There was a part where Kadoc was supposed to back her up with command seals against Ivan, I guess he didn't?
Has anyone wondered if Benkei's splitting into seven clones NP is at all related to the legend of Taira No Masakado and his seven body-doubles?
It strikes me as surprisingly similar, and while there's no obvious link between their legends, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some shared weird Buddhist stuff going on.

I'm asking because A: it's seven clones in particular (a seemingly arbitrary number) and B: the NP has no obvious basis in Benkei's own legend so I'm curious about where else it could've come from. Also they're both Japanese heroes, while Wukong (who does admittedly have a "splitting into clones" ability in his legend) is Chinese. And I was just asking a simple question; there's no need to get weirdly sarcastic all of a sudden.
Speaking of Benkei... If he's not THE Benkei, then who is he? Is he also a figure from Japanese History, folklore or mythology?
This Heroic Spirit, is actually a completely different individual named Hitachibou Kaison (常陸坊 海尊, Hitachibō Kaison?), whose existence has little evidence. Originally, Hitachibou served Yoshitsune alongside the real Musashibou Benkei, having a brief mention in the Gikeiki where they shared joy and sorrow. Ultimately nothing more than a supporting role, in their final battle at Koromogawa no Tate (衣川の合戦, ?), he abandoned his comrades instantly in fear for his own life. Motivated by guilt and shame at his cowardice, he attained a limited immortality with study of esoteric Buddhist practices, and assumed the identity of Benkei for the remainder of his years, spreading the legend of Benkei's ideal heroism and unyielding loyalty

I'm not so up on my Heian-era Japanese history, so refresh my memory - Taira no Masakado was a hero for the Taira clan that opposed the Minamoto, is that right?

Oh wow, that's actually incredibly cool. Thanks for sharing this, and I'm really sorry I accused you of being sarcastic before.

I just checked Benkei's profile again and I couldn't find any explanation for why he has the "splitting into clones" NP (in fact, as far as I know GO makes no mention of it at all). Where did you read this?
