⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Yorishige recognizes Tokiyuki as the destined hero of a chaotic age, chosen not for strength but for his genius at escape. With Takauji's forces hunting every surviving Hojo, Tokiyuki refuses revenge and instead builds a base in Suwa, gathering companions. He slips past every pursuer and grasps a hard truth: fleeing is not defeat but the ultimate tactic to survive and strike back. Yorishige's prophecy is clear – this boy will one day reclaim Kamakura.
