Sekiro: Ranking Bosses Strength Based on Lore
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มี.ค. 2024
- It's finally here! Sekiro Bosses Ranked by Lore!
I have compiled all of Sekiro's Boss encounters and ranked them based on how powerful they are according ONLY to their lore.
As always these are all my opinions, though a large amounts of research go into the videos in this series, there will always be some level of subjective world building required by Fromsoftware games, you're likely to have differing opinions - that's fine and is a cornerstone of why this community is as alive and well today as it was the day the first game was released.

I agree that Owl is probably stronger than Genichiro but there is no way that Owl actually took down Genichiro in battle, he doesn't take fights he doesn't have to and I 100% believe that Owl pulled a sneaky on Genichiro like he did with wolf
I thought exactly that, Owl most likely snuck up on Genichiro so i wouldn't take this as an actual feat.
This is too assumption based. I think Genichiro definitely gets downplayed by the fanbase but the fact is, Owl killed Genichiro. If it was that simple, why didn't Owl do a sneaky backstab on Isshin? Because Owl is simply more capable than Genichiro.
@@thedevilsadvocate4854
I disagree. I believe it is a feat.
@@okami7847its also too assumption based to think he actually won a fight with genichiro. He backstabs sekiro so why wouldn’t he do the same to genichiro. And perhaps cuz he could not sneak up on isshin the sword saint
@@munizbros999 There are no assumptions on my part, Owl killed Genichiro, that is a fact. Using your logic isn't favorable to Genichiro; Owl isn't able to sneak up on Isshin & failed to backstab Wolf in present time, two characters stronger than him. Yet is successful against Genichiro, why is that?
I’ve binged all these “strongest based on lore” videos you’ve done. It’s some of my fav content I’ve seen on TH-cam recently. Bravo!
Amen brotha!
Blazing bull number 1 LETS GOOO!!!
mist noble not being number 1 is a disgrace
I'm pretty sure Isshin does not adopt the power of tomoe, because when he does the lighning strikes, he catches the lightning coming down from the sky, he does not generate it like genichiro
This wouldn't really change the ranking, it's just an observation regarding your analysis
It just makes him more badass tbh
If anything that cements his ranking on the list even further
Genichiro had to take lessons under Tomoe to learn the "heretical" art of summoning lightning. Isshin just flexs and catches it because hes built different
another amazing video but a quick correction, Shinobi is a very specific type of person, a ninja, and characters like Emma and Gyobu are definitely not Shinobi, neither is Tomoe, they would more likely fall under the Samurai umbrella (i hate being the glasses emoji guy but thought i'd mention it anyway 🤧)
☝️🤓
Thanks for the insight! It makes a lot of sense, I presume the “shinobi execution” title after we defeat emma etc refers more so to us, as a shinobi, executing her!
@@BestiaryYTthe game, in English at least, has an almost comedic obsession with specifying that everything a Shinobi does will have a "shinobi" prefix
yea and it was tamura which he was confused with tamaru
@@BestiaryYTif you want more insights into the JP side of things, I can’t recommend Shetani’s Lair channel enough. She goes into great depth and detail about the original language vs the English version as well as giving some backstory to help understand the world better.
Headless ape would be literally unkillable for the majority of the things you ranked higher than it lol
Doesn't matter. I hate to talk about seven deadly sins. But Ban is/was literally immortal and unkillable, yet people like Escanor and Gunther rank way higher than him
@@thomaslikescars yeah he wouldn’t beat owl or ishin but Emma is literally hopeless lol
They could probably eat it/dismember it before it could really do much
@@TrueNamelessOne if dismembering worked it would be killable without the mortal blade
@@RedBloodedMale777 I mean if you break it's bones it will still be alive just in incredible pain
I don't think Isshin is using lightning of Tomoe, he's just doing lightning reversals on the thunderbolts from the storm
Couldn't have more perfect timing. Getting lunch right now and I got a gem to watch as I eat. This series is amazing love seeing it. Keep up the work king.
Now we wait for the Elden Ring DLC
And I’ll keep waiting for Sekiro DLC…
@@AProblemOfficer Its been five years. I dont believe it is coming.
@@Guns66well it did get boss rush free DLC 3 years after release
@@AlexT7916 That was one time. I've lost all hope.
@@Guns66 one is still more than zero
Both the script and the vocal execution are stellar. They increase my enjoyment of the video ten fold!
