[@moonmoon2479]

In large part, that first part is what matters. Jin cared about the people, Shimiura didn’t. That’s why honor exists, to keep the peasants in their place. So Jin helping them win the war that the shogun couldn’t is a hard L for them to hold.

[@warriorking0723]

​​​@@moonmoon2479that is not how I view honor. Their viewpoint on what honor is supposed to be is rigid and narrowing. In my opinion true honor is found in compassion and strength and courage on behalf of those who can't protect themselves. That is why the ghost is a man of honor in my eyes.

I think sparing him in the end is the best because it represents Jin's code of honor which is to protect his people and his family no matter the cost. Unlike his uncle's code of honor no matter the cost.

[@battaglino77]

Plus it gives Shimura an out from having to commit seppuku. Jin is a man without honor so the fact that Shimura was spared and wounded in battle demonstrates that he still upheld his by trying to kill Jin. That's why Shimura looks practically relieved when Jin spares him. He now knows what Jin has to do, but mourns him never seeing his adopted son again.

[@smithwesson1896]

I like how satisfying both endings are. On one hand, if Jin spares his uncle, he still considers him as family, despite having cast aside his honor and knowing his uncle will continue to hunt him for the rest of his days. On the other, granting him a warrior's death proves to him that Jin still has some degree of honor left, he even refers to him as "my son" one last time before Jin delivers the killing blow, with a smile on his face, promising that they'll meet again in the next life. Either way, Jin has nothing else to lose but his home by the end. That is a great way to set up the sequel.

[@LewRotic]

The Brilliant And Amazing Gamer true

[@KeiosKod]

But I’d say Jun’s uncle would be happier if he died at his hands instead, if he were to choose. Like he taught Jin in the flashback when he had Jin kill that assassin while looking at them straight in the eye, that’s how a samurai shows respect for the other’s life. If he commits seppuku, it’s to atone for his dishonor of failing. If Jin kills him, it would comfort him in death. Well, that’s assuming he has to commit seppuku anyway, since Jin acts like his uncle won’t be dying in the scene after with Yuna.

[@wunder7379]

I'm not sure if shimura will die but I know he isnt dead because I heard a few peasants talking about how "Lord Shimura got to the castle gates and collapsed, the samurais had to carry him in" etc and that it'll take a few months for him to heal,

The representation i'm getting from the colored leaves they both sit on. Jin sitting on the white leaves represents him defending the people he cares for at any cost and gaining freedom from the code. Shimura sitting on the red leaves represents him being a slave to the code and having to spill his son's blood for it.

[@squirrel4788]

That's a really good observation!

[@isaiassaraviabuendia9635]

Since you spotted the petals, look at the Yin and Yang symbol they become when Jin and Shimura sit. I was thinking Shimura is wearing white to reflect order, authority and purity. Among red petals that symbolize blood, war, and death. While Jin is wearing red on white petals. Symbolizing he's a gruesome murderer among an order and authority. Who ever made this scene has appropriately earned an applause from many.

I really love this ending, it shows how Jin even though he became a ruthless fighter who taken down the Khan and even saved not only Tsushima but the main island where the Shogun is, he is hunted by the same people who fought for his same cause. Not because he defeated the mongols in a dishonorable way, but because he embraced The Ghost persona who sent a precedent for the common people to follow a different figure and in general threaten the Shogun's leadership, Jin opened his eyes and his mind when he become this figure to protect Tsushima and its people at all costs, when Shimura still puts the honor and his servitude to his superior above everything, even his nephew and the people of the island. Their fight shows how Shimura's blind faith made him try to kill his own family who risked everything to rescue him, and Jin victory and choice of kill or spare equally shows how he loves his uncle nevertheless(Killing him fullfil his desires of dying a honorable death, and Sparing him shows how The Ghost is not the monster the Shogun paint him to be and how Jin won't let himself to see another paternal figure get killed)

Jin putting on the ghost mask one last time to his uncles disappointment is literally the perfect ending. The other ending goes against everything the entire game built up in my opinion. To the point where I question why they even bothered to have two different endings to begin with.

