Japanese: 大友義鎮は当初から陶隆房が晴英を傀儡として擁立するだけで、自分の政権が揺ぎ無いものとなれば、廃嫡されるに違いないと疑い反対したが、晴英自身が大内当主となるのを望み、「この要請を断り中傷を受ける事の方が悔しいので、命は惜しくない」と主張した為、義鎮もこれを認めた。

English: In 1555 after Harukata SUE died in the battle of Itsukushima with Motonari MORI, the appeal of Yoshinaga was low because although he was related by blood he was an adopted son whose adoption had been severed once, and the vassals were collapsing because they had been weakened by Harukata SUE's plot and internal strife, and the Ouchi clan subsequently fell into a rapid decline.
Japanese: 弘治元年（1555年）、陶晴賢が毛利元就との厳島合戦で敗死すると、血縁があるとはいえ一度解消された経緯のある養子だった義長の求心力は低く、ただでさえ陶晴賢の謀反やその他の内訌で弱体化していた家臣団は完全に崩壊し、大内氏は急速に衰退していく。
