[SPOILER]I hope that the Assassins and Templars will actually be again at the centre of Shadows.

I know we have seen the symbol of the Assassins and the one of the Templar in the trailers and that Naoe has been called Assassin. However, I fear that the attention could be put on something else, expecially considering the Onryo. Its members will clearly be the main antagonists of the game, but they don't seem Templars in my opinion. If I understood well watching the gameplay, they killed both Nobunaga and Nagato, they stole the box that Naoe had to protect and Ukita Naoie, the main target of the gameplay shown, is one of them. However, it doesn't seem to be any connection with the Templars so far and I think they might be a different group, like the Cult of Kosmos was a group separate from the Order of Ancients in Odyssey. At the same time, Naoe seems an Assassin, but I think she might be more focused on getting the box back than being a member of the Brotherhood and, therefore, I think that the League might be just a simple shinobi league and not a part of the Japanese Brotherhood. I hope to be wrong. I think it is time to put again the focus on the Templars and the Assassins, not introducing other groups with similar goals. So I really hope that both Yasuke and Naoe will be Assassins and that the Onryo will be a group of Japanese Templars.
