[The Elusive Samurai] Taira no Yoshitsugu, enraged after the assassination of his loyal retainer.

Otaku Review Image

It is said that Takaie was accustomed to the assassination of Masanobu.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:16Yeahx36

Puff puff

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:17

Not really angry…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:20Yeahx17

>>3Because it’s something I approved myself…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:20

Is it really okay to push someone away aggressively while being angry about the assassination?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:25Yeahx17

Well, if I were really that angry, I would probably put it in an easier position to protect.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:27Yeahx1

If we don’t deal with MasterNao over there, there’s a chance he might come back…
Like Go-Daigo.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:28

I didn’t do anything, but an intruder just died on their own! God!

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:31

It feels like even though I didn’t wish to be a target for purging at that time, it somehow came true.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:42Yeahx10

>>9It’s only reasonable for this to happen at the point when it’s wrapped in go-sho.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:32

This guy.Terrible.

Calm down, and I also pray for your heart; the ritual of judgment delves into the heart. Crossing over, history has conveniently formed around Yoshimitsu. If I pray to countless deities, they might treat my words favorably and reduce my tears accordingly.

This guy.
Terrible.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:44Yeahx2

>>10This is indeed a serious misinterpretation of the song’s meaning.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:46Yeahx8

>>12That is the overall concept of the young lord.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:45Yeahx1

Is it really okay for the image of Yoshisada to get more and more creepy, even though everyone is doing various things like true heroes?

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:48Yeahx6

Well, alongside Go-Daigo, it was Yoshimitsu who was the most chaotic individual in Japanese history.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:14Yeahx1

>>16Why are these guys appearing at the same time…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:16Yeahx1

>>85Rather, it seems that the meeting of chaos and chaos has resulted in a synergy that has made things worse.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:15Yeahx1

>>16Why are you selecting two people from the same era?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:49Yeahx6

There is no reason to spare the top of the house that has come to eliminate Yoshi and is now targeting me, as it is becoming a revival of the Hojo family.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:49

If we don’t bring down the enemy, our allies won’t rise.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:50

There’s only a bad ending route, but I wonder how it will end.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:50Yeahx2

My allies aren’t doing well either…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:50Yeahx1

I was full of excuses and couldn’t get any responses to the survey.
If you’re not a history buff, it’s probably more popular this way, so it can’t be helped.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:53Yeahx1

>>21The survey is doing great right now.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:00

>>25I’ve gone a little overboard, and now that we’ve entered the section on the Kan’ō Disturbance, which should be the main point of history, the order of publication is starting to decline.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:51Yeahx5

It’s not really a problem if a person’s image becomes creepy, well…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:51

I think the interpretation is that the rise of Tokiyuki is primarily due to a strong sense of obligation to Suwa and that seeking revenge for Suwa is his main goal.
Setting aside Go-Daigo and Nitta, the reason for surrendering and aiming for Takauji is quite unreasonable.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:51Yeahx3

It seems like making this guy the protagonist would make the story more interesting.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:53Yeahx2

>>24So, the Northern and Southern Courts period stories basically revolve around Ashikaga Takauji.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:55Yeahx5

>>24It’s too incomprehensible, making it difficult to read…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:56Yeahx9

>>29Let’s watch! The Taiheiki!
It’s a bold work that tries to push through the incomprehensibility of Yoshitsune with the lead actor’s facial power!

209: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:36

>>32Did you manage to push through?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:53Yeahx3

Historically, the image of Yoshisada has always been pretty creepy…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:55

>>26I can’t understand what the traitorous bastard who has no respect for the court is thinking; he’s just a changed traitorous bastard.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:54Yeahx6

I feel like there are probably more people reading this manga without knowing the history, so it’s understandable that the protagonist’s part receives more votes.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:56Yeahx1

Among Niki, Shiba, and Hosokawa, only Shiba stands out as exceptional.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:56

>>31Therefore, he was reluctant to take on the work of the kanreii, which involved serving the family.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:57Yeahx4

It’s just that the only readers of the jump are fujoshi, so the ratings for Yoshitsune’s return are dropping and it’s finished.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:58Yeahx1

I love historical topics like this song and the mounted warrior statue.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)18:58Yeahx1

Since there are more depictions that feel like the plot has warped when it’s the main character, Yoshimitsu…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:00

A decade of actions not coming forth without any particular reason…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:02

I only dislike one of my sons.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:03Yeahx4

To be honest, making Takauji the protagonist means we have to compete with existing masterpieces, which makes it even more challenging.
All things considered, Taiheiki is renowned as a masterpiece, and there are many other historical novels featuring Yoshisada as the main character, so it’s a tough road.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:04Yeahx3