Gonna be sad when this series ends
Your analysis of Inner Owl is amazing and my favorite piece of content on this game - wonderful job.
I hope this video blows up! The quality was off the charts! Keep up the great work
Gosh man. Keep it up please. I love long form content I can vibe with and your research speaks for itself.
I'v really liked these ranking bosses based on lore videos and have learned so much about the lore as well as the bosses.
I need Sekiro 2 more than any other sequel.
Ghosts of Tsushima’s mc is adult Kuro anyway. Just look at that hat!
Nah bloodborne remake please
@@ManItDontMatterIfShesorry, you want a remake over a sequel? Lol piss off
Fromsoft give me a bloodborne sequel 😢
where did all these bloodborne fans come from there was not this many like a year ago lol and it’s already confirmed sony owns the rights to it and refuses to do anything with bloodborne and sekiro definitely deserves a sequel more
I enjoy all of your lore Videos, thank you. Must be a lot of work to find all this Informations
I've been waiting for the video on this game :D
Love your videos man they genuinely make my day better
I love these kinds of videos. Thank you so much!
Love the amount of lore you give in these videos.🤘
Hey this great stuff, I look forward to seeing more, and I hope you find success on TH-cam!
This is just youtube masterclass. Another certified banger!
Hell yeah! More strongest ranked on lore content!!! Absolutely love this series
Great series and video!!! Expecting one for "shadow of the erdtree"!!!😊😊😊😊
Been waiting for this one!!! It's so different than the other From Software games.
What if Owl gets you to handle some of the dirty work because he wants to avoid becoming Shura?
Well, i don't think Owl would have turned into Shura, because he did want to rule Japan with Sekiro by his side. I think he quickly left, because he wanted to take the Mortal Blade from Genichiro so they don't have a chance at killing Sekiro.
he makes you do the dirty work because he can't beat isshin, even a sick version. he can, however, beat a heavily wounded and weakened genichiro. here's why I think owl is not that good at fighting.
1. He is one of the only bosses that you can hit without an opening. If you just randomly attack at certain periods, even if he's ready to parry, you'll land a hit, he's the only boss that doesn't 100% parry.
2. Otherwise he wouldn't ask sekiro for help. It is pretty heavily implied that he would have betrayed sekiro at some point, and that he was only using him as a tool. it would be better to let sekiro just do his job and leave ashina, and take the kingdom for himself.
3. He's a shinobi. He can't do head-on fights. Sekiro is sort of an exception in that way. At the start, when he's full shinobi, he loses to genichiro. He has to learn to get better to win.
@@fyrewolf7805it is implied that Sekiro was also extremely rusty at the start of the game as he was fumbling for his sword before facing Genichiro, likely not having fought or trained for 3 years after the events of the Hirate Estate
@@AlexT7916 yes, that's true. but owl wasnt in a well for three years, he was scheming. after all, he faked his death, backstabbed sekiro, and went on his merry way
You just somehow made me love the game even more. Wonderful 1.5h of lore, thank you!
Finally! It's been a long time coming.
Absolutely love this shit. I get as excited when I see these video notifications as I do when VaatiVidya drops
I never thought of the story between Owl and Sekiro that way. That is so beautifully tragic. Amazing video. My favorite one so far.
As far as what's next, I would prefer Demon's Souls instead of Lies Of P
Great video, as always!
Love these videos! Keep it up!
The moonlight butterfly ost during the lady butterfly segment was peak editing !
Another banger, congrats!
Definitely go for Demon Souls first. That way, you will finish all souls titles before the whole Elden Ring experience (main game + DLC).
After that, and in the wait for SOTE, you can go for Lies of P, Cuphead, Hollow Knight... The possibilities are almost endless.
