The two warriors stood ten feet from each other, both anticipating each other to strike. Akuma glared down at Ryokosha as if he was an insect. Ryokosha could not see the sun casting down on them anymore due to the enormous size of the demon. Sweat dripped down from Rohan’s face and onto his blue robe. CLANG! Both parties attacked with their blades, and the violent duel began. Loudly, each blade hit the other blade, grinding against each other like teeth.
“How cute. You blocked my first attack, you really think you can beat me?” Akuma said calmly, “Well, have fun!” Right away, Ryokosha was blocking for dear life as Akuma attacked him with a barrage of sword swings and slices, Ryokosha immediately used this to his advantage and countered the strike with a slash that was intended to cut his chest

During the Genpei War, a young women who name was Tomoe Gozen was a Japanese women Samurai. She was born in 1157 to 1247 and in Japanese standards. She died at the age of ninety-one years old.

Musui’s Story is the exciting tale of a low class samurai’s life towards the end of the Tokugawa era. Although one would normally imagine a samurai to be a noble illustrious figure, Musui’s Story portrays the rather ignominious life of an unemployed samurai. Nonetheless, this primary account demonstrates the tenacity of samurai values and privileges present at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. The social status of samurai had been elevated to such a state that even someone like Musui was easily able to gain influence in everyday affairs with his privileges. Not only that, but he had retained his values as a warrior and still kept great pride for his arts in weaponry.

Tomoe is presented in The Tales of Heike as beautiful, fierce, and more powerful than most of the other male warriors in Lord Kiso regiment.

"Oh, sh--!" The latter stopped clashing with him, and instead retracted one of the blades, slamming it into his gut once again, firing off a kinetic pulse. Priam cried out, skidding back.
