It's the finale of this series on the Genpei War (1180-1185); the showdown
between the two most powerful clans of the age. This episode is one of the
most drama & action packed that I have ever covered in History on Fire.
We'll discuss Minamoto Yoritomo's Godzilla-sized ego, the Minamoto killing
each other when they are not busy warring against the Taira, the legendary
female samurai Tomoe Gozen, a ritual suicide to urge your commander to stop
having sex and concentrate on military maneuvers instead, the charge at
Ichi No Tani, the mythical fight between Kumagai Naozane and Taira
Atsumori, a victory party in Kyoto parading enemy heads, Yoshitsune's utter
fearlessness, a feat of archery so amazing that it convinced the enemies to
stop battle and cheer for the archer, the child emperor's grandmother
drowning herself and her grandson, samurai crabs, Benkei being a pal and
holding back an army so that Yoshitsune can kill himself, and much more.
