Chapter 19 - JIN SAKAI (Ghost Of Tsushima) vs EZIO AUDITORE DA FIRENZE (AC: Ezio Trilogy) : Info

Jin Sakai

Jin Sakai grew up in Omi Village, Tsushima Island. Growing up in the ruling class of samurai, he was raised in a strict, disciplined environment, trained by his father and uncle to become a samurai. During his youth, he was friends with Ryuzo, and was taken care of by his maid, Yuriko. When his father died while Jin was still an adolescent, his uncle, Lord Shimura, jito (a land steward appointed by the shogunate) of Tsushima island, took Jin as his ward and continued to train Jin in the way of the samurai. Jin also fought against Ryuzo in a tournament while becoming a samurai, defeating him in a friendly duel. This would prevent Ryuzo from becoming a samurai, instead becoming a ronin mercenary and later founding the Straw Hat Ronin. The Mongols under Khotun Khan invaded Tsushima in 1274, taking over most of the island, and killed or enslaved anyone who resisted their rule. Jin is one of eighty samurai who were sent in a desperate suicide attack against the Mongols at Komoda Beach. During the battle, Jin was knocked unconscious, while his uncle Lord Shimura was captured. Jin was narrowly saved by the thief Yuna, who nursed him back to health and saved him from the Mongols. Yuna crafts a tale to explain Jin's superhuman abilities, boasting to onlookers that Jin is not human, but a vengeful ghost - a story that sticks and results in Jin becoming known as the legendary Ghost of Tsushima.

Ezio Auditore Da Firenze

Ezio Auditore da Firenze (1459 – 1524) was a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance, and, unbeknownst to most historians and philosophers, a Master Assassin and the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, a title which he held from 1503 to 1513. He is also an ancestor of William and Desmond Miles, as well as Clay Kaczmarek. A member of the House of Auditore, Ezio remained unaware of his Assassin heritage until the age of 17, when he witnessed the hanging of his father and two brothers, Federico and Petruccio. Forced to flee his birthplace with his remaining family members—his mother and sister—Ezio took refuge with his uncle in the Tuscan town of Monteriggioni, at the Villa Auditore. After learning of his heritage from Mario, Ezio began his Assassin training and set about on his quest for vengeance against the Templar Order, and their Grand Master, the Spaniard Rodrigo Borgia, who had ordered the execution of his kin. During his travels, Ezio managed to not only unite the pages of the Codex, written by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Mentor of the Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins, but also to save the cities of Florence, Venice, and Rome from Templar rule. He ensured the future travels of Christopher Columbus to the New World, liberated Rome from Borgia rule, and prevented the rise to power of Ercole Massimo's Cult of Hermes, helping spread the Renaissance and Assassin ideals of independence and free will throughout Italy.

EZIO AUDITORE DA FIRENZE (AC: Ezio Trilogy)

Powers and Abilities

Eagle Sense: He was born with the ability to use Eagle Vision, a form of supernatural sixth senses. With this, Ezio could instinctively differentiate friend from foe. He could even detect faint auras which have been there for weeks and even have a psychometric sense. He is the only Master Assassin to evolve his "Eagle Vision" into an "Eagle Sense".

Master Assassin: Ezio was both a highly skilled Assassin and an adept Mentor. He learned and developed a vast array of skills, such as picking pockets, blending into crowds, armed and unarmed combat, alternative or multiple weapon attacks, stealth and public assassination techniques, free-running and long-range combat.

Peak Human Conditioning: Due to the decades of him constantly going through rigorous training, specialized diets, meditation & his iron willpower, he is physically advanced to the point where he is the only assassin to evolve to practically superhuman limits. These seemingly inhuman physical abilities were lost after several years of retirement, likely due to him not keeping rigorously active anymore.

Superior Strength: His strength is such that he is able to harm armored templars by punching them through their armored suit as well. One strike on their armored suit even kills most of them.

Superior Mobility: He has shown a great deal of mobility, agility and speed, as he could easily take on an army of opponents all by himself. He was able to kill many of them before they could even see him coming to them, as he moves with such great speed.

Superior Durability: He also has a great deal of durability, as an arrow shot to the chest barely stunned him for a moment. He was even able to land on his feet, after falling from several stories, without any signs of struggle or lack of comfort. Greater extents of his durability were when Rodrigo Borgia stabbed him in the stomach and he endured the physical trauma to keep on to fight the Borgia. He was even capable of surviving being shot multiple times and falling from great heights.

Superior Stamina: He can even fight an entire army without showing any signs of fatigue.

Superior Metabolism: His metabolism is also superior, as he recovered from being shot in the chest with an arrow within several moments. This has also allowed him to retain his inhuman physical prowess in his advanced age as well.

Master Martial Artist: Due to his many years of war against the templars alone, his combat skills developed to the point that, when combined with his seemingly inhuman strength and speed he was able to take on legions of templars without effort. This was seen during his arrival at Masyaf, as he was able to kill so many templar soldiers, some of the best trained fighters, without any effort. He was also a profound swordsman and marksman, which combined with his highly developed senses, made him a one man army.

Expert Marksmanship: He is also an incredible marksman, capable of throwing knives or using long ranged weapons with peak proficiency. Even after reaching an extremely old age, he is able to utilize the Hidden Gun with absolute accuracy.

Expert Spy: He is well adept in blending in his surroundings as well as sneaking around heavily guarded places. He would usually blend into dense crowds and mimic their activities. He is extremely skilled in espionage, stealth, infiltration, disguise, thievery, and eavesdropping.

Escape Artist: He was able to escape after being held hostage by a legion of templars and even from a noose tied to his neck.

Expert Acrobat: Like any Master Assassin, he is a remarkable free-runner, parkour master and mountaineering expert. These abilities combined with his seemingly superhuman strength and speed, made his acrobatic prowess far more profound than all the other Assassins, before and after him.

Master Swordsmanship: He is equally deadly with a blade, able to use a multitude of countering, blocking, slashing, and parrying techniques. His abilities with a sword are extremely dangerous and could allow him to combat legions of enemies by himself. His training from his uncle and years of experience has furthered his abilities.

Leadership: During the events of the Renaissance, he took unofficial command of the remnants of the Brotherhood and transformed it into a powerful organization bent on creating peace through free will and destroying the Borgia Family and their Templar allies. Such leadership rendered his followers to declare him the Mentor of the Assassin Brotherhood.

FEATS

Over the course of the Trilogy, Ezio had noted himself to have far more finely-tuned senses than most other ordinary people during his time due to constantly honing them in his journey without rest. Isu-Hybrids in general have more advanced senses than most normal human beings.

Ezio is easily the most skilled and efficient fighter in Assassin's Creed, although it is against Soldiers/Mercenaries/Vatican Guards, but it's impressive nonetheless, since they were well trained for their time. He can use a wide variety of weapons effectively.

As an Isu-Hybrid, Ezio is capable of using the First Civilization's technology and artifacts without suffering from any detrimental effects. Could easily open doorways to First Civilization temples which normal humans couldn't due to not having high concentrations of Isu DNA within them.
