- Time to talk about this new Hero Skin's lore! After reading the story to you guys, let's really dig into the story and try to break down what's good about it and what's bad. I'd say that it's a pretty generic story that you kind of know what's coming...but I can't hate it either since I enjoy this kind of story telling.
There is one glaring problem though, and we will discuss it.
Okay, legit, I hate FIGHTING Orochi. Bot or human. But this skin is utter DRIP.
It's because he has actual metal armor! Clean af!
I very much enjoyed the lore as it did remind me of the old Clint Eastwood westerns my grandfather used to watch. I will say it's kinda funny how last season we got the Unsung Knight hero skin for Warden which reminds you of Ruth, nkw we have this Orochi hero skin that reminds me of my own orochi character Ryu.
I have a theory, and if Ubisoft actually thought about it, it is genius:
This new map skin for the Bridge, feels like something either out of a theatre or a temple. You have the landscape replaced by this beautiful scenery of sand gardens, statues, and sakura petals everywhere. The whole coloration of the ambiance and the map is more of a light grey tone, with pink leaves for the trees. The red is a bit greyed, but almost enough to have a "blood/violence" effect. All of this is very abstract and gives the same vibes as a Japanese drawing. YOu also have all these weapons and arrows at the doors of the imperial city just lunged everywhere.
My guess is that this map skin could be a representation of what is happening in the mind of Master Katashi. Think about it : this map has a very abstract, kind of dreamy vibe. All the colors that are exaggerated are either red (symbol of violence and blood/bloodthirst), pink (Serenity) and white (clarity). I am not counting the fire, but it could also add to the fury of battle. My guess is that this map represents Katashi's battle with his own mind. He calms the bloodthirst of the Muramasa blade by fighting.
It reminds me of GOW ragnarok Valhalla, in which Kratos and Tyr find introspection and clarity of mind through battle. This could be the same for Katashi. His mind is at peace because he fights. But it is not a crazed, berserk way of fighting. It is discipline through violence, clarity through war. My guess is that, in order to counter the bloodthirst of the blade, he stands on the bridge to clear his mind through combat.
I do not know if this is indeed what the For Honor devs want to say to us through this map variation. But if it is, then it is beautifully artistic, and frankly, genius.
That's a cool interpretation.

I am loving this season so far, especially while listening to your videos.
I wish he was in between Kensei and Orochi.
The lore was really good. I enjoyed it
At least with this story, we know there will be a part 2 with the new hero, so we know it doesn't end here. Though I suppose that doesn't mean the sword gets more importance in the story beyond Katashi but we'll see.
Awesome video raven I really like that lore personally it might be a bit cookie cutter but sometimes simple is good
I wander how would katashi interact with the nameless knight?
You mean the unsung knight? The unsung knight is supposed to be a story told after the cataclysm destroyed everything, a role model, the unsung knight itself doesn't literally exist but the knight is supposed to represent hope, and that indeed everyone can be the unsung knight. Thats atleast my interpretation.
They basically made one big heroic figure but then sticked into that one character that always runs away.
Funny.
Well, I’m curious to see what’s the relationship between Master Katashi and the new Samurai Hero is since there’s usually a relationship between the Hero Skin and the Hero.
ya, and they're normally violent.
well from what we know the new hero is based off benkei from the looks of it, and since they are likely going to face off on a bridge, Katashi could be based of Minamoto no Yoshitsune
this is just a theory, if the new hero were evil it would be interesting
maybe they will show more lore in act 2 with the new kunochi hero. Also my reason this hero is female is that the hero skin is male and most new heros will be a diffrent gender of the hero skin plus there is so many ninja clues in this season that makes me feel like it will be some kind of ninja. the shadow of the new hero has weapons on her back and samurai mostly have weapons to there side. plus her shadow has horns so she is wearing a oni mask. the new finisher with the kunai is a ninja weapon and the last samurai hero was a dude so it makes sinse the next samurai would be female.
No, the hero will most definitely be male. Your theory about the 'male hero skin and female hero' is debunked by:
Bolthron and Medjay
and
Ravier and Afeera.
I'm sorry I'm pretty sure the new hero is Benkei. Benkei carried most of his weapons on his back, and was a huge dude who fought a samurai (Yoshitsune) on a bridge. I'm leaning on this being a male.
It was already established that the new hero is going to have mastery over 4 to 5 different weapons.
Which is what benkei was famous for
Also idk where you got kunoichi hero from, but unless the shogunate allowed shugoki sized women in the kunoichi, i dont think its a woman.
THE TOTALLY AWESOME - ok this video is an obvious BJ to ubisoft. Can we just get reasonable balanced look instead of ILL TAKE ANYTHING UBI GIVE ME
Tell me...what's bad about the story? You ask for a balanced take. Fair. Let's be balanced. What was bad about the story I refused to acknowledge?
