[The Elusive Samurai] Not weak.


Otaku Review Image

In Ueno Province, Nitta Yoshisada, who was a comrade of Takauji Ashikaga, was feeling lost. He had no idea about the situation in Kyoto.

?

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:04Yeahx7

It is the pinnacle among those born in the Nitta household.
Since I was born in the Nitta family, no one listens to me.
I lost.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:06

This guy can block Sadamune’s arrows with a sword…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:08

Perhaps because he is an ancestor of Ieyasu, he was relatively elevated since the Edo period.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:09Yeahx4

>>4It’s not an ancestor of Ieyasu…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:24Yeahx2

>>6I was told it’s not okay to try.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:08

How about the way you die?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:09

The way I left was dramatic, but isn’t that a bit too much?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:17

>>7It’s already pointless since I was robbed by Katowaka.
I’m such a fool that I can’t even judge properly, and I ended up dying with my sword broken at the last moment…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:18

>>7In this era, as long as you keep the family’s bloodline, everything else will somehow work out.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:16

?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:17

There is strength.
There is also charisma.
No intelligence.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:19

It was Yoshishige who stole the sword…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:50

>>12They just swapped it; they didn’t steal it.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:30

Given that it’s Nitta, it did pretty well considering they have no say in the matter.
The family status and the individual’s ability are not in harmony.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:31Yeahx4

Since death is certain, rather if the sword is good… there might even be a follow-up.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:32

In history class, they are celebrated as heroes for overthrowing the Kamakura shogunate, but they died carelessly in a situation unrelated to the historical event? That’s what I thought.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:36Yeahx3

>>15Ashikaga is really cold-blooded, isn’t he?
That already means cutting it off bluntly and picking up something else.
Nitta Yoshisada aimed to establish the Hokuriku dynasty while being angry.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:22

>>16It would be impossible in a place like that countryside…

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:32

>>22There are no other options; even if I bow my head to Ashikaga now, it won’t be acceptable for appearances’ sake.
I had no choice but to try, but it didn’t work out, so I died.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:36

>>29There should have been a bit more space; it’s not a place like Echizen where country folks seem unlikely to acquire land or money.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:41Yeahx2

>>32That is just ignorance.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:35

>>22Echizen was a large country with a high rice yield at that time.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:38

>>31It was a good location at a reasonable distance from Kyoto, wasn’t it?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:39

If we wanted to, we could have created a third dynasty, not just a northern and southern court.
So I was seriously attacked.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)16:48

If it was a prestigious family, they would have been more active.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:13

Aren’t Ashikaga and Nitta on bad terms?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:14

I powered through and died carelessly.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:20Yeahx8

>>20It is the everyday scenery of history.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:32

>>21It’s much better than suddenly dying without having accomplished anything…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:25

There are people who have made a living by painting their descendants.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:27

The descendants will eventually be able to live by selling used straw sandals, so this becomes a tremendously comic-like divine power.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:29

The descendants did not lend the family tree to Ieyasu, and as a result…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:32Yeahx5

>>26You’re great, aren’t you?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:45

>>26Iwamatsu claims to be a descendant.
Originally, they are descendants of the first daughter of the Nitta family, but after the Taiheiki became famous, they started claiming that they were actually a child of Yoshisada who was adopted by the Iwamatsu family!

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:51

>>37Still, wasn’t he formally recognized as the successor by the Muromachi shogunate?
That’s why Ieyasu probably made a request too.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:54

>>42It was simply acknowledged that now the Iwamatsu family will take over as the legitimate line of the Nitta family because the Yoshisada line has disappeared; it does not mean that they recognized themselves as descendants of Yoshisada.
The story that Ieyasu tried to borrow a family tree was something the Iwamatsu family brought up after the Meiji era.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:59

>>44It should have existed in the Edo period.
Whether true or false

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:34

It was terrible that I was already checkmated when I got on the horse with Gōda.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:37

Isn’t it terrible that the script is so disjointed that theories about Nitta Yoshisada being an idiot or Ashikaga Takauji having schizophrenia have become one of many interpretations?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:39

>>33That’s why it hasn’t been chosen much as a subject for creative works until now.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:49

The thread image is basic? But I like that it occasionally says sharp things.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:51

Nitta is suspicious, but since the time he was designated as an enemy of the state, my family has been proudly claiming to be descendants of Kusunoki Masashige! Kusunoki Masatora of the Kusunoki clan would say… if someone like you says it, then it must be true.
Ultimately, it’s too hardcore to go as far as to lift the designation of enemy of the state from Masashige Kusunoki and rename him to Masataka Kusunoki.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:53

This person’s shrine was right next to the company.
I don’t know what this person did.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:54

It gives the impression of someone who’s bad at timing.
If anything, the whole family feels that way.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:54

They were treated as rivals to the Ashikaga, being from the same Seiwa Genji line! However, recently they are often regarded with a drop in status, as if to say, “Wasn’t the Nitta in the late Kamakura period a subordinate of the Ashikaga?”

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:56

Iwamatsu’s house has not been told that it’s okay to use a single circle with the Nitta clan’s emblem as a flag.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:57

Huh? It wasn’t Nitta Yoshisada who captured Kamakura.
It’s the allied forces of Ashikaga Senjuō and Nitta Yoshisada, right?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/20(火)17:59

Calling someone a traitor is unreasonable, you know, Yoshimitsu-chan.
