this is real history btw. obviously not 1:1 but the event that occur in this anime is real event that happened. every character is real people. the "fake" shaman guy has a shrine in japan, if you search suwa shrine it will pop out.
Sorry for the translation from Japan. This animation is basically based on historical facts, although the author's style quirks and interpretations are used. Therefore, we should not assume that everything happened as in the cartoon, but I would be happy if you are aware that something similar to this actually did happen😊

*Historical belief based on written accounts From what I've heard from fellow historians and archaeologists, who I know in Japan, that period of time is incredibly confusing. No one is entirely sure what pieces actually happened, and what pieces didn't. Historical obfuscation is present in all histories on earth, but the obfuscation of that era of Japan, just seems far greater due to how chaotic the period was

I don't think a dark story has anything to do with enjoyment as a manga. Berserk is incredibly depressing, or Oyasumi Pun Pun. It's the own author's choice to add humor.
If only… if only you could also watch the Japanese historical drama on the NHK channel called The 13 Lords of the Shogun. This is not an anime but is probably the most popular samurai drama series that aired during 2022. It had the highest viewership and popularity among recent young people for its great blend of comedy, action, and tragedy of the creation of the first Japanese Shogunate, the Kamakura Shogunate. Plus this drama’s soundtrack is as composed by Evan Call, the man behind the soundtrack of Violet Evergarden and Friren: Beyond the Journey. The most significant thing I learned from the 13 Lords of the Shogun, is that we must learn from history and strive to not repeat past mistakes.
Not many shows that I watched made me this excited for the rest of the season. I'm watching this till the end for SURE!

3:33 The mark on the box is the family crest. Only people with high social status can have a family name and family crest. The mark is called "Mitsuuroko" and represents scales. The uroko crest is a pattern based on triangles. It came to be called "uroko" because the connected triangles look like the scales of a snake or dragon. It has been seen all over the world since ancient times, and in Japan it can also be seen on the murals of ancient tombs. It was believed to have the power to ward off evil, and became a family crest due to its religious significance. It is famous as the family crest of the Hojo clan. This story begins with the downfall of the Kamakura Shogunate due to the betrayal of one of its allies in 1333. Most of the characters are historical figures who appear in textbooks. The protagonist is also a real person.

One thing I love about this series is the mythological vibe it has. It's set further back in Japanese history than most historical manga will go, and the records back then would describe people as being blessed by the gods and such, so this series runs with that. There are people with divine powers, and they feel more like something out of actual mythology rather than a rigidly defined shonen power system.

You correct. These Manga and Anime based on Japanese history book ,called "Taihei-ki". And this book wrote by past people at that time, based on religious views. So, "blessed" expression is right....

The English title should be The elusive heir/little prince. Waka(young)Gimi(lord/lady) is the literal translation, used for heir of a distinguished/noble family. Samurai is not suitable word for Tokiyuki and any other high class characters, they called Bushi. The translator just choose a catchy word for foreigners.
@kiboutokumei81466 ай бұрын
The successors of the Hojo clan never became Shogun. Instead, they held the title of "Shikken," the regent of the Kamakura Shogunate. For a long time, the Emperor was merely a puppet of the Shogun. In turn, the Shogun was a puppet of the Hojo clan's Shikken. Even a Shikken like Tokiyuki's father was manipulated by his own servants. The megalomaniacal Emperor Go-Daigo grew tired of this puppet show and aspired to be a true ruler. The Emperor's ambition influenced Takauji, who then awakened the plans for the Muromachi Shogunate. This was the trigger for a chaotic tragedy.
This anime is literally a breath of fresh air in the sea of isekais, spice of life's, and sports stuff. A beautiful mixture of historic and modern, real-life and fantasy. Just beautiful! Instant classic!

Strictly speaking, Takauji's character is true to historical fact.
It is estimated based on existing armor and legends, but the average height of Japanese men of this era was 180cm. It is said that Takauji and his younger brother were also 180cm tall. It has been verified that after Takauji's time, the spread of Buddhism and the restriction of meat consumption led to smaller builds. The samurai of this era are not the samurai we imagine today. They were truly crazy berserkers.

Ashikaga Takauji was sent from Kamakura to suppress the forces of the revolting Emperor Godaigo, but he eventually became the one who destroyed the Kamakura Shogunate. He is a hero who eventually destroyed even the new government of Emperor Godaigo and created the new Muromachi Shogunate, but from the Kamakura Shogunate's point of view, he is a terrible devil. Hojo Tokiyuki is a character that does not often appear in textbooks, but when he is visualized in this way, it makes us want to think about his character in depth! This is the best anime adaptation I've ever seen!
