After this ending it’s a very well trained shinobi with 2 mortal blades, Flame powers, prosthetic weapons, best swordsmanship in the land, and he’s the man who killed Isshin. RIP literally everyone in his way
After this scene there's some narration explaining how shortly after isshins death there was the greatest massacre in Japanese history, and that thousands died. Pretty clear who did it...
@@MegaBlair007 I don't think so - you can see in other endings that he is not the same person. No doubt all of the killings he's been doing up to this point has been eating away at his conscience, but what makes the difference between the endings whether he chose to hold onto his conscience by not betraying Kuro, or to throw it away and let other things (his father's command, shinobi's code, and ultimately the negative influence of all the killings on his mentality) take over his mind and turn him into shura. So Wolf in both endings has been fighting for his conscience over all of the killings throughout the game, and the only difference is whether he chose to give in and indulge or not.
I think she kinda knew she had no chance, when I watched the cutscene she felt more like she was trying to fulfill her duty by giving up her life to oppose Shura
For people who don't know. At 10:51, Owl placed "something" near Isshin, it was actually Genechiro head. Another factor explained this was in the beginning, Owl had only 1 sword on his back, but after Sekiro defeated Isshin, he came back with the 2nd one - which is the 2nd mortal blade owned by Genechiro (You might recognized this in other endings). => Owl went to kill Genichiro while Sekiro was fighting Emma and Isshin. :>
Owl needs to be the playable character in a DLC. We need to see how he took down a warrior as skilled as Genichiro and more importantly, how he escaped Hirata Estate plus what he did before infiltrating the castle.
Also note that isshin is the only being that can deflect your one mind skill if you use on him. Fromsoft did absolutely great job with these attention to details.
I have to say, Isshin Ashina has the best and most imposing sword draw I have ever seen. The close-up on his face, the music, the show of his Damascus steel blade, the sound design, it's all perfect.
@@tomsandstrom338 No he's right. Look up Damascus steel and see that in the cutscene right before the fight begins it's clear as day, the blade has that same warped pattern. Not sure how Isshin got a hold of that kind of blade but still I am convinced it is indeed that famous steel.
4:40 That faint smirk is such a good detail for foreshadowing...! Notice how Owl comes back with 2 swords. In this ending, everything falls into place for Sekiro, all the opposition is taken down, and he has the two means that could kill him in his hands. The Orangutan's monkey paw certainly came in handy.
Nah they can't permanently kill him. The mortal blade can kill immortal people but he's not immortal he just resurrection when he dies so even if it kills him he will resurrection
I think its interesting that Owl begins to scream out his "real person name" at the end. The reason why ninjas have animal names is probably because the're not meant to be "people", in the sense of existing for the sole purpose of serving their parents/master. Owl screaming out his name shows a rejection of that nature, which also helps explain why he betrayed his masters in pursuit of power for himself. In fact, the fact that he even *has* a "real person name" suggests that he wasn't always a ninja, since ninjas don't get those. Maybe he is a former warlord/samurai who fell from power and became a ninja, which would help explain his ambitions. Also, its ironic and hypocritical that he demands that Sekiro follow the iron code when he, himself, evidently broke it.
Wolf was literally an orphab child who was trained his whole life to kill and dont show any emotions Thats why wolf is really quiet and it doesnt look like he has any personality In this ending wolf loses became shura because of all the killing you made to get there Imagine how wolf's mental health would be at that point, you literally kill all the time in the game so its likely that he would become a psychopath
@@claustrophobicmole867 There is more to it than that, "shura" is also a supernatural occurrence that occurs as a result of accumulating "bad karma" via killing too many people. This is why even years after he stopped killing the Sculptor is still in danger of falling to shura and ultimately does. He can't outrun the bad karma he accumulated earlier in life. Sekiro also has a ton of bad karma but his love and loyalty to Kuro keep him human. Thus, if he forsakes Kuro, he goes shura.
@@ManoredRed It's also the reason why Sekiro becomes the new sculptor after Kuro dies in immortal severance. Also, I want you to answer me honestly. Do you also feel a sudden sense of Deja vu right now? I feel like I've seen you give this response before and I also remember replying with something similar...bizzare.
