<a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/ghost-of-tsushima/">Ghost of Tsushima </a> captured many hearts with its wonderful graphics, awesome fighting sequences, and engaging storyline. However, it isn't just the gameplay that fans love, but the messages that the game delivers through its characters. The game has some powerful quotes, which can leave players in tears, whether from laughing or crying. In the PlayStation exclusive, players take on the role of a Samurai named Jin Sakai as he searches for his family while trying to protect Tsushima Island during the first Mongol Invasion of Japan.

[Warning: Spoilers for Ghost of Tsushima.]

The game doesn't just look good, but also has some of the most memorable quotes from any game. Ghost of Tsushima draws heavy influence from the culture and traditions of the Samurai. The story leads players through the invasion and the reasoning behind it, leaving some unforgettable quotes in its wake. While some of these quotes are funny, many of them gave fans and players chills as they heard them. Ghost of Tsushima 's growing fanbase continues to praise the open-world action RPG for its striking visuals and fun gameplay, while also repeating and discussing memorable quotes from the game.

17  "To Master Your Blade, You Must First Control Your Emotions"

The very beginning of Ghost of Tsushima delivers a memorable line. It's heard as part of a flashback Jin has to a training fight with his uncle and guardian, Lord Shimura, as seen in this video recorded by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngQSoAewOKg">xGarbett </a>on YouTube. In it, a young Jin is seen practicing his sword skills before he's interrupted by his uncle. Upon seeing a bruise on Jin's face, Lord Shimura offers to teach Jin how to fight without letting emotions get in the way.

This brief scene serves as both a tutorial for new players and an introduction to two of the most important characters in the game. The player will follow Jin on his journey, and this memory helps to explain his personality and what drives him. Lord Shimura is also introduced here as a serious but caring guardian for his young charge . The entire memory is also shown in a beautiful setting with bright light and vibrant colors, in stark contrast to the darkness and desaturated hues in some of the game's other set pieces.

16  "My Horse Died So I Fed It To My Brothers."

Khotun Khan is one of the hardest bosses in the game, and his difficulty matches his ruthlessness. He's the General of the Mongol Empire, grandson of the notorious Genghis Khan and follower in his footsteps. Khan is behind the invasion of Tsushima Island, and a central antagonist of Jin's story.

Khotun Khan is a <a href="https://screenrant.com/ghost-tsushima-real-life-characters-sakai-clan-japan/">fictional character in Ghost of Tsushima </a>, even if it's conceivable that one of Genghis Khan's many descendants could've been named Khotun.

This chilling line shows just how heartless and ruthless Khotun Khan really is. Hearing it might send a chill down the player's spine as they realize that the man will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

15  “Careful Temuge, You Can’t Get Khotun’s Reward If You’re Dead.”

This line is delivered in such a calm and collected manner that its delivery is more funny than impactful. It can be heard during Jin's battle against General Temuge, shared by <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/TQx319hP6-Q?si=MWxxC4XJfM45uClp">DPG Gamers Unite </a>in a YouTube Short. The General exclaims that Khotun will reward him handsomely for delivering the head of the Ghost of Tsushima, to which Jin responds that he can only claim this reward if he's alive to do so. Delivering this deadpan remark offers a comedic moment for players to take a breather against the perpetual grimness of the game.

14  "Only A Child Expects Perfection Of His Elders."

Sensei Sadanobu Ishikawa Tells It Like It Is

Sensei Ishikawa is a complex character who's more interesting than he first seems. Although his backstory may not be as tragic as the tear-jerking pasts of other companions, his personality was clearly forged through his upbringing and principles.

There's One Ghost Of Tsushima Ending That Makes Perfect Sense For A Sequel

Ghost of Tsushima's heartbreaking conclusion had multiple endings, but developer Sucker Punch will likely have to choose one to be canonical.

He can be abrasive towards Jin, often using the "tough love" approach to correct what he thinks are mistakes. His line about a child expecting perfection, shared on YouTube by <a href="http://youtube.com/shorts/wCj3off3yrI?si=FBhBD7tb_V79A8JR">Rogua8gaminG </a>, is emblematic of the overarching divide between traditional Samurai and warriors like Jin in the game.

