[REDACTED] will obviously be the canon ending for Sekiro, right?

...why are folks assuming China when the dragon is obviously Korean in origin?

Yes so obvs

Heh, fair enough. Just seems odd that folks would immediately assume "China". I'd like to think the sword in particular makes the origin rather obvious, and it's not like the dragon is a perfect match for Chinese depicted dragons, either.

I don't know why you would assume that people know a dragon with a sword = Korea. I assumed the sword was some Moonlight Sword throwback myself.

The Seven-Branched Sword isn't *that* niche a concept. Or, so I thought.

It's at least somewhat niche.

It'll never get a sequel, so this isn't even a debate.

Activision is already telling share holders that Sekiro is a franchise for them so its safe to assume it will get a sequel.

so you are telling me that the canon ending for DS1 is where the age of fire was extended?

Both endings can be canon. DS2 and 3 establish that whether you link the fire or plunge the world into an age of darkness the cycle will always repeat.