If you watch the cutscene you'll see he's carrying something in his left hand offscreen and he puts it by Isshin's body, I have a feeling it's probably Genichiro's head. So he probably killed him and took it while you were fighting Isshin, yeah.
How would Owl be able to unsheath the second blade though? Sekiro and Genichiro both had some sort of resurrection power so they could wield the blades. (Genichiro had the rejuvinating waters)
@@Goofzillers This makes the most sense imo! I wish they would have showed it a little more though so it was clear that it was Genichiro because I totally missed that he was carrying something the first time I beat the game and got this ending. Had to rewatch this cutscene before catching it
I like how the owl can't believe it himself and repeatedly asks "Are you really sure that you want to forsake the dragon heir? Cuz if you do, he'll be like, your enemy. You understand right? Uh? Are you sure?"
Think about it. Almost nobody is going to beat Emma and Isshin on their first try (or second) so making them go through that dialogue everytime they attempt it kinda reinforces that it's the wrong decision.
@@rosskaske6357 not really, once u make your choice and die, the next time u go to the roof the next combat starts without choosing again, so that second change at first is the only one you have to think it over
@@magiic0 I think a better way of saying it would be "if even the game asks you twice to make sure you ABSOLUTELY want to make this decision, it's probably because you chose very poorly."
@@mooganify I wanted to make owl proud , I didn't know what is shura . I just thought Emma and isshin are speaking shura cuz I'm against them now so they just calling me bad. Then I realised that shura was a demon and sekiro killed his own father. I wouldn't have minded if I actually sided with owl and had ashina instead of killing him despite obeying the code
Mr F my guess is that Wolf was already “hungry” by the time he defeated lady butterfly, Owl sensed this and knew he had to dispose of him, even though he took him in on a whim and taught Wolf everything to become a skilled shinobi. It didn’t matter to Owl either way, his only true desire was to obtain the blood of the dragons heritage from Young Lord Boss-man Kuro
I fucking love how at 5:11 Wolf actually has to calm himself and prepare as he knows he's about to go head to head with the greatest swordsman alive, it's chillingly amazing
So in this ending, Sekiro posesses -4 swords (Kusabimaru, The red mortal blade, The black mortal blade and Sabimaru) -At least 2 types pf trowing projectiles (Shuriken and Kunai -at least 2 different designs of spears (Stab type and cleave type) -Firecrackers -4 Different shields (Normal, Magnetic, Spiritual and fire) -Orangutan's axe -A fucking flamethrower The guy's a god damn armory
Me at 1st attempt at killing Isshin: "Emma.... Im sorry... *sobs*" Also me 257th attempt at killing Isshin : "Hurry up and die biatch so I can settle the score with ISsin!!" By the end of the struggle I was indeed a Shura.
same for me at first i was like " noo i dont wanna hurt you" from that to " stupid fucking bitch die already!!" i was annoyed more on emma than isshin cause whenever i use gourd she always stabs me right in my fucking face.
3:35 - 3:45 - One reason I love this fight. Give Emma any breathing room at all and she’ll turn the tables on you in ten seconds. But then if you hammer the attack against Isshin he’ll dodge-counter you into the floor. Great contrast.
It was hillarious. YOU CANT BE SHURA. In such a childish voice, kuro is one of the most mature people in the game, a lot more thdn genichiro because he doesn't strip in public.
@@goose_loose Played the whole game Japanese, everyone's voice just fits so well. Owl, Isshin, even Emma sound way better in Japanese. It just fits the characters better. Which makes sense, considering the game takes place in JAPAN lol of course Japanese voice would fit it's characters better. Edit: Also, I just got to the last part, and the way he says "You can't be Shura" was so hilarious I audibly laughed LOL, he says it like how a kid would say "No, you can't be Batman, I want to be Batman!"
The game itself actually tells you to not die alot and discourages you from failing both game wise and in lore; the more you die in lore the more it effects other people.
@@AxisChurchDevotee yes but he didnt ask about morals, it was the best decision for Wolf as it was literally the only case in which he would feel at least some sort of satisfaction.
The cutscene before you fight Ishiin gives me chills. The expression on his face and eye is so emotional, like he’s disgusted he’s being forced to kill shura again.
