The second trailer for Mehmed: Fetihler Sultanı Episode 80 has arrived—and it may be one of the most emotional trailers the series has ever released. Two of Sultan Mehmed’s closest and most respected warriors appear to be leaving the story forever. The trailer combines grief, sacrifice, and powerful symbolism as the Ottoman camp faces devastating losses during the Wallachian campaign. From the final mission of Evrenosoglu Ali Bey to the tragic condition of Zaganos Pasha, Episode 80 looks set to become one of the most heartbreaking chapters of the season.

Ali Bey’s Final Mission

The trailer opens with Evrenosoğlu Ali Bey preparing for a dangerous operation near:

Târgoviște

Ali Bey’s mission is critical. He must destroy cannons secretly sent by:

Matthias Corvinus

to support Vlad the Impaler in the war against the Ottomans.

The mission immediately feels ominous because Ali Bey begins seeing visions of fallen martyrs, including:

• Ulubatlı Hasan
• Eren

In the series, these visions usually symbolize that death is approaching.

A Heroic Sacrifice

As Ali Bey attempts to complete his mission, the enemy commander Padri launches a devastating arrow attack.

Multiple arrows strike Ali Bey across his body, leaving him critically wounded.

Despite collapsing, he still succeeds in igniting the gunpowder and destroying the enemy weapons before dying.

Even in his final moments, he completes his duty.

His last words appear directed toward a fallen soldier beside him as he softly whispers:

“My son…”

The trailer also suggests that his son Alperen may die beside him, creating the possibility of a father and son becoming martyrs together.

A Beautiful Farewell Scene

The trailer does not simply show Ali Bey’s death—it gives him a symbolic farewell filled with spiritual imagery.

Dressed in white, Ali Bey walks through open fields and rivers alongside his fallen soldiers, leading them one final time like a commander guiding his army.

Ulubatlı Hasan greets him warmly, welcoming him among the martyrs.

Ali Bey then tells his soldiers that their journey is not ending but beginning anew through martyrdom.

These scenes are deeply symbolic and reflect the spiritual themes often present in Ottoman historical storytelling.

The Akıncı Mourning Tradition

Back in the Ottoman camp, Ali Bey’s soldiers honor him through traditional mourning rituals.

Members of the:

Akıncı

free his horse and cut portions of their hair in grief.

Historically, such acts symbolized respect and mourning for a fallen commander.

The trailer strongly suggests that Ali Bey’s farewell will become one of the most memorable scenes in the series.

Zaganos Pasha’s Tragic Fate

The episode also prepares viewers for another heartbreaking departure.

In previous episodes, Zaganos Pasha was exposed to plague-infected blood during the campaign.

Since there was no effective cure for plague during the 15th century, survival chances were extremely low.

The trailer shows:

• Mehmed II
• Zaganos Pasha

sitting together alone in a forest.

Rather than a ruler and advisor, the scene feels like a student saying goodbye to the mentor who helped shape his life.

Reports from behind the scenes also suggest that both Ali Bey and Zaganos Pasha have already filmed their final scenes.

The News Reaches Sultan Mehmed

One of the trailer’s most emotional moments occurs when:

Bali Bey

enters Sultan Mehmed’s tent with tears in his eyes.

Mehmed immediately senses something is wrong and asks about Ali Bey.

Bali Bey then confirms the devastating truth:

Ali Bey has returned to the mercy of Allah.

The reaction inside the tent is silent and heavy.

Important Ottoman leaders, including:

• Mahmud Pasha Angelović
• Ishak Pasha

appear completely shattered by the news.

Mehmed’s Rage Grows Stronger

Although Sultan Mehmed is clearly grieving, the trailer shows that his pain quickly transforms into determination.

Standing before his Janissary soldiers, he delivers a powerful speech declaring that once Turkish patience ends, their wrath will destroy everything before them.

The army responds with chants of:

“Allahu Akbar.”

This moment signals that the Ottoman campaign against Vlad and his allies is about to enter an even darker and more violent stage.

The Emotional Weight of Episode 80

Episode 80 appears to focus heavily on sacrifice and loss.

For Sultan Mehmed, the deaths of trusted companions represent more than military losses. They are personal wounds suffered during one of the hardest campaigns of his reign.

The trailer emphasizes a painful reality:

Even the greatest rulers cannot protect everyone they love.
