The gaming community is captivated by an extraordinary endurance challenge. Japanese YouTuber Uni Yasumi has garnered widespread attention for his daily encounters with the Inner Father in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
His video series, aptly titled “Let’s Beat Inner Father Every Day,” commenced in April 2022 and is now approaching the 1400-day mark with no end in sight.
The Inner Father is an enhanced version of Owl, accessible in the “Gauntlet of Strength” mode introduced post-launch. He is widely considered one of Sekiro’s most merciless and hardcore adversaries.
Uni Yasumi’s motivations for this relentless routine remain a mystery. His videos lack commentary or descriptions, offering no clues as to his purpose. While skill improvement might seem an obvious goal, his gameplay level has consistently been exceptionally high from the start.
Japanese fans of FromSoftware titles express admiration for his perseverance, yet simultaneously admit that such dedication instills in them a sense of awe and even a touch of superstition.
