      I dunno. According to one of the notes from the monk who followed him, Khotun was so furious after Shimura's escape that poor dude was worrying about his life. Only later he calmed down and admitted that this changes nothing, since Shimura's honor and samurai code would dictate him to fight like a moron.

    Kothun Khan was a very badass antagonist, had a brilliant characterization, he stole every scene he was in and you can see how much of a treat he is across the game, doing everything posible to secure the conquest of the island by any brutal mean imaginable, like the real mongols of the time.
    Maybe he failed in conquering Japan in the end, but still managed to effortlessly ruin the lives of everyone in Tsushima, including the vengeful ghost one that he unconsciously created.

What made other mongol conquest’s successful was the fact that they were able to divide and conquer their foes by creating the divisions that their enemies had and literally help growth does divisions to the point of actual civil wars erupting within the enemies nations.

      Mercy, alliances, and negotiations can be just as useful in conquest as combat and tactics.

    Khotun Khan's greatest blunder, and the one that cost him his life, was looking down on the Japanese. If he had properly earned Tomoe and Ryuzo's trust and not their fear by treating them well, he would have had an easier time with the war. This also manifested with the way he dealt with Lord Shimura, or rather how he didn't. Khotun knew Shimura was honour-bound to never surrender, and should have executed him the first chance he got. A lack of thoroughness in the aftermath of Komoda beach also allowed Jin to survive and we know exactly how that turned out, the lack of diligence was probably caused by his knowledge that Samurai are too honorable to play dead but he failed to consider that someone may have been left on the near side of death's door and survived, even barely.

    They kept going for Icons, breaking people, attacking temples, destroying Fox dens, killing them, spoiling graves, it still didn't work properly, we see other people besides Jin, breaking through his tactic, doing their most to supply hope even when they fall.

      I don’t know about Shimura as his prize was the mainland, so having him at his side would be excellent for the conquest of it. However, by the time he captured Jin, it would’ve made sense to kill him as jin was an insurgent who held nothing for capturing the mainland and was only a problem. I think it was also evident that Jin would never turn on his people so having Jin escape from a mere hand ties was a bit of an issue from me instead of being in like a max guarded prison considering how dangerous he was.

If the ghosts were to endorse the Mongol leader either everybody would give up or just submit. If his plan were to work it would have cleared up what little job he had left to do on the island before sailing to the mainland but it failed as a Gamble and I'm sure he knew the risk.

      Not much of a choice, he aimed at conquering all of Japan and needed a Japanese Army to do it.

If he killed everything he wouldn't be able to win, Jin was just a wild card and unexpected problem

    • @white0thunderwhite0thunder71

      That would've just created martyrs to inspire more people to stand against him. Khotun knew that they would've been more useful to him as pawns to quell the populace into submission, but no he NEVER used diplomacy when dealing with Jin and Shimura. He always made conversation with them as the dominator, the man who gives and takes at his pleasure. This automatically creates a hostile negotiation position that seeds distrust and defiance from the get-go which in turn makes negotiations with prideful people impossible. Had the Khan showed he can be reasoned with and merciful then perhaps things could've gone in a different direction.

    This game aligns with the book art of war by Sun tzu. Which argues in order to win a war was to Subdue your enemy without fighting in such that you have to gain them into your side. That’s why I think Khoton learned his enemies’ tradition etc. at the end he said “u kill me now and another will come” which mean jin won the battle but not the war since mongol or samurai hasn’t joined any side or philosophy. It wasn’t how big the army , kill count but how u can convince your enemy to join u

    One aspect of Khotun Khan that is interesting is his apparent open frankness behind closed doors, particularly his conversations with the monk Daizo.

    So basically had the Khan actually treated them as human, even if enemies or an obstacle for conquest but as people and not doing shit like sparing Taka, he wouldve had more leverage and maybe genuine allies of Tsushima.
    Ryuzo and the Ronin Samurai were his best chance. They were the result of "dishonor" among the samurai who needed to find a means to make a living when no one else would help them. But things like "earn it" by making him burn his own people etc just made him and the Mongols at the end of the day.......their oppressors.

In Japanese culture they believed that power came from the blood and family name, in mongol culture it was the opposite, with many commoner rising through the ranks because the Mongol culture valued personal ability over blood.
      For Khotun khan to be challenged to a duel by a small lord who was only lord because he was born into the clan, while Khotun Khan had to claw his way to the top through personal ability, to be well, insulting.
      And yes Khotun Khan was born into the Genghis lineage, but that doesn't mean that he automatically was some super important person who got all the privileges. No, he led a life of constant warfare to prove himself worthy to be a Khan.
      Lord Adachi was absolutely spitting in his face when he challenged him to a duel.

