As much as the studio might try to hide the fact, all games ever released by FromSoftware, especially the ones directed by none other than Hidetaka Miyazaki himself, remain connected to each other in one or the other. And unique speculation by fans is now connecting the director’s favorite game, Bloodborne, to another one of his productions in the most bizarre way possible.
The common link between the two video game series is said to be of the vermins, which are creatures called to be responsible for the impurity in Bloodborne, whereas they are instead viewed as immortal creatures in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
How Hidetaka Miyazaki Has Brilliantly Hidden A Connection Between Two Of His Games
As theorized by this user on Reddit, vermins can possibly serve as a connection between Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. In the former, there exists a band called The League which is a formidable group of Hunters committed to purging the world of vermin, creatures believed to be the cause of humanity’s impurity.
On the other hand, in Hidetaka Miyazaki’s world of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, centipedes take on a different form. Here, they are immortal beings closely intertwined with the rejuvenating waters that play a central role in the game’s narrative. Additionally, their presence is considered to be ominous, and their origins remain a question unanswered.
The theory proposed by the Redditor states how vermins of Bloodborne are not merely pests but the larval form of the adult centipedes seen in Sekiro. This theory is further given credit from the fact of the running parallels between the two games, as well as subtle hints given throughout the games.
What Is The Exact Connection Between Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice And Bloodborne
A clue that links the two titles lies in the character of Yanamura, an NPC in the 2015 game described as hailing from a distant land to the east. The character is shown to harbor much hate for the vermin, suggesting a further personal connection to their origins.
This has led players to speculate how Yanamura’s homeland could possibly be from the title that came later. Likewise, the presence of similar creatures in both franchises hints at a bigger web to discover and explore made by the studio.
