in the shogi match in chapter.... 11 I think it was?

but then in the anime they had him calling him Yukimura-sama

Yes, Sanada is the family name.

so why the hell did he call him Yukimura o.o

Yukimura is technically a nickname/misnomer for him, though. His real adult 'name' was Nobushinge.

Which -- no one ever uses including history books.

ah-huh

hmmm but then there's the whole thing with Benmaru too?

Benmaru was his childhood name.

Like Chosokabe Motochika was called Himewako in childhood.

/blinkblink

so.... they have different (nick?)names as children than they do as adults....?

Yes.

JAPAN WHY SO CONFUSING!?

I may be wrong, Japanese historians jump on me if I'm wrong -- but many of the nobility were called by different names in childhood, and

/slump

then got an "adult" name.

okay... that makes sense I guess... it does make sense with figuring things out in the damned series anyway lol

frickincheng come read this bb

Gabe do you know what age they usually go through the name change?

To make things more confusing, Nobushinge also went under the aliases Genjirō and Denshin Gessō. |D

And was called Sanada Saemon-no-Suke Yukimura in the novel that popularized the "Yukimura" name.

A source I found says "A samurai typically received his 'first' adult name

upon the event of his coming of age ceremony (normally conducted in his 14th year)."

this makes me wonder more at how long Rokurou's been with Sanada since he's sooo possessive of "Benmaru"

Well, the manga also states that Rokurou served Yukimura's father, Masayuki, before serving him.

He's probably served the Sanada family his whole life.

I... have been too caught up in the anime I need to go back and reread the manga. I think I missed the last two chapters too

but... if I were to put him in a game I'd have to reread anyway SO

/adds to the ever growing list

I just adored pirate!Kakei 'cause he seemed to really let himself relax a little with Jinpachi's crew. Not so intensely high-strung

and he looked really good in red and there was more chest/abs being shown of which was delicious too

Mmmm chesty

He's just the hottest.
