11:25 This does not mean that Takauji ordered them to commit suicide; rather, they chose an honorable death, realizing their defeat and preferring it over falling into the hands of the enemy. This story is fictional, but based on real events, and the location actually exists as the historical site "Toshoji-ruins (ji=temple) ."
I am Japanese. And I live in Kamakura, the setting of this anime. Near my house is the ruins of a temple where the Hojo family committed suicide. Believe it or not, this actually happened in Japan. I would be happy if everyone became interested in Japanese history through this anime.
After watching the manga, I became interested in the story of the hojo family and learned about it. I think Cloverworks will bring everyone a more interesting historical story.
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that they didn't explain the background of why this happened. It was a time when even Japanese people found it difficult to understand. Every country has a history. And if you don't see it from the beginning, you won't understand the story. I'm a history geek, so I get the gist.
@@yoshizakijunpei7541 That's right, I read the first chapter of the manga and a series of questions appeared in my mind so I put the manga aside and searched for information about Hojo's family. Information about the Hojo family in Vietnam is extremely limited. I have to search for documents in English or Japanese.
@@aoichan2269 Thank you for your wonderful remarks. If it's available online, I recommend reading Taiheiki first. If that is difficult, you may want to read Wikipedia from Emperor Go-Toba to Emperor Go-Komatsu.
Btw dont look up the names of these characters, you'll get spoiled about the events that might happen in the future. Most of these are real people that existed during that time just like vinland saga characters.
One question, is our MC's name and the guy who betrayed are the same? And in the starting when the narrator explaining about a hero with a similar name right?, is it our mc or the guy betrayed us. Please explain without spoiler ✨✨✨🙏🏻
@@g.e2941 The "Ashikaga Takauji" mentioned by the narrator at the beginning of this story is the name of the man who betrayed , not the name of the protagonist of this story. The name "Ashikaga Takauji" appears in most Japanese elementary school history textbooks, so he is a well-known military commander to the Japanese. However, the protagonist, Hojo Tokiyuki, is not as well known. Probably, many Japanese, except for history buffs, had never heard of him until the comic strip "The Elusive Samurai" became popular.
The martial arts instructors were the guys who were chasing Tokiyuki in the first half of the story, his teachers. The shoguate vessel was the father of Kiyoko, the girl who wanted to marry Tokiyuki, and the girl that was violated... Is Kiyoko :'((
Suwa in Shinano Province is where I was born. The Suwa clan served as military commanders and as priests at Suwa Taisha Shrine, which is still located in Suwa today. Such is the background to Yorishige's holy power. I really enjoyed watching your reaction video.
@@shizuku131Yeah, tbh i didn't expect they even show that severed heads on the sword, i can't wait for my boy Yuki Sanjuro to upscale the gore level in this show lol
I just spoiled myself by looking at Wikipedia online but apparently the real tokiyuki gets beheaded?😭 Will the manga be different? Ah nevermind I'll check out the manga later
Damnnn! That turned dark real quick! 9.10, my face too! 9.31 guy got Sukuna’d 😮 Really liking this though: the style of the anime, music and that outro lol. The priest has Gojo's VA, and Michael has a Gojo top on, what more could I want? 😁😁
1185 The Heike clan is destroyed (Tale of the Heike) 1192: Establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate. 1274, 1281: Mongol Empire invades (Ghost of Tsushima) 1333: Fall of the Kamakura Shogunate(The Elusive Samurai)
I wasn't sure on the premise, but then I saw it was Cloverworks, and I had to watch, and I'm glad I did. This series is going to be wild. Glad you're enjoying this one too.
11:20 Someone probably brought it up, but the part about 800 clan members ending their own lives just sounds like they decided to clock out before whatever the soldiers might have had in store for them. It was pretty clear what they were capable of. As for the wings (14:50), it feels to me like the priest is elated that he's getting his hero, rather than anything real. All conjecture here, though, haven't read anything. As for them just casually walking away from the arrows, reminds me of how Ian McShane handles a volley of arrows: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nQvSCG8gczQ.htmlsi=IUBja9xKxkPFnMyz&t=30
About 15 years ago, I went to the place where 800 members of the Hojo clan committed suicide (a temple called Tosho-ji in Kamakura). Even now, 700 years later, the temple has not been rebuilt, and it is now a lonely place surrounded by lush trees.
