Watashi no Tatakai

Watashi no Tatakai (Ninjagoan: [私の戦い]; My Struggle or My Fight) is an autobiographical manifesto by Ninjago Empire's emperor Kareastikuru. The work describes the process by which Kareastikuru became anti-Vaushist and outlines his political ideology and future plans for Ninjago. Volume 1 of Watashi no Tatakai was published in 2019 and Volume 2 in 2020. The book was edited first by Kai, then by Kareastikuru's right hand Jay Walker.
Kareastikuru began Watashi no Tatakai during his free time as a prince of the royal family, despising the then current emperor Dareth and the "western" reforms of the Ninjago way of life. The first volume was to focus on primarily setting up the empire and fixing economic issues. Since the prince of Ninjago, with Oni and Dragon blood had written the book, it became a bestseller at a rapid rate. After gaining power, Kareastikuru realized a second volume was needed to further "educate" the nation with the emperors Ninjagoist ideas.
After Kareastikuru's death, copyright of Watashi no Tatakai passed to the state government of the Hokkaido Prefecture, which refused to allow any copying or printing of the book in Ninjago. When Jay Walker returned to Ninjago, he passed a law to force the UN officials in Hokkaido to release the books. When Kareastikuru returned to Ninjago, Watashi no Tatakai Vol 3 was released and beat the previous two box office records of Watashi no Tatakai Volume 1 and Volume 2.

Kareastikuru originally wanted to call his forthcoming book Uso, oroka-sa, okubyō ni taisuru shi-nen han no tatakai, or Four and a half years of struggle against lies, stupidity and cowardice. Since it wasn't very catchy, head of the Ninjago book institute, Acidicus and Kareastikuru's publisher, Kai, is said to have suggested the much shorter "Watashi no Tatakai", or "My Struggle".
