In killing Lord Shimura, Sakai ends his relationship with his father figure on a bittersweet note. In these intimate last moments between the two characters, Jin makes one honorable decision for his Uncle before fully becoming the Ghost. For one last time, Shimura pleads to Jin to finally listen to him, to make at least one honorable decision. The Mongol threat is done with, and this confrontation between the two of them is nothing but personal.īecause of this, the choice to kill his Uncle is the one that makes the most sense for their relationship. Sure, it’s for the greater good of saving Tsushima, as well as there being no honor in war, but this last duel between the two of them has no such stakes involved. For nearly the entirety of the game, Jin disobeys and dishonors his Uncle at every turn. For one, the choice to have Jin kill his Uncle is a necessary one to bring their relationship to its natural conclusion. While obviously open to interpretation, there’s a myriad of reasons as to why the “honorable” path is the right ending for Ghost of Tsushima.
When Shimura has to choose between family and his honor, he’s forced to hunt his surrogate son for the “crimes” he committed to save Tsushima. His unorthodox methods put him at odds with his uncle, Lord Shimura ( Eric Steinberg), who has basically been a father to him his entire life. The once regal Jin Sakai becomes a wanted man, as all of his actions as the Ghost have challenged any notions of feudal Japan leadership and hierarchy. In doing so, Jin saves the island but loses any connections to it he used to have. Jin eventually finds himself abandoning his code and taking on the way of the Ghost as he sacrifices everything to save the island of Tsushima. The once honorable Samurai finds himself on the edge of his morals and code as he fends off the Mongol invasion.
Developed by Sucker Punch Studios, the game is filled with fantastic writing and a truly engaging story as players control Jin Sakai ( Daisuke Tsuji). Ghost of Tsushima, the hit PlayStation Exclusive that debuted for the console in August of 2020, has been re-released for PS5 in the form of a “Director’s Cut”, sporting a wide array of technical upgrades and additional story content for players to discover.
