What the FUCK was his problem?

Someone post Truly Precious Bait right now

they literally spell everything out for you

did it not sell well enough for actual dlc or something?

nah, they're just busy with elden ring

Apparently this update is... to shill the release of Stadia
If you want to see it in a positive light, you can think of this update as From not abandoning Sekiro as an IP. Atleast not yet

he was was sick and (relatively) frail for years, maybe even decades, and he had to watch his chosen heir get his ass fucked by a fucking ninja, who he then gains a lot of respect for
then he succumbs to his illness, only to be resurrected at his prime AND given the ability to fight the literal who ninja
what did he have to lose? it's a win/win for him. he either bests Sekiro and can decide the fate of Ashina himself, or he loses to Sekiro, and Sekiro gets to make his own decisions

More importantly what was Ashinas tax policy?
I’m being dead serious.

Obligatory read Hanbei's manga

You hesitated.

Didn't know my bro hanbei had a comic. I will check it out.

I genuinely think Emma was working to undermine Ashina the whole game. When you see his body lying on the floor he has his sword in his hand.

Only the preview is read left to right
Once the story actually starts, it reads right to left like a traditional manga

how does the afterlife know to create slightly elderly isshin instead of baby isshin or teenage isshin?

I dont understand the time of the game.
What happened since sekiro got backstabbed in Hirata estate and the beginning of the game? Iirc it had been 3 years since then. Was he just chillin inside the well for 3 years? Surely he would have known that kuro was alive, so why didn't he try to rescue him right away? Or did he wake up 3 years later in a well? Yet the soldiers talk as if they captured him so he must have been somewhere else
Also if Genericho had taken ths rejuvinating waters, why did he care so much about the dragon blood? I suppose it eventually makes you crazy, but it's better than nothing and achieves the same thing of fighting back the ministry that's about to invade
And why does isshin not care that you're slaughtering his men left and right? Surely he would at least tell his close guards to not attack you. He's pretty adamant about the "rats" in ashina zoo you would think some guy coming in and also killing his men would piss him off.

it is implied that the resurrected person is specifically revived at the peak of their strength

It states that it brings the person back at their peak when they were alive

yeah, it's pretty dumb when you describe it like that

It's pretty clearly him in the state he was in at the end of his life

and the afterlife recreated his favorite clothes and gun of choice as if it's a save state

He hesitated.

>Was he just chillin inside the well for 3 years?
>Yet the soldiers talk as if they captured him so he must have been somewhere else
There's your answer. Wolf was alive and well for a while serving Kuro, but Genichiro wanted the blood for himself and took out Wolf.
>Also if Genericho had taken ths rejuvinating waters, why did he care so much about the dragon blood?
The rejuvenating waters will turn a person mad when they die enough times (red eyes), or they'll get a centipede down the line.
>but it's better than nothing
It's literally not better than the dragon's blood, which is right on his property.
>And why does isshin not care that you're slaughtering his men left and right?
Isshin has checked out.
>He's pretty adamant about the "rats" in ashina zoo you would think some guy coming in and also killing his men would piss him off.
You're not there to take down his rule, you just want Kuro.
t. brainlet

Ashina knee sekiro since he was a child.
It inconceivable he didn’t since Ashina and owl used to drink and sekiro was sworn to Kuro.
He didn’t earn sekiro respect because he pushed Genichiros ass in

Shit completely forgot whilst waiting for it to finish. Im on it

sekiro 2 needs moments like this
youtube.com/watch?v=qs92nyDDBdQ

Only cares about fighting. He's not a good guy in this situation, dude let his country fall to ruin and didn't bother to help Genichiro at all even though he would have listened to him

>t. brainlet
I don't think so

>Ashina knee sekiro since he was a child.
He didn't.
>Another rat
>......
>Ah, but those eyes... a starving wolf. Before I kill you, tell me your name. Tell me your name!
>......
>No name to give? You shinobi are all the same. You die nameless, with no one to mourn you. However... Your left arm. A prosthetic shinobi arm, it reminds me of... (Bursts out laughing) That's it... a one-armed Wolf. I like it! Which means... Sekiro This is what I shall name you.
>Who... are you?
>I am the Tengu of Ashina! Come, Sekiro. Care to hunt some rats with me?
>... What?
>Rats have snuck into Ashina. Scurrying about like they own the place. There are all kinds of rats out there... And they must be cut down. Every last one of them! It seems you have a talent for killing. Allow me to help you hone that talent. What'll it be, Sekiro?! Will you hunt rats with me?
>Very well.
>Excellent! You'll need this if you're with me, Sekiro.
>What is this...?
>The face of a rat, and where it makes its home. Go and kill it! If you do, I will give you something that will aid you in battle."
I'd wager given Owl's attempted coup, he never told Isshin about Wolf. Isshin never having seen Wolf while serving Kuro is more questionable, and just a simply plot hole.

>There's your answer. Wolf was alive and well for a while serving Kuro, but Genichiro wanted the blood for himself and took out Wolf.
What do you mean? How can he "take out" wolf if he cant die? Why would wolf give up on kuro, who also cant die, only to change his mind from a single random letter
And how does kuro give sekiro the dragons blood if he cant bleed?

The 3 year gap between Hirata and the beginning of the game is left ambiguous intentionally
Either they will explore what happens in that time gap in the sequel, or it will be left to the player's imagination as to what had happened
He very obviously did not spend 3 WHOLE years in that well, that would be insane
>achieves the same thing of fighting back the ministry that's about to invade
user, why do you think the Ministry had went out of their way to bring EXCESSIVE fire and Dousing Powder to Ashina?
The internal ministry was very aware of the Red Eyes of Ashina... and how they were weak to fire

if she breathes, she's a THOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

>Isshin got his ass handed to him by a manlet ninja even at peak condition
ouch

Feel free to rebut.

>How can he "take out" wolf if he cant die?
By killing him and tossing him into a hole without his sword.
>Why would wolf give up on kuro, who also cant die, only to change his mind from a single random letter
It's implied death ruins Sekiro's memories from both the Hirata Estate level, and dialogue with Emma.
>And how does kuro give sekiro the dragons blood if he cant bleed?
It's a ritual. It's why Genichiro says
>I see...for as long as you are alive, the Dragon's Blood can never be mine.

>implied death ruins Sekiro's memories
or he was drunk