Hojo Tokiyuki is a real historical figure who appears in Japanese history textbooks for junior high school students. The Hojo clan, which monopolized the ruling structure of the Kamakura shogunate for generations, was the most powerful family in Japan at the time, despite its low status. Hojo Tokiyuki's great-grandfather is known as the leader who repelled the invasion of the Mongol Empire. Yorishige Suwa was the head of a clan of Shinto priests who had existed in Shinano (Nagano Prefecture) since the Archaic period, and was worshipped by the Japanese of that time as the second Living GOD after the emperor of Japan, in fact.
Thank you for the best reactions to this anime😊 I love the moment you allude to the Japanese voice actors. Japanese people do not remember well what kind of battles happened in the Nanbokucho period. Some people do not know the power structure of the Nanbokucho period. I am sure you too will be confused by the various scenes but I hope you will enjoy the anime until the end. From a Japanese fan
Succsessor of Hojo clan never got be Shogun, It's Shikken, the title of Kamakura shugunate of Hojo's. The Emperor title was used to be puppet for long time by Shogun. But Shogun title was puppet by Shikken of Hojo clan. Finally Shikken like Tokiyuki's father got to be puppet by their servant. The Ambisious Emperor Godaigo was boring puppet show, and he wanted to be a real ruler. His dream effected to Takajuji awake Muromach shugunate plannig. It was the trigger of chaotic tragedy.
Hōjō Tokiyuki is voiced by Asaki Yuikawa who also voices Mutsumi (Tonari no Yokai-san), Yuu (Trapezum), Mayumi (Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night), Rumi & NPCs (Shangri-La Frontier), Shannon (The Legendary Hero is Dead!), Marika (A Condition Called Love), Mio (Wind Breaker), Store clerk (Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included), villager (Monsters: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation), & a few more
Casuals know this adaptation as a shounen about the dude who's good at running away... But legends know about Shana Oh Yoshitsune, the legendary and one of the most distinguished samurai of Japan. The legend of Ushiwaka and Benkei, where a lot of anime referenced from and his myth of being trained by tengu because of his overwhelmingly powerful skills anf battle sense. The dude who is loyal to his cause, to his family but ultimately defeated by his own trust. Such a good piece of history sheesh. It's actually talked about here, Minamoto no Yoritomo is Yoshitsune's brother who betrayed him because all the soldiers stand with yoshitsune instead of yoritomo even though yoshitsune doesn't have any intention of being a shogun. He just have a pure heart and willingness to help his brother become the ruler. He was ultimately betrayed by his own blood out of jealousy from his talents and charisma.
This animation is based on historical figures and stories. However, the personalities and the flow of the story include many interpretations by the author, so it is not a perfectly accurate depiction of history. We hope you will enjoy it with the sense that there was a true story as close as possible!
Although this is dramatized, it is a historical fact and depicts people and events that actually played an active role. Therefore, if you study Japanese history, you will see spoilers for this anime. If you study Japanese history, prepare yourself.
Hey, everyone. I don't watch the video yet, because I'm asking if the manga and so the anime is really a must watch or not. To much thing to watch so I'm must select.
0:16 It's more like Vinland Saga than the former but since I don't watch Kingdom, I can't be so sure. More anime references on the way. 1:14 I wish. But I'm also hoping Vagabond gets picked up by ufotable. 3:20 One second he's guessing the va, next thing you know I hear Bollywood music.😅 Btw Tengen yelled like Gojo there. 7:03 Also, why couldn't they hire Rem's va from Re:Zero or even Ram? It's more fitting that way. 7:36 You think he's Doctor Strange or something? Plus, I think he was brainstorming like Master Roshi minus the pervy thoughts. 12:34 Who knew that was a threat. So many lives will be lost in order to protect Tokiyuki. He only survived cause those traitors were exhausted & probably drunk. So so many DS, Hell's Paradise, Avatar TLAB, & Mulan references in here as well.
11:34 For samurai, honor is more important than life. Generals who have subjugated their country should commit suicide. In fact, of course you can escape, but you won't be able to run far if you are not specially prepared. Especially if you don't commit suicide, you will be even more miserable if the enemy catches you. , if you are a woman... Ashikaga Takauji colluded with Emperor Daigo, betrayed Kamakura shogunate, and destroyed them in only 24 days. disparity in strengthI guess despair was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
