect for that! 🔥🔥💯😁😉👍
Everything about this ending is wrong. It's more pain, more suffering, more loss.
Roronoa zoro vs blackbeard
I have just finished the game. I decided to spare Shimura, and I think to kill him is a grave mistake and would put Tsushima (and maybe Japan to an extent) in another war.
I even think that Khotun Khan might have won in some way despite being defeated in the end.
This dude is 100% playing it on easy mode I played it on plus and didn't get hit a single time because one strike was lethal
I was playing on hard+ and beat him first time
Sounds like skill issue
Thank goodness i completed the ending and only a few days after that this video came. For a few likes this mf would have spoiled my experience
"this ain't wano"
ZORO's crying
It's zoro vs naked snake (big boss). It cant be more badass than that
Zoro vs Blackbeard (Shimura VA)
sorry but you can’t come close to Jin’s Japanese dub scream
Thanks for the spoiler thumbnail!👍😃
would've been a spoiler if I uploaded this 2 weeks ago
I had to come back and watch the “kill” ending. I tried to save it so I could do both of them (kill and spare), but the game made me save over my data when I tried to load it- which is ridiculous 🤷🏾♂️
Good ending though
First time i played it i spare shimura
Zoro ate this role up
Zorros voice actor and black beards
Bro you are really bad in fighting
Could someone please give me the spelling of "Find me in the next life" in kanji? Thanks in advance!
Pourquoi j’ai autant mal en voyant les crédits …
Nice video edit. Uncle whooped your butt at least 3 times before you beat him. You dishonor yourself for not showing your loses. Other than that great vid. Great game and the legends add makes it a classic.
Probably didn't want to ruin the emotional impact of the scene. But your comment cracked me up haha
Whats sadder this or rdr2s ending?
Both. They are the best games i've ever played
The music is beautiful. It really sets off the ending scene
I’d say RDR2 because it had better narration and writing
But I wasn’t expecting Ghost of Tsushima to be so good though
RDR2 probably because of Arthur's death, and plus the fact that his death can be even worse/more gruesome if you finished the game with low honor, like for example if you had low honor and fought Micah in the go back for the money ending, Micah kills Arthur by plunging a knife through his back. That's why on my very first playthrough I made sure to get my honor up so that Arthur didn't have to go out like that.
Don't get me wrong tho, GOT's ending made me want to cry too, especially after choosing the kill Shimura ending where Jin is crying after stabbing him, the acting sounded extremely real so it hit hard.
Anyone knows the ost of 00:50 ?
sacrifice of tradition
Nooo
Finally an japanese dub, sorry but cant stand the the english ones its like AC:Unity all over again😂
The English is the original tho 😂
@@ChromeMan04 yeah but then again cant stand english dub i like to listen to their languages
@@TheNarutopower15 It's not an English dub 🤦♂️
I find it a crime to play this game in english
i wept
wtf.
This is how you do a final boss battle
Perfect ending indeed. 🙏👍
Zoro vs Blackbeard
The japanese dub>>>the english dub. Can´t change my mind
Cell: well good for you, you’re wrong
Everyone have their own preference…
@@mookiestewart3776 no i´m not
I just watched the enish version of the ending and I'm so glad I played this game in Japanese how immersion breaking it is
I just watched the English version of this for the first time in a reaction video, and it’s so much worse. The catch in his throat when he says he will make sure he’s remembered as a father, and that heartbreaking scream after the act are so powerful in the Japanese dub
Both the English and Japanese voice actors put a great deal of emotion in Jin. Gave me goosebumps
Japanese’s way better
Roronoa zoro!
ALPHA LEO No! English is better
Scarlet The Cat 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ lol why you think that?
@@scarletthecat632 what a great taste
