For Honor Execution Ideas (I know shugoki’s second one is pretty brutal)

Peacekeeper: 1. Enemy punches pk to the floor and rips/pulls her sword out of his/her body and walks towards pk menacingly while pk is scrambling away on her back; just as/before enemy reaches her she desperately manages to pull out her crossbow and shoot enemy in the face at the last second; enemy falls face down in front of her between her legs and pk is relieved. (The idea is to take the “enemy fights back” execution further and make it look like pk herself is actually about to die instead, but gets lucky and manages to kill her seemingly unstoppable opponent in the nick of time; this theme would be great for future executions) 2. Pk pulls her sword out of enemy and enemy runs away from her; pk is not concerned and casually pulls out her crossbow and shoots enemy in the back of their calf/knee; enemy starts limping; pk, while strolling/strutting forward, takes her time to reload and shoots enemy again but in their back/ shoulder; enemy falls to the floor/onto hands and knees and is now crawling, still trying to escape; pk reloads yet again as she walks up to and along side the enemy; enemy gives up and stops crawling and looks up to the pk as she now points her crossbow directly at their head while standing over them (but to the side); after a second of acceptance/staring at one another, pk shoots and the enemy falls to the floor. To save time, potentially remove the section where the enemy stops and stares at pk and instead simply make pk shoot a third bolt as they continue crawling (but still at point blank into the enemy’s head) or simply have pk only shoot the first or second bolt and then walk up to the enemy and finish them off with her sword, switching to a backhand/reverse grip as she walks up to the enemy, and stabbing downwards into their back with a kneeling motion before standing up again and reverting to a normal grip.

Orochi: similar to the first pk execution idea but instead finds a bow on the floor next to him/her at the last second (reminiscent of AC: origins cinematic trailer) or instead manages to pull out a kunai at the last second and fling it straight into their neck; in either case the enemy stands motionless for a second after they have been hit and then fall to the ground.

Black Prior (or any hero with a shield): bp pulls sword out of enemy and stands there neutrally, giving some space between them; enemy recovers and charges bp; just before the enemy would reach bp, he/she takes a large step forward and slams his/her shield squarely into the enemy’s chest/head, stopping their momentum dead (almost like a clothes-line) and sends them straight to the floor; enemy is winded/dazed and bp simply walks over, steps over their leg and violently slashes downward vertically across their face/head or chest (or plunges his/her blade into their chest) and keeps walking forward over their body.

Hitokiri: Pulls weapon out of enemy’s body; enemy throws a strong punch towards hito’s stomach/abdomen but hito intercepts and moves the flat of the axe’s blade directly into their path so the enemy punches straight into the metal (with a deep, resounding “bong” sound similar to that in hito’s first ever execution) and reels from the pain, falling to one knee; hito retaliates, now holding the axe with one hand and far up the shaft near the blade, punching back (jab-like) with the blunt end/point of the shaft between the two blades straight to the forehead/side of head; enemy falls onto both hands and knees; hito lines up to execute as she/he would traditionally on a chopping block, positioned perpendicularly to their side and raising the axe high; hito swings down and decapitates enemy; enemy’s body falls onto the ground a second after their head has been cut off.

Shugoki: 1. Shugoki holds the handle of weapon with one hand and the end of the club with other (almost like a rolling pin) and moves the entire weapon, (horizontally to his body) over the enemy’s head and behind their back; shugoki bear hugs the enemy between his kanabo and his chest/belly, lifting them off the floor while they struggle helplessly; this continues while shugoki laughs (or just simply looks into their eyes, unmoved?) until a sudden crack as the enemy’s body becomes limp and lifeless; (after a second more?) shugoki lets the enemy’s body flop to the floor and roars (or simply and silently reorients his kanabo, holding it to the side in one hand with the point in the ground?). (The brackets here are basically to distinguish between a more general, battle-scenario execution and a more personal, duel-scenario execution)
Shugoki: 2. Enemy tries to punch shugoki in his stomach/abdomen but recoils as if they have hit a brick wall, bouncing off while shugoki stands there unmoved and unimpressed; angry, shugoki puts his weapon on his back and gives a punch of his own with devastating power, a hook right to the side of the enemy’s head (with a heavy/scary crunching sound effect), sending them straight to the floor onto their front (with their feet towards shugoki and their head pointing away); shugoki, still angry (or laughing) walks forward and stands over their body as they struggle to get up/ crawl away; shugoki bends/kneels down, and reaches over the enemy’s head from behind with one hand, grabbing under the chin and pulls with all his strength; for a while you hear horrible, unnatural popping sounds as the head gives way (and screaming?) until suddenly it detaches and shugoki is left clutching the enemy’s head that he has ripped off with his bare hands; shugoki holds up the head , displaying it as a warning to everyone else and roars, before throwing it away. (This is just supposed to be simply terrifying to all other enemies watching). (For reference watch the game of thrones clip where the mountain (as a zombified kingsguard) pulls off the head of a “sparrow” (religious fanatic)).

Shinobi: enemy starts to run away but shinobi flings one of his/her kusarigama and it wraps around their neck; shinobi tugs on it and the enemy turns around to face them, clutching the chain with both hands and resisting strongly; shinobi forcefully winds the chain around his arm, slowly forcing the enemy to take steps towards him/her one at a time and close the distance; eventually the enemy is at point blank range once shinobi has fully reeled them in (almost like a struggling fish); the enemy falls to their knees at the shinobi’s feet and shinobi either plants his/her other kusarigama down into their skull from above or chops their head off. (For reference watch the throne room fight scene from Star Wars: Last Jedi between Rey and a praetorian guard)

Centurion(/warden?): enemy gently falls to their knees, accepting their fate/loss while cent keeps his weapon in them and kneels down with his enemy; cent puts a hand on their shoulder/back of head and eases them down to the floor; cent says before/while easing them down “you fought with honour, brother”, “you fought well”, “you brought honour to your family/people” “may you find your way to Elysium” or something similar (obviously in Latin). (The idea here is for centurion(or warden?) to be almost sad at the death of an opponent they respected and to be sympathetic, similar to warlord’s execution)
