Retreat to the front! The legend of Shimadzu's strongest and the cartoon "Drifters" that really happened!
Before we get into the review, let's take a quick look at the "Drifters," a collaboration between Satsuma Kinzanzo and the "Drifters.
Drifters" is a manga by Kota Hirano, a manga artist known for "HELLSING" and other works. The story is about "drifters," great people who have been reincarnated into another world from various worlds, east, west, south and north, and the great people who are thought to have died an untimely death in history, and the "drifters" who have been reincarnated into another world. This is a fantasy work full of romance that transcends history, revolving around the conflict between the "Drifters" and the "Ends", a group of great men and women who have died a violent death in the course of history.
The protagonist of this work is Toyohisa Shimazu, who is confused when he sees Nobunaga Oda, who supposedly died 20 years ago, and Heian-era warlord Yoichi Nasu, but whether it is fate or the nature of warriors, he still plays an active role in the war, displaying his natural Satsuma Hayato personality.
If you have played Sengoku games, you have heard the name " Shimazu " at least once.
The "Shimazu clan" of Satsuma, which is considered the strongest among the fans of warlords, fought hard for the Western Army in the Battle of Sekigahara.
As the defeat of the western army was becoming more and more certain and many units were beginning to run away, the Shimazu forces led by Yoshihiro Shimazu broke through the eastern army in front of them, in other words, they retreated to the front, an unprecedented strategy of abandoning the enemy.
Thanks to the efforts of Shimazu Toyohisa and others, the general, Shimazu Yoshihiro, returned to Satsuma with flying colors. This unprecedented escape in the history of warfare was a great success.
This battle was later called " Shimazu's Retreat " and became the reason why the Satsuma Hayatonians are still talked about as the strongest fighting group in the world today.
The "Kinzankura Umeshu Long-Stored Drifters Collaboration" is a product that transcends history, just like the "Drifters" comic strip.
Toyohisa Shimazu was born in Kushikino Castle in what is now Ichiki-Kushikino City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and the Satsuma Kaiun Shrine, located in a cave in the Satsuma Kinzan Storehouse, is a branch of the Seihoko Shrine, which is dedicated to Toyohisa's uncle, Yoshihiro Shimazu.
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Kanayamagura in Satsuma and the 450th anniversary of Shimazu Toyohisa's birth, a plum wine made in Ichiki-Kushikino City is being sold with the Drifters' Toyohisa Shimazu label.
Toyohisa Shimazu must have been surprised to learn that his illustration would be on the label of the plum wine.
