This samurai Tamon – is he Kusunoki Masashige?
Speaking of samurai, not always did they fight to the end. Toyotomi Hideyoshi preferred his opponents (e.g. the Shimazu of Kyushu) to surrender, so he could use them in his service. The Tokugawa continued this. (Of course both would fight if necessary). One would say those generals of old (Shingen, Kenshin, Ieyasu etc.) had a better overall strategic view than their 1940’s colleagues…
