well that was depressing, but not exactly unexpected. ryumon had it coming by not rebelling against taira all these time. what did he expect from a guy who execute people for the most minor thing anyway? taira even killed the loyal officials right in front of his face (or not, since he was kneeling)

 

[gustavonerdz]

damn that escalated quickly

 

[totallytotally]

So a timeskip next?

Ryumon is loyal to the nation, killing off the Taira would destablize the country by alot, potentially inviting the other nations to step in and take chunks of the unstable Yamato. Ryumon still could have done so, but it would have to be a long and meticulous process of trying to find a way to smoothly fill in the power vacuum left behind by the Taira and preventing other nations to intervene.

Not only that if they actively rebelling against Taira's army the border security will break down when the coup become a long fight. Seii and Buou will take the chance at the same time and pinch Ryuumon's army while the main Yamato army is also weakened by the rebellion.

I see this logic, but ultimately it was his choice to be loyal to a Taira-controlled nation. He could always ally himself with other nations or stage a silent coup (assassinate the Taira top brass). Or he could even break out to form his own country. In the end, what he had done was sacrificing all the good people who followed him as well as Seii's civilians for Taira's expansion (and prolonging the suffering of the Yamato people ruled by them).

 

[Prophetie]

Am I the only one sad that the war was basically skipped? It was a nice plan, shame that we don't get to see it in action

 

[Redska]

Lmao they over discuss details of relatively important things and glossed over a shit ton of important events.

 

[Nicromatic]

Guess this is now last arc...?
Feel like author couldn't figure out how to flesh out all the in-between details.
And Buo didn't really take the chance to try to invade Yamato when they went on an all-out attack on Sei all the way to the capital?

Peakkkk

About the author skipping some events and just sticking to the main plot, I honestly felt the same way—I really wished they had expanded on those parts. But since it’s his first arc, I think it’s totally fair. Plus, I read that he’s doing everything solo with no assistants, so he's handling both the writing and the art entirely on his own.

Also, regarding the Bu army, don't forget that they aren't just stationed at the border; they have their own independent army under Taira’s command, just like they mentioned in the anime.

Just caught up until this chapter which is the latest one translated to English. I guess this will be where the anime ends. Shame that the war with Seii wasn't shown with both the ambush in Oda and the invasion. I feel like there should have been more to this, but I guess this first arc is more of a setup for the next part. I honestly want to read more but the manga is unfortunately not licensed so we'll just have to wait for fan TLs.

Welp there goes my hope for Ohga, what a sad and tragic end. And personally, a little bit unsatisfactory too. I agree that there's too much stuff is skipped here and it's pretty disappointing.

I knew Taira is cooking something insidious but not to this extent, holy shit. I thought they're gonna slow down a bit after last chapter and enter a transition moment for a while, not for couple pages
