[The Elusive Samurai] I’m not getting a territory from this guy.

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

It’s frustrating to be looked down upon…

The move trying to become the Hojo position in Kamakura is really stand out…

It’s frustrating… I guess there’s no need to work myself to death…

After all, it is the army of my weak brother.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a historical site nearby where these guys were massacred.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Someone who only realizes at the moment of death that they were just a deluded person riding on the coattails of Takauji’s greatness.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

The treatment of villains in later generations is much worse than that of Hojo.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

As long as Yoshimitsu keeps winning, it’s not a problem to be the disliked number 2.

Hey… why are you suddenly losing…?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was only doing moves to become Hojo Mk-II.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Despite being a Bando warrior, saying things like “Kanto forces are over!”…

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Everyone betrays too easily…

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

The attempt to tear apart and eliminate brotherly bonds is too obvious.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

“Let’s all believe because the ‘Taiheiki’ strongly asserts it.”

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like the ending is messy, almost as if it’s a sudden exit due to the actors’ convenience in a drama; that’s the kind of abrupt departure that the Takai clan faces.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

Niki te

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Was Mk-II a Gundam term…?

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

After all, despite being in the position of a butler, they began to grow arrogant and started to domineer over the master.

The reputation from those around me was the worst…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Takauji army was considered a villain because there was a time when they rebelled against Emperor Godaigo’s new government and became enemies of the court.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

I can’t understand the conversation.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It feels like the end of the world where yesterday’s enemy is today’s friend.

The Edo period came after overcoming the post-apocalyptic Southern and Northern Dynasties and their influences.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The survival of the clan is the top priority, so in this situation, we can’t afford to talk about obligations or anything like that…

That aside, it seems that Takakuni was disliked.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I thought it was a rather ridiculous development to thwart someone’s fighting spirit with cosplay, but it turns out there was a proper source for it.

If the Taiheiki says so, then it can’t be helped…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Somehow, though, Yoshitsugu also retreats and escapes to Kyushu.

After that, they made a comeback and achieved re-entry into Kyoto; the changes in the situation are dizzying…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original source of the story about historical heroes gathering to fight was the Taiheiki, huh…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hmm, I think it would have been better to stay the same as in the Kamakura period, right?

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When I thought the Kamakura Shogunate was destroyed and the era of the imperial court had finally arrived.

Rather, the Ashikaga family’s warrior class (mostly aligned with Toshinao) ruthlessly plunders and embezzles from the noble families.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If you have goodwill and favor, there will be people who follow and protect you even when you lose.

Having no popularity and only garnering resentment, I was left with no choice but to die.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s impossible to treat the Taiheiki as historical fact…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why are Prince Shotoku and Zao Gongen coming? It makes no sense at all.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Kamakura shogunate was defeated by the famous coalition forces, including Ashikaga Takauji, Nitta Yoshisada, and Kusunoki Masashige.

Later, due to various events including the tyranny of the Takauke, Yoshimitsu became an enemy of the court and ended up fighting against Nitta Yoshisada and Kusunoki Masashige.

The fleeing youth, Hojo Tokiyuki, was a descendant of the Hojo clan, the shikken of the Kamakura shogunate, and planned to restore it.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

But Yoshitsugu trusts the threads so much that he calls them “one heart and one body.”

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I couldn’t help but laugh because it was like a firebird suddenly sprouted out of “Let’s believe!”

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

However, you see…

The Taiheiki is a valuable historical document that records the Nanboku-chō period, one of the few that do so…

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

That said, if the Taiheiki is deemed unacceptable, there are hardly any reliable historical sources left.

Let’s believe!

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was shown in this week’s cover illustration, but we’re about to surpass the number of chapters of Neuro soon.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

I dislike the serious Yoshitomo’s younger brother.

I dislike those who act condescendingly despite being just a butler even more.

Easy to understand

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s amazing how the enemy that was so disliked in this manga becomes a proper ally and shows charm.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It ended up like Misuzu Gakuen, which was not good.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is written that way in the Taiheiki as well.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this the end, Mr. Nao?

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

After this, I told the defeated Takak brothers, “Why are you still alive after losing? It’s disgraceful.”

“To the person who comes to receive their reward after winning the battle, we say, ‘How dare you! Go home!'”

Aren’t you scared?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I surrendered, but you’re messing with me, die, and it’s a massacre of the whole clan, right?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are records from the Nanboku-chō period really that sparse…?

