The Ghost of Tsushima memes primarily revolve around the central conflict of the game: the protagonist Jin Sakai's transition from a strictly honorable samurai to the pragmatic and stealthy 'Ghost.' Since the game's release in 2020, fans have used the breathtaking visuals and dramatic cinematic shots to create memes about the 'Honor' system, the Guiding Wind mechanic, and the protagonist's silent but deadly efficiency. Common variations include Jin's stoic expressions, the iconic 'Jin Sakai vs. Khotun Khan' dynamics, and humorous takes on how the game prioritizes style and photo mode over actual combat. It has become a staple for gamers to express the struggle between traditional rules and getting the job done.
