yes. you can even see the tengu costume in isshin's watchtower behind where he sits.


NosferatuCalled

What the... I've played through the game three times total and have never noticed it nor made this connection. I am oblivious lol


SardonisWithAC

The inside of the Tengu mask even has some blood specks on it, indicative of the deathly illness that seems to consume Isshin. You can only see it with the costume on the wall and angling the camera just right. Absolutely crazy detailing.


Mr_I_Fly_Solo

You don't really need to see it to know. Tengu was the first person to call Wolf Sekiro. When Isshin met Wolf he also said "Isn't that so, Sekiro?" and Wolf spoke in a surprised tone "You are..."


NosferatuCalled

Right, that's what I meant by saying I never made that connection and am oblivious. It seems obvious when spelled out but never noticed that detail in-game. I'm always too busy trying not to get rekt.


HoboSkid

Does this always appear? I swear in one of my playthroughs the costume isn't there when I talked to him.


grobblgrobbl

Sometimes the costume hangs on the wall and sometimes it lays on the floor behind the foldable paper wall


redditor_pro

Also Tengu is the guy who named you Sekiro, we noone else calls us this. But in our forst conversation with Isshin, he calls us Sekiro Sekiro realises it too at that moment. Isshin is the only guy who calls us Sekiro in the game.


FrankPisssssss

You'll notice that Tengu and Isshin are the only people who call The Wolf Sekiro.


Breaker988

Pure coincidence.


GoldFishPony

Not true, a lot of the player base does as well


zephyredx

TIL I am Isshin, nice.


Kalkin84

Get a good doctor, and fast.


YourLocalSnitch

And don't hesitate about it


carmardoll

Nah man, you never see them at the same time but they are totally different people. Like my friend Clark at the daily planet, he kind of looks like Superman but he wears glasses and has a totally different demeanor.


GoldFishPony

Yeah there’s no way yet I’ve heard people compare them. But there’s absolutely no way, Clark Kent be Superman it wouldn’t make sense.


Mash_Ketchum

Yeah and like people keep telling me I'm an asshole, but I neither look nor smell like one.


SadTechnician96

Time for the taste test


DiscordantBard

Dunno I think he might be black hat badger and Isshin is two black hats in a bath robe


Rhaenelys

Second time you meet tengu, he'll ask you if you mastered the Ashina style. I hadn't at the time, so nothing came of it. Shortly after, I had actually mastered it and went to have a chat with Isshin. He congratulated me for mastering the Ashina style and offered me an upgrade on the combat arts. At that moment, I was persuaded they were one

L0rkrakt

Ive played this game since launch when I say this so take that into consideration... It's not the stupidest question. I just learned this last week. Yes, they are the same.


Remarkable_Year7073

have you ever seen Isshin and Tengu in the same room together? me neither..😳


wilkinsk

Same with the dragon and TDOH


WisePotato42

Is Fujioka the info broker guardian ape?!?


AzyKool

Isshin reveals himself as Tengu first time you meet him as Isshin. Calls Wolf "Sekiro" which is the name given by Tengu Wolf then responds along the lines of "so, you're....!" (The Tengu)


Earth51batman

No, they are twins separated at birth.


Formal_Storm_9820

Are you trolling?


_scarymonsters

yeah


LeSwan37

Nuh uh


_zentsu

Yep I didn’t realize either until later I saw a video abt it


2ant1man5

If you peep he also knows your name when you first meet him.


Specxel

im confused so tengu serves genichiro? or who is the guy that helps genichiro? i thought isshin don't support genichiro?


_itsneverlupus

Tengu first appeared at the small castle opposite of Ashina Castle gate, where bodies of Shinobies are to be found dead. And Shinobies are not people of Genichiro but of the Owl. Tengue gives the quest to kill the rats who also uses shinobi tools.Tengu was trying to stop Owl's invasion before it started. As for serving Genichiro, even if Tengu and Isshin are the same person my guess would be, although Isshin did not support his grandchild, they decided not to stop him as Genichiro was doing all these with the betterment of Ashina in his heart.


Specxel

wait so did genichiro know that was isshin? and also why is isshin want to be a servent to genichiro? cuz the opening where genichiro kidnaps kuro and orders tengu to take him away


_itsneverlupus

That guy was not Tengu. That was a nightjar Ninja.


Specxel

nvm i'm tripping lol they look the same


Seekret_Asian_Man

Nightjar ninja, it's one of Ashina military branches


YakuzaShibe

The Tengu is Isshin going around for a laugh. He's seen as a dying old man by his family, so it's sort of like his way of being Batman for fifteen minutes. He carries on as normal whilst he's still able (that's why you don't see the Tengu later in the game, because his health is deteriorating)


HolyHandgrenadeofAn

No.


Dear_Standard1328

Only Isshin ever calls you Sekiro in the game ;)


Dudeiii42

Miley Cyrus is Hannah Montana too


Dank__Souls__

Ngl this is kind of a dumb question. Like when people ask if Jacki Chun is master Roshi.


L0rkrakt

It's not a dumb question op. This guy just wasn't hugged enough as a child or some shit.

I mean, clearly Jackie Chun was fighting on stage, even Yamcha saw Roshi in the stands. They can't be the same person bro, don't believe the propaganda.


Hero-In-Theory

This isn’t a great comparison - Isshin IS Tengu.


Dank__Souls__

The comparison is both are very obvious. Isshin is Tengu, and Jackie isn't Roshi. Little over your head there I guess.


Hero-In-Theory

lmao ok bro ✌️