    Now with AC Shadows announced and all its controversy and its inevitable comparison with Tsushima, I will write down my thoughts on how GoT could have been an AC game.
    So, the story is the same, but Yuna, is an assassin (by GoT timeline, they are already called assassins, not Hidden Ones), and it would introduce a new character, Yuna's master. Yuna's master is chinese, and came to Tsushima because he learned of Khan's plan to take the island. His attempts to warn off Yarikawa failed because of his dishonorable ways. So he focused on recruiting non-samurais to the cause. Yuna was his first apprentice (lets say there are a few more assassins, but they are all non-samurai, possible farmers or thieves that have been recruited and trained).
    When Yuna rescues Jin, she sees the potential of recruiting him. Having a samurai become an assassin would be a great asset for the brotherhood's cause. A samurai, with thgeir skillset, learning the ways and skills of the assassins? That's a horrible combination. So the story goes around the same, Yuna recruits Jin, Yuna and her master train Jin, but her master is then killed during one mission where he sacrificed himself to save both Yuna and Jin. He did it because he knew with Jin recruited, the odds would be on tsushima's and the brotherhood's favor. SO the story continues on as normal. Jin meets up with everyone he does in the story, just with the twist that he is an assassin now. And thus, has a new toy, the hidden blade (he doesn't need to cut his finger since Altair already resolved that).
    Ofc, The Khan is a templar, Jin becomes a master assassins at the end, and the choice to kill or spare Jin's uncle is left to the player. He becomes the Ghost of Tsushima, but instead of the head bandana, its a hood lol

He divides and conquers, he knows what to say to everyone, threatens the weak, entices the strong, rewards submissions, and punishes resistance. Had Khotun killed Jin when he was captured, the Khan would have won, since the Ghost was not what he learned about Japan. He should have been more brutal then.

    Alright, so Jin is probably a conduit. For anyone unaware, conduit is a term from the inFamaus franchise by sucker punch that describes a person with supernatural abilities. Those games actually describe that conduits show signs b4 ever getting powers, like surviving severe injuries. Also their powers can activate without ray-field technology, it just takes extreme focus, and some kind of ouside stimuli. Jin survives 2 near death experiences, then somehow the wind guides him, the animals aid him, the island hot springs heal him and give him strength, and he literally learns advanced techniques mid-battle and ends the duel using them perfectly. Not to mention the charms that allow lightning strikes to aid him, or hornets to protect him as he recovers. Jin is a conduit, and the island and its creatures give him strength.

    Because the people opposed his forces, as they could kill civilians with impunity, take their crops, disarm them, rape their women, and basically deny them any rights whatsoever.

    Khotun’s Downfall was primarily because of Jin. Lets get that out of the way, The Ghost is praised for saving Tsushima for a good reason, and its not because that without Lord Sakai’s personal sacrifice, Lord Shimura would have been better off.

  • @Whitelisted_Productions
    @Whitelisted_Productions Месяц назад

    Why is the contrast so high?

  • @vandeheyeric
    @vandeheyeric Месяц назад

    Khotun Khan was tactically gifted and shrewd, but he was too busy on focusing for his next war rather than how to win the one he was on right then. He was so obsessed with planning to overthrow Kubiai that he forgot that in this war, Kublai was his ally and master, and he had more immediate problems to worry about. His obsession with trying to recruit Shimura and/or Jin doomed him in a way the historic Mongols that all but depopulated Tsushima were not. One thing I not: Khotun is described as the conqueror of Korea, which I think adds some interesting flavor. The Yuan were able to beat the Koreans into agreeing to basically become “Allies”/Vassals/Puppets with a Mongol Queen essentially ruling over Korea and Korean sailors and soldiers fighting alongside Chinese conscripts and the Mongols themselves in the invasions of Japan. Perhaps Khotun hoped to force Japan into a similar position to Korea for his ultimate showdown with his cousin.
    But ultimately Khotun’s biggest problems beyond Japanese plot armor was that he spent too much time faffing about and not enough time getting down to it, as well as Colossally misjudging Jin and Shimura in spite of supposedly having a masterful grasp on Japanese culture and politics. Shimura was a liability waiting to happen even if he had agreed and the Khan should have known this, unless he wanted an “ally” who would endlessly complain about every unchivalrous or dishonorable thing the Yuan did. Which would be a lot. As soon as Shimura refused on the beach the Kahn should have taken his head. Ditto with Jin (rather than trying to make Taka take it).

  • @blackice7050
    @blackice7050 19 дней назад

    Besides Kothun Khan underestimating of his enemies
    His soliders were raiding villages , robbing and killing people
    Kothun Khan didn't understand his enemy well enough , why even keep Lord Shimura as a prisoner if all the samurai warriors were wiped out on Komoda's beach?
    The Khan could have gotten both Shimura's castle and Yarikawa's support just by having Shimura as his prisoner
    If Khan killed Shimura then he would have won the approval of the people in Yarikawa and destroyed the legend of a Samurai besides Jin of course
    Khan didn't learn from his mistakes when he captured Jin
    If he killed Jin right there , he would have destroyed Tsushima's hope
    If Shimura and the Shoguns knew of this , they would charge blindly at Shimura's camp and Khan could have killed them all with his traps

    Why did he fail? Because he made the very understandable mistake of not taking into consideration that there was a fucking Japanese super solider on the island protecting its inhabitance named Jin Sakai. Khotun was intelligent enough to capture his uncle, the other super soilder, but shimura was clever enough to keep yapping about honor instead of telling him how he gave Jin Batman levels of combat training.

    Ngl when you say it out loud the khan sounds kinda stupid. His plan hinges on every Samurai fighting the same way. The instant they start using unconventional tactics, he gets mollywhomped and not just by Jin, but by Ryuzo too. Sure Jin is definitely extraordinary, but the fact Ryuzo can put up a decent fight with his band of ronin goes to show how utterly inept the Khan is when his plan goes awry.
