The way this whole chapter dealt with Abea Myozurumaru was great because he has been a character who was planting the seeds in Takauji’s ear for a while. Tadayoshi’s praise of does illustrate that he has potential. Of course, we have never seen in him in combat and leading a force. Now this is where Tokiyuki’s experience gave him a huge advantage. It was an obvious bait, but Myozurumaru lacks that, and it costed him dearly. Now the last obstacle from Tokiyuki and Takauji clashing is gone, so this should be interesting.
