Original title: Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi
In the year 1333, the Kamakura shogunate government comes crumbling down. A trusted vassal, Ashikaga Takauji, betrays the shogunate and organizes a rebellion. Houjou Tokiyuki, the rightful heir, escapes the massacre with a Shinto priest named Suwa Yo…rishige to Kamakura. On the run and fighting to stay alive, Tokiyuki sets in motion his plan to reclaim his birthright.
Platform catalogue reviewed on . Availability varies by country and date.
I'd recommend it for its animation and for seeing Tokiyuki turn running, dodging, and surviving into a true heroic talent.
It's a good fit if you're looking for Japanese history, action, humor and samurai.
Unlike other samurai heroes, Tokiyuki's legendary ability is not to win with the sword but to escape; just the opposite of the warrior ideal that destroyed his clan.