The fact that Emma had less deathblows than mini bosses and Isshin only matched them always made me feel off going into the fight and I think that’s on purpose since it really shows how far gone Sekiro already is at that point since they’re also insanely brutal deathblows too for people he was allied with
My first playthru i sided with Kuro. Due to the Dragonrot, I decided that Kuro was right, the divine blood was not sacred, and until it was severed, people would continue waging mini-wars over it. In the end my preferred ending is the Purification ending. Sekiro sacrifices himself to give Kuro a normal life; I think it’s a fantastic Send off for Sekiro, and I like to wonder how Kuro and Emma’s life will turn out. I almost always do each ending in these kind of games at least once. The Shura path is sad, but seeing Sekiro become Shura, and the narrator alluding to him having become this unknown demon who stalks Ashina, is a chilling (in a good way) and emotional ending. Though Sekiro Likely Kills Kuro:(
Nobody is going to talk about the fact that : -The final boss in tending is not only an old man, but a literal geriatric in his pijama and his nurse. -Isshin is a master swordsman and a fire-bender too.
is it just me or does wolf show a slight hint of a smile in that cutscene after killing emma? if im not just seeing things then that is really kinda creepy
nicolas B. well yeah but its still creepy since its like the only time in the whole game that he actually smiles at all, i prefer him with no emotion lol
@@loveliestfawn Not really murder when she drew her sword on him. Funnily enough, by all legal definitions it was self defense! He still totally murdered those townspeople though, but that's assuming a demi-god can be judged by human means.
Having wolf wield two mortal blades with this ending is definitely fitting, such power for such chaos man the red and black mortal blades no wonder he was a terror n pre much destroyed everything in his path i love it!!!
it's interesting how Emma is looking at the reflection on her blade (probably of you) to avoid looking you in the eye at the beginning, i wish the VA in this part had captured how her voice is breaking up like with the japanese voices
4:43 that "SEKIRO" is literally everything, the faint smirk that wolf has, enjoying his kill. On the verge of becoming shura, and then his smile fading away as he hears the man, the legend. The strongest swordsman in the history of japan, up from his deathbed, hours of dying with his illness at it's peak. In his 90s, and still he comes to stop you. The dialagues, the music building up. The tension and the flames, and then the way he draws his sword. Such a glorious moment. Isshin grew to be one of my favorite characters in gaming. And that's saying a lot from a fromsoft game
@Not You No, the mortal blade has the ability to KILL immortal beings. The dragon tears are there to remove the dragon's heritage and cleanse the world of dragonrot.
When I saw the iron code option, I just knew I had to go for it. I was expecting some twist in conversation, and when asked the second time my decision remained unchanged. Not until I actually pierced through Emma's throat did I know shit was serious and there was no chance for a "betraying-dad" development. I actually had to murder the characters I liked. But the ending was the craziest. For a brief moment when Sekiro stabbed Owl I thought the expected twist finally occurred, with Kuro reviving Emma and Isshin with his heritage power, sth like that, and the quest would continue. I thought either way (choosing to fight Ashina pair or Owl), the ultimate showdown wouldn't come until after at least a couple more hours of gameplay. But turned out the story ended on a weird, unresolved note, with me being a mass-stabbing psychopath, and tons of unanswered questions, which are dealt with in the supposedly canon ending... I prolly won't start my second playthrough unless I'm extremely bored, but wow, what a fearless maneuver by Fromsoftware. Basing hours of gameplay on a single, irreversible decision and making every player who chose iron code path feel like real-life Shuras. Reverse catharsis. Impressive!
I think this is the canon ending. Also, nothing objectively bad about it (except the part where Wolf betrays his father), it's just how each person chooses to perceive it.
So... obeying the iron code makes Sekiro Shura? The same code Owl and all other shinobi obeyed without turning in psychotic thrill killers? There needed to be more to this ending, like killing NPCs or the bystander enemies.
@@silverblade357 no. Falling for the corrupting trap of immortality and blindly following his father's wishes is what turns sekiro into shura. The Iron code isn't the sole reason.
Got the shura ending in my second playtrough ,damn iishin was hard ,tho the fire umbrella do wonders against his flury on second phase , and against all fire attacks
@@doryaman In universe it's a curb stomp battle in Wolf's favor as there's no battle memory when beating Emma giving the implementation that she was far weaker than Wolf and stood no chance against him.
i dont care what anybody says. listening to a foreign voice screaming and awkward gasping, having to read subtitles is not better than native voice acting. English all the way, fight me,
It's interesting how watching other players make mistakes I wouldn't can teach me to avoid the mistakes that I do make. Watching imperfect gameplay just generally seems to be a better teacher for me than "perfect" gameplay.
