i mentioned him very briefly in one of my hella awesome banquet mv posts but kuukou passing out standing mirrors ‘the standing death of benkei,’ the warrior monk who swore loyalty to minamoto no yoshitsune after being bested by him

in their final hours, minamoto no yoshitsune had to escape to his castle so benkei stayed behind fought off their enemies until the very end to let his retainer escape but was eventually slain by arrows and died standing

#this is vee speaking #i’m being vague about what went down in their last hours because minamoto no yoshitsune had to commit s3️⃣ppuku 😞#which may also mirror what jyushi did to avenge kuukou in the chapter #it’s pretty neat to see references like this lol and to see them come into fruition in canon #like i wonder if there’s a historical reference for hitoya in his narrative i’ve missed?? 🤔#i actually can think of something in regards to this one actually but it involves betrayal and i don’t want to humour the thought lol #c: kuukou👑
