Is it better to spare Lord Shimura or kill him?

What is the saddest death in Ghost of Tsushima?

The saddest death in Ghost of Tsushima is subjective, but most players point to Taka (the blacksmith) for his tragic, hopeful end, Jin's horse (Nobu) for the emotional bond, and Yuriko for her poignant farewell as second mother figures, with Lord Shimura's finale also deeply impactful due to Jin's internal conflict.
