Beiko had a monk ask Kyôzan, “Do people these days really need enlightenment or not?”

Kyôzan said, “It is not that there is no enlightenment, but how can it be helped that it falls into the second class?”

Doom’s childhood, more focus on magic, the war to become king–all told very seriously.

I was not a fan before, and this did not increase my love for the character.
