In Buddhist cosmology, there are six realms of existence: The Realm of the Gods, The Human Realm, The Animal Realm, The Hungry Ghost Realm, The Hell Realm, and The Realm of the Ashura or Ashurado. So what does all of this mean and what is Shura exactly? “Shura” is actually a term that can mean a few things but primarily refers to the buddhist image of Ashura who reside in Ashurado. The game then ends with Kuro crawling to the top of the castle to escape the spreading flames of hatred only to find Sekiro waiting for him, his left arm wreathed in flames before it fades to black and the game tells us that Ashina became the scene of a massacre that was haunted for years afterwards by a demon. Shortly after, Owl arrives and begins to gloat, confident that his plan has finally succeeded before he is suddenly run through by Sekiro. After her death, Isshin himself arrives and confronts Sekiro, preparing to cut Shura down a second time only to be bested by Sekiro in the end. Unfortunately though, as skilled as she is, she is no match for Sekiro. But if Sekiro chooses to obey the Iron Code, then he is locked into the path of the Shura ending instead.Īfter choosing to obey the Iron Code, Owl and Sekiro are interrupted by Emma who Owl orders you to kill. If we reject the Iron Code, we are forced to defeat Owl and the game continues. From here, we are offered a choice to obey the Iron Code and forsake Kuro, or to reject the code and stay loyal to Kuro instead. The path to the Shura ending begins after confronting Owl atop Ashina Castle once Kuro rejects his offer. Let’s start by doing a basic rundown of the ending and then breaking it down from there. However, in spite of this, I would say that this ending reveals a number of interesting things that I feel are worth mentioning. It’s the ending that is considered by many to be the “bad” ending to the game as well. It’s also an ending that many people probably stumbled into if they decided to follow Owl’s words of advice from the beginning of the game. The Shura ending in the game is the ending that most people who played the game are familiar with since it takes place so much earlier than the other endings. That said, let’s not waste any time and jump right into it with the first of the four endings, Shura. As always, feel free to watch my video linked above or read my post on the topic below.
