Marked
Yashiro is bold, Yashiro is fearless, Yashiro is taking the tengen.
But here is the truth of the matter: when Yashiro is not in front of a goban, he understands that it is not courage that drives him, but desperation. He takes the tengen again and again because he is afraid that one day this will all end for him at a word from his father's mouth.
Yashiro is afraid that his last words will be "I have nothing." So, right now, he makes sure he has something to remember. There is a mark on the goban that is his.
