		Throughout his life, however, Morihei was sorely troubled by the contention and strife that plagued his world: his father's battles with corrupt politicians and their hired goons, the devastation of war, and the brutality of his country's military leaders.
		More than simply a defender of the homestead in time of necessity, she is described as a warrior of peerless skill, going into battle like a man. She was either the wife of Minamoto Yoshinaka, or by some sources a female attendant, but in either case is described as one of Yoshinaka's senior captains.
		Yoshinaka was one of the Minamoto lords who fought against the Taira in the Gempei War, and after the Minomoto victory at Kurikawa in 1084 placed Kyoto in Minamoto hands, Yoshinaka felt that he should become the overall leader of the clan.

	The Samurai: A Brief History
		The clans who battled the emishi did so in part (we can assume) in the hopes of securing sizable rewards of land in the newly colonized areas, and to maintain these in the face of emishi resistance, arms would need to be kept.
		Outright battles between the Enryakuji and Mii-dera were common during the later Heian Period, and saw the later burned to the ground numerous times.
		There would be no further avenues of retreat should the coming battle go against them, and their earlier defeats no doubt sat havily on their shoulders.

	Hollywood Gothique: Negadon, Monster from Mars (2005) Review
		At this point, the film does a reasonably good job of living up to its intentions, which is to create a nostalgic vibe by echoing familiar motifs from classic kaijur films.
		The battle - set partly in outer space - is reasonably well realized, with some flashy, eye-catching action, and the whole thing even ends on a touching note of sacrifice
		The result is a nice little homage that should be of interest to fans of this particular sub-genre.
