Genichiro is just a really well written antagonist character. His fight with Wolf isn't just about revenge or a test of skills between warriors. No, it is also a battle of ideals, because both were truly fighting for what they believe are the right thing. They have their own reasons to get what they want, and they won't give in to doubts. Its not just a clash of blades, but also a clash of wills. This fight is easily a 10/10 in terms of lore and narrative.
@LeadFaun Genichiro had all that talk of saving Ashina and went through God knows what to do it and in the end he failed miserably that's what I meant.
Ludwig The Holy Blade I really liked demon of hatred phase 2. And owl father was good as well. But I like this more because It has parts that feel like the abyss watchers from DS3. and the battle setting is just perfect it’s a classic battle between a ninja/shinobi and a samurai.
While I do find Way of Tomoe’s ost to be pretty awesome, I absolutely ADORE phase 1 Geni. The mysterious side of this theme, contrasted by the pure triumphant heroism that just screams “No burden is too great for the sake of Ashina-”. I can just feel Genichiro’s devotion, his love, his undying will to protect his land and his people from any to all who appose that of the Ashina, though he’s willing to shed his humanity- he’s a true leader in my eyes.
Honestly I think this theme not only represents Genichiro as a character, but the very concept and nature of the samurai itself. Devotion, Honor, Bravery, Warrior spirit, all of it is perfectly conveyed by this track.
It's honestly a welcome refresher after Dark Souls especially giving us would-be tyrants and false gods; leaders who strove to great things but were so often undone by their arrogance. Genichiro feels like someone who, while still far from faultless, is truly pledging himself as a *servant* to this breakaway nation - to the point that there's no line he wouldn't cross. Not too often that we get an antagonist who is truly, utter devoted to a cause that they believe in, and I'm glad that our good general can count as an example.
Genichiro is my fav. I can do any of the Sekiro boss, no problem. But when it comes to Geni, it's just really special. Not only from a revenge perspective or the tensions building up between him and Sekiro, but also it's a fair fight that really teaches you how to really play Sekiro. Learn to attack/parry with him! The sword clanging sounds are just so satisfying. Such a shame that he only gets one health bar at the end.
@@dianheart2243 Owl I enjoyed since tge tension of not knowing what he will do next, he is a dirty bastard contrary to genichiro who fights like a loyal warrior even if he isn't one, Owl fights like a tricker and dirty foe, that's what I find special of each boss
I don't feel any need for revenge against him. I think from his perspective, he's really heroic, sacrificing everything he has for Ashina and going on a parallel quest to Sekiro's, seeking the mortal blade to save his country. He is also my favorite boss battle. Exactly the right level of difficulty, no cheap shots, just an even, straight forward battle between two similar fighters.
he'ssss not very heroic. anti-villain more like. he was doing a means justifies the end kinda thing, though according to isshin, Ashina would fall even if Genichiro had obtained the dragon heritage. they were just already too fucked by the ministry before genichiro took over.
@@Ferelcapox7 Well If sekiro were defeated by Isshin then I doubt anyone in Japan would be able to take Ashina down Prime Isshin + Dragon heritage He would come for the ministery by himself
@@otaldoshaka Why ? Shura occur in those who get Lost in the killing they make... Those who do It with no purpose and Dont have strong wills, althought the later is just a theory ... Ishinn killed by the thousands, he ia a sword Saint born from the battle, his description say that he was a Devil always searching strong opponents to fight but he never even mentioned that he had a problem on becoming shura. The sculptor in the other Hand never had the Power of the dragon heritage and he became shura ...
I think one of the things sekiro does the best is that it gives you a personal connection with some bosses, genny in particular. In soulsborne games, unless you know the lore (and even then you're usually an outsider and have no real history with the bosses), it isn't that emotional. Genichiro on the other hand cuts off your arm and is a continuous asshole throught the story, and I feel like that influences how great it was to beat him the first time (and as a punching bag before grandpa). Anyway great theme. I think the fact that this was the trailer theme shows how reflective this theme is of the overall game.
I agree although it's sad to fight bosses like Ludwig it's a bit mitigated since you never met him beforehand having some personal issues with bosses like Genichiro makes it more satisfying to put the Bastard down for severing your arm.
That's why I also love Owl in both of his fights. He has a huge influence in the explicit dialogue and story that the game forcibly tells you and you understand that he is your father who has lied to you and you two have a personal connection, but through the purification ending players can choose to find out more about his past and discover more about what actually happened in Hirata (although the owl father fight never actually happened). Owl is directly responsible for burning Hirata, Owl is directly responsible for the destruction of Ashina, Owl is a strong ally of the interior ministry who have stalked Ashina for many years thanks to his help, Owl is the mysterious "Great shinobi" who is responsible for a large amount of shinobi fighting styles such as shadowrush, Owl was once a close friend of Isshin as well as Dogun, Lady butterfly, Orangutan and Gyoubu. Owl is the one who took the branch from the everblossom making immortal severance impossible without his "consent", Owl was the one who killed you in Hirata and he attempts to perform the same backstab when you fight him atop Ashina castle. You also have a part to play, because you wipe out all of Ashina's most experienced fighters and allow the info broker, who is an agent of the interior ministry to relay information which allows the interior ministry to research the rejuvenating waters in Mibu village and develop a way to kill the undying in Ashina.
