So the four horsemen of the apocalypse, or however many horsemen there are, are beginning to rear their heads.
So what's the story here?
The famine is first and then the plague or vice versa?
So we get to 1183 and now Yoritomo is ready to effectively reignite the war.
And he's basically going to get his brother, you know...
trained in a monastery or wherever, trained by Yoda to do this for him, right?
Because his brother is clearly the more competent commander.
But then there's a twist.
Before you plunge into that, Tom, let's just pause a second and get these three people in there and clear who they are, because they're so similar.
Yoritomo, which guy is Yoritomo again?
Right.
So, okay, he's the mastermind.
And then the third man, Yoshinaka, you're about to tell us who he is.
Good plan.
Or is it?
Because they advance along this road, don't they?
The coastal road for about 200 miles.
And they win a couple of skirmishes, the Taira.
And then they reach a mountain pass.
Always an ominous moment, I think, in an invasion.
