Source Description
Expecting orders from his warlord Nitta Yoshioki, Yura Hyogo is shown seated inside his military camp near Hodogaya in 1358. The messenger before him brings bad news: Yoshioki is dead, betrayed by a former retainer. The messenger appears to be acting out the final moments when, in a sinking boat and under a barrage of arrows, Yoshioki honorably performed "seppuku" (ritual suicide).
