Current Events > Why do people say "Sekiro"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sekiro instead of just saying SDT

its much shorter. I thought everyone was behind the Shadows Die Twice name! What happened? I still think of it SDT. Like, I played SDT! - I have SDT! - SDT was great! - I hope they make another!

Because "SDT" is a lot less recognisable, duh.

Id recognize it anywhere.

I've never heard anyone call it SDT

---

Nobody ever picks the longer name unless its the only unique thing. Nobody has ever called Sekiro shadows die twice. Not once, ever

Sdt is shorter than sekiro

---

Sdt sounds like a time zone.

---

It says it right there on the cover

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Thats what we wanted them to call it

I can't tell if this is some sort of joke or just weird bait honestly.

Either way, that'd be like calling all the metal gear games TEA

I'm gonna go play TEA 4 and peacewalker beaches TEA V is trash!

ykno?

Tangentially related to this I have a buddy that constantly refers me o Ghost of Tsushima as GoT

He just doesnt understand Game of Thrones gotthere first. So thats immediately what comes to mind when he uses that acronym.

Well i think Shadows, Die, Twice sounds a lot cooler than Tsukuro or whatever they were going for >_>

I forgot Sekiro even had a subtitle. Never heard anyone use that subtitle, ever.

Same. Even in TC's first sentence up there, in the same sentence as "Sekiro", I was wondering what SDT stood for.

Well I think you have never even played it, considering that the game tells you how it is pronounced multiple times.

Sehk-ee-row

And it means something.

Sekyro one armed wolf

Now what does Kuro mean? What about Sakura? Okami? Yeah

Fun Fact: Aldrichs name was Eldritch in Japanese. So who knows.

Anger. Anguish. The West. Demons. Dragons. Its an interesting mythology. Very well written.

Oh wait I remember this topic now

This is like what, the 3rd/fourth time you've posted it?

---

Kuro: Darkness , or, Little Wolf

Its one word and easier to spell. No one but TC would recognize it too lol

---

i didnt know SDT was the acronym for it thanks for the info :)

for me it just means "Sin Devil Trigger" from DMC 5 hehe

---

Okami : Great Spirit , or , Wolf

Sekiro-kun ^.^

Sekiro sounds better than something that sounds like STD.

---

~Shinobi~
or
Ninja.....

whatever. Anything is better than Assassin. . How does a word like that survive?

Because in reality, shadows don't die twice. They die 69 times.
---

What the hell is SDT?

---

Shadows is meant to mean Ninja, or the dark undead in this case. Its like the Lord of Cinder mode shit the bosses in Dark Souls 3 have. In Shadows Die Twice, the bosses all have like multiple live, so you have to kill them twice. Basically. Lol. sometimes more and also Sekiro/Okami has two lives. Like a cat. Whtevr.

Canonically, I think the hero also dies twice and so does like every main human character. Including the reused bosses, like Owl Twice. The Blazing Bull/Sakura Bull. The game just has a lot of duality. Sekiro, the sculptor, and the dragon are all missing an arm. The Lone Shadows dont use one arm, except for special attacks...... a LOT like Sekiro. Etc. So its a theme. Like a running gag. Because Berserk and other reasons. The arm is awesome.

I totally get the jungle vibes from Sekijo/Orangutan. Anyone remember the teaser? When they announced it? Awesome

<3 Shura XD Buddha

People should say ShadowRingBloodSouls rather than Soulsborne.

---

Nobody in the history of ever has called it SDT

---

Anyone who speaks Japanese want tell me all the wonderful ways we can interpret Lordran as a portmanteau? Look at the other names of places. Astoria. Izalith. Omg New Londo.

King Chaos? God of War? Loreland? Dragon Country? ... Drangleic?

Who said fantasies had to be final?

Remember when they wanted to call Dark Soul

Dark Ring
or Dark Race? You gotta wonder........

Sexual
Disease
Transmitted

Try tongue
but hole

Is it Busshi? or Bushida? Bushido? Issin? or , Isshin? B?

Great Hollow or Great Hallow?

Sol/Soul(sun god) - male
Luna/Madness(moon beast) - female

Dark Souls is fun! I wonder why the Giant Lord has the Moonlight Sword. Isnt that a dragons weapon? Its interesting because the Dragon in Sekiro has the seven-branched sword which is interpreted as being a Moonlight Sword reference, while also satisfying the requirement for a Tenchu reference (Mei-Os weapon) ~ and I took the Mortal Blades as being analogues to the Dark Slayer & the Exselector from Kings Field. Wolfs own Kusabimaru being very similar to the weapon from Ninja Blade. Or the Chikage. Or the Shadow Blade/Wolf. The Blade of Chaos.

Any number of awesome katanas in FromSoftware games...... Similar! To Ludwigs from Bloodborne which is both an olde Europe Beethoven Sonata reference and a Moonlight Sword reference - which was entirely confirmed in the DLC by the actual Sword of Moonlight appearing WITH Ludwig lol. But , the Ludwigs Greatsword itself is entirely unremarkable. Its like the Bluemoon Sword from DaS2. (your favorite game!)

Once you begin to understand their line of thinking with language, you can apply it across the board. Interesting things begin to surface. It gets really interesting.

Its all connected. For a second I could almost feel like I could see it.

I want to believe.
