Takiyama has the most interesting life for better or for worse 😅 but that makes him so fun to follow he was the anchor in the last few arcs of Ooku
His time as kagema and his reciprocal respect for Abe Masahiro 💖 making the best of a bad situation
Him and Iesada bickering 24/7 (but we know they care and like each other so so much 🥰)
And yet he was ready to hand a shogun his own ass to protect her. For Isesada it was the first time she ever felt protected and looked after. Besties fr 💖
He is Ooku's final 総取締 and what a fine job he did, navigating through such difficult times, unstable politics, civil wars, exchanging of dynasties. Kept his head high and completed the task out of respect for the women he served. Abe Masahiro, Iesada, Iemochi.
Also hmmmm 🫢🤭?
