This show was not terrible. A pleasant surprise. Many flaws, but overall not terrible. In Episode 9; Why did that one dude admit to hiring the assassins, and also doing basically all the bad things in Season 1? What was his motivation and purpose? Something vague about stopping the war? Also in Episode 10; Why does that asshat have a literal mural of him killing Kublai? What building is this in?

Wow that's poo poo writing and a complete 180 from the character, considering before that he literally stated he serves his God by serving the Khan.

You must be high now, and also a prick! The fact that Yusuf and Jingim didn't want to fight the war is irrelevant. Yusuf had his council heard, and then discarded. From this point he then does basically every bad-thing-tm that happens to the Khan for the rest of the season. There's are several scenes before Yusuf has his meeting with Jia Sidao where he communicates the principle that his purpose is to serve the Khan. And most importantly when Marco is tracking people down to solve the mystery, he interrupts Yusuf when he is praying to Mecca. In this scene Yusuf states that his servitude is his way of clarity and purpose in life. Even if we disregard all that character back story, it still makes no loving sense. Assuming Yusuf wants peace, then hiring the assassins harms his goal. A huge component of the assassination subplot was that it would fuel a quicker conflict between the Mongols and the walled city. Yusuf straight up acknowledges that if Kublai dies, one of the blood relatives would be the new Khan. And all of them are more likely to attack the Chinese. Even Jingim, who was pro-peace at the onset, is now pro-war because he thinks the assassination attempt on his father came from the Chinese. It's bad, sloppy writing. And you're a dick. edit: I guess the one thing you can say is that Yusuf did give Sanga the death penalty when didn't have to.
