It's incredible that after 12, 000 years of betrayal, Yasha can make the right choice and stand by his brother. He does not ask for forgiveness, only for the opportunity to do what is right.

[Colbio]

Yasha, God of Melancholy. A man who gave up everything for a cause he believed was the greater good, only to realize millennia too late that the cost was too high, the way he had followed was wrong.

Yasha, God of Melancholy, brother to Wrath, died on his feet, a smile across his face.

[calmante]

Fun fact: Yasha's english voice actor is Robin Atkin Downes, the same man who voice acted for the medic in tf2

[sompret]

"Well, howdy there, Ronin."

"Konnichiwa, Pilgrim-san."

[drangelice]

Playing as Yasha running to stop the Brahmastra was amazing. Plus the samurai cowboy backing track. Damn what a game

[alexrain]

I will never comprehend how this game wasn’t a giant hit. (Although having the ending be DLC was underhanded.)

[charlizard]

“Bonds” hits so much harder when you realize it’s Yasha’s final battle…

[jasonroberts]

This is absolutely addictive. Honestly I'm not sure who's actually cooler, Yasha or Asura(though it's clear who's more powerful) This song that's has Japanese instruments but sounds like a Wild West lone gunslinger song with a metal twist to it is just.... it's just glorious.

I love how Wind Fang has the cowboy sound and Orphan Wolf Legend has the Native American sound.

[XG]

Here's my interpretation of Yasha's theme, which I believe highlights three aspects of his character.

Orphan Wolf Legend - Wind represents Yasha as an individual. His Mantra Affinity is Melancholy, something that this tune strongly evokes. Slow, somber, and poignant, it perfectly encapsulates Yasha's sorrow as he distances himself from those he cares about for the sake of "The Cause".

Orphan Wolf Legend - Fang represents Yasha as a fighter. The fast pace of the track combined with a sped-up version of his leitmotif showcases his lightning-quick moves and immense power in the heat of battle.

Orphan Wolf Legends - Bonds represents Yasha as a Deity. In the eyes of the common man, he is a divine being who guides and protects them, and so offers this song of praises and prayers, unaware of the underlying loneliness that he feels as an individual.

The Space, Ninja, Cowboy, Indian, God, Japanese, Yasha is the name

[enderaceofspades]

Fitting that Yasha, the God of Melancholy, died with a smile on his face.

[TheMightyNovac]

Wind: Yasha, the lone wolf. Just a single, melancholy whistle -- like a cowboy from the wild west.

Fang: The whistle is accompanied by a dueling guitar -- Yasha has met his match. The energy is pumping. Yasha, in conflict, is no longer alone, and he has found unlikely purpose.

Bonds: Yasha's whistle is accompanied by a native American chant -- no longer dueling or complimenting his melody. Almost ignoring it. Yasha is alone once more, his bond with Asura lost in the legend he helped create.

[ScenicFire]

"You are a fool, next time, do not come back."

[Superdarkcloud]

Yasha is easily the best character besides Asura himself.

[SomerandomShmuck]

Perfect for calisthenics work outs. Especially when u do it outside in the summer heat. That slight sensation of death lightly grasping ur shoulders is priceless. Brings u closer to ur self than anything else

[thefrenchfred]

Hanzo and MacCree fusion was spoil before Overwatch release

[SomeAustrianGuy_]

That final fight had every right to be as badass and emotional as it was, that shit was hype

[asraelconcreteeatingcat]

It's been 9 years and the first 50 seconds of this track still make me piss my pants

When you spend too much time among the stars, you forget about what is happening on the ground.
