The latest battle in The Elusive Samurai all comes down to a fated duel between Tokiyuki Hojo and Shiba Ienaga, also known as Shiba Magojiro. Instead of shedding even more blood, these two combatants are pitted against each other, for honor and their people in equal measures. Tokiyuki is physically and mentally in a different place than he was when his hero’s journey first began, but the same can be said about his opponent.

In Chapter 129, Tokiyuki executes a brilliant attack, while Ienaga/Magojiro glimpses the future.
RECAP: The Elusive Samurai Chapter 129 Spoilers
In a brilliant gambit, Tokiyuki tries to bait Ienaga’s forces into focusing on him, knowing that his opponent would attempt a sneak attack in the process. By observing the army’s eyes as they shift from Tokiyuki to their leader, the young Hojo pulls off a badass surprise attack of his own, dubbed “Thousand-Eye Bare Blade” and impales the young general.
It’s here that we see the 17-year-old tactician gazing into a modern-day future full of hopes and dreams, dashed by contemporary problems like AI crushing creativity. He looks into the snowy sky, thinking about how he might have had a greater passion at 17 in a different era. While this may be true, his 17-year-old counterpart now lies dying in Tokiyuki’s arms, content dying at such a young age, a grim way of proving it’s true while raising the question: was it worth it?
