I was wondering if someone else had spotted more substantial elements of similarity between HnK and RotK than the very generic ones I mentioned. :-) Speaking of Nobunaga (who appears in Shirato's "Ninja Bugeicho" that was recently translated into my own language, Italian), would you be interested in translating something by Shirato in the future? "Kamui Den" (if I'm not wrong, there are multiple series) in particular was translated into French, but at the moment it seems the chance that it will be translated into English (or Italian) are pretty slim. "Kamui Den Dai 2 Bu" (I think) was translated into English in the '90s.matteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233268686208193920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643247485418610029.post-53266707995128001412015-11-10T23:53:16.537-08:002015-11-10T23:53:16.537-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.matteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233268686208193920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643247485418610029.post-60467475166041370382015-11-10T19:53:15.021-08:002015-11-10T19:53:15.021-08:00Well, keep in mind that Japan's had its own fa...Well, keep in mind that Japan's had its own famously romanticized period of division, the sengoku jidai, named after the Chinese warring states period, as well as a leader who's often compared to Cao Cao, Oda Nobunaga.Hoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954194342100256628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643247485418610029.post-10509631219054874622015-11-10T14:20:49.330-08:002015-11-10T14:20:49.330-08:00I'm sorry for the very late reply!
I was just...I'm sorry for the very late reply!<br /><br />I was just thinking of the facts that some of the major characters in HnK are warlords that rule over different regions, that there are gangs of marauders roaming the land, and of the apparent assonance between the names "Raoh" and "Cao Cao". Although the first two elements are I think obviously inspired by George Miller's Inteceptor, I was wondering if that influence might have been filtered through the author's acquintance with RotK.matteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233268686208193920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643247485418610029.post-19072560142588836342015-11-09T18:24:51.186-08:002015-11-09T18:24:51.186-08:00"I wonder what would've happened if Wu we..."I wonder what would've happened if Wu went full-out on attacking Wei at the same time Shu did" <br /><br />No Jin dynasty (I can't see Sima Yi surviving if Chang'an had fallen), and the Han Dynasty would stay dead as Sun Quan fought Shu. More chaos after as I doubt any of the three states would have been intact enough to conquer everyone else... so, basically the Six Dynasties period, extended. <br /><br />This assumes that the Tibetan Empire, Khitan, or Jurchen ancestors didn't invade first...

I've never thought about it myself.<br /><br />That being said, RotK isn't just a Chinese classic. It's status is firmly rooted in the greater East Asian cultural literacy, in the way that most Westerners would know generally what happened in Romeo and Juliet or Don Quixote even if they've never actually read them. Hence, it's safe to assume that most writers in Japan will have some elements of these classics in the back of their mind as they create their own works, even if they weren't consciously inspired by them.Hoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954194342100256628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643247485418610029.post-80149436202257700142015-11-05T00:59:11.099-08:002015-11-05T00:59:11.099-08:00Thanks a lot from me too!
