Sooga wasn't just his best lackey. He was the son Master Kohga never had. And it tore him apart to leave him behind. That is why he went to Princess Zelda. That's why he cried when he saw the King and his daughter having that beautiful moment at the temple. He knows that love all too well.

You know, seeing this, it's easy to understand why the Yiga clan were so devoted to Kohga in BotW.

[@movinitlikedat45]

If the nearby twin bridges are any indication, Kohga and Sooga managed to reach Dueling Peaks, just a short ways from Fort Hateno prior to the ground mission of Each Step Like Thunder. Here's how I break down what happened after Sooga's sacrifice: Following Sooga's (assumed) demise, Kohga spends the next few moments mourning him whilst hiding a ways from Fort Hateno, when Link's party arrives. Kohga secretly watches Link start to struggle against the combined assault of the Blight Ganons, as he suddenly pictures the outcome of Sooga's bout with them. His mind starts to race... "If Sooga couldn't defeat these phantoms all at once, how can this Link character?" With that thought in his head, Kohga's helplessness reaches critical mass and he suddenly finds himself secretly feeling for Link as well, seeing him as a parallel (of sorts) of Sooga. Then Zelda finally awakens her sealing power in a bid to save her knight... and an opportunity arises. Seeing this, Kohga has an opportunity to avenge his fallen comrades, including Sooga. Knowing that Zelda and her forces wouldn't accept him among their ranks as he is due to their history, he takes the opportunity to disguise himself as one of their Hylian soldiers, inserting himself among their ranks and helping to fight off the monsters and Guardians surrounding the fort. After the victory and Zelda's subsequent rallying speech, Kohga (still in disguise) finally works up the nerve to ask Zelda if he can speak privately with her. With Impa accompanying them, Zelda asks what the "Hylian soldier" wanted to say, and in response, Kohga leaps up to (I'm assuming) the Cliffs of Quince, drops his disguise, and - as Impa goes on the defensive - leaps off the cliffs and, bowing himself before them, proposes an alliance, finally ending the Yiga's long-long-standing grudge against Hyrule. BTW, going further, when you think about it, Link and Sooga aren't that different from one another. Think about it: They both have someone to protect, someone for whom they're willing to die: Sooga has Kohga, while Link has Zelda. They're both very skilled with swords, though Sooga uses two swords to Link's one. They're both loyal to their respective groups: Sooga is loyal to Kohga and the Yiga, while Link is loyal to Zelda and the Kingdom of Hyrule. Comment if you noticed this.

It just comes to show that even Zelda Time travel can’t prevent sad moments(obviously because of Ocarina of Time of course). Like Sidon encourages his younger self to get stronger to protect his sister Mipha even though he did that already and she still died in BOTW, Riji got the Thunder Helm stolen AGAIN by the Yiga Clan which lowered her self esteem compared to the first time it was stolen in BOTW, and now this……Zelda Games man…

[@NinSega89]

The timeline of BOTW and AOC are different. The Breath of the Wild version is a timeline where the Calamity has ruled over Hyrule and made most people to their demise. Sooga probably died either by Astor or during that 100 years and all Champions are killed by the Blights. The Age of Calamity is a continuation timeline where Terrako goes back in time and saved many many situations and prevented so many deaths which created a whole different fate.

The way that Master Kohga interrupted Sooga when he asked him to leave him behind and the way me hesitated to run when Sooga held of the Blights just says that he cares about his fellow comrades, overall I think Master Kohga is a great character. My fav part: 2:20

[@alwaysshit]

If Master Kohga cared about Sooga so much, he’d have sacrificed himself, being older at that point (where Sooga would have much more life to live) and as a protector of Sooga. He could’ve stayed, and fought with Sooga. Or maybe try fleeing with him. He might’ve died either way, but he would’ve died helping Sooga, instead of running away like a big coward.

Despite being a group of bad guys. Once they encountered real evil they instantly stopped their "evil" path. Kohga despite being selfish he's selfish in a way we're he want to keep everything he owns safe even if it's his "stupid" minions. On another level... Sooga has a trait in characters I love because it's what I experienced. The unpayable debt. My best friend was someone I met in middle school and I felt indebted to as he kept me holding onto this world for so long. People forget how much one action can influence a person's life. In Sooga's case it was a banana that was given to him while he was hungry. For my friend it was me simply asking if I was in the right location. To think that one act ended up with me making a friend who did so much for me. I'm still in debt to him in my eyes.