I find myself more excited about the theory of Ashikaga Takauji being Antonio Inoki, which some unnamed people occasionally grumble about, rather than reading about the runaways.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:14Yeahx1

>>46Minamoto no Yoshitomo established the Kamakura Shogunate at Ryōgoku, which is Japanese professional wrestling.
Ashikaga Takauji is Inoki, and the Muromachi Shogunate is New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
It’s a new theory that has a mysterious persuasive power.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:22

>>82Nanboku-chō Deathmatch

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:23

>>82Wasn’t it Yoritomo’s shogunate after Yoshimitsu’s shogunate?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:05Yeahx2

The character of Ashikaga Takauji in “Taiheiki” has an impressive figure that resembles a traditional protagonist, as he accomplishes everything he did in “Taiheiki”.
In the final episode, the depth of understanding towards Yoshitsune, who reflects on all the people he has killed and says, “Now, there are no enemies or allies, we all lived together,” is amazing.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:09Yeahx1

>>47It’s all about those who do what they want.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:06

Recently, protagonists who are completely outrageous are in vogue, so the concept of “Escape Young” feels somewhat outdated.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:07

The only charm I feel for Waka is that she is cute.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:07Yeahx5

I thought that the combination of the Northern and Southern Dynasties theme and a pure-hearted child hero is a bad match.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:08Yeahx5

>>50Even though the main character is the Hojo family in a chaotic era, it would be impossible to try and do something like that…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:07Yeahx1

It’s going to be canceled soon anyway.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:09

Will we end up teaming up with the thread image? I would really like that.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:11

>>54The nameless one may embellish the story amusingly, but Tsunetomo, who descended to the Southern Court, was quickly betrayed, so there is no timing for the Southern Court to take military action.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:09

I think it’s a bit questionable to portray Yoshitsune’s greatness as some kind of divine power.
I want it to feel like it’s still amazing even without divine power.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:10

The original has no charm or elegance at all.
A person who irritated Yoshimitsu with their earthy persistence.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:11

Portraying someone who was originally a supporting character in history as the protagonist and depicting the era is something that has been done in large historical dramas as well.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:11Yeahx4

Well, the Takara brothers did the Goshomaki after all…

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:12Yeahx2

>>66From this point onward, all the steward leaders, up to Hosokawa Yoriyuki, will fall from power, so the Gosho roll isn’t really related to that.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:12Yeahx5

Those who like Neuro enjoy the Nobuhiro part.
Those who like Assassination Classroom love the protagonist’s parts.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:12

Honestly, I prefer when Waka is being pushed by Yoshitsune.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:12Yeahx3

To be frank, it seems like Yoshimitsu has started to look like a human sacrifice to maintain the era of the gods lately.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:14Yeahx1

>>72God is exaggerating, but in reality, Yoshimitsu also acted thoroughly as a representative of the samurai’s position.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:15Yeahx1

>>72It seems like this week there’s a gap with the real Yoshimitsu that’s about to burst, and it actually feels like that’s the flow of things.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:18

>>90I was quite shaken by the death of the Takahashi brothers, and when I heard that story, I thought the scenario was really well done.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:12Yeahx3

Well, I don’t think the author is very interested in creating a shota protagonist that they personally prefer, named after Hojo Tokiyuki.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:13

It’s already been 20 volumes… It doesn’t feel like it at all.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:16Yeahx1

>>78“They said it wouldn’t end even after 200 episodes!”

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:14

If you’re saying that the serious historical part didn’t get a reaction, that’s one thing, but if it’s clearly drawn in a strange way and still doesn’t get a reaction, then that’s to be expected…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:14

It’s disappointing that, despite the anime being incredibly well-made, the sales of the manga didn’t increase.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:14Yeahx1

Compared to Kingdom, I think the fleeing young prince is more in line with historical facts.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:16Yeahx2

While there is a supervising teacher involved, to be honest, I don’t really want to introduce “Nige Waka” as a historical manga to people.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:16

You have to go back to around the Showa period to find masterpieces from the Nanboku-chō period.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:17

>>97The historical drama is from the Heisei era, and it just won an award recently, plus there’s the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the North.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:17

The Annals of the Yoshino Era features Masayoshi Kusunoki as the main character.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:17

Isn’t it that there are no masterpieces depicting this era in manga?

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:17Yeahx1

Kensho Kitahara has written many during this era.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:17

Isn’t it harder to find works from the Northern and Southern Courts that the Jump readership has read?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:17

It feels like the online otaku would be happier with Hojo Tokiyuki, who continuously clings to Yoshitsune, but I’m not sure if it would lead to a hit.
It’s difficult to handle protagonists who are the “bad guy” type.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:18Yeahx2

>>103The author has already said that even if the internet otaku are happy, it didn’t lead to a hit at all…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:18

Without gaining any significant popularity, what was this manga doing for 200 episodes?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:19

>>105No, no, it must have reached around 5 million copies issued…
I thought about it, but I didn’t say it.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:22

>>110As of January, it’s 4.5 million, so isn’t it going up now?

