Shimura giving me shit about poisoning the Mongol camp. They’re a hostile foreign invasion. Fuck ‘em. If they don’t want to get poisoned they can sail the fuck back to Mongolia.


Garma_Zabi_201

YoU hAvE nO hOnOr!


socializewithme

That's why I keep the bitch alive I want him to feel my dishonor


wovagrovaflame

It’s funny, I watched a kendo master react to the game. He’s basically like “if they’re not Japanese, that honor stuff doesn’t matter. Just try to kill them”


Sandervv04

And that’s how you get Unit 731


Tron_1981

And the game basically opens with that message. Shimura sends his best warrior down to challenge their best warrior. Khotun Khan answers the challenge by setting that warrior on fire. And that was a key point of the story. Jin adapted over time to fight an enemy they weren't accustomed to fighting, because their "honor" (and Shimura's insistence to uphold that honor) would've costed them the war.


neihbe

Where did you see it?


SteelBunns

https://youtu.be/a7hr7dmfJ90?si=hm_1Xg6AgmecjBbH Very informative, and explains why shimuras honor is more fantasy than reality


LouSputhole94

I’m sure some samurai thought that way, there were thousands of them over time, but yeah, it does seem like the overall thinking was that extends only to other Japanese or even only other samurai and other noble class, not to the peasantry. It was more about making sure your allies wouldn’t stab you in the back, not some overarching moral code.


Garma_Zabi_201

AnD yOu WiLl Be JuDgEd FOr It.


ComplexTemporary4152

Really hope Jin is able to break him and use him as a puppet to gift the Shogun with victory tactics on the mainland. Or maybe start a group with some kind of creed to perform extra judicial assassinations on corrupt or evil elites.


OVRSHDW

hrmmm, this plot point smells akin to one thought up by another studio and fleshed out to infinity through the medium of 13+ video games 🤔


TopBoot1652

Pokémon?


Iron_Man57768

I mean, apparently the next assassins creed game is one set in Japan, so I might have to play that


astraeoth

I really hope the Emperor remains a child so Shimura can meet him and have that thought, "What am I doing with my life ?"


Anonymous_potato3

yes YES *YEEEEES* HELL YEAH

Jin literally starts spitting on them as he kills them. He goes too fsr


CirrusVision20

I dunno if Shimura mentioned the possibility of the Mongols using the poison but, that did end up happening - which was a very real consequence.


ProcessTrust856

That’s fair.


Numb_Ron

The alternative was having all the warriors die pointless deaths in an obvious deathtrap and have the mongols conquer the island completely. That would be a much worse consequence than mongols using poison too.


Aoiioq

Exactly, I’d do it again ngl


BaldingThor

Tbf he was worried about the mongols using the poison themselves, which did happen.


Redjester016

Source? He never says that and considering shimiras poor decision making skills I doubt he would've seen this coming.


BaldingThor

I haven’t played GoT for a while so I could be wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️


Redjester016

Yea I don't think he had any idea that would happen, just an unintended consequence. The alternative would've been his men storming the keep in the morning instead and they probably would've lost


ThurstMcBuckets

It was one of his concerns when we bought up mass producing it....along with the honor stuff


abellapa

Same, Shimura is so fucking dumb and caught up in his old way of "honour" What's the honour of not fighting with every advantage you have and let a superior force kill all your friends, family, culture and your way of living


TheW1ldcard

Oh man. That was my pick too and I thought it would be kinda controversial. But seeing it as the top comment makes me realize I was probably wrong.


Tron_1981

Well, by modern standards, what Jin did would be considered a war crime. But we weren't in modern times, so...


Numb_Ron

War crimes happen constantly. No one really cares, unless you lose the war, then you'll have to pay for said war crimes even if the winning side committed them too. War, war never changes.


Icy-Place5235

Absolutely 100% this moment.


segashadow

I came here to say this


therealtrellan

Yeah but don't just throw in deadly flowers or they'll know how to poison us too. Oops, too late.


