Kozure Ookami Chapter 140 Discussion

A view into what the people of Edo think of the fight between Ittou and Retsudo. Barely anyone is on Ittou's side. The shogun is about to get involved and that will probably turn the battle in favour of Retsudo.

Cliffhanger! Itto fighting with a broken sword was crazy, as well as destroying Retsudo's spear!



One thing I kept in mind is that there were around 200 "grass", but Itto clearly killed less...

                        I love that it digresses and talks about the town folks. Feels like a sports manga now with all these battles and even spectators betting over it.

Amazing decision to distract us from the main battle and show us the other side of Edo that day. It seems that everyone knows about this big event and even the higher ups are interested a lot on how the battle will be decided

It's as if all of Edo is at a standstill as Itto and Retsudō's battle continues into the night. Everyone is restless, waiting for the outcome, but none dare to go near and interfere.

The Shogun is informed that Itto has killed all the kusa and Retsudō stands alone. Upon hearing that, he decides he's going to ride out, but his retainers are adamant that he stays in the castle. They're worried that chaos will break out in the han and the daimyo will go against the Shogun's authority. The Shogun said he didn't give a fuck though. He's more worried about his reputation and doesn't want Retsudō to be killed right after he put his trust back into the Yagyu clan.
