I'm not actually finding anything in what we have of ''AC Memories'' that outright says Kotarō was Hanzō's killer. The cards name him and say the men had a rivalry...but that's it. "Last Days of the Taikō" currently implies that he's the culprit, but the unfinished transcript leaves the mystery unsolved. Neither Kotarō's nor Hanzō's JP WP pages mention each other, with JP saying Hanzō died of illness. Further, not only does Kotarō's ENG WP page say that his killing Hanzō is "a popular but fictional story"—citing ''James Bond'' stunt choreographer and martial artist author {{Wiki|Donn F. Draeger}}'s 1981 ''ninjutsu'' manual and a 2008 book by a "Joel Levy", whose credentials I am unsure about—this cited fact was still there on 22 August 2014, which predates this page's creation on 6 Sept 2014. Did Sima just miss that info or does ''Memories'' actually blame Kotarō? I doubt there are active editors who played ''Memories'' and recall how "Taikō" ended, though, or else it would have been completed. – [[User:Darman36|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;font-size:15px;color:#">Darman</span>]] ([[User talk:Darman36|<span style="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;color:#">talk</span>]]) 20:15, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
