Comic Version Japanese History / Yoshitoki was born into the Hōjō family, a powerful family in Izu. When MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, who had been exiled to Izu by the Taira family, married Yoshitoki's older sister Masako, the Hōjō family, including Yoshitoki, raised an army with Yoritomo to overthrow the Taira family. Yoritomo, who defeated the Taira family and was appointed Seii Taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians"), established the Kamakura bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun), but he died suddenly. Because the heir of Yoritomo, Yoriie, was dictatorial, Yoshitoki and other influential gokenin decided to govern with a' council system of thirteen members'. However, this council system unexpectedly intensified the power struggle among gokenin. This eventually led to a conflict with the Imperial Court, and Yoshitoki decided to fight with the Imperial Court in order to realize the' world of samurai' that Yoritomo aimed for. This is the story of a man who conquered the' Jokyu Rebellion' that completely changed the relationship between the Imperial Court and samurai, and brought the world of samurai to Japan!
