Did Shimurq really think he was going to win that duel?

Give me a break. He has seen Jin in action. I think he expected Jin to just allow him to kill him. This guy brought you to your own plot to bury you there. Definitely should have brought you to the Shimura cemetery. I let him live and Jin delivered the message nicely. I have no honor, but I don’t kill family. Loved it. I went into that fight and expected to kill him but sat there a minute considering my choice.
