Summary[]
The battle for control of Kamakura has been joined! The Hojo and Ashikaga forces clash as Tokiyuki and his Elusive Warriors take on the members of the infamous Kanto Hisashiban. Kojiro has engaged Kagetada, a warrior twisted by Uesugi’s chemical experiments. Genba skirts the edges of the battle trying to track down another Ashikaga ninja. After Tokiyuki’s inspiring race around the battlefield, his opponent, the horse-mad samurai Imagawa, moves in for the kill. Even Tokiyuki’s famed elusiveness may not save him this time...
Tokiyuki succeeds in narrowing the Imagawa's sights on himself with a plan devised by Fubuki to counter the Imagawa, who is running around the battlefield in all directions. He looks for an opportunity to counterattack while inspiring his allies in a situation where the slightest opening could be fatal! On the other hand, the enemy general, Tadayoshi Ashikaga, decides to go into battle to meet and kill the Hojo army. The generals finally confront each other directly, and the battle to recapture Kamakura begins!

Author's Comment[]
There isn't much documentation on this time period, so it's like the history consists of 20 percent historical fact and 80 percent conjecture.
In other words, if even an armchair historian like me can grasp just a little historical fact, it's possible to guesstime to fill in the rest.
When it came to things like Kamakura's defenses in this volume, I started by puzzling them out for myself. When I asked my historical advisor Hongo Sensei about it, he said, "You've got a good eye for this." it felt like I'd gotten a good grade in school, so I was ecstatic.
