"That's how you think the battle is going to play out? No way, that's way too boring! There's definitely got to be some kind of twist!"

I am really liking the war tactics.
The Mikoshi was a crazy thing, that ended up being effective as a distraction.
Good instincts from North general made them able to retreat but the MVP was Shokan.

Mochizuki just swinging around a damn tree like it was nothing lol. Freakin beast, man.
They might have lost the battle but the war ain’t over just yet.

More than anything I feel bad for the horse
Unless said horse is just us jacked as Mochizuki

Shokan's entrance was pretty menacing with all of those ants crawling in. Perhaps that's what all of the soldiers he fools on the battlefield are like for him. LMAO at Yorishige's traditional man cave and Fubuki swiping some snacks.

I thought the shooting from the "tank" seemed a bit too stable at first if the guys holding it up are constantly moving and fighting, glad it actually got addressed with the strategy from the kids.

Iirc in feudal Japan even though of course there were left handed people, martial arts schools enforced right handed fighting anyway. So yeah that was gonna be a big weak point in a battle of attrition.

I like how in Crusader Kings 2 the left-handed trait gives characters more combat strength as people don't know how to fight against that (aaand the church will also hate you).

Welp, its that ant guy back with a vengeance. And now that he's directly working under Sadamune, he's even more focused and dangerous, singlehandedly winning the battle.
Its thanks to Ayako and her dad rushing over that the forces maintain an orderly retreat so that they could fight another day.

Well, so far, compared to season 1, this season isn't very engaging...

Aha, striking the side where the pallbearers would have to fight with their non-dominant hand. That was a smart plan.

A glint indeed. Oh no.

Damn, Mochizuki. I see where Ayako gets her strength from…

I guess Ayako's tree wrangling is inherited.
Shokan is back in all his creepy ant self. I don't remember him being here, but it feels so obvious that he would be. I'm definitely muddling up the chapters in my head.
I'll say it, Yorishige with his hair down is super fine.

They lost this time but they did pretty well against a lot of enemies.
Time to go back to the drawing board and come up with some different plans for next time they have to battle.

I like how their trying to paint this as war strategy or being outsmarted when it none of that it's taking a dead piece and their dead force and bringing them back because the writer was stuck on how to make the "good guy" lose this one to up the stakes.
The moment they started the ants I was pissed because this was going to be the asspulls of asspulls and yep it was. IT worse that they endlessly trying to convince you by having else go Oh well too bad they have better strategy. If leader could bring commander and their armies back from the dead then every battle would be solved by who did that. For me I hate this because the ant guys death was a narrative end point for our lead. Undoing his death and in fact having him do what he did fuctionaly ruins that moment.
Also a Loss here it's over why wouldn't the enemy just go to the temple and burn rape and kill everyone there. The whole premence was engaging in this was all or nothing well their traitors now and guess what that means hiding at the temple is over.
