Day of Thunder (literature)

Day of Thunder was a literary work written by the Crane Clan writer Kakita Uniko, depicting how Shinsei selected the Thunders, the outcome of the Day of Thunder, and possibly a supposition of how the events unfolded during the Day of Thunder itself.

Bayushi's Thunder
In one of the excerpts, Uniko tells how Bayushi protests against letting Shosuro join the Thunders, claiming that too much of his men had died already. But, with the intervention of Doji and Akodo, Shinsei is finally able to leave Bayushi speechless. The Scorpion Kami never gives permission for Shosuro to leave, but neither does he continue talking against it.
