- Hey... hey you... (Cough, cough...)
- If you know the path of Buddha... Would you slay one who opposes it?
- [Sekiro] One who opposes the Buddha?
- Correct... (Cough, cough...) The one of whom I speak hides in an abandoned temple up ahead...
- He's sealed away the village in a shadowy fog... so that he can fool the villagers,
- An abandoned temple?
- Yes, it's an old building... (Cough, cough...)

AnonymousSo I have a thought, what if he means the Dilapidated Temple, and the Sculptor.....? Hear me out, here.
-the one who betrays Buddha (sculptor spends the whole time caring corrupted "angry" Buddha the whole time, as an empty altar sits in front of him, where one would go.)
-there's a hole in the roof of the Dilapidated temple if you look up toward the ceiling.
- you could possibly use the extra Rez orb item, the unique statue from Jinzi, and any other quest related unique items, combined with an interaction at a predetermined point after certain criteria may have been done, or done correctly" maybe giving yourself the bell demon, and or Kuros charm makes it so you Could save him in a hidden 5th ending.
Let me know what you all think!
(P.S. The fifth ending is amazing, you gotta see what happens)
P.P.S. I've never tried any of this, and deny any knowledge of said ending

Has anyone tried using a Bundled Jizo Statue in the temple? I was thinking it might be a situation like the old lady at Ashina Castle wanting you to pray so you use a balloon

I think it's at least interesting how his ending dialogue calls to mind the Return ending. Like the Dragon Heritage, Buddhism arrived to Japan from the west, way over in India. It didn't mix particularly well with the decentralized religions of Shintoism, creating a hierarchy that spawned the warring states. Maybe that's why he considers the noble an enemy of Buddha—trying to keep the secret of Mibu Village and the Fountainhead Palace a secret, perpetuating the fight over Dragon Heritage.

I have a feeling this guy will work as an entrance to a Buddhist centred DLC where a temple that’s being overtaken by someone needs to be saved. Or who knows maybe he really is just there to tell you how to get into the Mist Noble fight. He just seems so under utilised compared to literally every other NPC in the game.

What happens if you try to "spirit him away" with the magic fan?
He explains that to enter the mist nobles mansion you have to go in from the second floor as there is a hole in it, other then that he has a few unrelated lines talking about buddha.
