What I love the most about this fight is how, in the end, Isshin had everything he wanted. He wanted to fight Sekiro to have an honorable duel with him, but he also didn't like Genichiro's idea of using Kuro's blood to restore Ashina's glory. So in the end, he had the duel of his lifetime with Sekiro and Genichiro's plan failed, as he hoped.

Idk pulling out Glock out of nowhere considered a honorable duel

[@shanemcnelis2667]

True, Isshin's one regret was that he did not live to be bested by a greater foe. Whereas in the Shura ending, Isshin dies without hope, unable to defeat Wolf, in the other endings he gets to die with honor and take pride in being bested in combat by Wolf. It's a good ending for him, even though his clan came to ruin.

this is the only boss where i didnt deflect (much) or mikiri counter, mostly because i just had such a hard time gauging his attacks, so i pretty much just did what this guy did, which was boring as hell but i just wanted to finish the game. Lol

@@hurricane9851 then you downplayed the final boss of the game which made it an uninteresting fight. You felt no significance towards the final boss, to quote "You experience a hollow victory"

​@@nguyeninhtri1155 Listen, when the final boss battle is 2 cutscenes that need skipping, a repeat of a previous boss and then a 3 stage bossfight where he pulls some new bullshit moveset in every phase /and there is no in-boss checkpoint/, I don't give a shit anymore. Genichiro is an awesome evenly matched fight, high speed fight. Lady Butterfly is an awesome deflect/counter/pressure pressure fight. Phase 1 of Ishin is an awesome bossgfight - but phase 2 & 3 are. just. not. And by the time I get there, that 2&3 are readable to where I feel competent deflecting everything, Genichiro has more new neck-holes than he has intact skin left and all fun has exited the game. Which is exactly what happened in the video - Genichiro and phase 1 were over in like less than 2 minutes each by playing it the 'Sekiro' way, but fuck the phases after that. If Ishin wants to pull out some long range attacks, AoE and projectile spam like a Dark Souls boss, he better be prepared to go down like one.

[@nguyeninhtri1155]

@@Sareth94 yeah he does pull some bs out of nowhere and like you said, genichiro and isshin's first phase didn't even matter after a while. But phase 2 and 3 were very exciting as you can see him getting tools he didn't have previously which gives you a sense that he is not exactly human anymore and gives you a sense of duty to defeat him, to save Japan. And the fact that everything you have done has lead to this moment makes you wanna fight the boss the "Sekiro" way as then it would be a strong way of showing that you have bested the game and have overcome it. Then again, everyone has their own opinion and I'm not going to criticize your preferences, your experience with Sekiro is probably very different from mine.

[@SeismicHammer]

Bloodbourne doesn't have heavy armor though. Sekiro is certainly faster paced, but the idea that Japanese armor or swords are lighter is weird. Steel is very dense, and katanas and longswords are actually similar weight. Sekiro is simply wearing less armor.

[@tangytablets5150]

@@SeismicHammer i think its more of the design of the blade that contributes to its cumbersomeness. Katanas were curved and thinned out to allow quick and fluid cuts with near precise slicing while Western swords are straight and very heavy in certain areas that they have to be wielded in a way that uses the weight to help cut the opponent down.

[@SeismicHammer]

@@tangytablets5150 It's partly to do with role. Katana were originally cavalry swords, so they are designed for slashing, whereas longswords were infantry weapons. European sabers were also curved for similar reasons. Regardless, both were about 3 feet long and of similar width, so they weighed about the same. A curve would not greatly affect weight balance.

He's really not as bad as everyone made him out to be. Cheesing just makes this more tedious. Just learn his attacks and mikri counter those thrusts as often as possible. Amazing boss fight! You feel a million times better beating him head on as well.

[@venonaut9782]

Without a doubt using mikiri counter and parrying would have helped so much in this fight. Just watching him run around the boss in phases 2 and 3 hurt so much. Granted, I got hurt really bad in those phases when I did it, but I ended phase 2 in under 2 minutes by countering, and the 3rd in under a minute using lightning reversals.

[@michaelchristidis8658]

As someone who has learnt the art of parrying and mikiri counter I can say that I was deeply hurt watching this video

[@demonsamongstmen562]

This game, is truly amazing. I love this ending can't wait to play through and get it. History repeats itself, and wolf becoming a sculptor just hit home for me.

this is the second worst ending. sekiro ends up alone. eteranally atoning for his sins, like sekijo.

F*cking Genichiro again??? like if you beat this guy at the tutorial stage of the game and after that he still comes back?? sigh... The Japanese voice actor of him is Kenjiro Tsuda who also voices Seto Kaiba in Yu-Gi-Oh! guess this makes a nice explanation, that this guy just can't f*cking loose.

[@shanemcnelis2667]

I'm still confused about something: where did Genichiro acquire the second mortal blade? There's only one divine child, and she possessed the crimson blade, so where did Genichiro find the black one? Besides eavesdropping on Isshin when he alludes to a second mortal blade, what mention is there of it? My guess is that Lady Tomoe gave it to Genichiro after she attempted mortal severance with Lord Takeru (and failed) but that's just speculation.

Such a top notch fight. If you played Sekiro upto here, the way the developers wanted you to. The fight is so deeply satisfying. It is the duel of a decade. Took me 8 tries to kill him, but every second our swords clashed, I loved it.

[@zacharyrodriguez6027]

The video would’ve been done in eight minutes if you STOP RUNNING AND USE THE MIKIRI COUNTER!!

[@Thagyr]

The final execution move is pretty sweet. Swordlocks him, gets his head under Isshin's arm and uses his whole body to shove it upward to break his guard and get a shot at his belly.

[@Sol-dc8zw]

As much as I love this final boss, I feel like running away and cheesing him takes the fun out of this fight :/

[@TylerG13]

Took me 5 minutes total between Genichiro and Isshin because I actually fought them😂

[@michaelchristidis8658]

The actual fight took me 5 minutes as well when I beat him...its all about learning their animations and being focused the entire time...if you let your guard down expecting that you've won when the boss is one shot the there is a good chance that he is gonna kill you

I'm still fighting isshin how many deaths you say? Let's just say, every one of the npc's are sick now.

Two things: mikiri counters and kick attacks. Use them

[@nicholasruble3262]

I just caught that, on the final attack, Genichiro is able to push the blade away from his heart and into his shoulder to avoid it being a fatal blow. That way he can still kill himself with the blade to bring back Isshin.

[@TylerG13]

Took me 5 and a half minutes to beat this monster when I finally beat him. Posture break route is a lot faster and holy hell, it’s so immersive. It’s exactly what I was wanting the final fight to be. A one on one that truly tests your skills in every single area of the game. You basically feel every single clash. I’ve never experienced a boss on this level and I don’t think I ever will again. This truly felt like the final test in a long ass journey, and when you ace it it’s the best feeling that a game can give you. Killing Owl made me tear up and get emotional, this fight pushed me to my limits. It took me many tries. I had to grind this for about 10 hours, between the fight and farming candy/spirit emblems. This is, without a doubt in my mind, the best final boss I’ve ever seen and/or played in a video game. It may sound silly to people that haven’t played the game yet, but this fight literally humbled me. The biggest hurdle I’ve ever had to jump over in a video game left me humble and speechless.

You should really try to parry and mikiri counter more often. It would take you half the time or even less.

@@scootboot69420 yeah my winning attempt with him took around 3 mins by deflecting and using the umbrella for his air slicing attacks because I sucked at the deflect timing with them. Some attempts where I did decent but still lost yeah took around 4-6 mins. Pretty sure with demon bell can extend it by another minute or two.
