If Kazumasa was still alive during the Mongol Invasion. I believe he would publicly condemn the Ghost to maintain his image but would secretly provide funds to his son’s mission
Oh absolutely
Kasumasa was already half of the ghost
He was brutal, cruel and unfair but still faced the opponents headon
That would be the only difference between them
I wonder if jin was able to become the ghost because they are both relatives of close blood
Pple do tend to be very similar to those closest related
And has saw Kazumasa actions on iki
@@blu3d3vil97 Jin became the ghost out of necessity, to do whatever it takes to drive out the invaders, not because he enjoys it. Compassion is what sets him apart from his ruthless father who sees people as tools to wield to establish his superiority. He calls the opposing force "rats" is dehumanizing ppl defending their homes while Jin even as a teen objects and questions this level of violence because he sees people instead of animals like his father. He does not revel in the events there, hates it even, but is complied to follow his father. Prove to him he is a worthy son etc. What sets him apart from his father is the inherent level of empathy, to see people as people no matter their class, which is why he as the ghost has the support of the general population, as he is and is perceived by them to fight for them, not against them.
The whole point of the dlc is basically for Jin to face his past and to let go of his survivor guilt, yes, but also to show that underneath the warrior is a kind man who cares deeply about his home, nature (he is basically a feudal disney prince playing the flute in the forest for the animals lol) its people and how to improve their lives instead to destroy it as his father did. Like, there are several instances where Jin says and affirms that he is not like his father, and it shows in how he treats those, outside of his enemies, with compassion instead disdain. He makes different choices than his father did, and thus stops the cycle of hate and death started in the past instead to repeat it. (choosing not to kill you know who... spoilers spoilers xD)
KM has failed Jin as a father, was never present in the way Jin needed him to be. KM even called him too soft to be a samurai when this "softness" is actually Jin's biggest strength and what sets him greatly apart from KM and why Jin is able to reconcile with the raiders despite their brutal history with his father/samurai. That and his strong sense of justice, to right the wrong no matter what.
Sry for textwalling you but i I really like the dichotomy of Jin's kindness & deep care for others with him slashing off the heads off his enemies and hunt them down to the last men as the ghost of their nightmares, haha.
Perfect
Wonder that also if his father supported his son during that invasion ether secretly helping him or something.
Kazumasa is more what a historical samurai was compared to the hyper honor bound and fantasy like Shimura
My guess shimura prefer a more honest method of fighting and also helps preserve reputation as being too brutal can start revolutions
Considering that in the story of ghosts of tsushima that the wind that guides you is implied to be Jins fathers spirit. I'd say he agrees with The ghost.
I thought the same. Someone else pointed out that in ghost stance the wind still directs you to the nearest enemy. I think Kazumasa would be on board with the ghost if he saw what Jin had seen.
Nah kazumaza will probably support the ghost if you do the yuriko side missions she says that there's always bin a rift between kazumasa and shimura cause how honor bound shimura and rigid he is while kazumasa is more "creative"
The strength we need is all around us
Always felt that shimura had some sort of tension with kazumaza, especially how (in my eyes) he was trying to steal Jin away from him by wanting to adopt him and follow HIS code
@@Wolf-bz6kq to be fair Kazumasa had 0 idea how to deal with jin after his wife's death if i were an uncle who saw that type of relationship with my best bro child i would not feel too happy about that too xD
@@throttlestraw yea it's one thing to foster Jin but to give him the shimura name and essentially surrendering the Sakai clan to extinction says enough. Like shimura was saying " I took your son and made him call ME father and the Sakai clan ends with you" to kazumaza
@@Wolf-bz6kq nah they had disagreements but those two were practically brothers when shimura called upon kazumasa he answered
In my Opinion, I support Kazumasa Sakai and his brutal tactics after all it made his enemies afraid of him. His son Jin Sakai did the same with the mongols and became the Ghost of Tsushima due to his brutal tactics and for being dishonorable, very similar to his father Kazumasa Sakai who became the butcher of Iki Island due to his brutal tactics and for being dishonorable but both The Butcher of Iki (Father) and Ghost of Tsushima (Son) became legends.