Ghost of Tsushima's NPCs are often fleeting within the story, but this NPC one-off is as memorable as it is meme-able. It's said in passing by a side character who gets annoyed by another scheme from Kenji. The reckless Kenji often messes up in comical ways, so it's not shocking to hear a fellow peasant berate him about his unsuccessful swindling of the Mongols. Kenji acts as a contrast to Jin's serious nature, and his harebrained plans bring some much-needed laughter into the game.

12  "The Path Ahead May Take A Lifetime. But I Will Walk It With You. Always."

As Jin approaches Castle Shimura, where he grew up, players are given a glimpse of a memory from Jin's childhood. In it, Lord Shimura confronts a conflicted Jin. When young Jin voices his concerns that Lord Shimura will dispose of him as soon as he has a son of his own, the Lord delivers this powerful quote.

The quote makes what's to come even more difficult to face . Lord Shimura was a caring surrogate father for Jin, and deeply cared for the young warrior. It's a poignant moment of their relationship before it was irrevocably broken.

11  "I Will Make Sure You Are Remembered, As A Great Warrior... A Wise Leader... And A Father."

One of the hardest things Jin has to do comes towards the <a href="https://screenrant.com/ghost-tsushima-ending-duel-lord-shimura-kill-live/">end of Ghost of Tsushima </a>, at which point the player is given a choice of two options, shared on YouTube by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw4CA7nhFTg">xLetalis </a>– the player can choose to spare Lord Shimura or kill him . Although this is a difficult decision, it can also be seen as a sort of mercy, granting Shimura the warrior's death he desired.

If the player chooses to kill Lord Shimura, they're met by this poignant line. In response, Lord Shimura thanks Jin for everything he has done, and Jin ends the life of his beloved uncle, who took him in and raised him as his own. It's a heartfelt moment and the line shows that even though he must do this difficult task, he does so with respect and love.

10  "Not Everyone Can Be A Samurai." "But We're All Killers."

Jin Sakai & Sensei Sadanobu Ishikawa Get Real

Samurai, by definition, were killers. But their code of conduct and honor was incredibly important and governed the way they acted. Sensei Ishikawa's line about being a Samurai furthers a theme that runs through the entire game: the difference between an honorable Samurai and a cold-blooded killer . Ishikawa's wisdom helps guide Jin's decisions as he journeys to defeat Khan, the very definition of a killer. As he ends the lives of more people, it becomes crucial for Jin to separate himself from the monster that is Khan.

9  "I Trained You To Fight With Honor!" "Honor Died On The Beach!"

The tense exchange between Jin and Lord Shimura was seen in one of the first promo trailers when Ghost Of Tsushima was announced, uploaded to YouTube by <a href="https://youtu.be/rTNfgIAi3pY?si=S8M42_a5hhK-z3ti">PlayStation </a>. It established the nature of Jin and Shimura's relationship before the player even got to meet them. The theme of honor and respect is prevalent in the game, and through just the trailer, fans were offered a glimpse at how conflicted Jin is about his role as a Samurai.

In the quote, Jin is referring to the battle on Komoda Beach, in which Khotun Khan nearly wiped out the opposing Samurai forces with violent efficiency . Jin follows up the line, proclaiming, "The Khan deserves to suffer. " As the game progresses, this line becomes one of the most important moments, showing Jin's shift away from the code of the Samurai.

8  "You Have No Honor." "And You Are A Slave To It."

Lord Shimura & Jin Sakai Have Different Approaches

This conversation between Jin Sakai and his uncle and mentor Lord Shimura, shared by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB5oH3fL-OU">Joey Dominguez </a>on YouTube, continues on the theme of honor. It shows the growing rift between the two characters. Throughout the game, Jin moves toward doing what he feels is right, instead of what the code of the Samurai instructs that he should do.

Ghost of Tsushima: Best Things to Do After Beating The Game

There are a lot of different things for players to do in Ghost of Tsushima. This guide will show players things to do after they beat the story.

This is entirely at odds with Lord Shimura, who stands by the traditions and customs of the Samurai. Here, the player sees Jin accuse Shumura of being stuck in the past, unable to do what is right because of being stuck doing what is expected.

7  "The Proud Do Not Endure. The Greatest Of Us Fall In The End."