Cup head and hollow knight aren’t souls likes pal
@@loiceklund6624 that doesn’t necessarily matter, still great games with amazing boss line ups that would be cool in this format
@@mtstomack7053that’s beside the point that this person is making and that point is to familiarize yourself with the souls game and those games won’t help at all
@@loiceklund6624 no. There are only so many good souls-likes that match the requirements here. Bestiary should go for quality games like the above mentioned hollow knight rather than something like Wo Long. The games have to contain both variants of the eerie-mysterious, rich atmosphere and the according lore grandeur though. This is why hollow knight would be a perfect fit (part two coming out soon??), while the above mentioned cuphead would be a disaster because of its comedic ridiculousness and lore irrelevance (its basically a cartoon, everyone can do anything) which doesnt fit at all with bestiarys style and quality standard in my opinion. Maybe he will even branch to something like the Witcher. Baldurs Gate 3 would be cool too, though the cinematic presentation could be hard. Not quite the same vibe and atmosphere as the Fromsoft series with this games, but the lore is incredible, maybe too much though (Books etc). The hidden lore is another factor which plays into the atmosphere, but very few games have that. Again, hollow knight would be a perfect fit :D
I really enjoy these videos and there are a few things that I think could make them even better: I feel like sometimes there is a lot of redundancy for entries which is understandable as its probably pretty hard to pad out some of the information, but it can get pretty irritating if the redundant info is also relevant for another entry, causing it to be repeated 4 times or even more across the video. Another pedantic note: dialectic describes the process of pitting thesis and antithesis against each other, it can't be true or false. Hope this is only taken as constructive feedback, I really love your vids.
Thanks for the video good luck with the channel
Are you going to consider branching out into other games for this series after you get through the FromSoft games? I really hope so!
Another great video!
One of fromsofts best games. So many good memories playing this one again and again!
Great job mate love this channel❤
Great videos, even if I don't agree with every placement (the ape so low, inner father above isshin), it is well-thought and very entertaining to watch. As for suggestions: maybe now its the time for Nioh 1 and 2?
I want a sequel so stuff like Shura can be explored more
I loved this video, but i think i disagree with how Genichiro and Owl were ranked above present day Isshin.
As far as Owl goes, i can't say for certain whether he would rank higher or not and don't have too clear of an opinion, the best we have to go off of is how he says "few could have hoped to defeat him" of Isshin, even in his weakened state. This doesn't tell us whether he considers himself as one of those few or not.
However with Genichiro, i am more strongly convinced that he was in fact lesser to Isshin despite his illness and old age. The ministry only sends spies to Ashina so long as Isshin is alive, however weakened he may be, and they begin their siege when *and only* when he has succumbed to said Illness; despite Genichiro still being very much alive, and having gained more strength than ever, with Tomoe's lighting and the black mortal blade. The whole point of Genichiro's tragedy is that no matter how much he sacrificed and how hard he tried, he simply wasn't strong enough to save Ashina: which is why he resorts to using the black mortal blade and killing himself to bring Isshin back, as he himself could not compare to him, and was unable to stand against the forces of the interior ministry once Isshin had fallen.
Of course this is all based on my interpretation of the story, and i'm just sharing my opinion, nothing against yours! As i said i really enjoyed the video, keep up the good work ❤
honestly im gona try to binge through all of these as they are interesting
New video, algorithm good.
Hell yeah, I would love a Lies of P video
Amazing video!!!
This was incredible
this was so entertaining !
The GOAT is back! Thank you so much @TheBestiary
Perfect job!
I don't know if I've ever clicked so fast
I love these videos, I'd love to see a demon souls ranking, and remnant from the ashes, and remnant 2, if you haven't played those yet, I highly recommend them, they are both fantastic, really does souls with guns really well, and still manages to keep it's own identity, also I think it would be best to do elden ring after the DLC comes out
For the algorithm - keep being awesome
Once ur done with bosses, maybe you can do npcs? I'd love a ranking discussing the strength of siegward or yuria for example, based on their accomplishments.
You already know why i'm here.... right when im about to eat too....now we wait for Elden Ring and Dear god Demon souls too. Honestly if Demon souls came next that would be amazing.
No reason to do an elden ring one before the DLC
Yeah he should do demon souls next, especially because he said he will do the Elden Ring video after the dlc drops
I forgot the Divine Dragon existed so I thought number one was going to be the Armored Warrior lol
ROBEEEEERT
armored warior is the true one
I’d like to see Lies Of P and Lords Of The Fallen (2023) rankings.
Quick list of what I think are the weakest to strongest in Lords Of The Fallen lorewise.