I'm so hype for Ghost of Tsushima 2 PS5, CHEERS 💙
I was ok with Kazumasa, until he went after the civilians. He had no reason to butcher the village
@@ntfoperative9432 There were raiders hiding amongst the civilians, not saying that butchering all of them was the right choice but you can put just as much blame on the raiders for using their own civilians as a sort of cover or meat shield from the samurai rather than fighting to the death, then again honor is not what raiders strive for so it makes sense for them to use such tactics instead of fighting bravely especially when facing certain death like the samurai did with the mongols
are you implying that jin killed civilians
I do not hope for it .... They will woke a fly it transgender black Muslim samiui do you wAnt that
@@ntfoperative9432 Raider's were posing as civilians. There is pretty much no way to identify before you stabbed in the back. Unlike Jin who was fighting Mongols that you know, don't hide among people.
The Raider's could be anyone. Even young kids can be groomed into murdering and you will never know. So he did what he had to
What Jin originally thought his dad was: a great man that was sadly cut down by his son’s cowardice.
What his dad actually was: The prototype ghost.
Jin is a mix of both Shimura and Kazumasa, he's got his father's tactics and some of his ways, but he upholds innocent lives.
“May your death benefit all beings”
as someone who sunk 400 hours into got in the first 9 months i got it i love that it got the same staying power with you as well to make these videos, love the varied content❤️
Kazumasa was basically to Iki what the Ghost was to the Mongols
I can see how Shimura would be against using fear as a weapon, given that it's what got Kazumasa killed. But he got so lost in his fantasy of honor and discipline that he wouldn't adapt to a new threat because "it is not honorable."
Jin truly took the best parts of both Kazumasa and Shimura and made his own "code of honor" from them.
Also to make note of the different teaching styles between lord shimura and jins father;
Jins father gave alot of hands on approach, was very indirect in teaching, expecting his son to see and then do as is shown...hoping the experience will rub off on him to make him a fighter, with a "learn as you go" approach... treating his jin more as a soldier first and a son second
Lord shimmura, over all, was very direct in teaching jin, showing him whats right and wrong....even when wounded by the assassin, he didnt miss the opportunity to lecture him about the "proper way" to do things...lord shimmura treated jin as someone who needed to learn, step by step...from training at the mansion, to hunting an animal....shimmura treated jin as "a son" first, and later as a soldier...
I mean it makes some sense to want to bring a criminal haven to heel.
The whole of Tsushima was criminal haven before the samurai came in
A traitor. Kazumasa had no room in his heart for growth. Everything different was monstrous, and needed to be put to the sword.
There are many ways you can wield a dagger. Some are mundane, some are vicious, some are inspired.
All Kazumasa cared about, consisted of two points:
1 - Owning up to the task he was charged with.
2 - The eradication of these lower beings, whom were just normal farmers and villagefolk.
He was killing raiders. Who were posing as peasants.
Normal farmer those were raiders whom it seems the people shelter
Kazumasa- *Real samurai shit*
Lord shimura- *honor porn*
I just got to icki island and ngl its like rdr2 guarma but done better
i think it’s a great expansion because it doesn’t feel forced, it goes into the story jins father and how that impacted him which is a secondary story to the main one and also gives us and jin more closure
@@arthurmorganhimself yeah it doesn't feel unnecessary cuz im not gonna lie i though that guarma wasnt important at all (unless you count on how it made arthur more likely to think for himself and see beyond dutches lies and worsened his tb aswell)
@@goldendragon8929 100% like chapter 5 in rdr coulda replaced guarma with any other event that impacted arthur to accelerate his tb whereas iki island gives jin and us the full story and relationship of his father and his death and why he blames it on himself, like it gives us more lore about him while naturally intertwining it with the poison arc so it’s not shoved in your face, love it personally
It’s better because it’s optional, it’s something u can save until the end game when the actual main threat of the story is dead, so instead of feeling like a giant distraction from the main conflict it’s an actual expansion that extends the story in an effective way. Not saying Guarma wasn’t effective in its own way because it shows the “bad” gang members descent and Arthur’s own character development where he changes for the better, but everything about it feels like a huge waste of time while the rest of the gang is helplessly wandering the swamps not knowing of you or the others will ever come back or not
@@josephstalin2606 100% agree. on my first play through i stumbled into iki island halfway through the game and on my second i did it at the end, both didn’t feel out of place or of bad timing as you can also interpret jins struggle to cope with his fathers death and him healing from it as a moment to motivate a refreshed jin (speaking about doing iki halfway through the game)
the end also doesn’t feel out of place as it can be interpreted as jins final battle within the game, and that he can finally move on with his life as the ghost with nothing weighing down. Great dlc overall and a great point from you
Why didn’t Ikki kill Jin
First
Second