This moment in the game, shared on YouTube by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xADKaKdps4">Noah Moses </a>, is shared between Jin and his elderly and wise mother figure, Yuriko. Her wisdom has guided Jin through life, and in this line, she reminds him not to let his pride lead him too far astray. Although it can be a reminder that Khan will eventually fall, it also serves to remind Jin that he's not immortal and that he could just as easily be felled if he gets too over-confident.

6  "The Strength We Need Is All Around Us."

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkyy9LfL2l0">Noah Moses </a>shares another bit of wisdom from Yuriko on YouTube. The full quote is, "All that immovable rock yields to water. The strength we need is all around us, " and it's a reminder that any challenge, no matter how difficult, can be overcome. With this line, she invites Jin to draw on his discipline and intuition and find the strength around him to rise up to the challenge , instead of charging at his problems head-on.

5  "Desperation Can Bring Out The Demon In The Best Of Men."

A large part of Jin's story arc shows him struggling with his identity. One thing remains true through it all, though: he would never side with the invaders. That's what makes Ryuzo's betrayal so painful for the protagonist. After losing more than half of the Straw Hats, his former friend decides it's better to join the Mongols rather than fight them. This quote from Ghost of Tsushima, shared by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld3bYJgj3Vo">Arjun Gaming Console </a>on YouTube, tries to make sense of Ryuzo's actions. When faced with a desperate situation, people are prone to taking desperate actions, though this doesn't excuse them.

4  "A Samurai Knows How To Apply The Right Amount Of Force – Too Little And You Lose Respect, Too Much And You Lose Opportunity."

YouTuber <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/hyrcggGk-aA?si=92PI5s9aCS6aodK-">ArtfulLuke </a>shares a short with this line, which points out how important it often is to find a middle ground. The Samurai must always be in full control. Lord Shimura's quote alludes to the fine art of finding balance in everything that the warrior does.

Ghost Of Tsushima's PC Release Shows Sony Learned Nothing From Helldivers 2

Ghost of Tsushima is finally due to launch on PC this month, but one new requirement in Sony titles has made it so many PC players can't play it.

This line is a callback to the tutorial flashback, where Shimura teaches Jin how to put aside his emotions. It also further reinforces the importance of the code of the Samurai to fight with honor and respect.

The relationship between Lord Shimura and Jin truly cements <a href="https://screenrant.com/ghost-tsushima-directors-cut-review-iki-island-dlc/">Tsushima as a game with a stellar narrative </a>. As his father figure, Shimura has always been supportive of orphaned Jin, teaching him the traditional ways of the Samurai.

Little does Shimura know that his statement about ending the Mongolswill later become about his own complicated relationship with Jin . In a heartbreaking battle between the two, seen on YouTube via <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaHl_WsicwA">Team Sapient Games </a>, Shimura is obviously hurt but nevertheless feels certain about what he has to do for the sake of his principles.

2  “Do You Wanna Know How I Was Prepared For Today? I Learned. I Know Your Language. Your Traditions. Your Beliefs. Which Village To Tame And Which To Burn.”

From the very beginning of the game, Ghost of Tsushima sets Khotun Khan up as a force to be reckoned with. This line, shared on YouTube by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MET9A0LvJIw">cyniic </a>, shows that he's much more than just a brute. It depicts Khan as being incredibly intelligent and cunning and makes him so much more fearsome. The leader of the invading Mongols shows himself to be willing to destroy the Island of Tsushima from the inside out, relying not only on brawn but also on brain.

Although Jin's main struggle throughout the game is to rid Tsushima of the invading Mongol forces, an arguably more difficult battle unfolds within him. He slowly realizes that the things that he's learned about honor and the code of the Samurais from Lord Shimura mean nothing against enemies who don't care about such values .

The most painful decision Jin has to make, which can be seen on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ansqb7qCLNk">YouTube </a>thanks to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ansqb7qCLNk">Ben Sunny Isaac </a>, is the one where he accepts his identity as the Ghost and separates himself from his father figure's teachings, even if it means having to kill Shimura. It's a defining moment that highlights the character's growth throughout Ghost of Tsushima , which has given him the strength to own his title and his newfound beliefs.
