Event Fuuma Revolt

Fuuma Danjo leader of the revolt

The **Fuuma Revolt** was a failed coup d'état in Gosha Village, in which the Fuuma clan had lost their support in the government and power in Gosha to the Igawa clan and now, tried to take back their influence with force.

Mentioned in the Online Universes. In TABA and possibly main canon, it transpired after Taimanin Kurenai but before the events of the Chaos Arena (TA) or ONT Conflict. Though the date depends on which Online Universe, in RPGX it happened 13 years ago.

## Event Timeline

### Pre Event

The Fuuma clan were the leaders of the Taimanin and represented them to the Japanese government in the past, as the largest clan comprised of sub-clans/families they ruled for a long time. However, they were viewed as selfish, outdated and followed their "our family first" policy, which lead to conflict with other clans and Japan. Caught in extreme, outdated or criminal activity and internal issue of leadership within, made them less and less the ideal leaders. In the TABA and Canon, the Disappearance of Kurenai and revealed corruption by Fuuma members, that worked for Section Three, lead to the Japanese government to phase out the Fuuma clan as representatives. Favoring the more modern and moral Igawa clan by the request of an Igawa Elder, that convinced Section Three leader Yamamoto Nobushige.

Some of the Igawa Elders additionally send, periodically, assassination squats against members of the Fuuma to destabilize them in the RPGX timeline. With both sides, often in bloody minor conflict.

### Event

Instigated by the main clan head Fuuma Danjo and current Taimanin Captain. The Fuuma clan and multiple subordinate families called the "Eight Generals of the Fuuma", rebelled against the decision of the government, to be removed as leaders of Gosha Village and the Taimanin. The Igawa clan, Koukawa clan and their leaders Igawa Asagi and Koukawa Oboro as well as other clans, fought the Fuuma.

Depending on the continuity, which is different between Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena, Taimanin RPGX and Action Taimanin, certain Fuuma members or sub-clans joined them or not, but the son of Danjo, Fuuma Kotaro, never supported his father's actions.

Regardless of continuity, the Fuuma clan and Danjo, were defeated by Asagi and Oboro. Leaving the Fuuma family in an even worse state than before, being removed as leaders. The Igawa clan and their elders had a very strong reaction, and needed to be calmed by Asagi not to destroy the entire Fuuma clan as revenge.

### Post Event

In TABA, Danjo fled after this fight to the UFS (Future USA), taking most of the clans that were allied with him. A handful of Fuuma Taimanin and clans remained in Gosha Village and stayed loyal to Asagi. Fuuma Kotaro, the son of Danjo, was left behind and became the new head but left with nothing, leaving the village forming a New Fuuma Clan. The new and old part of the clan came later into conflict, and Danjo found his end by his son's hands.

The Igawa clan elders, appointed Igawa Shuzen, as a replacement of the Taimanin Captain position, but more extreme faction would lead to his death and the Igawa Revolt.

In both RPGX and Action, Danjo was killed in the conflict itself, and he was unable to flee to the UFS, less clan members also had joined his side, leaving the clan overall intact afterwards. The Fuuma remained in Gosha Village and Fuuma Kotaro, which hated his father deeply for his actions, became the new head. A small part of the clan refused to give up their fight even after Danjo's death and joined the UFS. Many years later, a second mini revolt by Nisha Gaiza, a disgruntled former friend of Kotaro and sub-clan leader resulted in the formation of the Nisha Ninja Troops, which were forced to flee after their assassination of Igawa Asagi and Fuuma Kotaro failed. The group has since tried to gain power in Tokyo Kingdom.

Regardless of timeline, the revolt has damaged the reputation of the Fuuma clan and further assisted a decline in their influence. Many older Taimanin still hold grudges thanks to the conflict, which are projected on the newer generation head Fuuma Kotaro. On the other side, some Fuuma clan members always remained opposed to Gosha, regardless of the death of Danjo. These Danjo loyalists, do not recognize Fuuma Kotaro as legitimate and view him as a traitor to Danjo's ideals.

## Trivia

* The conflict is not mentioned in the main canon, but the Fuuma clan's bad reputation is mentioned in Taimanin Asagi ZERO.
* A key difference, outside the outcome and death of Danjo between TABA and RPGX, is also Kotaro's age, which is given as 3 years old in RPGX. However, flashbacks in TABA that were before the revolt, make Kotaro at least 10–16 years old around that time.
* The Disappearance of Kurenai did not happen in RPGX and Action, as she is far younger in those.
* The date is given in chapter 17th title, which plays around that time.
