Episode 19

Everyone's Reactions

Hojo Yasuie really lives up to the title of 'survival and rebellion genius.' The fact that he's based in Ota, Gunma—right between Nitta and Ashikaga territory—makes perfect strategic sense, especially since he was a top contender for Shikken. And can we talk about Tokiyuki's hunger scenes? The 'Hojo' kanji appearing on his face is just too cute! I'm also curious about his dynamic with Aya and Shizuku. When Uncle Hojo got that close-up, I literally jumped out of my seat! Nitta Yoshisada's debut was incredibly cool too. Since there's a chance next week's episode (Sept 4) might clash with a sports broadcast, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the Prime Video release. As always, Nachu's ED illustrations are gorgeous, and I can't wait to see how much more Tokiyuki grows as a master of escape!
