I got it in my head that Jin has always wanted to be a dad, but once the war starts and he starts becoming the Ghost, that road seems to shut on him. Who wants to live as the wife of a marked man, and what could he pass to the heir of a disbanded bloodline?
But I can't see him being single for the rest of his life, and I don't just mean casual sleeping around. He would be one of those people who somehow get locked down, and once he's quietly married he'll sit there wondering, "When did this happen?"
I do see him as bisexual, especially given that samurai were allowed to have relationships with other men (it's a specific age gap type of relationship, but from what I've read, that doesn't mean the door was shut on adult samurai having relationships with each other either), but when it came to actual marriage, it was expected that they end up with women because of how people expected gender roles to work when it came to starting a family.
So...I think one of two things could happen:
He has a child with Yuna. I absolutely do not ship this by a million miles (no hate to the ship, I just very strictly see them as bros), but she's the only woman he can get close to without dragging her into danger by association with him. It's very much a case of "my best friend and I made a pact that if we're still single by forty, we'd get married."
Or he finds a woman who willingly throws herself into a life on the run, or already is, and they become inextricably involved with each other. It could even be Tomoe. He sneaks onto the mainland on a mission, to the capital of Japan itself...and, well...
I have a lot of complicated feelings about this, given that Jin was most likely raised being taught that blood is everything. But the way he was raised, his relationship with his elders, and eventually the found family he ends up with at the end of the game tell a completely different story.

Damn ghost of Tsushima really captured the raw discomfort of being hit on by your nanny who thinks you’re your father, while also managing to spear me right in the emotions.
Impressive.

With ghosttsu 2 rumors wandering again on twitter I can't stress enough how funny it would be if we got a "surprise bitch" cameo from Ryuzo at the end lmao.

I’m about 2/3rd of the way into “Ghost of Tsushima”. One, I did not expect that this game would be about the origins of the ninja. Two, in a weird way, this game is secretly a coming-of-age/generational gap story.
Our main hero is Jin, who represents the current generation. He was raised to follow the ways of his elders, namely his father and uncle. However, the old ways are limited since the Mongolian invaders don’t respect them. That’s when Jin meets Yuna, who is the “rebellious” youth who shows Jin a different way of handling the Mongols. Yuna’s way clashes with the elders’ ways, but she’s getting results. This ends up creating a moral panic in Jin since he’s torn between respecting his elders and doing whatever it takes to stop the Mongols.
It’s straight up a generational gap storyline. If you take away the samurai/ninja stuff:
1) Jin is the young man who grew up in a sheltered, conservative home but grows disillusioned with his elders due to the state of the world he’s in.
2) Yuna is the rebellious young woman who wants to save the world (let’s just say, her brother is her world) and has no respect in the older generation since she feels they are responsible for the troubles of the world, such as Yarikawa’s resistance to assisting Lord Shimura.
3) Lord Shimura represents the older generation that is set in their ways and is, albeit reluctantly, willing to punish the younger generation if they stray from tradition. He also represents how older generations have created problems that the younger generations are forced to deal with, such as Jin and Yuna needing to mend the strained relationship between Clan Yarikawa and Clan Shimura.
4) The Mongols in general represent the troubles of the world that both the older and younger generations have to deal with. However, both generations clash over how to deal with their mutual problems.

Ghost of Tsushima has a really solid narrative arc not only about breaking away from tradition + changing your perspective based on new information/circumstances and how that can have both positive and negative consequences, it’s also a narrative about both the wonderful triumph and terrible cost of passion and sentimentality, in many of the character stories but especially in the narrative around the game’s main protagonist, Jin Sakai.

In a world without lies, Sakai Jin would have been beheld as the Great Uniter, who picked up the bitter splinters of Tsushima with his bare hands -- the same blood that broke the wood now spilling anew as they pieced Yarikawa, Shimura, and Adachi together.
In a more just world, Sakai Jin is not seen as a threat, but commended for protecting his nation by making the ultimate sacrifice.
In a kinder world, Sakai Jin can breathe easy under the maple leaves with his loved ones, and compose a happier haiku.

Tbh the thought of post GhostTsu in which Ryuzo lives and him and Jin arguing and ending up angrier than they were before, only for Jin to crawl back to him because he really doesn't want Ryuzo to leave, and Ryuzo inquiring Jin if his betrayal means nothing to him, and Jin saying with a gentle tone "it means everything. That's why I don't want you gone." Just
It makes me weak as hell.

Yuna's mind has been conscious since a cloudy summer night when she found herself alone in a bamboo forest while screaming looking for someone who was not her mother; although she can't remember what happened before that or who she was looking for. Today she only wants to spend the harsh winter on an island that is hostile to her even after the expulsion of the Mongols.
