I think the story of sekiro has a lot more to it than it seems at first glance, the theme of all things having to die eventually or become stagnant and decay is present on every single aspect of the game to an almost religious degree. From wolf's immortality leading to everyone around him getting sick with dragonrot, the monks who committed unspeakable atrocities just to get a lesser form of it, all the creatures with immortal centipedes in them and genichiro's whole character, who wants to make ashina go on by any means necessary. That moment at the end where isshin acknowledges that ashina has to die but still will honor the last wishes of his grandson and fight you was very impactful for me
also kuro's and sekiro's relationship was cute
