SS Japan - Tomoe Gozen: The Genpei War - Julia B. Szegedi
Storyboard Text
- Before the Genpei War
- What is it, Yoshinaka?
- Tomoe, come quick! We need you and your skills against the Taira clan!
- Fighting in the Genpei War
- We'll be fine. Charge!!!
- We're a little outnumbered!
- Wounded
- Owwwww...
- Haha, now will you surrender?
- Tomoe Gozen and Yoshinaka fought on the side of the Minamoto Clan in the Genpei War against the Taira Clan. Tomoe was a female samurai and hero of the Japanese.
- Death
- I'm dying, Tomoe.
- The Minamoto Clan fought bravely but they were still outnumbered.
- A Last Battle
- You shall die, and my master will be proud!
- Tomoe fought successfully, but Yoshinaka was badly wounded in battle.
- Former Warrior and Hero
- No, you must go, leave the battlefield! You have yet to fight other wars with a long life ahead. Leave me here to die, and don't forget the hero you are.
- Yoshinaka was dying from his wound and Tomoe wanted to die with him. The dying man ordered her to leave the battlefield and Tomoe Gozen did so reluctantly.
- Then I will stay and die with you, General Yoshinaka.
- Tomoe was frustrated when she left and at least wanted to please Yoshinaka once more by fighting a final battle with a worthy opponent. She found a strong enemy leader and unsaddled him, then cut off his head and threw it to the side.
- Please, I beg of you, spare me!
- When she was finished, Tomoe removed her armor and helmet and rode far away toward the eastern provinces. Some say she became a nun, but what we know for sure is that nobody heard from her again.
- You took the right path, samurai Tomoe Gozen. You will always be a hero. And as for me, there wouldn't have been a better way to die.
- Faster, go faster! I want to leave this place forever and never come back!