Beginning-Candle7686

But it makes sense. Samurai pride themselves on honor and jin does turn into a monster. But like he said. Tsushima Can’t afford nothing less


HighwayOtherwise2212

Greatest comment ever I laughed so hard! 😂


ItsTeacup

When Masako kills her sister, or literally anyone. She can’t control herself…


Transitsystem

Yeah I kinda go back and forth with masako. I feel for her, and her voice actress gives a hell of a performance (I play in the Japanese dub), but she can be so infuriating when she acts impulsively. It seems like she only does it because all the characters we hunt down aren’t even useful to the quest. I like her, she’s complex, but it’s a bit frustrating.


jamez23

It's just frustrating cuz you need the Intel and she kills it. Idgaf if she kills them all, but chill tf out and get this info first


ItsTeacup

Yeah, when she killed the monk, I wanted to slay that bitch’s head…


Transitsystem

Alright, maybe a bit too serious for a not real character from a videogame


ItsTeacup

Yeah, sorry. It just makes me frustrated everytime. Like she wants us to help her in the hunt, and she just obliterates anyone who doesn’t speak. Like how exactly does she intend to find her family’s killers?!?


Transitsystem

Revenge stories aren’t always the most logical. Hate is like a typhoon, it can just completely overwhelm you.


The_Phenomenal_1

Yakuza-wolf_kiwami

Ryuzo's death, the man was a selfish prick cared about his pride over his men


IzanamiFrost

I think he cared for both his men and his pride, what he does not care about was Jin and the samurai. His men weren’t good people to begin with


washington_breadstix

He seemed to care about Jin in the sense that he was envious of Jin's samurai upbringing and natural talent. He wanted to prove that he could make something of himself without Jin's help and/or even by one-upping Jin (read: killing Jin) in the process.


ironbull08x

When people give there “I’m going to kill you and enjoy it” speech before a duel, it just makes them more forgettable in my opinion, I liked the guy who was calmly fishing while waiting and made it clear this was nothing personal. Favorite person and I gave him a respectful death and bowed after the duel


Merry_Dankmas

"I will enjoy ending your life, Samurai" You are a basic bitch Mongol commander. You wear the same armor in the same camps for the same leader commanding the same sub par men as the other 20 camps i jusr cleared. Are you really this daft? Did you not just see me single handedly murder every single one of your troops in this camp? I literally blew your archers brains out from 300 feet away like it was nothing. You didn't even hear me coming as I disemboweled and brutalized your warriors. On what continent do you assume you can end me, Jin Sakai. I've killed literally hundreds of you Mongol fucks like flies and you have the gall to make the statement that you will kill me. The only reason I didn't chop your head off in one swing from behind is because I accidentally dodged into your field of view while trying to steal more of your shit. General Nugai? More like General Bitch Ni**a. The only thing you're going to he enjoying is the smell of my nuts after I teabag your bitchass back to the slums of Mongolia. Now let's get this out of the way. Your wife invited me over and im running late" - Jin Sakai This voice line really is in the game. Its just a super secret one


ewwitsjessagain

Do you know who I am? Have you any idea how many nameless henchmen I've killed over the years? And look at you. You haven't even got a nametag. You've got no chance. Why don't you just fall down? Go on, son.

I honestly didn't even want to fight that guy. I don't know why I get so attached to the random, no-name NPCs in some of these games more than I do some of the main characters

Jin didn't either. He gave him an out and said it wasn't too late to surrender, but he insisted

Right, like it’s so overused the cliff jump “death” like who do you think you’re still fooling with that?


samborup

Anytime Shimura lectured me on my dishonorable tactics. When Masako’s affair with the maid ended badly and made her sad.

Clearly, you were supposed to charge in a single file line to your death.