I'm quite late for this but not only I totally agree with your comment, but also Genichiro fights along the game are such a badass mix of player development and also lore. At the beggining of the game, he is the end of the "tutorial" part of the game and we're totally F*CKED by him. Even though we have a chance to defeat him but at first playthrough, it's nearly impossible. When we fight him atop of Ashina Castle, we had a few hours of training with different bosses and enemies and he will put you to test with the parry and all different mechanics of the game. For me, this fight was when the gameplay system "clicked" and it was sooooo satisfying the entire fight. At the end of the game, we went through so much (just as Wolf did, in his journey) that we are a master of the shinobi arts and the fighting mechaninc. His a BOSS before the FINAL BOSS and we hardly lose a single HP point for him. Genichiro and all his fights are a masterclass of From Software of how to intertwine gameplay/lore/player mechanics for a great experience
Funny how similar Genichiro and Sekiro are to one another. Both are skilled warriors, both are willing to use whatever methods to succeed, both are wholly devoted to a master (well in all but one ending), and both bring about ruin in their desire to protect their master (Genichiro really should not have kidnapped Kuro if he wanted to keep any of his warriors alive, and Sekiro proves exactly why that is). Funny how a change of perspective, compassion, and willingness to accept limits and impermanence changes one into a heroic figure, the other into a villain.
Why do you determine them as a hero and a villain? Because one of them is main character and another one oppose him? Genichiro just tried to protect his home and didn't do anything horrible.He kidnapped the kid, but I bet Kuro felt himself just fine, sitting in the castle and reading books. Sekiro was serving his master, but in doing so he killed a lot of people who were just staying in his way, protecting their homeland. I cant call any of them "villain". Owl might be the one.
@@butterbean9354 Yeah, when Ashina was burning and enemies flooded the castle - it's just an act of despair. Genichiro hadn't touched Kuro for 3 years, though it's feudal Japan and murdering a kid shouldn't be a hard moral choice.
The taiko drum section is GODLY! Theres an unstoppable driving forward momentum to it, with an accentuated 1st hit. genichiro will let nothing stand in his way
This just proves how skilled the japanese composers are when it comes to making OSTs. That guitar (or is it shamisen?) right at the start of the OST really sounds good to me.
I've been defeated and over and over and over until then I look his moves and his counters the musics Rises into my feelings I dodging deflecting jumping slashing and striking.. dude the theme it's so immersive
Thank you so much for this. The first phase is so incredibly good, and part of why he's one of my favorite bosses. Do you have any plans on extending any other tracks? I'd love to hear phase 1 of the Owl's theme from the flashback extended, if that's possible. But even so, thank you so much for this extension.
I don't plan to extend any more tracks since I basically only extend the ones I really like, but if somehow there are more requests of something you want to see/hear, I might actually do it
@@z_on Alright, that's cool. The entire track is good, but as with so many Fromsoft bosses, i tend to like one phase of the track better than the other, so i was just wondering. But i understand your reason.
I probably heard this more times than mini boss battle theme . Yes I died to him a fuck ton of times but goddamn was it satisfying to finally beat him. Base Genichiro is good but Inner Genichiro is probably my favourite fight (very very close 2nd is Inner Isshin).
@@genichiroashina117 Well Genichiro, Ashina was doomed eventually. With Isshin's failing health and the Ministry growing in power, it was only a matter of time. Sekiro only sped things up.
@@genichiroashina117 that I cannot argue with. Genichiro may not be too big of a 'role model', but he was definitely a good leader. With the right means, he would perhaps be remembered as a war hero. But unfortunately, that is not to be.
Long ago in the land of Ashina, I, Genichiro, vowed to take the dragon’s blood! But a foolish shinobi wielding a blessed weapon stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I sliced off his arm and flung him into Ashina Outskirts! Now the fool seeks to return to Ashina, and undo the future that is... GENICHIROOOOOO
Am I the only one who found Genichiro really easy when I battled him mid-game. I think the reason why I found him so easy was because I went through all of Senpou Temple and defeated lone shadow longswordsman and seven ashina spears before Genichiro. I think I prepared for Genichiro too much.
Yeah, great boss if you fight him right. People say the same exact thing about darkeater midir but the reason why they find him so hard is because they're fighting him wrong.
I kind of agree. When I first fought him, he completely beat my ass, but then I explored over to Reservoir and Senpou before coming back, and while it wasn't a breeze, it was better this time around. And yeah, I agree that many people refuse to learn early, some people can't. Like, I personally still hadn't completely learnt how to use parries and Mikiri well, but a few tries with Genichiro taught me that. I was willing to learn that is, but there's so many people out there who just outright refuse to learn to play the game its supposed to, and then they say that Sekiro is punishingly difficult. Imo, Sekiro is easier than Soulsborne. And either way, Genichiro is a fantastic boss. Him and Owl are my two favorite bosses of the whole game.
@@littlemoth4956 Agreed. Some people just refuse to learn the game, expecting the game to do everything for you. Then they say that Sekiro is punishingly difficult, and ragequit and leave bad reviews.
When he says he'll kill you as many times as it takes,he isn't joking
Nah, Gebitchiro is a joke. Isshin is hard as balls.
@@Adamantian9 not really. owl father and inner owl are the hardest boss

So much for all that Glory.

Don't say ashina he says it like Ashin'nah.
Shut up OK. I've had it up to HERE with that line. Came here to get my mind off of it.
Best boss fight in the game. Once you have mastered sekiro combat, Genichiros fight feels like a tango, both of you trading blows and deflects