Small advice to deal with his Ashina cross: When he set in to do the move, move closer towards him for he will first attack you once and then sweep. The attack is quite easy to parry if you get the timing down and after that instantly jump and bounce off his head. This way, you can maintain pressure a lot more better instead of backing off
Just beat them. Fantastic parry duels. Btw, Umbrella + Projected Force during fire attacks would shorten Isshin's phase 2 and make it easier quite a bit.
I wonder how long before we eventually see videos of super skilled people completing the whole game without dying or without taking a hit. Good luck trying that 😁
@Starscream91 I mean, I like DMC yea, but we're talking about dificulty here. And souls game in general have higher difficulty than DMC series. If you ask me which game I like more, it's DMC. But if you say that DMC have higher difficulty than souls games, then no.
Thing is this game is not the usual clunky slowness that other souls titles have. The speed in this game can be off the chart sometimes, and do not get me started on the spear wielding miniboss enemies that are overpowered beyond all belief because fromsoft gained a spear obsession out of nowhere. That and i feel like ng+7'ing this game with no damage or no deaths will be extremely hard because at ng+7 i'm expecting everything to be a oneshot honestly with how much damage some of these bosses are doing on bare bones ng, thus demanding endless perfect deflects or dodges from the player for every boss. Especially the bosses that can cause terror which is the most bullshit status effect in a soulslike since frenzy in bloodborne. @Starscream91
Being old meant nothing for the entire world in the past. But in Japan being old was a sign that you were a very deadly, fierce, trained and wise warrior/Samurai. And most importantly it was a sign of respect.
Kilian M. Being old anywhere in the past was respectable.Mainly cuz either disease or soldiers would end up killing them. So being able to outlive all that was a sign of strength.
@@kilianm.3648 You are wrong, the modern west is nothing like the traditional west, the traditional west is as much opposed to the modern west as the eastern traditions. In the west old age was not only respected but worshipped, we literally worshipped leaders and great heroes in the past as gods. Don't spread misinformation about our culture.
there are some people who uses free cam mod to navigate around the shura ending cutscene and found out it was actually Genichiro's head Owl was holding, why would fromsoft decided to not frame it in a normal way i have no idea, its not like they try to avoid violence and gore, obviously.
They try to avoid voilence sekiro isnt even that gory to decapitaion or cutting limbs in this game even bloodborne isnt that gory its just lots of blood but no 'gore'

It was hillarious. YOU CANT BE SHURA. In such a childish voice, kuro is one of the most mature people in the game, a lot more thdn genichiro because he doesn't strip in public.
Kuro’s voice is by far the worst English voice in the game, I’m considering doing my next play through in Japanese because of his voice
@@goose_loose Played the whole game Japanese, everyone's voice just fits so well. Owl, Isshin, even Emma sound way better in Japanese. It just fits the characters better. Which makes sense, considering the game takes place in JAPAN lol of course Japanese voice would fit it's characters better.
Edit: Also, I just got to the last part, and the way he says "You can't be Shura" was so hilarious I audibly laughed LOL, he says it like how a kid would say "No, you can't be Batman, I want to be Batman!"
Master Blaster I really like owl’s, isshin’s, and sculptor’s English voices, but the other ones aren’t good enough to me
boy: no u cant be lord of cinder! this is not darksouls!
Where is that option where i can step on that pretty face??

Are you shur'a about that

Idk why journalists think this game is impossible, Sekiro is literally immortal in the lore.
To answer your question: they are game journalists
Doesn’t mean the players themselves can’t get game-overs.
Have you seen that guy play cuphead? Most of those people don't care about games, they just want to make a quick and easy buck.
@@memeg8076thats why From Software makes this type of difficulty, to filter game journalists
The game itself actually tells you to not die alot and discourages you from failing both game wise and in lore; the more you die in lore the more it effects other people.
Looks like Aang didn't completely disable Fire Lord Ozai's bending
That uncle could have beaten ozai easily
I love the subtle smile Sekiro has at 4.40
It really shows how much he is enjoying himself.
