"Shrouded by night, but with steady stride. Colored by blood, but always clear of mind. Proud hunter of the church. Beasts are a curse, and a curse is a shackle. Only ye are the true blades of the church."
@@AmritZoad it’s a teaser for Sekiro due to the same garb & hakama that would later be worn by Wolf. Aside from one ripped sleeve & a change in colour, the haori that Wolf wears and the one that Yamamura wears are the same thing.
I feel like this was some sort of hunter chant that the church teaches you. Knowing the healing church they probably said this serves a reminder of what u are and this chant will keep you sane or something.
Not to comment on an old video, but I think he's talking to Simon with this chant. Simon is a church hunter, and before the player the only person roaming the Nightmare. Calling Simon a 'true blade of the Church' may be reference to Simon's desire to end the Nightmare by uncovering it's secret, helping the damned in a way that aligns with what the Healing Church was meant to be. But then, he could be referring to the player, couldn't he? Instead of "Proud hunter of the Church" meaning someone who hunts for the church, he could be referring to someone who is hunting the church, which aligns well with the player's actions throughout the game. And just like Simon, who's bloodied himself on the blood of people as a church hunter, we've bloodied ourselves with the blood of the church but maintained a clear mind throughout our journey.
