[@lam1991hahaha]

Kyo is just a way of calling Kyoto, it literally means the capital. Kyoto literally is like the capital city

[@user-fk3zu7lk4w]

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)

[@runu4573]

The Hojo clan symbol, the three triangles are what inspired or more like literally taken in design for the triforce in the legend of zelda

[@user-nk6xj2yx9d]

The story takes place about 50 years after Ghost of Tsushima. Kamakura, which Sakai Jin defended from the Mongols, was destroyed by Ashikaga Takauji. This anime contains some fictional elements, but is primarily based on historical facts.

[@Indego84]

The fact that they kept calling him 'Lord' didn't tip you off that he was male?

[@user-uz7fl8hp1b]

If you find the names, special words and background of the story confusing, please refer to my brief explanation (from Japan). Tokiyuki is a prince who was supposed to be a future king (more like a prime minister) who would rule the country. Kamakura is the area around present-day Yokohama, which is called the "Kamakura Period" because the samurai established a political base there. Around 1333, the king (Tokiyuki's father) had become a mere figurehead, as we see at the beginning of the story. Ashikaga Takauji went on an expedition to defeat the Emperor (Empire Godaigo), who was trying to destroy the Samurai government and regain power in Kyo (Kyoto) taking advantage of the political instability. However, Takauji turned to the side of the Emperor and destroyed the Hojo clan(Tokiyuki's family) and the city of Kamakura.

bro is watching everything now

Western content creators: we have to make the material super soft, mild, and lukewarm so consumers can digest easily. Japanese artists: we trust our audience are emotionally mature and intelligent enough.

wwwwwwwwwww

[@user-iz1fq7lm8k]

Thank you for choosing this work. Followed. This work is a story based on historical fact, and the characters are real people.

[@dokja7237]

No the charecters are real and events are true but not factual in any sense its fiction based on real characters so the story goes as how the mangaka wants to write it

[@TurntBucket]

Elusive is this context most likely means "hard to catch". Elusive basically means "slippery". It can refer to tangible and intangible things. But in this context I am pretty sure it means he is literally hard to catch/grab/hit.

[@Anonkid]

New thumbnail is cool

[@RobinoyoReacts]

Thanks! Experimenting with a new style so I hope you'll like them better! :D

[@user-yn2um3jq7z]

このアニメは基本的に史実です。 日本人は中学校の歴史の授業で足利尊氏が鎌倉幕府を裏切って天皇についたという事を習っているので、アニメ内で多く説明されてないのでしょうね

[@andrealves6545]

Yorishige's va is also Gojo's (and Sein's)

[@Sarah00328]

First episode was fire. 🔥 I'm so excited for the next episode!

[@tadanobukatsu99]

I found this anime interesting because even though this is fiction, the story is based on real historical characters and events, and I've read the manga after watching the anime, they explained the real events in each chapter of the manga so it was quite a fun ride for me. Even the characters' behaviors are based on historical notes, and it's quite interesting.

[@jupiter123]

日本人の私が少し補足するとGhost of Tsushimaが1274年の「文永の役」という戦が舞台でありその影響があったか無かったか定かでは無いが（歴史の資料が無い時代で諸説ある）1333年のThe Elusive Samuraiに続いています。

[@user-vb1tj6ww2e]

I loved the first episode. Anime is really amazing 🔥

[@Mukatutu]

Betrothed is basically like, set to marry.

[@giacomodicampli6022]

Bro how many seasonal anime are you watching? This is crazy😂🧐

[@nk-bb7vy]

Yamato is one of the words that refers to Japan. In the manga One Piece, for some reason, a foreign girl calls herself Yamato. Those who protected or tried to protect the country are eliminated, and traitorous forces take over.

[@nk-bb7vy]

Hojo Tokiyuki was destroyed by the Ashikaga clan, but the Ashikaga clan was also destroyed by Oda Nobunaga. There is a theory that this was because they were not true Japanese.

[@SilentSoul0_0]

You should also check out wistoria: wand and sword. The animation was phenomenal. Also, if you are interested then check out no longer allowed in another world which is based on real life person osamu dazai who is a suicidal maniac. This season is stacked.

[@smirg2975]

Bro is experimenting with the thumbnail, cool!

[@KingDueceND]

This was a good first episode!!

[@Requiredpoisoninocean]

You definitely need to react to Gigguk's seasonal anime review video of this season, it should be coming out in just 1-2 weeks from now on. He makes that video every season where he talks about his first impressions on every new anime coming out this season. I wouldn't have recommended you this before but now that you are watching soo many new anime coming out this season, it's perfect for you to react and give your thoughts on it. Also it might tell you about the hidden gems of this season that you otherwise wouldn't have known bcoz they are not that popular.

[@kiboutokumei8146]

Succsessor of Hojo clan never got be Shogun, It's Shikken, the title of Kamakura Shugunate of Hojo's. For long time, the Emperor title was used to be puppet by Shogun. Shogun title was puppet by Shikken of Hojo clan. And Shikken like Tokiyuki's father got to be puppet by his own servants. Megalomaniac Emperor Godaigo was boring such puppet show, and he wanted to be a real ruler. Emperor's ambision effected to Takauji awaken Muromachi Shugunate plannig. It was the trigger of chaotic tragedy.

[@Indego84]

Also, you know the word 'Concubine' but not the word 'betrothed'?

[@TurntBucket]

English isn't his first language, right? Not knowing words is fine. I highly doubt he chose to learn the word "concubine" and chose not to learn "betrothed". It's just a matter of what words he has encountered.

[@Indego84]

@@TurntBucket To be fair, I didn't know English wasn't his first language. This is my first time watching one of his videos.

[@RobinoyoReacts]

I'm from The Netherlands! So English indeed isn't my first language and I still keep finding words I don't know haha :)

[@heartblue5051]

これは史実です。

[@user-st1pi7jy6m]

正確には史実を元にしたフィクションです。 キャラの性格•行動は一部太平記準拠です。

[@FlyingCowSN]

Female VA Its fair to think he as she

[@liocchi0768]

it's pretty common that young male characters are voiced by female va's, it shouldn't be surprising if you've watched anime for a long time now

[@FlyingCowSN]

@@liocchi0768 I'm confused. When did I say female VA acting young male characters aren't common?
