Time will tell if this and Wistoria can be popular later. Wistoria definitely seems to be the more popular of the two sleeper shows you picked up from what I can see though
need to say this again, but its the same author as assassination classroom, so the style is similar. basically, its lighthearted during downtime but if it needs to get serious it will
Did they really do excesive things like skewering heads in that period? What do they do to the women? Do they k!ll all the men they capture? Can you please explain
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.
07:53 This series is mostly based upon the real history(of course, except for the fictional elements), that we learn in Japanese high schools. Most named characters were based upon the real living people, who were slayed flat, raped and gruesomely tortured in “Siege of Kamakura.” (However, I couldn’t find anything about the girl Kiyoko. And some vassals’ names are changed a bit.) In 1953 excavation(材木座遺跡), over 900 skeletons from the 14th century were dug up, which had sword, spear and arrow wounds, and had traces of having been left exposed to the wild elements for a while. Now, there is a statue of the battle. I suppose, that their descendants are watching, or, may be making this animation.
The head that rolled down after the ball was his brothers, he was beheaded. The girl who was teasing him got violated and murdered. His father commited seppuku. The two guy who chased him died in battle.
@@Star-eg3qt Seppuku is a s*icide ritual to restore and/or maintain a samurai's honour. The procedure involves them slitting their own bellies, removing the blade and bleeding to death. It was usually done to amend a wrong or to avoid capture by the enemy.
LUPA TRYING SO HARD NOT TO MENTION THE TRIFORCE 🤣 But yeh, The 3 triangles crest has always been the Hojo Clan's family crest. the Hojo-Uroko, actually represent scales from a giant serpent encounterd by the first hojo head Tokimasa
One of the developers of The Legend of Zelda, Gunpei Yokoi, apparently incorporated his family's crest into the game. In fact, this is no coincidence; his ancestors were descendants of Hojo Tokiyuki, who took the surname Yokoi, so the symbol is the same as that of the Hojo family.
I say this every time, but ever since Cloverworks got screwed into doing Promised Neverland S2 the way they did, every anime they put out since has felt as much like a passion project as they do an apology for something that wasn't really their fault. The love they put into their work is so clear and I'm always gonna be there for it.
A passion project doesn't have an awful production schedule lil bro, and this one ain't an exception, but of course the casual audience won't notice it (nor care about it).
@@aritrasaha441 yes, I dont know what the author will do, I'd be surprised if he ultimately makes Tokiyuki fail just like in real life since he had the whole future hero thing set up at the start of the story

Yorishige Suwa was responsible for the "Ohohori" of Suwa-taisha Shrine. "Ohohori" is a descendant of the god Takeminakata and is a living goddess. At Suwa-taisha, the most senior priest of the shrine. At the age of eight, he ascended the throne as "Ohohori." and at the age of 15 he descended to become the samurai named ”Gokenin“ of the Kamakura Shogunate clan remained. For the serialization, the author Matsui visited Suwa and observed and researched historical sites with the help of local people. Based on this, the story also incorporates customs unique to Suwa.

