// WHY IT HITS
The Phoenix cycle keeps reincarnating its obsessions, and Yamato Chapter inherits the weight of that eternal return. Where Karma showed two sculptors locked in competition across lifetimes, this entry traces how ambition and violence follow the same bloodline through myth, how a legendary warrior's legacy becomes another form of the same curse that drove Akanemaru and Gao to their chisels. Tezuka is not retelling the Yamatotakeru myth for spectacle. He's showing you that the myth never stopped happening, that destiny doesn't explain itself, and that your struggle to prove yourself matters precisely because it's been happening forever.
SYNOPSIS
Based on Tezuka Osamu's original work portraying life based on the myth of Yamatotakeru.
