Looking at the scene where Sekiro kills him, it seems like the context, voice lines, and animations of the characters suggest that SS Isshin was supposed to stab himself with his sword (hence the guttural shout) and then get beheaded by Sekiro rather than… sitting up aggressively and getting half of his neck chopped. This seeming censorship is also in keeping with the cutscene in the Shura ending where Fromsoft couldn’t show Owl holding Genichiro’s severed head.