Just to make it clear: this anime/manga is based on actual history(so don’t look up the characters unless you want a spoiler), but it takes a lot of creative liberties by reinterpreting the facts, one of the examples of that is supernatural abilities(such as seeing the future), they are an actual thing that will be explored later on, the idea being that they didn’t make it into official history because most people didn’t believe in the supernatural
@@Sacration You’re welcome, well if it’s about the creative liberties(SPOILERS AHEAD): . . . There are quite a few, such as a character that appears later on who’s very good at hiding his presence, this is because there’s almost no information about him beyond the fact that he existed, there’s a guy who was a really good archer so in the manga he has comically big eyes that give him superhuman vision, etc…Then there’s the “Divine Powers” which are a bit similar to magic in the Nasuverse, such that the more Humanity gains influence over the world the less magical the world gets, also Divine Power takes a toll on the user if they try to do stuff too outlandish(there’s a character who can cheat on gambling games as much as she wants, but creating a storm makes her eyes bleed)
Does the excesive stuff like skewering heads n sh really happen or only in the anime, like do they only k!ll the men? What happens to the women and children left? Are they taken cared of and respected?
@@Thorsanime00 Well, every rule has exceptions, but in general people wouldn’t make head skewers(they did pick up heads of important people to prove their accomplishments though) and because war is an universal language it’s safe to assume that civilians from invaded cities often suffered indignities, but that may vary depending on the army/commander
4:00 If it is a Japanese, let alone a character appearing here, we have one such crest (family coat of arms) toward the family by all means. It is also in my house.
most people missed it cause its so fast but in 7:29 the head that got chopped was his half brothers (the red kimono kid that kicked the ball) you can see that since both the heads had longer hair and that was for nobility and also the white band that was holding his hair in a ponytail
that legend of zelda lookin ass symbol was actually the symbol of the hojo clan and i’m pretty sure that’s where they took inspiration for the zelda games
I didn’t expect this to come out and read a bit of the manga. So glad to see them illustrate how hard he is to catch and how quick he actually is in fluid motion. And I love how they portray the faces so well. Also beautiful artwork of what feels like Japanese paintings at points.
Although there are some exaggerations and some original characters, the characters and story are based on historical facts. The period is about 260 years before the time of "Shogun."
There are two different Hojo, this one is the Earlier-Hojo meanwhile the Later-Hojo is during the Sengoku Period seated in the Provinces of Sagami, Izu and Musashi.
Seeing some of these scenes for the second time and realising Takauji is the only one who can always find the prince easily when he's hiding is TERRIFYING!!!
9:50 If my memory serves me correctly, Samurai would often be paid rewards per head, so they would be collecting as many as they could. Daimyo or other lords would also preserve and display heads in special rooms or boxes. The Japanese were savage af when they wanted to be. EDIT: the kind folks in the comments have taught me more about it. This has been exaggerated for the sake of drama and usually would only be a very specific practice. Thank you very much for your help.
Although heads were sometimes used as evidence of having killed a famous samurai (after a battle, a general would verify the identity of the head of a feat's subordinate and hand out a reward at that time), it was rare for the heads of ordinary soldiers to be collected in this way. It is direction of the story. 名のある武士を討ち取った証拠として首は使われることはありましたが、(戦いの後、大将が手柄を上げた部下の討ち取った首の身元を確認する首実検というものがありそこで褒美が渡されていました)、ただの兵士の首をこのように集めることは稀でした。 あくまで物語上の演出です。
And I thought 2023 was a banger year for anime fans! Just in 7 months, we've already gotten so much actually good anime with good budget and storyline.. Insane timeline for anime fans, honestly..
It's a shame that the main character's setting differs from historical fact in some ways. In the anime, the main character is 8 years old, but in historical fact he was 4 years old.
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.
Sleeper of the season?

so happy you guys are reacting to this! I've been reading the manga and love it. I honestly thought you guys weren't reacting to this
No man, that actually happened in 14th century. Also Takauji's origin is the same as Ieyasu's, the model of Toranaga from SHOGUN.
The tonal shifts in this are stunning literally 😵💫
Lupa voice: "ART"
Gojo having Limitless here too is funny
This is a rare case of where we are getting an anime from a manga that I’ve been reading since ch1 released lol
No Takauji actually just sliced that guy up cause he was doing a sudden betrayal.
First episode was fire. 🔥 I'm so excited for the next episode!
Really glad you guys are reacting to this!
The OP really set me up for a very different anime hahaha
This show is from the same author as Assassination Classroom. You can see in their faces😆

I gotta say Wistoria, Elusive samurai and Oshi no ko. This summer is WILD with insane animation !!
7:31 pause the video. you can see that it was the brother head.

Loved this first episode a lot! Absolute heat right here can't wait for more!!!!!!!!!
The animation in this was crazy good, I don't know how I didn't hear about this anime at all.
