A city that resisted for centuries falls in a single night. And when it does, history doesn’t whisper—it shifts. Episode 10 Trailer 2 of Kuruluş Orhan finally delivers the moment the entire story has been moving toward: the fall of Bursa. But instead of spectacle, the trailer offers something quieter—and more unsettling. This is not just a victory. It’s a turning point that may change the fate of both the empire and the series itself.
For nearly 900 years, Bursa stood under Byzantine control. Empires rose and fell around it, yet the city endured.
For the Ottomans, Bursa was never just territory:
-
It was Osman Bey’s final dream
-
The city where he wished to rest
-
The capital that would transform a frontier tribe into a state
Episode 10 doesn’t frame Bursa as a prize of war.
It presents it as inheritance—a responsibility passed from father to son.
Orhan Bey’s Strategy: Patience Over Pride
Unlike traditional siege scenes filled with ladders and engines, Orhan Bey chooses restraint.
-
No massive assaults
-
No reckless charge
-
No hunger for spectacle
Instead, forgotten tunnels are reopened.
Hidden paths return to life.
And through the darkness walks Alaeddin Bey.
Torches flicker. Yellow light dances across tense faces. Fear is replaced by faith. Fatima Hatun and Halime Hatun don’t wait behind—they walk into danger.
This is not cinematic bravado.
It’s quiet resolve.
The Tunnel Explosion: When Everything Almost Ends
Then comes the moment that freezes time.
-
A spark
-
Red-orange light crawling forward
-
Silence tightening its grip
The explosion hits.
Stone collapses. Smoke surges backward. For one terrifying moment, it feels like the mission—and everyone inside—has been lost.
And then leadership appears.
Alaeddin Bey steps forward and says what soldiers need most:
Our goal is great. Move forward.
This is not reckless bravery.
It’s belief under pressure.
The Fall of Bursa: Victory From Within
Inside the castle, steel meets steel. Templar knights fall—not to overwhelming numbers, but to determination.
The main gate opens.
Not by force from outside.
But by resolve from within.
Walls mean nothing now.
Sunlight floods the city as Orhan Bey enters on horseback—calm, controlled, unshaken. Even Tekfur Saroz, now captured, walks beside him.
-
Flags are lowered
-
Kayı banners rise
-
Hands touch ancient walls
-
Lips kiss the standard
And Orhan Bey declares:
“From now on, Bursa is a Turkish city.”
Not shouted.
Spoken with certainty.
Asporça Hatun Draws a Dangerous Line
Victory does not end tension.
Inside the tent, words strike harder than swords.
Orhan Bey states his purpose clearly:
He will conquer Bursa and fulfill his father’s dream.
But Asporça Hatun snaps back:
That city has been ours for 900 years. Give it up.
Orhan pauses—then delivers a line that defines power:
In these lands… your wishes hold no status.
This is not arrogance.
It’s the sound of a new order forming.
Orhan Bey in Combat: No Longer Symbolic
On snow-covered paths, Orhan closes the distance.
-
Steel clashes
-
A Templar knight falls in a single strike
Here, Orhan Bey is no symbol.
He is decisive.
He is lethal.
A Darker Threat: Dafne’s Obsession
Elsewhere, danger grows in silence.
Dafne speaks without grief—only poison:
To restore our power… everyone must be killed.
Even Asporça hesitates.
When asked, “Even your own sister?”
There is no answer.
This is no longer politics.
It’s obsession.
And then a cloaked spy appears.
The tunnels are known.
The clock starts ticking.
A Victory That Feels Rushed
Here’s where celebration turns uneasy.
Bursa’s conquest should feel enormous—but signs of compression are everywhere:
-
The castle feels small
-
Armies vanish between scenes
-
Epic moments pass too quickly
-
Romance consumes screen time
-
Dialogue sounds modern
-
Emotional beats repeat
Behind the scenes, reports suggest multiple senior crew members have been removed. Ratings continue to fall. Rumors of an early ending grow louder.
This doesn’t feel accidental.
It feels like crisis control.