Shows how badly this decision effects him.
@@AxisChurchDevotee idk about badly, seems to be enjoying himself more then any other moment in the game
@@richfoster4369 Morally speaking it's bad as Wolf has lost his humanity and abandoned the person he was meant to protect.
@@AxisChurchDevotee yes but he didnt ask about morals, it was the best decision for Wolf as it was literally the only case in which he would feel at least some sort of satisfaction.
@Donquixote Doflamingo No, shura took over sekiro, thats no longer sekiro. And that brat has good intentions, and he's smarter than most.
The cutscene before you fight Ishiin gives me chills. The expression on his face and eye is so emotional, like he’s disgusted he’s being forced to kill shura again.
4:39 that damn creepy smile, he's losing his mind
4:18 love the roll into the finisher. Super smooth. Also breaks my heart every time I fight Emma
The fact that Emma had less deathblows than mini bosses and Isshin only matched them always made me feel off going into the fight and I think that’s on purpose since it really shows how far gone Sekiro already is at that point since they’re also insanely brutal deathblows too for people he was allied with
I would say that Ishiin was surprisingly formidable for a man on his deathbed but that would downplay how powerful he was at the end of his life.
My first playthru i sided with Kuro. Due to the Dragonrot, I decided that Kuro was right, the divine blood was not sacred, and until it was severed, people would continue waging mini-wars over it. In the end my preferred ending is the Purification ending. Sekiro sacrifices himself to give Kuro a normal life; I think it’s a fantastic Send off for Sekiro, and I like to wonder how Kuro and Emma’s life will turn out.
I almost always do each ending in these kind of games at least once. The Shura path is sad, but seeing Sekiro become Shura, and the narrator alluding to him having become this unknown demon who stalks Ashina, is a chilling (in a good way) and emotional ending.
Though Sekiro Likely Kills Kuro:(
The thing that Owl places by Isshin's body is Genichiro's decapitated HEAD!!!
That's why he got the black sword... Omg I never noticed it
@@hoangdung7494: More of the visible head of Genichiro: imgur.com/a/M9Z3nGQ?fbclid=IwAR26h6YnrXC2ZveSel4AkbTEaJ3E2lAkK16DPBfeZkLNsbnBjjfgegkOzr8

@@chrisrodriguez8190 using Mod, i suppose. I dont know much about details but some ppl using programs that can help them free the camera in the game.
@@chrisrodriguez8190 In case you still care and haven't already seen it, Zullie has a video where she shows his head
Nobody is going to talk about the fact that :
-The final boss in tending is not only an old man, but a literal geriatric in his pijama and his nurse.
-Isshin is a master swordsman and a fire-bender too.
is it just me or does wolf show a slight hint of a smile in that cutscene after killing emma? if im not just seeing things then that is really kinda creepy
it's to show that he's become a Shura
nicolas B. well yeah but its still creepy since its like the only time in the whole game that he actually smiles at all, i prefer him with no emotion lol
@@solarizexhc That's the point, he became evil. He was happy murdering an innocent woman, he was Shura.
@@loveliestfawn Not really murder when she drew her sword on him. Funnily enough, by all legal definitions it was self defense!
He still totally murdered those townspeople though, but that's assuming a demi-god can be judged by human means.
@@JetStream0509 what again was a shura
From Ashina folksongs:
Fields of bodies,
mountains of dead
down Dragonspring River,
our country bled,
a fiery god
demon wolf in red.
4:14 Now that's an anime ending, both characters fall at the same time, one final strike to determine who wins
Kinda looked like getting the last deatblow on genichiro

@@NecrIon79 nah, more like shikai
so we all gone ignore how clean that dodge was at 6:35
Having wolf wield two mortal blades with this ending is definitely fitting, such power for such chaos man the red and black mortal blades no wonder he was a terror n pre much destroyed everything in his path i love it!!!
The look on owls face when he finds out his son is shura is one of the wildest mocaps ive seen in video game history
... I... I recognice that voice, or it sounds oddly familiar... But... Where?
1:35 SHINOBI KURATOS
It's actually the same guy who voices Reinhardt, Hayden (Doom) Rend Blackhand and Valkorion (Old Republic)
BOI
FETCH ME MY AXE
Are you shuratos about that?
