A Subversive Take On The Momotaro Legend

A notable thread in season 2 is how the series keeps flipping the traditional Momotaro legend, casting the Momotaro organization as more of a colonizing force than the "demon-slaying hero" of the original folktale, an angle that helps Tougen Anki stand out within the dark fantasy shounen space.
