Quote:(...) Shogun Edo was enraged and shouted for vengeance. An Imperial taskforce has been called in to investigate what is left of the Governor's retreat.
After reading a lot about history of Japan, I can't fend off the feeling they were somehow... connected with each other (yaoi alert, ugh!)
As for Shogun and Emperor, just look carefully onto Tokugawa Shogunate. The actual head of the state wasn't emperor, but main general - shogun. Emperor might be existant in Kusari, but he could be pushed into position that the figure is purely marginal.
