STORY :

One of twin brothers, Prince Ōsu, attempts to admonish his brother, Prince Ōusu, who is plotting rebellion. However, in his attempt to restrain his brother, Prince Ōsu accidentally takes his life. Unaware of the circumstances, their father, the Emperor, becomes enraged and orders Prince Ōsu to embark on a campaign to subdue the Kumaso people who refuse to submit to Yamato. The wife Prince Ōusu, Princess Etachibana, pursues Prince Ōsu as her husband's avenger. However, as she discovers Ōsu’s pure and gentle heart, she begins to admire him and eventually develops feelings for him, despite their initial adversarial relationship. Having arrived in Kumaso, Prince Ōsu successfully defeats the Takeru brothers, the leaders of the Kumaso, and in recognition of his bravery, he is bestowed with the name "Yamato Takeru" by the Kumaso Takeru. Joyfully returning to Yamato, Takeru finds that the Emperor still has not forgiven him, and he is now tasked with a campaign to subdue the Ezo people. Accompanied by the Great Lord Takehiko of Kibi, the journey is fraught with difficulties. Along the way in the rapids of Hashirimizu, Takeru's beloved younger brother, Ototachibana-hime, pursuing him, becomes a victim of a fierce storm. Subsequently, after pacifying the Ezo, Takeru is commanded to defeat the mountain deity on Mount Ibuki. However, in this battle, Takeru sustains a serious injury...