Holy shit? The resemblance is uncanny. Lol
it's interesting how Emma is looking at the reflection on her blade (probably of you) to avoid looking you in the eye at the beginning, i wish the VA in this part had captured how her voice is breaking up like with the japanese voices
Saving this ending for my 4th and final ng boss still looks easier then the normal final boss fight
It definitely is Emma is a joke the only tough part is Isshin's 2nd phase, but that can be summed up with avoid the fire spots and block XD
Not You You have at least 3 less attack power as (Owl, True Monk, and Dragon)
You know what makes this boss so much more badass?
It's the fact that Isshin isn't kicking your ass in his Pajamas
4:43 that "SEKIRO" is literally everything, the faint smirk that wolf has, enjoying his kill. On the verge of becoming shura, and then his smile fading away as he hears the man, the legend. The strongest swordsman in the history of japan, up from his deathbed, hours of dying with his illness at it's peak. In his 90s, and still he comes to stop you. The dialagues, the music building up. The tension and the flames, and then the way he draws his sword. Such a glorious moment. Isshin grew to be one of my favorite characters in gaming. And that's saying a lot from a fromsoft game
7:17 my man dodged one of the deadliest combos in the game by mistake
Owl's reaction to Shura always gives me chills
I wonder what happened to Kuro in this ending? Did Wolf kill him?
The Mad God most likely
He has both mortal blades
Kuro is 100% dead
But where are the dragon tears? You need that to properly kill Kuro.
Mitchell Zollinger no, the mortal blades can draw the blood of Kuro, the dragon tears remove the immortality.
@Not You
No, the mortal blade has the ability to KILL immortal beings.
The dragon tears are there to remove the dragon's heritage and cleanse the world of dragonrot.
old man and fire, captain commander yamamoto is that you?
A real stunner of an ending. the moment where Wolf smirks made me feel some type of way
4:40 the little smirk gets me every time
"You can't be shura!!!"
"I'll be Zoro"
finaly i find you
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Shirrako more like Shurrako
Cringe
You got me bro, lol
When I saw the iron code option, I just knew I had to go for it. I was expecting some twist in conversation, and when asked the second time my decision remained unchanged. Not until I actually pierced through Emma's throat did I know shit was serious and there was no chance for a "betraying-dad" development. I actually had to murder the characters I liked. But the ending was the craziest. For a brief moment when Sekiro stabbed Owl I thought the expected twist finally occurred, with Kuro reviving Emma and Isshin with his heritage power, sth like that, and the quest would continue. I thought either way (choosing to fight Ashina pair or Owl), the ultimate showdown wouldn't come until after at least a couple more hours of gameplay. But turned out the story ended on a weird, unresolved note, with me being a mass-stabbing psychopath, and tons of unanswered questions, which are dealt with in the supposedly canon ending... I prolly won't start my second playthrough unless I'm extremely bored, but wow, what a fearless maneuver by Fromsoftware. Basing hours of gameplay on a single, irreversible decision and making every player who chose iron code path feel like real-life Shuras. Reverse catharsis. Impressive!
Love how wolf picks the sword owl had the same way isshin picks up genichiro’s sword in the other endings
I dont know why but the swordfight is beautiful
No its not play witcher 3
Yeah~ When a Man does sword fight with his woman! That scene is EPIC!!!!!!!
Alucard uh oh Witcher fan boy that thinks that is the only game that matters
Alucard Witcher 3 combat is fucking boring.

I love this guy's gameplay bc it reminded me of how I play because I was struggling with emma until I got to isshin
So....Basically bad guy ending eh?
Joon Hee Han yea
Evil wins Yes YES!
The demigod of war ending
I think this is the canon ending. Also, nothing objectively bad about it (except the part where Wolf betrays his father), it's just how each person chooses to perceive it.
@@JohnDoeTheGoodGuy I like Return is the true ending, opens the way for a sequel as well
7:19 (Visions of Vergil)
Shinobi: you can't be Shura
Sekiro: hold my beer
Sculptor: hold mine
Hold my sake*
Autism: the thread.
So... obeying the iron code makes Sekiro Shura? The same code Owl and all other shinobi obeyed without turning in psychotic thrill killers? There needed to be more to this ending, like killing NPCs or the bystander enemies.
