At least they went out like absolute badasses.


Not sure how I feel about that Natsu lookalike character that was introduced at the last minute though.

Some Japanese historians think that Takeda Katsuyori's final mistake was his choice to flee towards Oyamada instead of following Sanada Masayuki back to Iwabitsu Castle. While it's true that Sanada Masayuki was beset by bandits along the way, that's because he returned with less than 50 retainers. The remaining Takeda loyalists at Shinpu numbered over 500 and would have steamrolled any bandit gang trying to attack them. Masayuki was the flat-out greatest strategist of his era and was the father of the greatest of the next generation, the legendary Sanada Nobushige (Yukimura).

Shinpu Castle was burned on March 3, 1582 and Honno-ji would happen on June 23 of the same year. Sanada Masayuki was the absolute greatest siege defender of his era, repeatedly defending his Ueda Castle, each time for months on end, against enemies five to twenty times his numbers. His most likely opponent would have been Takigawa Kazumasu, the illustrious Oda retainer mostly famous today for being the birth father of Maeda Keiji, capable but nowhere near a match for the Sanada.

If Katsuyori had escaped to Iwabitsu at this time, he may well have survived to see the breakup of the Oda and the death of the traitor Anayama (killed in the hunt for survivors after Honno-ji). He would have had a chance to restore the Takeda's control over Kai as historically the samurai of Kai rebelled against the occupying Oda force right after Honno-ji and supported the Hojo clan.

I love that this manga can convey so much weight or emotion in just one or two pages. Absolutely phenomenal.

 

[Harouki]

Is it bad that when those two were saying goodbye it sounded like

“Farewell, asshole”
“Bye, jackass”

But in a totally affectionate way?

Also Katsuyori has a type

Katsuyori... o7

If you don't have the level of toxic yaoi friendship akin to Ken and Katsuyori, is it befitting to be called as 'friendship' yet?