You know a playable Character in a game/DLC is REALLY GOOD on capitals when 1: They aren't featured in any trailer or promotional material at all, when it's a fan-favourite. 2: Has a unique banger of a theme that always overshadows the stage theme every time they SPAWN, not by just being close to them 3. It's boss character that not only breaks the rule of a Boss is nerfed when they join your party, but goes beyond that by having things that makes his boss counterpart looking like lacks on everything. 4. The fact that in order to unlock him you have to EARN IT, they aren't just "hey here you have it that character that you liked so much but it wasn't playable before" or a bland reward for just beating or completing the story/DLC, you have to play GOOD to unlock it on a single mision , which is basically like the devs are telling "you didn't paid to get rewarded you paid to play more and get rewarded for that" which what it always should be. 5. He becomes playable out of nowhere without any warning at all, he doesn't appear as you could select him and the fact that in the instant he is controllable his theme OVERSHADOWS the menacing and despair giving song was playing throughout the entire chapter 6. Every single one of it's animations and attacks are exaggerated and over the top 7. And definitely the best of all, the fact that instead of the same notification type sound it plays every time a character becomes playable, Sooga straight up plays the intro of his theme.

…I feel dumb as bricks I am just now realizing that Sooga held back the blights using his own soul as ammunition. When he did his hand signs I never paid attention to the fact that his energy was red like the other Yiga who lost their souls. He knew he was dead meat so he chose to not allow Kohga to get attacked and killed, while using his own soul so that no more power could be offered to the blights in case he was captured instead of killed. He pulled out his swords as a threatening gesture but it was the equivalent of holding a gun without a bullet, both from physical injury and from how weak the binding spell had made him.

Sooga is seen in the credits for the main game, so I’m going to cling to that and hope he isn’t dead. I just think/hope he was injured to the point he couldn’t fight for the rest of the events, likely returning to the hideout to heal. The clan there would probably have to restrain him to prevent him from returning to Master Kohga. When Kohga says he wants revenge for Sooga, that doesn’t necessarily mean he died. His best lackey was taken out of the fight, with grievous injuries. Kohga wants to return the favor. This is just me hoping my favorite character survives, even if he doesn’t show up in the actual game.

Sooga is the best character ever. You will not change my mind

[@franciscojaviermendezrinco1902]

When I saw Sooga for the first time I thought "Master Kohga should have saved his life if this Atlas is so loyal." And then they come to this, my answer and the sacrifice of one of my favorite characters from the whole Zelda franchise.

[@Sansgame2106]

The fact that kohga was hesitating on leaving behide his own really must have hurt he knew he wasnt strong to be of service and would get in the way, Those couple of seconds of kohga hesitating I bet he really did have a kinda heart in there even his own yell had pain and sorrow behide it and now he will kill link if it means to avenge his fallen lieutenant.

[@Jazzin96]

I’m glad they really go in depth and try to explain why the Yiga clan has so much respect for Master Khoga. Sooga is willing to sacrifice himself not because he was told Khoga is a great leader, but because he KNOWS Khoga is a great leader. Good leaders aren’t always exceptional fighters or even that intelligent. We don’t really respect Khoga since he shows himself as a blundering dummy surrounded by raging warriors. But maybe his hateful subordinates could learn a bit from Khoga’s kindness, even if he himself has trouble showing it.

So... just how old IS Master Kohga? He was a grown man in BotW, but this is 100 years before that, and he's STILL an adult. And now, in this flashback, Sooga is a child, but Master Kohga is a grownup even then. Seriously, what the hell is happening there?

[@thehylian3524]

Maybe the Sheikah and the Yiga have a longer average lifespan than typical people, ya know kind of like the Zora do. That might be why he didn't really age, because in one hundred years the Zora prince Sidon aged from a little kid to only a young adult, not an elderly person.

[@chadpeterson5698]

🤷‍♂️ by the time of BotW I'd say roughly 150 years old.

