Ryuzo's Death and Boss Fight - Ghost of Tsushima Cutscene (Ghost of Tsushima Cinematics)

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

Ryuzo was pathetic, honestly. He was too proud to ask Jin for a job after losing to him in the tournament, but not too proud to become Khotun's B without even trying to fight him off, nor too proud to try and save his own skin at the end, even after all he had done to protect a bunch of child killers. Jin deserved better. Ryuzo in the other hand got exactly what he deserved.

[@dohk1105]

@@people2chronically-online Simp behaviour. Tamoe killed an untold amount of innocent people but she was forgiven by the fansbase after batting her eyelashes. Her reasons for it were completely selfish and she didn't end by becoming a hero. Ryuzo while wrong as well did it to feed his men and was trying to save lives. He realized he was in too deep too late and lost control of his men.

He joined Khan because his people were starving, getting sick and dying. And noble samurai would just through them into another suicadal attack. He made the wrong decision, but you can see why he made it.

[@dorime3031]

@@dohk1105 I would rather simp tomoe than a traitor like ryuzo, in the last mission with tomoe she explains what really happened, she was captured and forced to work, people she killed were already being tortured by mongols, she gave them a quick death not out of anger or hate. According to her she always tried to convince mongols to not kill innocents although failed because she was not in control, even told them to stay away from jin and her sensei. Ryuzo is pathetic in every way, feeding his men was just an excuse, he did not care about his sadistic men, he threw them to their deaths just to please khan, could not even own up to his mistakes in the end. He only ever tried to reason with jin when he realized he or his men can't defeat him, otherwise he came for his head in their first fight.

[@DreamingLara]

And in the end, Jin gave Ryuzo a samurai's death...

[@rostislavfateev1705]

I can't really understand why so many people feel bad for Ryuzo. Him and the Straw Hats had the best chances (aside from Lord Shimura's army and Shogun's army) to fight back the Mongols, yet the act like pussies and scumbags during the whole game, torturing their own people.

[@rostislavfateev1705]

Robert De La Torre He was a great friend to Jin before the events in the game, so a player doesn’t see any of this (I doubt that there even was a cutscene showing their past relationships). The first impression about Ryuzo the player gets is when he starts bitching about the lost tournament, implying that Jin should have let him win. And from this moment it only goes downhill. Mind, that Jin constantly meets hopeless weak peasants resisting the Mongols, but the man having a small army decides to join the enemy. By the way, I don’t have a problem with him as a character, he can be whatever the plot needs. I just surprised seeing so many people feeling bad for him, when he got the consequences for his actions.

[@jamesbrockman6221]

[@ixiahj]

Ryuzo wasn't a bad guy. He just made bad choices. Most of which wasn't even for himself. It was for his Straw Hats. He did what he had to do the same way Jin did what he had to do as the Ghost and Shimura criticizes him. He should have surrendered when Jin asked him to but he didn't. My only problem with this was that Tomoe was also kind of like Ryuzo but they let her go.

[@izilladkilla]

He did what he thought was right. His men were starving, Khotan Khan offered them food and shelter in exchange for killing Jin. It's true that Jin said that Lord Shimura might make him a samurai if he rescues him, but even if he did, then what? Lord Shimura would send them to their deaths, just like he did back on Komoda Beach. Although, it was pathetic when he tried to avoid being punished. Not saying Ryuzo was in the right to betray Jin and his country, but I can at least understand what his motivations were for doing it.

Still, Ryuzo could've fought, he might've died but he would be remembered as a hero by the people of Tsushima, but no, he did not do that, he let the monsters under his command do whatever they wanted to and kissed the Khan's backside.

Leviton Le he tried to kill Jin, sold out his homeland and employed his men to the mongols aid, burned innocents and turned down many of Jin’s offers and even sold out his position to the mongols after loosing the duel. He threw away his friendship with Jin, disregarded his disdain for the mongols and worked with them because he would rather kill peasants than fight in a samurai army.

[@principecrociato1085]

I was hoping to save Ryuzo up until this point, then I thought about Taka and I said "You know what, he's past the point of no return." and agreed with Jin, glad he got what he deserved in the end. If he'd come straight to Jin before this, then it'd be fair, but here he is like a cornered rat.

[@J-BiRTH]

I feel like killing Ryuzo should have been a choice left up to the player, Either take the honorable route and kill Ryuzo for his crimes or the more pragmatic route and spare a criminal so he has another skilled warrior to fight the Mongols. It seems like far too many of the "HonorVsPracticality" conflicts of this game fall into being more "StupidityVsCommonSense" and sparing Ryuzo would have brought more nuance towards the idea of doing the right thing versus doing whatever gives you an edge against the enemy.

[@Cklert]

Ryuzo was already once a traitor. Keeping him alive was never going to be a result. Either Jin kills him now. Or his Uncle will kill him later. In terms of practicality, never bet on a guy who's willing to switch sides the moment when the odds aren't in his favor.

So I'm only up to the start of Act 2 at the moment and I am so confused on why people feel sorry.

Even at the tournament he could've asked Jin or Lord Shimura to give him a chance to prove himself again. But his ego got in the way and just left a chance to become a samurai. Maybe he would've died at Komoda but atleast he would be a samurai.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

If I could have written this differently, I would not have written Ryuzo to have tried to lie his way back into Jin's good graces. It felt pointless at that point. I mean, at best, yes, they wanted to convey fear. "Ryuzo knows he messed up". But I think that up to this point, they had him well written. He didn't NEED to be a coward, per se. He could have been adversarial while still maintaining a solid stand on his belief of trying to look out for his men. In fact, his feud with Jin had this beautiful artistic symmetry to it, in that Jin was an official samurai backing his recruits, and Ryuzo was a Ronin backing his. You can equate that to a cop, and a lieutenant in a gang or mob. They could have feuded as friends, which is a very common theme in Japanese films.

[@dorime3031]

he was a coward, in their first fight he sold jin, he came for his head. I am tired of this 'equally right' but on different sides troupe. food was just an excuse, he just wanted the easy way out by helping the winning side no matter how many innocents died, i like how game did not justify his actions, if it was hollywood they would have given him a redemption arc.

Not mad at you at all. However, from a practical point of view...Ryuzo betrayed his country and Jin once before. To take him in afterwards would be a major risk to Jin and his allies. I don't blame Jin for killing him and tbh even though they were best friends Jin could never trust him again. If Jin was to not kill him then the other option Jin best had was what he offered Ryuzo which was to surrender, but even then he would most likely just be executed. At the very least, Ryuzo got a warriors death.

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

Ryuzo had a chance to do good even after betraying Jin the first time. Jin would have forgiven him right there but he chose to become Kothun's lapdog instead.
