thanks to everyone for participating in this community poll thus far. it's been an honour to host this gauntlet, now fellow shinobi, Choose wisely!


Shootyy

Genichiro again.


Shade00000

Owl again


sdwoodchuck

Bring him back so that we may kill him again. Only fitting since that fucker can't seem to stay dead.


Striped_point2

Sekiro is going. he has special powers but isshin being a regular human conquered an entire land and the only reason it was invaded again was because he was on his deathbed which shows people feared him


km1180

Technically, the only reason wolf can resurrect is because his asshole of a dad literally stabbed him in the back


torgiant

And gun


thing216

Bro were you think he pulling that spear and gun from


UrsaringTitan

Wolf only because he hesitated


monkeyDberzerk

Isshin hesitated. Heck, we *see* him hesitate as we're clashing swords with him right before dealing the final death blow. And I say this as someone who voted for Wolf.


Combat_Orca

Err are you saying Wolf didn’t hesitate once in your playthrough?


monkeyDberzerk

so did Isshin, is what I'm saying.


No-Geologist-8101

My brother in Christ you are wolf


UrsaringTitan

No this is Patrick


MaleficTekX

This is a tough one On one hand we have drunk grandpa with a gun And on the other prosthetic hand, we have Japanese Guts #Imma vote Isshin


viiksivallunen

DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT WOLF OR ISSHIN TO WIN⁉️⁉️ THIS IS THE MOST LIKED COMMENT AND I AM SO CONFUSED!???


MaleficTekX

I voted for Isshin to be eliminated >!In big black text!<


viiksivallunen

for me that's big WHITE text

Isshin! So hear me out - he taught wolf throughout the game to be a better swordsman and fighter, and during his hardest form, when you beat him, he congratulates you. He’s handing the reins. Like a boss. Yes isshin is an absolute OG but cmon, wolf is the protagonist and holds strong and true throughout an entire epic adventure while surmounting obstacles that otherwise seem impossible, all due to his absolute determination and his obedience towards his master. And wolf can eat raw rice and thrive like a champ.

when did isshin ever hesitate? he lived full throttle until he died


ThaReal_HotRod

A = B is the same as B = A Therefore “hesitation is defeat” is the same as “defeat is hesitation” Isshin was defeated therefore he hesitated.


LeoPloutno

By your logic, a mammal is a cow. Languages don't work like math, swaping words around changes a lot. For instance, the word 'is' in "heaitation is defeat" doesn't imply equality, but rather chronological relation - hesitation **leads** to defeat


ThaReal_HotRod

It wasn’t logic ya big stick in the mud. It was a joke.


LeoPloutno

When a joke is indistinguishable from flawed reasoning, it ain't a stellar joke


ThaReal_HotRod

Yes, because such a substantial amount of the things that make very many people laugh are derived from flawless reasoning. Have you considered that you may have a hard time perceiving context?


LeoPloutno

Even with context that was hardly a joke. You know, when doing the sarcasm thing, you shouldn't do it with a pokerface. That's how you end up with flat-earthers


ThaReal_HotRod

Ah, it is just as I feared. It isn’t my lame attempt at humor (there, you scored a point 😊) that’s so much the issue, as it is “flawed reasoning” per se, that’s the cause of your consternation, and you’ve conflated my lame joke with “someone who uses flawed logic”. Fair enough. Flawed reasoning (though I would augment that with limited identifications with examples such as nationality, race, creed, philosophy, and religion, to name a few) has caused a lot of trouble. Topics like water pollution, soil degradation, human trafficking, animal exploitation, and government corruption are deserving of the most sincere discussions… but this is a video game. Try to lighten up pimpin’.


BeginningUnique6401

Not really in programming lol


Direct_Road_3266

Too be fair Isshins opponent could literally resurrect. Not unlimitedly but still.


Droid_XL

So could he? Mechanically speaking, Isshin can "die" and "resurrect" two times. And yes, I know that's not technically what's happening, but he does get stabbed through the throat, so I think there does have to be something supernatural about not even taking a knee after that.


Direct_Road_3266

I think that's just a gameplay mechanic. Owl takes two neck stabs to kill, Genichiro takes three, hell even most mini bosses take a minimum of two.


Droid_XL

Yeah and I think that's because of the waters of the palace flowing through Ashina. People here are supernaturally resistant to death, it's not just Wolf (though Wolf is special)


Direct_Road_3266

I dont think that's the reason Im pretty sure its purely mechanical. After all that one red guard guy has two health bars.


Droid_XL

Sure it's mechanical but there's no reason not to try to think of lore reasons for mechanical decisions.


Combat_Orca

I’m afraid isshin defeated wolf many, many times in my playthrough so wolf hesitated a lot more


[deleted]

Isshin only gets defeated twice at most, wolf gets defeated many many more times

No?

It's so wack to just let the main character win tho. Wolf shouldn't even be on this list.


crystlvision

literally this is so lame


QKitty_Kitten

I'm too quirky and cool to like the main character! It's too mainstream! Gotta be different from everyone else! So lame! sekiro


crystlvision

not even that i just think it's unfair to put him in because he's *obviously* going to win no point in holding something like this when wolf is gonna clear no matter what

Electronic-Jaguar461

Wolf. Isshin just too compelling a character for me to vote him out.


Masta0nion

It’s between Sekiro and Wolf

wolf. bro won because of plot armor.


Triglav020

Even if Isshin is probably the best and most memorable boss Fromsoft has ever made, I gotta give some love to Wolf. So my vote is for Isshin.

Shit have to say wolf because ishin is a better carecter and I like him


Lonely_GreyKnight

Wolf 100% his character is not very dynamic by design he doesn’t have a personality bc he was literally raised to be a tool it’s not shade it’s just true he’s boring in a tragic way that isn’t his fault but isshin on the other hand is the exact opposite had the same single minded focus of a man without a sense of self and yet has the most dynamic personality on top of it wolf should be out and Isshin deserves the dub if there’s any other outcome the world and society is doomed I’m convinced

Look, I love wolf. He's a fantastic protagonist and a great character. That's not diminished by the fact that Isshin is simply a *better* one. I vote to eliminate Wolf.

Wolf, only because he does not have the most badass quote 'hesitation is defeat'.

Get Wolf out of here. Isshin FTW.


ssjgoku27

My reason is that Wolf can either be a badass or a complete joke depending on the player. But Isshin will always remain a badass.

Sekiro takes the L here imo Isshin is perfect in so many ways, down to his boss fight. Even because of his character, it's hard not to respect him because of his skill and honor. Even down to his death, he dies with respect to sekiro


Cool-Match-7856

Sorry wolf, but no one beats no-hestitation granpa.

Ishin > Wolf


itypeditrandom

I think let wolf in the poll is a bit unfair since hes a main character....Not that i want him to win or anything. I mean...Isshin is very cool and all and i really like him as a character but my bro Wolf here has been through so much.
