Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
42. Tsurugi Zenjirou

He may be an aspirer
and a fool
who fell in love with the pretty maiden
before seeing the crying black soul
underneath

But he was a capable man as well
who swung a sword with accuracy
and carried the torch alight
when there was no-one else to carry it...

Not a sucessor to the throne
but one who could sit on it
nonetheless.
