As the main antagonist of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima, Khotun Khan is an imposing force that looms over the island of Tsushima and is 🍨made even more threatening when he takes down Jin with relative ease during the first act. His connection to Genghis Khan adds yet another level to his threat, being one of the most prolific conquerors and mass murderers in human history.
Despite being the main antagonist, Khotun Khan doesn't show up all that often, being relegated to main story beats where his presence as the leader of an entire army makes the most contextual sense, rather than comiওng and going as he pleases. Because of t𝓀his, it's easy for players to miss certain aspects of his character that add to his intrigue and depth.
10 Patrick Gallagher 🅠 🐬
The man behind the face of Khotun Khan, Patrick Gallagher, should be instantly recognizable to many as the face of Atilla the Hun in the Night at the Museum film series, as well as his brief appearance in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Captain Marvel as an unnamed security guard. Like the majority of the rest of the cast, he has also appeared in the NCIS TV series, but he has also played parts in games such as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Red Dead Redemption 2 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Halo: Reach.
9 Tsutomu Isobe 💦 ღ
Since Ghost of Tsushima was intended to be an homage to Japanese cinema, particularly the works of Akira Kurosawa, it's no surprise that there is a dub of the voice-over work in Japanese. For Khotun Khan's character, he is played by Tsutomu Isobe, one of the most prolific voice actors in Japan. While he does the occasional anime or video game character, his most common work is in dubbing for actors such as Harrison Ford in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars series and playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wolverine in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:X-Men films in place of Hugh Jackman.
8 ꧒ Family 💟Ties
As his name would suggest, as well as openly telling the player this fact, Khotun Khan is related to the great Genghis⛦ Khan as his grandson. He is also mentioned to be the cousin of Kublai Khan, a significant historical figure in his own right.
Just like his cousin and grandfather, he seems to have a knack for warfare and making sure he is well educated in the ways of the people he intends to ♕invade. His introduction cemented the threat he poses in the opening scene by effortlessly dispatching the samurai sent to duel with him.
7 ꦿ Real World Basis 💯
Like most of the characters in Ghost of Tsushima, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Khotun Khan is not an accurate historical f🏅igure and was created for the sole purpose of telling this story. Based on his actions and relation to Genghis Khan, he seems to be h𒊎eavily based on Kublai Khan in both his personality and his connection to the invasion of Tsushima. In real-world history, Kublai Khan was the leading man who invaded Tsushima, though whether or not he actually traveled to the island is up for debate as there is very little written history surrounding the invasion.
6 🧜 The Real Invasion
Unlike in Ghost of Tsushima, where the rebellion force was able to dismantle the Mongol army using guerilla warfare, the real inhabitants of Tsushima weren't so lucky, at least to begin with. The Mongolian army decimated the 168澳洲幸运5开ꦺ奖网:defending force on the beach of Komoda, where the tiny 80 man army stood little chance against the invaders. This is somewhat reflected in-game, as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Jin Sakai and Lord Shimura are the l♛on⛎e survivors in a battle that was otherwise impossible to win.
5 🐼 His Weapon Of Choice
There are many Mongolian soldiers on Tsushima who wield weapons sim꧅ilar to Khotun Khan, but none of them even come close to his skill with it. His weapon of choice is the guandao, a Chinese polearm similar in design to the Japanese naginata used by Norio, which means "reclining moon blade", referencing the shape of the blade. This was a fairly common weapon used by the Mongol army and is even still used today in some forms of Wushu and Wudangquan.
4 🥀 The Man Who Challenged The Khan
In the opening minutes of Ghost of Tsushima, a brave samurai is sent to challenge the strongest Mon♏gol soldier, with the hope being that, once defeated, the Mongolians would be put off fr🍨om their invasion. In one of the most brutal executions in the game, the man is mercilessly cut down by Khotun Khan, who chose to purposefully spit in the face of his honor.
If players weren't paying attention in the opening scene of the game, as well as certain side quests, the man who challenges Khotun Khan to battle is none other than 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Masako Adachi's husband, Lord Adachi.
3 🐈 He's A Cheater
Aside from his very one-sided fight with Lord Adachi, the Khan has a habit of fighting dirty if it means he will come out victorious and this is most evident in his first fight with Jin. Even if players manage to get his health down to zero during their first encounter on the bridge, he still won't be defeated and will throw Jin from the bridge regardless. It seems the Khan took a leaf from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Genichiro's book in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and refuses to die when he should.
2 Easily Angere🉐d 🉐
As the leader of an invading force, Khotun Khan is expected to act w꧂ith dignity and a calm demeanor, which he maintains for the majority of his appearances on screen. Despite presenting himself as a calm and collected leader, howe๊ver, he is very quick to anger when things don't go his way. During his fight with Jin, he loses his temper very quickly once Jin gets a single strike on him and throws the samurai to his death. In a similar manner, he once again sheds his calm attitude in favor of brute force when Taka unsuccessfully attempts to take the Khan's life, brutally murdering the blacksmith for his trouble.
1 🌱 He Doesn't Actually Kill🍒 Many People On Screen
Since he has an entire army at his disposal, it makes sense that Khotun Khan would send soldiers to do the killing in his place, as hไe has more important things to do than deal with Japanese "peasants," as he sees them. Despite this, he is presented as a man that should be greatly feared in battle, which is evident in all of the players' encounters with him. The only two people players see Khotun Khan kill on-screen are Lord Adachi, during the opening sequence where he challenges the Khan, and Taka, after his failed attempt to kill the Khan while incarcerated with Jin.
