I finished the anime weeks ago and have not read the manga yet.

Since the story is set in Japan, all see the clear inspiration for Asama from the cavalry genius Yoshitsune. But what about the Three Kingdoms part? I can see the image of Zhong Hui, a son of a prestigious clan in Asama; Deng Ai, a peasant-born minor agricultural officer in Misumi; and Guo Jia, a genius who can do everything to achieve the goal in Kaku. And now, with Kaku dead due to his illness, on the way back to the capital, I can't help but think about the other two characters, their bond and friendship would break like Zhong Hui and Deng Ai to their bitter end?
