I agree, Orfika. The anime version of events felt much weaker to me, removing much of the ugliness and sacrifice involved. It simply becomes "Yoshimura went out and fought" which fails to explain his choice to CONTINUE avoiding Eto nearly a quarter of a century later.

The manga shows Kuzen in all his flaws, and gives us a very clear image of why Yoshimura is such a tragic and remorseful character. We also get a sense of how he's trapped regardless of all the power he has. He still can't have the one thing he wants, and knows the pain he's caused his family because of his past.