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Hōjō did engage in usurpation, but they were properly managing politics.

This is the home of the wife of Minamoto no Yoritomo, and the actual mother of the second and third shoguns.

What is the Takakaya family? Isn’t that just the house steward of the Ashikaga family?

Why are you acting so tough? You deserve to die! It’s unavoidable.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

After this, it properly states that what is really important is that there was that much difference in morale.

The author knows too.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

As for the dark elf themselves, I wonder if their sons will forgive?

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

I won’t be greedy, but I would like historical materials like Gyoyou even during this season.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

However, when it comes to the Nanboku-chō period, there are aspects similar to the Taiheiki.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can I execute Takashi Naoshi?

Sonzhi: “It’s okay!”

Executed.

Sōji: “Where are you being executed? Don’t mess with me!”

Wasn’t it like this?

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When comparing with other historical materials and literature, it becomes clear that it’s not something as simple as the Taiheiki…

Especially the conflict between Toki Yoshinobu and Toki Masanobu, when dug into, leads to the issue of the Uesugi family, the maternal family of the brothers Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Toki Yoshinobu, and the Takeda family, who served the Ashikaga clan.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The famous anecdotes are mostly based on the Taiheiki.

If the story gets interesting, there’s no reason not to pick it up, right?

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If we just skip everything suspicious in the Taiheiki like this, we won’t get anywhere.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, it was somewhat of a “what is this guy?” treatment towards Nobuyoshi.

That’s why there are many powerful clans siding with Yoshitsugu and the Takahashi family.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

This Torchic is simply too unfriendly in terms of personality.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

The power struggles among the high-ranking officials themselves are quite common too.

But somehow… the scale seems off, doesn’t it?

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The battles are super strong, and the land dispute adjudication progresses swiftly.

I’m going to stick with the Takahashi brothers! It’s not strange at all for a samurai to do this.

From the perspective of the Ashikaga clan, it’s also understandable that they might harbor resentment over why you’re the one in charge.

It’s a natural flow, isn’t it?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even with this, thanks to the manga in the thread, the rumors have settled down…

The Loyal Retainers of Ako…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

It is said that Prince Shōtoku also adorned Buddhist statues and went out to the battlefield.

The history of cosplay is deep.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Kazuhira didn’t die in battle, huh?

Speaking of which, samurai from this era tend to surrender quite easily, don’t they?

Is the idea of fighting until death from a later era?

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t like this guy because he burned down Hachiyama in my hometown.

I dislike Lord Kenge’s younger brother, who has taken refuge, as well as Lord Kasuga.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

The foolish outcome of capable producers who have continued since ancient times, becoming overconfident and facing backlash leading to their downfall.

An example of that.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, they have also dug up the tomb of Prince Shotoku and looted the gold…

Moreover, it’s rare that it can be confirmed with primary sources.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

They were actually strong, which is why they were able to pull off the unpopular moves.

Once you lose, that’s just the inevitable outcome.

It’s probably difficult for a boss to save a subordinate who is disliked.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The Uesugi sons have just the right character to torture and kill Masanari…

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing that letters from people back then are still left if you look for them.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

The blizzard was beautiful, I’m glad it died.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

This era is really terrible, after all…

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oops, that’s a bit awkward.

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The arrogant No. 2 is surrounded by everyone and beaten.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

If anything, Go-Daigo was normally strict with the nobles, which led the nobles to side with Yoshimitsu.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ah, I never wanted to kill anyone! My subordinate did it on their own!

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nakanokimi is doing his job well, but the term “tyranny” fits Mori-naru perfectly…

117: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This commentary on the manga is similar, in that it often uses the excuse that “the Taiheiki has many embellishments compared to other historical records, but the fact that it’s written this way suggests that there must have been such impressions, right?”

It might sound harsh to say it’s a fact, but…

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When depicted in a manga, even absurd stories don’t seem so strange.

When it’s explained that “this is how it is in the Taiheiki,” then…

Hmm, I see. Is it really up to interpretation? I find myself agreeing with that.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

People who lived during this time and seemed to have recorded the rumors.

I was probably thinking, “No way, this seems like a lie,” while I was recording it.

It might be more accurate to record exactly what I heard.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Taiheiki is not necessarily such a record because it was written by multiple authors over different periods.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Taiheiki is basically a historical document that overly praises Takauji, right?
