Ghost of tsushima characters2/21/2023 Jin reluctantly realizes this, and in true “dishonorable” fashion, stabs his first Mongol in the back.Īfter getting a severe PTSD episode, he finally gets himself together. Yuna pleads to Jin to, and states that challenging an entire camp would only get himself killed, and risk the Mongolians killing off hostages as retaliation. While Jin had been shying away from the true Samurai’s path ever since he was rescued by Yuna, his first drastic action into becoming the dishonorable “Ghost” was during a mission to rescue Yuna’s brother, Taka. Stances to break different enemy defenses, archery techniques for debilitation, and even journeying through extraordinary heights and hidden locations to learn long-forgotten mythic arts. These are all staples in the Samurai tradition.Īs Jin Sakai progresses his journey in driving out the mongols, he learns more Samurai techniques. His prowess with a sword and bow is still top-notch, and throughout the game his skills improve with each camp he liberates. Ghost of Tsushima’s main focus may be of Jin Sakai’s transition from an honorable Shogun servant to a maverick assassin for the people, but throughout the game he still keeps in touch with his skills as a samurai if not improves on them. In time, he realizes that to uphold his definition of honor, he has to “bend” his Samurai code. Jin ever so slowly begins to accept this reality. Additionally, he would also endanger all of the people he swore to protect as a Samurai. If he were to continue his “traditional way”, then he would only be getting himself, the last Samurai of Tsushima, killed. The Mongolians have prepared themselves to face the Samurai they know their culture, their morals, their language, their code, and will not hesitate to use it against them. However, as he spends more time with Yuna, he slowly begins to realize the reality of the situation. He often brings it up when challenged to do otherwise. He fights his enemies with honor, alerting them with visual and audio cues before drawing his sword to instigate traditional showdowns. Subsequently, he strikes a deal with Yuna: He’ll help save her brother, and in return, they help him rescue Lord Shimura.Īs he recruits his allies, he remains loyal to his code, and fights his battles as a samurai. He gets a new gust of motivations upon knowing that his uncle survived the attacked. He still feels resentful that he did not die alongside his allies on Komoda Beach. Though thankful for her aid, he is still distraught and upset. He’s nursed to health by a thief named Yuna. Through sheer will and determination, or “resolve”, he survives by the skin of his teeth. In what should’ve been a suicidal attack to take down the Khan, Jin gets blown away and shot in the back twice, rendering him unconscious. God, or Sucker Punch, however, has other plans in store for him. He’s a proud samurai, inseparable from Samurai tradition, and would proudly embrace a warrior’s death. Despite the overwhelming odds against their favor, Jin doesn’t falter when offering his life to defend their home. The game starts off with Jin Sakai, alongside 79 other samurai, on Komoda Beach, defending against a Mongol invasion of thousands of men. To Jin, as a samurai, honor means “protecting people, the ones that can’t fight for themselves.” This is a value that Jin would continue to hold close to him, even after becoming a dishonorable “Ghost”. While training him, Shimura grows attached to Jin due to his undying valor and determination. Shimura takes Jin under his stead, to which he develops a paternal love for. Comforted by the family caretaker, Yuriko, alongside the other Samurai lords, including his uncle Lord Shimura, Jin solidifies his resolve to become an honorable Samurai. To add to that, the final words he heard from his father was a plea for help. As a young teenager, he became severely traumatized having witnessed his father’s death. He was orphaned at a young age, losing his mother to illness and his father to Bandits. Jin hails from Omi village and is the son to Kazumasa Sakai, the Samurai Lord of Clan Sakai, and his wife, Lady Sakai.