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:23

>>121If I said that, there will definitely be an announcement, so I think it hasn’t reached yet.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:19

>>105It’s probably continuing because it has a decent level of popularity.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:18

It feels like Takauji played the lead role in the chaotic stage set by Go-Daigo.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:19Yeahx1

The grown young person lacks charm.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:19

>>108It’s not ripe enough to eat yet.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:19Yeahx2

It feels like there’s not enough strength to portray the winning side as the villain in a historical story.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:19

I don’t know about the historical records, but there are hardly any characters left on Tokiyuki’s side, and since concrete discussions about the subjugation of Tokiyuki are likely to come out next week, is this almost the final chapter?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:20

The contrast between the first episode, which beautifully depicts the chaos of the late Kamakura period, and the second episode, where the wild boar battle begins, was honestly quite terrible.
I thought this manga would become an unparalleled masterpiece when I saw it with my uncle at the Godaikin.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:21Yeahx1

>>114Jump is unparalleled, so it gets cancelled quickly, leaving no room to become a masterpiece.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:20

Isn’t it a typical Jump mid-tier manga?
The fact that circulation numbers are not increasing is not limited to the fleeing youth.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:21

It’s a manga with high defensive power that the author himself mentioned in the past; its content is stable, so it’s the type that won’t be canceled.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:21

A useless being that only fills the same promotional space as Andera.
An entity that hinders the metabolism of serialization.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:21

I don’t know the original story, but in the end, who wins between Tokiyuki and Yoshimitsu?

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:22

>>119Please understand from the fact that Tokiyuki does not appear in the epic.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:22

>>119Start studying again from elementary school.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:23

>>125Time won’t come out.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:21

Divine power is just too weak as a hook for historical stories.
It’s okay to have a normal affection for Suwa and hatred for Ashikaga, who destroyed Suwa.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:22

>>120The setting of that divine power feels vague and lacks any gimmicks that would create the excitement typical of shonen manga, which might not be very good.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:22Yeahx1

It’s a bit tough to get excited and blush at the sight of their grown-up self.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:22

The reason why Waka is attached to Yoshimitsu is that even if they say it’s a “divine power that will destroy the world,” I can’t really get on board with that.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:23

It would have been a masterpiece if it had been made into a unique character instead of using divine power.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:23Yeahx1

The portrayal of Go-Daigo by Takao Kataoka in the historical drama “Taiga” is so cool that it’s understandable that Ashikaga Takauji admires him.
The traitor who never betrays, Judge-sama, brings healing.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:25Yeahx3

I think opinions that something isn’t selling or isn’t popular are off the mark, as they raise the standards for what it means to sell or be popular too high.
That being said, compared to the excitement of expecting great works from the writer Yusei Matsui, such as the incredible first and second chapters, I can’t shake the feeling that the current situation has settled into a somewhat plain state.
It’s really amazing that they managed to depict the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Jump and make it a solid hit.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:26

There was a sense of godly monstrosity that was still incomprehensible during the time of brainwashing with saliva.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:26

Even Neuro had 4.5 million copies sold in volume 23, so you can consider that it has roughly the same level of popularity as Neuro.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:28

It’s being drawn poorly! It’s rushed, but…
Even the historical Kusunoki Masashige was an asshole who betrayed the Kamakura Shogunate and Emperor Go-Daigo, plunging the world into war.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:28

>>155The Kamakura shogunate and the Kenmu regime were both useless and couldn’t do anything during that time.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:30

>>157The Taiheiki justifies the Ashikaga power by putting it that way.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:30

>>164The Taiheiki is a work that leans towards the Southern Court.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:31

>>164That is the ume-matsu theory.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:30Yeahx2

>>155When asked who did more to damage Japan between Emperor Go-Daigo and Ashikaga Takauji, I regret to say it was the former…

172: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:31

>>163Yes, yes.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:31

>>155What’s wrong with fighting wars in the Middle Ages?

158: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:29

Recently, what I’ve been thinking about Matsui-sensei is that the cup Gekka ramen is delicious, I get it…something like that.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:29

I think Matsui Yusei is an amazing writer.
It’s not normal to keep getting serialized after avoiding cancellation three times in a row in Jump.
So after retiring, I want them to publish a book again about life hacks to avoid being canceled in Jump.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:29

Time really flies; am I already in my thirties?

165: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)19:30

>>161Sister… or maybe older lady?
