One message. One final victory. And a heart that stops the moment a lifelong dream comes true. Episode 10 Trailer 3 of Kuruluş Orhan delivers what the story has been building toward since the very first episode: Osman Bey’s farewell. Bursa’s conquest. And Orhan Bey stepping fully into his destiny. This trailer doesn’t tease.
It reveals. And because of that, it may be the strongest trailer the series has released so far.
Trailer Rating: 7 Out of 10 — And Why It’s Fair
Let’s start with the score: 7/10.
Not perfect—but powerful.
For the first time, the trailer doesn’t hide its biggest moments. It openly shows:
-
Osman Bey’s death
-
Bursa’s conquest
-
Large-scale battles
-
The Mongol threat
-
Hector being wounded
-
Flavius returning
Every major storyline appears.
Every key character matters.
It’s not flawless—but it’s complete.
Osman Bey’s Death: A Poetic Historical Choice
History gives two versions of Osman Bey’s death:
-
He died before Bursa fell, and his body was later brought there.
-
He heard of Bursa’s conquest, smiled, and passed away peacefully.
The series chooses the second—and it was the right choice.
In the trailer:
-
A messenger arrives
-
Bursa has fallen
-
Osman Bey finally hears the words he waited for his entire life
-
And then… his journey ends
This isn’t just drama.
It’s symbolic.
Just as Mehmed dreamed of Constantinople, Osman dreamed of Bursa— in prayer, in sleep, in hope. Bursa wasn’t just a city. It was the doorway to empire. Hearing its conquest gives him peace—and that moment deserves respect.
The Truth About Bursa: Not Taken by Slaughter
Many people don’t know this: Bursa was not conquered through mass destruction. Historically, the gates were opened. The city surrendered.
And the trailer reflects this:
-
Gates opening
-
No chaos
-
No massacre
This respect for history is one reason the trailer earns its 7 points.
Most likely, Episode 10 will show:
-
A peaceful takeover
-
Bursa becoming the first capital
-
The start of a new era
Orhan Bey’s Coming-of-Age Moment
Outside Bursa, Orhan faces the Crusaders.
And this is where he truly becomes a leader.
We see:
-
Strategy
-
Flanking
-
Controlled movements
The Crusaders expect a fighter.
They meet a commander.
Orhan doesn’t rush.
He calculates.
He controls.
And because of that, their strongest commander—Hector—is wounded. Not killed.
But badly hurt. This changes everything.
Is Hector Dead? Probably Not
Short answer: No.
Why?
Because:
-
Saroz, the governor of Bursa, is alive
-
Dafne, Nilüfer Hatun’s sister, is alive
-
Both appear after Bursa falls
When Orhan enters Bursa, Saroz is with him.
That means he survived—maybe even changed sides.
As long as they live, Hector’s story isn’t finished.
Prediction:
-
Hector survives the wound
-
But one of his men will die
-
Shahinshah is shown killing someone from their side
Blood will fall—just not Hector’s yet.
Flavius: From Enemy to Family
Flavius is not dead. His story is moving in a different direction.
According to the coming storyline:
-
He will convert to Islam
-
He will marry Fatima Hatun
The trailer shows them together again.
Their bond is growing.
This is not strict history—it’s drama.
But it adds emotional softness to a season full of blood.
An enemy becoming family.
Love crossing war and belief.
The Emperor and Orhan: Politics Over War
After Orhan weakens the enemy, the Emperor is freed. Orhan calls him to the camp—not for friendship, but for politics. Orhan’s deal is simple:
“Transfer Bursa to my name…
and you gain your freedom.”
The Emperor arrives with:
-
Saroz
-
Dafne
This again proves Hector survived.
Now the Emperor must choose:
-
War
-
Or diplomacy
He chooses negotiation.
The Biggest Twist: Asporça Proposes to Orhan
Then comes the shock. Asporça Hatun steps forward…
and proposes marriage to Orhan Bey. She proposes. This is not romance. This is strategy. The Emperor knows: If his daughter marries Orhan, they become family— and that may slow Ottoman expansion. Marriage becomes a political weapon. Orhan accepts. Why?
Because:
-
Asporça is educated
-
Influential
-
Politically powerful
This marriage strengthens his rule. But Nilüfer Hatun will not accept this easily.
-
Jealousy
-
Pain
-
Conflict
This triangle will explode emotionally. And yet—history confirms it:
Orhan did marry Asporça. This isn’t random drama.
It’s real.
Why This Trailer Works
This trailer succeeds because of balance:
-
History
-
Drama
-
Emotion
Osman’s death is not just an ending—it’s a transfer of vision. Orhan doesn’t just inherit land. He inherits purpose. Bursa’s peaceful conquest shows: Power isn’t always swords.
Sometimes, it’s patience. The political marriage shows: Empires aren’t built only on battles— but on alliances. And characters like Hector and Flavius show: Enemies can change. Faith can transform. Loyalty can shift. This season is no longer just about war. It’s about legacy.
