Honestly? Given the guy's whole philosophy is "One strike. Only need ONE strike to win" and he already had to swing more than once?Look I don’t have anything clever to say, I just want Yasuke to win, alright. Narratively and power-levels-wise he’s gonna lose to someone eventually I’m sure but I’d really prefer him not losing to this one-note chucklefuck. Yasuke got his flashback later so he’s probably winning.
Yasuke is gonna win because I wished for it. My delusions cannot fail me!Look I don’t have anything clever to say, I just want Yasuke to win, alright.

You were right, gentleness isn't naivety. By throwing every part of yourself to became blade, you aren't going far.I like a good "blade" as anyone but in a philosophical sense... I learned in my life to respect the "shield" much more.
As impressive as it is to shave from yourself to become something "more", it isn't exactly a path of compassion... quite the contrary, it is a path of pure selfishness, Yasuke took the despair of his past to turn into a force to protect... is he protecting the right people, a question beyond me.
But this obsession with the power to only destroy what is in front of you... not my jam, bub.
Between the crazy bastard that became a sword and only sees as an instrument of killing, and the man trying to nurture a more gentle future... to me, the choice isn't hard.
That talk about how gentle leaders only lead to suffering is what egotistical fucks say to justify their shit, gentleness isn't naivety.
Fellow Shinobi no Kuni enjoyer spotted. I second the recommendation, it's really fun.Also. if you're curious about Nobukatsu's Ise misadventure I'd highly recommend the Shinobi no Kuni manga. Probably not the most historically accurate but a lot of fun to read.