@@silverblade357 no. Falling for the corrupting trap of immortality and blindly following his father's wishes is what turns sekiro into shura. The Iron code isn't the sole reason.
Got the shura ending in my second playtrough ,damn iishin was hard ,tho the fire umbrella do wonders against his flury on second phase , and against all fire attacks
Anyone else here because they can't bring themselves to betray Lord Kuro? I couldn't hurt Lady Emma if I tried ;3;
I gladly did it
But 100% though
Platinum
i will betray kuro for sure i hate shota trap like him, but i got spoiler that ill fight emma if i did so i choose not to
Radith
Shit bro I thought Kuro was a girl for like 3 hours
If I got a game like this that wasn’t open world, just all boss fights with like 40 different levels I’d buy that
man i was subconsciously cheering for isshin and emma to win.
Same.
That's what we get for making the Evil Choice
I mean, in my playthrough, they've won like 30 times already. Both Emma and Isshin.
@@doryaman lol
@@doryaman In universe it's a curb stomp battle in Wolf's favor as there's no battle memory when beating Emma giving the implementation that she was far weaker than Wolf and stood no chance against him.

Maybe Genichiro put up a decent fight?
It's interesting how watching other players make mistakes I wouldn't can teach me to avoid the mistakes that I do make. Watching imperfect gameplay just generally seems to be a better teacher for me than "perfect" gameplay.
This game have such amazing action,the sword fight is far more beautiful than any movie I have ever seen
The sound of clashing blades - the most satisfying thing in the game
"Bro lemme get a sip of that."
"Alright, but just a sip"
The sip: 3:39
I can't believe I never noticed how smirked a little at 4:40 , showing him being devoured by Shura
Small advice to deal with his Ashina cross: When he set in to do the move, move closer towards him for he will first attack you once and then sweep. The attack is quite easy to parry if you get the timing down and after that instantly jump and bounce off his head. This way, you can maintain pressure a lot more better instead of backing off
Just beat them. Fantastic parry duels. Btw, Umbrella + Projected Force during fire attacks would shorten Isshin's phase 2 and make it easier quite a bit.

I wonder how long before we eventually see videos of super skilled people completing the whole game without dying or without taking a hit. Good luck trying that 😁
Lol, DMC is far easier than this game.
@Starscream91 already beat dmd over and over. Played it multiple times already, 1st time on ps2 and revisit the game on pc.
check out uhTrance ... hes already speed running this game w no damage
@Starscream91 I mean, I like DMC yea, but we're talking about dificulty here. And souls game in general have higher difficulty than DMC series. If you ask me which game I like more, it's DMC. But if you say that DMC have higher difficulty than souls games, then no.
Thing is this game is not the usual clunky slowness that other souls titles have. The speed in this game can be off the chart sometimes, and do not get me started on the spear wielding miniboss enemies that are overpowered beyond all belief because fromsoft gained a spear obsession out of nowhere. That and i feel like ng+7'ing this game with no damage or no deaths will be extremely hard because at ng+7 i'm expecting everything to be a oneshot honestly with how much damage some of these bosses are doing on bare bones ng, thus demanding endless perfect deflects or dodges from the player for every boss. Especially the bosses that can cause terror which is the most bullshit status effect in a soulslike since frenzy in bloodborne. @Starscream91
This game is so good with japanese audio and english subtitles
Being old meant nothing for the entire world in the past.
But in Japan being old was a sign that you were a very deadly, fierce, trained and wise warrior/Samurai. And most importantly it was a sign of respect.
Kilian M. Being old anywhere in the past was respectable.Mainly cuz either disease or soldiers would end up killing them.
So being able to outlive all that was a sign of strength.
@@Nightksa1995 Not sure if you are a troll, or obvious virgin.

Damn. I was hoping we could go on a rampage with the second mortal blade in this ending: meaning we could control shura.
there are some people who uses free cam mod to navigate around the shura ending cutscene and found out it was actually Genichiro's head Owl was holding, why would fromsoft decided to not frame it in a normal way i have no idea, its not like they try to avoid violence and gore, obviously.
They try to avoid voilence sekiro isnt even that gory to decapitaion or cutting limbs in this game even bloodborne isnt that gory its just lots of blood but no 'gore'