13:Congregator Of Flesh
12:Spurned Progeny
11:Sundered Monarch
10:The Hollow Crow
9:Pieta
8:Latimer, The Hushed Saint
7:Tancred and Reinhold
6:Elianne the Starved
5:The Lightreaper
4:The Unbroken Promise
3:Harkyn, The Iron Wayfarer
2:Judge Cleric
1:Adyr
I missed the part where you said you only included the memory and gauntlet bosses so i grew more and more astonished thinking why you would rank the fire bull so high😂
Only after Demon of Hatred did i catch on why i dont see ashina spears or lone shadows
Elden ring video gonna take like a year to make lol
Great video ps what do you think the Great one go against the Great old ones from hp lovecraft
im waiting for the 8 hour elden ring ranking bosses by lore video 😂
Would love a Lies of P video
i know emma was trained by isshin but there's no way that she should rank above the ape
Isshin does not have the art of lightning, he catches the flashes out of the air
i wonder if you can do this with games that arent from soft related like hollow knight also love your videos their so interesting :3
this ranking was really great and well written but im not sure i agree with the placement of the last 3 or even old isshin under genichiro/owl.
personally id rank them
isshin ss
divine dragon
inner owl
because while the divine dragon's influence may be the strongest and its amount of overall power might be higher, in a 1 on 1 fight i think isshin would be able to win against the divine dragon as sekiro has without much trouble. isshin ss has the power of both tomoe's lightning AND the black mortal blade both of which we used in our fight against the divine dragon. as well as isshin having the power of the rejuvenating waters or some level of immortality given from genichiro or the black blade considering we had to kill him with the mortal blade.
I do agree inner owl is insanely powerful and the fight against him in our mind is the fight against who he is to sekiro, and while that is definitely very intense, nothing suggest it is sekiro's hardest fight. isshin is simply THAT GUY, the very strongest swordsman the world has ever seen, powerful enough to retake ashina himself, armed with a mortal blade, immortality, and the full mastery of the lightning of tomoe, once his equal, blended into the perfect ashina style. isshin ss, and inner isshin, represent the absolute pinnacle of all power possible summoned as a last ditch effort to win at all costs. also he appears at the very end of the true gauntlet of strength i think that says something more than owl.
Isshin does NOT have the power of Tomoe.
And only the Red Mortal Blade can be used to finish the dragon. The black one is unable to hurt the dragon.
Good job
Made me want to finally play through Sekiro...
I will never forgive fromsoft for not giving us a tomoe dlc
glad to see this one made, was worried it might not be because its a bit of a black sheep
Finally the best fromsoft game!
Love this vid idea 😂
"Sekiro:old shinobi",that can be a name 4 a game based on the past of ashina,when owl and butterfly was young,same as isshin and tomoe
Now all you have to do is rank the Elden ring DLC bosses by lore, then combine all these vids into one vid so we can see who is the strongest FromSoftware character by lore. (My money’s on The Moon Presence)
The high will
@ahmadadnan4773leaning away from Gael, not 100% on Elden Beast lore, but from what I know, Moon Presence can exist on multiple planes so even if it gets killed physically, it can survive on another plane and has proven it can influence others to act on its will such as Gerhman and the PC AND only being with the same level of insight can even stand against it.
Gael’s strong asf, but with his hollowing I don’t think he has the insight needed to stand against the Moon Presence. In a one on one fight, I reckon the Moon Presence would just dominate Gael’s mind without much issue, hollows aren’t exactly mentally with it. Physical power is one thing that Gael excels at, but Moon Presence has a whole other magnitude of it.
The Elden Beast seems a great deal more powerful, but it’s also an extension of the Greater Will, not on par with the Greater Will itself. I think the Elden Beast is powerful asf, but I don’t think it can even crack the Great Ones of Bloodborne. Honestly, I reckon the Moon Presence would just ask the Elden Beast to put its daddy on the phone 😂
@ahmadadnan4773 exactly my point, one of the reasons the Great Ones all ranked so high was because even if their physical bodies were destroyed, they’d still exist in any number of other planes of existence. How can a character be more powerful than one if they can’t even kill it? Even if a Great One fails to kill Gael, they could easily seduce another mortal, like the chosen undead, bearer of the curse, ashen one, paleblood hunter or the tarnished.
Also, you can only stand up to the Moon Presence after ascending to a level on par with it by consuming three third umbilical chords. If you don’t, you don’t even get a chance to fight.