Hearing sooga say "have I repaid you back now master Kohga" gave me chills not scared ones sad one 😭😭😭🤧🤧

[@jockson7574]

2 Yiga Footsoldiers: What’s your problem, little rat? Sooga (idk how) many years later: Who are the rats now? Honestly, this cutscene was sad. Sooga was poor and needed food and encountered the Yiga. The 2 soldiers treated him like shit, but Kohga accepted him and it was the right choice. It’s more of a mystery of how old Sooga was and if he had parents or not and if he was Sheikah or Hylian or maybe a child of a Yiga soldier. But it seems like we know that he’s alive given the fact that he’s playable. I assume that maybe he was recovering after fighting off the Blight Ganon’s in the hideout and he’s seen alive in “The Battle of Fort Hateno” where Kohga orders the Yiga clan to fight the guardian scout Is and Sooga appears. I do hope we can see him in breath of the wild 2 and learn where he was during that time and we need a whole more backstory of him and other characters maybe in a 3rd age of calamity dlc as I feel like there should be some main missions after Calamity Ganon’s defeat. I also want and wish Astor was playable but it’s still possible as they never said that the second wave would be the last dlc. Maybe BOTW 2 will release either in March-December of 2022 so that’ll be a perfect timing before or after it comes out to conclude age of calamity. Thoughts on all of this?

[@micolponturo1830]

I hope that Nintendo will release another DLC too, maybe they could add something about Sooga and Astor's past and also show if Sooga really survived (I'm pretty sure about it, however I won't rest until they confirm it😅)

@@micolponturo1830 yup that’s right

[@loysilva2349]

I'm pretty sure that Sooga is dead. For starters, the challenges are non-canon, because it is explained with the first ever challenge (the practicing remote bombs one) that these are other worlds that we can go to through terrako. So, the Siege of Fort Hateno is non-canon. Also, being a playable character doesn't mean the Sooga is alive. We have Calamity Ganon as playable, but it is definitely dead and sealed away. For the end credits, they may have just added him in just for a cameo, but that is just speculation. I really like Sooga, but it just doesn't seem like he is alive.

[@potato3.732]

How has Kohga not changed since this backstory? You’d think he’d be a bit different over 150 years or so.

[@Leostar-Regalius]

BANANA

[@Exploding_Bagels]

It's because AOC happened in another timeline, where ereko went into the past which caused the calamity to even start in the first place. In the main timeline, all this never happened with khoga, which is why he's still a bit of a cocky bastard who just wants link dead

Now I see how Sooga can put up with Kohga being Kohga XD

[@Froggyman145]

That move was likely a last resort hidden technique of the Yiga, virtually unused as it seems to be powered by the vitality of the user, making it both incredibly strong but also very dangerous. And yet, Sooga used it when he was already too weak to stand, stood up and drew his swords smooth as butter like it was nothing to him, and proceeded to give all four Blights Hell long enough for Master Kohga to make it to Zelda. All because Kohga stopped his minions from hurting or killing a little boy who just wanted to survive, and gave him the banana that let him do it.

[@YaBoyNero7919]

I get it now He isn't just a heartless monster he is still human and does still care for others He just doesn't want to seem weak

[@micolponturo1830]

Ok, I've got a theory and I would like to share it with you. Let's start by saying that I think that while Sooga was facing the Blight Ganons, Astor went to Fort Hateno to stop Zelda and Link (Mission: Each Step Like Thunder - Chapter 6). When he arrived, he summoned the Blight Ganons and attacked them. However, I think that Astor didn't create other Blight Ganons, but he simply teleported to Fort Hateno the ones who were fighting against Sooga, who then managed to escape and survive. What do you think about it? Is it possible? (I'm sorry if I made some grammatical mistakes, I'm not English😅)

[@Delukatio]

That's actually a pretty solid theory.

[@micolponturo1830]

I'm happy you like it!😊

[@joshcoy6748]

Either that or they silenced sooga before being teleported.

[@chaotickohga]

I’ve got my fingers crossed that Sooga survived

[@micolponturo1830]

@@chaotickohga Me too my friend... And I also noticed something else. At the beginning of the cutscene just after the battle where Zelda's power awakens we can see two soldiers standing outside the walls. One of the is evidently injured while the other one is a captain. In another cutscene Kohga disguises himself as a captain in order to be able to talk to Zelda, so my question is: Could it be possible that the soldier in the first cutscene is the same one of the second cutscene? In my opinion Sooga was able to escape and rejoined Kohga and then they both headed to Hateno.
