The principal coalition commanders did not share the same fate after defeat. Malik Ayyaz's caution and prisoner policy helped him preserve Diu and live until 1522. Amir Husayn escaped the battle and later recovered some standing, but was murdered in the Red Sea by his Turkish second-in-command as Ottoman power turned against the Mamluk sultanate. Their outcomes reinforce how local survival, imperial service, and shifting regional power mattered beyond the result of a single battle.
