    LYRICS:
    When Honor Dies Gavin Dunne 2019
    Proud and ancient land
    Noble souls, a final stand
    Blood on fallen leaves
    Left alone and lost
    Darkest lines that I must cross
    Lords unite with thieves
    Fear in the blade
    The spirits of the fallen fade
    Soil and degrade
    My legacy and name
    Bending the code
    Defile the duty long bestowed
    Burdened by the shame
    When honor dies
    There will be no pride in victory
    When honor dies
    I will be denied my history
    I give my everything
    Return the reckoning
    Glare of the ghost fills my eyes
    When honor dies
    Balance for the mind
    Blossoms paint the paths and shrines
    Nature's poetry
    Strike from the shade
    Tradition of the kin betrayed
    Soil and degrade
    My lineage and claim
    Exile and pain
    A poison in the dying vein
    Burdened by the shame
    When honor dies
    There will be no pride in victory
    When honor dies
    I will be denied my history
    I give my everything
    Return the reckoning
    Glare of the ghost fills my eyes
    When honor dies
    Ghost of the fallen
    The wind is ever guiding
    Vengeance is calling
    A specter in the night
    Ghost of the fallen
    Golden wings are gliding
    Feeding the soil
    So the world can return to life
    My soul still cries
    When honor dies
    There will be no pride in victory
    When honor dies
    I will be denied my history
    I give my everything
    Return the reckoning
    Glare of the ghost fills my eyes
    When honor dies

    Honor truly does die in this game, at the start you have your samurai tactics and you fight with honor but eventually......Honor starts too fade away, you kill more and more from the shadows, you realize how much easier it is this way, why fight with a blade? When you have kunai and bombs? Arrows and poison? You then realize, honor has indeed died. Brutes will fight themselves and then choke on the bits of there own organs and blood. Flesh will burn, bombs will blow away the rest, any left will be fallen by arrows. You are a Ghost, not a Samurai, and a Ghost has no need for a katana. They will never see you, but they will know you are there. Killed by the Ghost, no longer a *man* but a *monster.*

      @@seanwallcroft6272 I disagree, it shows the power he derives from abandoning the honor code of the samurai. His uncle would undoubtedly have killed him, because that is what he is compelled to do by his code, but Jin has freed himself from those bindings, Jin is free to spare a man that is compelled to kill him. In the theme of the game honour compels loss and dishonour prevents it. Jin becomes stronger because he refuses to adhere to the code, a code that commands him to kill a man he cares deeply about, it is the dishonourable act that preserves the life of a man that adheres to honour. A delightful contrast and a fitting end to the story of Jin.

      shinyelf it’s a great take on it. However, I still feel like the other ending shows that Jin still respects the code despite breaking it for the greater good of Tsushima by honoring Shimura with a proper death. Letting him live would be a hard hit for Shimura’s credibility as the Jito and a samurai since he failed to grant the Shogun’s will (which would probably result in his death anyway). I believe giving him an honorable death is showing respect and sympathy to him in the end

    Sakai Jin had obtained the greatest kind of honor( at least in Vietnamese tradition).

      Which is what made the ending all the more depressing. He won the war and saved his people, but now he'll be hunted for the rest of his life, and as far as we know the only one who stuck with him is Yuna and maybe Norio. Sensei can't help him since he's technically still samurai. Lady Masako might, but we're not sure what happened to her after the war was over, and while I do think Norio would help Jin when and where he could, it would have to be done in secret if he doesn't want trouble to come to Ceder Temple

      @@connorhilchie2779 Yuna, I'd be willing to bet, helps him. Not a chance she doesn't. Norio is probably undergoing some form of penance for his rage. Lady Makaso isn't a conventional samurai, so she might argue for forgiveness. Kenji probably also helps Jin, not to mention *every single peasant on the island.* The samurai, as if they didn't already have problems trying to find the Ghost, have to deal with a population that does not want the Ghost to be found.

      Coughs in western honor.
      To call the mongol's barbarians is to do a disservice to a proud warrior race.
      Also have you read Western history.
      Honor kinda was a thing.
      And there were people that discarded there honor to fight for the greater good.
      There is no honor in assassination, poisoning, or biological warfare.

      I agree but the emperor probably wouldn't have seen, nor heard it that way. Reports of a monster of a man wiping out his enemies through poison and biological warfare, going against the Samurai code, etc. would enrage the emperor.

      @@riceoawsozm96 A difference is that the wolf was never a samurai, he was never constrained by the code and never had to suffer under the expectations of honour. While one of the central lines is "hesitation is defeat" that only goes to the two bonds wolf has, his master and his father, never a generalized honour. Jin on the other hand still holds himself to a code "for my home" or perhaps "for my people". Hence the theme of the fight is central, Jin could never fight his best if it was not in the name of Tsushima and the people thereof, whereas the Wolf will fight tooth and nail to preserve himself, if only to keep serving and protecting his master.
      Merely the nomenclatures tell us something, the Ghost and the Wolf. A spectre of vengeance and a wild animal. The ghost haunts the living, inflicting vengeance upon the wicked, whereas the wolf fights for two things, the pack and survival. That is why Jin would lose, even when he is the ghost he is still bound by a code, the wolf is never restricted.
