Yeah its less cooler I agreed the thing is I was not going to finish him that time. I didn't know that fight is over when his life little bit left and I was going to get hit and do it again but things went south :D
when he gets hit at 1:38, that move always deals that much damage, even on Lethal difficulty it's weird because only that move deals less damage compared to every other attack in Lethal difficulty so that isn't proof that this is not Lethal difficulty you can check my video, "Non-Lethal Enemy Attacks in Ghost of Tsushima", this kind of thing happens a lot
