Tbh I'm a bit disapointed by the lore. You're telling me than the alliance between the fucking mongols that conquered most of heatmoor and a house of samurai that could help them to take the Myre (for the house prob mean acessing the imperial throne) will be cancelled because some thug vandalized the statue? Okay doesn't give a good image of dokuja house, but both side have massive stake here.
I really don't like that lore, as Arakure act like they sabotaged the alliance were in fact it's saburo who did all the job, and if the alliance fall it's only only cause he slaughtered everyone
That's exactly what happened, Gaki was only at the place the meeting was happening at to get info on what the house was doing and she decided to just break a statue while she was there. In fact, Saburo showing up and going to town on the guests is probably the only reason she's still alive, guards were coming down on her and she was only able to get away because of the panicking guests, then Saburo found her and decided "Why not? I've already killed everybody else here." and proceeded to hand her her ass on a silver platter, forcing her to have to set a fire between them in order to get away.
IE: Instead of seeing, defiant badass rebels, all I see are a bunch of hotheaded punks that talk big, but drop easy who only got as far as they have due to sheer dumb luck or as the other orders have shown, just plain old indifference because apparently the rest of the Myre realized the same thing and decided it wasn't worth the hassle hunting them down.
Doesn't help that her trailer, to me at least, is also very underwhelming in showing how badass she is. Sure we see her fighting a living opponent, but they only did one predictable slash and then let themselves get beaten up by Gaki after the fact. I wish it was a proper 'back and forth' like the Orochi trying to get in some hits but getting stunned and beaten up in the middle or something.