Side note, Kos actually washed up already dead due to a miscarriage, fishermen just worshipped her corpse until Master Willem was like “Oooooooooooh fresh god corpse” 😂
@ahmadadnan4773 that’s the thing tho, I don’t think Gael COULD stand up to the Moon Presence’s powers. Gael was STRONG as hell and I think he’s definitely capable of cutting the Moon Presence into calamari, but the Palemoon Hunter could have killed Ebrites, Orphan of Kos, Mergot’s Wet Nurse, Amygdala, every Great One in the game, but if they haven’t chowed down on enough umbilical chords when they wanted a snack, they couldn’t even lift a finger against the MP.
All things considered, the PC in bloodborne is still relatively sane. Gael? After hundreds, possibly thousands of years of constant searching, killing and blood drinking, he’s far from sane. Just the type of people Great Ones can play with easily. Gael could probably annihilate MP in a straight fight. But I don’t think he could even raise his sword against MP, he’d just end up being a pawn.
What makes this game so easy to scale is the fighting style is so close to canon and theres no real power jumps besides getting mortal blades and you can even make characters fight eachother and they work the same as wolf
You should do a Lies of P strongest based on lore video
Only one problem with this list and it’s that inner owl is higher than inner ishin
You don’t get Kingfisher’s ring from the guardian ape though… you get it from an encounter in the same room AFTER the guardian ape and wife
It's pretty much all but confirmed that Owl snuck up on Genichiro. Not only did he only have one deathblow counter, meaning that Owl could just use one deathblow and insta -win, but someone actually pitted the two against each other and Genichiro came out on top.
Did bro fr use the deathblow counters as a fucking lore explanation 💀
great videos 🥹
FINALLY 🎉
Not every warrior in this is a shinobi…A “shinobi” is more or less a ninja/spy, i think the descriptive word you were looking for with most of the NPC’s was “bushi” or samurai, bushi is a japanese word meaning warrior, but not all bushi were samurai, at least not yet, like in Gyobu’s situation for example, seeing that he was a good “bushi”, Isshin then made him Samurai… besides calling everyone a shinobi, great video lol
To be a fan of Sekiro and call everyone a Shinobi is annoying. Bushi depends on the period, the lore says that Gyobu was Isshin's retainer, nothing was said about a Bushi though.
The elden ring notif gonna hit like crack😵💫😵💫
IDK Why I Wanna See, the Sekiro Minibosses as How Powerful they are,
Cannon or by Lore...
And I Don't Mind Demon's Souls
(I know We Still Didn't saw BOSS Fight with the actual OLD One, But with Creature in Him...).
Also... IDK Why I Kind a Wanna See BOSSES About
A Game (or 2 Games one Classic and one 3D).
With the name of
MADNESS: PROJECT NEXUS.
Both the First that is 1, or Classic. Released March 25 2012 Originally.
And the Madness Project Nexus 2 or 3D.
With some Bigger number of Bosses.
Like First game with Episode 1 and Episode 1.5. And the second game as
Episode 2.
In Project Nexus 1 We have G03LM Mk2 (And 5 Mk1), and MAG: Agent N (Which is a MAG Agent).
in It's Continue as Episode 1.5, We Have MAG: Agent Gestalt and Director Phobos.
Project Nexus 2 or 3D, Has MORE Bosses.
One BOSS At the END of The Arena Mod.
And The Main Story Mod Bosses.
MAG: Bandit, The Sheriff. Church and Jorge, Gestalt, Tower Guardian, Phobos, Hank,
Jebus, Tricky the Clown, Crackpot, Gill and some Others, that I Forgot or Didn't Learned Names.
Who did the version of nameless song that plays during the inner father section??
Let's go, my favorite from soft game!!!!!
That sekiro would've gotten a dlc, we could've met so many characters that we only hear stories about, and could've saved elden ring from Malenia
Can’t wait for demon souls and elden ring
Genichiro: Jobbers Job Thrice
I hope elden ring is next but i'd assume that it will take a long time to make cuz there are so many more remembrance bosses then bosses in sekiro
I’m confused. You said Geni utilizes the Ashina Cross. Uhhh, when?
Ok so I'm at sword Saint isshin but hearing him being named as a shinobi makes me cringe cause he's a samurai not a shinobi but loving the video either way
Genichiro being above inner ishhin is bullshit
Who do you think is the strongest out of all the games in general? Souls and the like
Id love to see a Witcher 3 ranking but that would be way to long and take you way to long to make but other than that good vid and I like watching your vids.
Strongest Assassins Creed Protagonist based on lore
Techinally, Sword Saint Isshin could kill the dragon. He has lightning and a mortal blade.
