■ Primary Axis
- Entry: War as contest of worldviews
Reason: The conflict is not only territorial, but a clash between different forms of rule, discipline, and destiny.
Related Film: Kagemusha - Middle: Rivalry as historical embodiment
Reason: The two warlords become opposing poles through which an era’s violence, strategy, and legitimacy are concentrated.
Related Film: Ran - Core: Heaven invoked inside earthly power
Reason: The central tension lies in whether spiritual order can guide political violence without being absorbed by it.

■ Secondary Axes
- Battlefield as ritualized fate: Combat appears as a historical ceremony where personal will and larger destiny become inseparable.
