* KickTheSonOfABitch: The path to the Demon of Hatred is lined with the bodies of dead and dying Interior Ministry soldiers, and when you find it, it's killing a few more. After seeing the Ministry commit so much wanton slaughter over the course of the game, it can feel rather cathartic to see them get a taste of their own medicine for once.

* ClippedWingAngel: His headless form is intimidating but far less aggressive and accurate than his first phase -- his sword swings are wild, clumsy, often miss Wolf completely, and leave him terribly vulnerable if they're parried. His deadliest attack is a [[MakeMeWannaShout deafening scream]] that causes rapid Terror buildup if Wolf doesn't back off from it immediately, but even that is easy to avoid due to its large telegraph beforehand, and the Loaded Umbrella negates it completely.

* MasterSwordsman: Good Lord. There are several characters who are highly potent with the blade in ''Sekiro'', but Isshin? He makes them look ''mediocre'' in comparison. His title of "Sword Saint" is NotHyperbole, and he's easily among the most skilled of sword-fighters in [=FromSoftware's=] entire catalog, rivaled primarily by [[Characters/EldenRingMalenia Malenia]] and even keeping up with the likes of [[FallenHero Artorias]], [[KnightErrant Sir Alonne]], [[LadyOfWar Lady Maria]], [[OldMaster Gerhman]], [[PhysicalGod Gwyn]], and [[HumanoidAbomination Gael]] with his deadly precision and finesse. Case in point, he wrote the book for both the [[SimpleYetAwesome Ashina Swordstyle]] and [[AbilityMixing Mushin Arts]], and a special move he created in his old age is to slash a sphere around him so fast even Wolf, who can easily [[ParryingBullets block multiple bullets]], can barely discern a fraction of the sword strokes.

* StrongAndSkilled: While fighting as the Sword Saint as opposed to his [[WeakButSkilled iteration in the Shura route]]. While he doesn't use the One Mind Combat Art in this state, his silky-smooth swordsmanship and honed technique are perfected (restored,rather) to an exponential degree.

* AnimalMotif: The owl - it's part of the character's name and his cape is made of grey feathers: coupled with the pointed, beak-like beard and the man looks like an overgrown, humanoid owl. In the secret fight at the Hirata Estate, he can also summon an ethereal owl familiar.

* OminousMundanity: "Interior Ministry" is a rather banal name for such a dangerous organization.