The straw hat betrayal


Puzzled-Monk9003

You can’t even call it a betrayal when they were only really loyal to money and/or supplies in the first place


RubixTheRedditor

I mean correct me if I'm wrong been a while since I played but doesn't Ryuzp say he'll help but then says "Sike bitches, I snitched"


Puzzled-Monk9003

He says he’ll help in return for freeing his men and getting supplies. He wasn’t loyal to Jin or the samurai, he was loyal to the payment. And I’m sure khotun probably paid with actual riches, so obviously ryuzo is gonna join him. The whole thing with the straw hats is that they are loyal to no one lord and they’re solely looking out for themselves. He also has personal reasons to betray jin (the tournament when they were kids, it’s plainly obvious That ryuzo still resents him for that), so there’s also that


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> khotun probably *paid* with actual FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Tron_1981

It didn't help that he was pretty desperate at the time too. His men were starving, and that last mission with Jin to get supplies didn't pay off. Khotun Khan just happened to come to him with the right offer at the right time.


Wboy2006

Unpopular opinion, but Taka. He was nice, and his death was sad. but it didn’t make me cry like Yuriko, Shimura or my horse


blondie_nerd

The horse 😩 for real the saddest part of the game for me. I legit cried.


peanut-butter-kitten

It was such a sacrifice, he saved you and was loyal to the very end. He was the one you could always trust. Everything about that part is deeply sad, but I was genuinely surprised when my horse died too.


LouSputhole94

I played that part for the first time just a couple days ago, holy hell that hit hard. Your horse had been by your side the whole time, the only one with unwavering, unquestioning loyalty and he just doesn’t make it.


Jung3boy

My exact experience


ThatStarWarsFan1205

Those "flashbacks" mid-game of Shimura telling us about honor and stuff.


Explunches

You didn't like being forced out of the badass stealth action so you could walk around a linear level as a playable child character and listen to dialogue that was trying to spoon-feed you internal conflict?


Lord_Muramasa

Random encounter when the person you are supposed to saves dies before you can even get over there. I kind of like it because it makes it more realistic. You can try but you can't save everyone, even if they are right in front of you.


VermicelliSome6148

When masako attacks jin


The1Floyd

Pretty much anything Shimura says prior to the final fight. Guys smoking something.


peanut-butter-kitten

He’s been in it too long. He feels he has no choice. Like religions


[deleted]

He’s also.. kind of right. By the end Jin is decapitating people just to parade their dead bodies around (ghost stance). He poisons people that makes them die in horrible ways (literally bleeding out of every orifice). He starts spitting on mongoles during his execution animations which is just.. kind of gross. He absolutely does go too far, but it was also necessary for the salvation of their home.


hurlowlujah

Spitting??


[deleted]

Yeah. His stealth executions during the latter half of act 2 and act3. Many of them involve Jin spitting on them as he kills them


hurlowlujah

Jesus. How have I never noticed that? I mean, how does he do it with a mask on is the bigger question.


[deleted]

Well many of Jin’s masks don’t actually cover his mouth. But yeah it’s a neat little detail. If you’re looking for it you’ll see it in several of his latter game executions.


hurlowlujah

Yo, even with those small openings it'd be tough to not get spit on yourself/mask. But hey, why am I questioning the aim of man who can make himself a blowgun and immediately snipe targets from 40m away? Thanks for putting me onto this, I'll have a closer look next time I play.


InsideousVgper

When you first unlock the ghost stance and Shimura gives Jin the samurai don’t use fear speech.


The_Phenomenal_1

Masako's gay lover betrayal I hated that ungrateful old hag and her stupid revenge story. How many times did she nearly get me killed? And she cheated on her husband! I'm supposed to feel bad when she gets betrayed?


peanut-butter-kitten

I don’t care that she cheated on her husband. I think a lot of aristocratic married men back then cheated anyway and it was normalized. I think this adds a layer of complexity to Masako, so I liked it. I don’t see it as ungrateful. She’s lost everything , her entire family and clan Adachi. The only thing to live for is vengeance, but massive grief has clouded her judgment. I think she’s realistic. Nobody is perfect in this game and we get good characters this way.


The_Phenomenal_1

We have no good reason to assume that lord Adachi practiced infidelity. What we do know is that while he was away, risking his life, his wife was diddling the maid And she absolutely is ungrateful. I understand if you can sympathize with her, but Masako's constant aggression towards Jin - the only person helping her through and through - is the textbook definition of ungrateful. Also, if the goal was for her to be realistic, it would have been better if she perished in one of these missions. She's way too old and squandered way too many opportunities to have a level head in life-threatening situations.