[@dontaejones7419]

It also acts as proof that Jin still has honour and hammers home the implicit message of the game that honour isn't strictly tied to the system of Bushidō, just like the other ending does. In the sparing ending, Jin fully rejects all of Bushidō and his Uncle's wishes to demonstrate his commitment to breaking away from his Uncle's way of thinking. In the killing ending, Jin demonstrates that just because he has betrayed the code and gone his own way, that doesn't mean he is without honour. Both endings showcase that Jin has rejected Bushidō's strict concepts of honour for his own more flexible moral code and act as equally viable endpoints for Jin's metamorphosis.

[@dontaejones7419]

There are two ways to interpret Jin's actions towards his uncle's request. The first is that Jin completely rejects the code, which leads to him leaving his family behind as a demonstration of his commitment. The second interpretation is that Jin ceremonially cuts ties with the code through one final "honourable" act while also severing his last link. This action ensures that Jin can never go back to the code again.

[@josephstalin2606]

The kill ending is still more emotional tho as Shimura accepts Jin as his son after everything. In the spare option Shimura will probably still have to commit seppuku and they part ways on a bitter note

The true difficulty in this moment was fighting through the tears

[@adonisyach]

If lord shimuras tears had sound, it would be the ghast of tsushima.

[@user-co3uc8vt7e]

Tear-inducing final boss battle where you reluctantly duel your character's mentor, in the field covered with white petals. I might have seen this in certain other Japanese game... Edit: I didn't know Ghost of Tsushima is not Japanese game by origin.

[@Kylesaystuff]

Genghis Khan but that one they barely even made out to the surface and most mongols were death before the battle due to storm. And it is a huge win for the Japanese since the beginning not like the first time, but I really hope SP can keep this Asian artistic style to make something new. Not many developers do that in the western gaming company.

[@TheAfghan72]

The uncle was a good man but too obsessed with honour that he couldn't see the good Jin had done. But i spared him because he was the only family Jin had left.

[@coldshadow987]

This final battle was nothing short of high art. The fight with Khotun Khan, and the Khan's stereotypical "big bad guy" character in general, felt relatively weak, but this last battle makes it clear that the story was never about just "fighting the Mongols". The build up, the haiku, and the choice at the end was especially difficult; you either do the honorable thing and kill the man who has only ever loved you like a son, or let him live but dishonor him forever. Story and build up, it is easily one of the best and most heartbreaking that I've ever played. Masterpiece of writing and animation. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE DO A CASE STUDY ON THIS, NAUGHTY DOG. MIGHT HELP.

[@hassanaz1411]

remember when Shimura said don't let your emotion control you ? here Lord Shimura can't control his emotion he was too weak in the fight as the last boss because he can't do it you can hear it in his voice and words "it's my punishment" and he also cries which shows how he emotionally went ... That's why i like Shimura and i felt that he was my family and he was real ... Note : I played the whole game in hard mode and Shimura was very weak compared to other duels

[@jorgemadrid645]

Hassan Az I played the game in normal and shimura was the boss that killed me the most times all the others were easy

[@purpleheart9160]

Shimura was honestly pretty easy compared to Khan, Ryuzo and the other bosses. But I think it makes the fight more impactful, how you're forced to win against him.

[@lunch_trey]

Never played the game but man does this fight seem amazing! They showed no hatred towards each other, only sadness and regret that their paths must cross like this. And they still walk away still calling each other family.

The graphics, the set pieces, the dialogue, the action, the stances, the weapon variety, the armor variety, the music, the main story, the side tales, the haikus🔥🔥🔥 I’ve never played a game as beautiful as this. Closest I’ve coke was playing God of War 4 and 5. The irony and beauty of Jin’s character is that he has done many “dishonorable” things, but for the honorable cause of saving Tsushima, and its people. Hats off to the creators of this game

“I've been through a lot in the past few years. And it's been hard, but I'm realizing that I had to go through all those things to learn the truth. I thought I had lost my honor, and that somehow my father could return it to me. But I know now that no one can give you your honor. It's something you earn for yourself by choosing to do what's right. All I want now is to play my part in ending this war.” A great fire bender once said those words. These two should learn from them.

[@chipperdrewski]

I actually like the ending better where you honor his wish and kill him. I convinced myself that he was already going to die of blood loss and would probably commit seppuku if I didn’t kill him. That ending is extremely emotional and sad, but also beautiful.