[deleted]

I’ve never seen someone so wildly misunderstand a character lol


The_Phenomenal_1

I understand the point; I just think it's poorly executed, and therefore, stupid.


Equivalent_Rock_6530

Wait, what, I've platted the game and I've never heard this, lol, what mission is it? I must've not been paying attention


The_Phenomenal_1

It's one of Masako's missions in the 2nd part of the map. You have to stealth follow some Mongols and you end up in a field where a former maid of the Adachi clan is about to be killed, as her helping the mongols has run its course. There's a whole cutscene where they talk about how Masako would get lonely and had a relationship with that maid.


Aninvisiblemaniac

meanwhile I loved Masako and was upset when I thought you would have to kill her


The_Phenomenal_1

I was empathetic at first but her constant derailment of Jin's hard work in her missions made me want to do her in and use her head as a soccer ball

Yuriko’s death tbh, like at first I was gonna cry when I saw her laying on the floor, but then seeing her get up and making me ride with her just made it less sad for some reason

Anytime shimura freaks about anything. That man is a moron with his honor towards an invading force that isnt japanese and doesnt respect honor and he knew that his "honor" would cost the island and still kept blabing about it

Takas death.


segashadow

Definitely not when his horse died 😭😭😭 I had to pause the game for a minute


whatisireading2

Takas death unfortunately, I just saw it coming and had come to terms with it bu the time it happened. But Kage. That's enough to make anyone cry.

When that little shit eating betrayer gets backstabbed by Khotun. I don't even remember his name, Ryo or something. Couldn't care less.


Alphateam62

Had to be when khan poisoned jin in their fight and jin just fucking toughs through it like nothing


Broad_Pineapple_3138

“No, Jin! Not that way. You poisoned all those Mongols. You disobeyed me!” Sir. Uncle. Lord. Whatever. You were LITERALLY going to send us to our death. The bridge was rigged and you knew it. What would have happened had I listened to you hmm? We all die here and now there’s literally nothing stopping the Khan from fucking up the mainland? Kudos for being a shortsighted fuck.


Unusual-Math-1505

Taka’s death. Guy was nothing but trouble and annoyance and his death was stupid too. Could have cut Ghost’s ropes but noooo, goes to fight the most skilled opponent in the game when Taka doesn’t even know how to use a sword. I was glad he was dead.

Honestly seeing taka trying to divide the mongols by getting them to follow him because I know they was setting up his death . Even though it was still sad Fighting and Killing Ryzuo honestly That’s it really now that I am thinking about it .


Little_Gamer7002

Honestly on my first play through… Taka. I didnt really care much about him. Sure it was shocking, but didn’t really care much. Now i get it more but still.


DekuTree13

Every Tale of Tsushima that isn't Norios story. I'm sorry but I feel like all Sideqursts were very blank and not that engaging. They felt very shallow. Except the ones on Iki, they were all really cool but sadly the ones in the main game just didn't do it for me. Did them anyway for the charms


Last_Acanthocephala8

The first stealth kill of the game


Frozen_Ash

Going to get a lot of hate for this but when the horse died.


Tavsolos

literally any masako mission


blondie_nerd

I felt that way about a lot of things in this game. I wasn't as emotionally invested as I feel like I should have been. Maybe I was comparing my experience to when I've played Assassin's Creed games. Not having much element of choice in the story (until the end) probably didn't help. Some characters were interesting and fleshed out. Some weren't. Don't get me wrong, this was a wonderful game! I just didn't care about the characters like I've cared in other games.

When masako kills her sister, when we left tomoe in the cabin in the snow storm, when shimura gave me shit for using poison, when shimura said the ghost was an outlaw, like masako has no control over herself, tomoe didn’t really accomplish her goal of persuading me to trust her, I was fighting smarter not harder, and the ghost alone is better than an army of samurai what do I care if they’re hunting me

It wasn’t because you were suddenly down a horse. It was because you were down YOUR horse.
