Oba: The Last Samurai

You’re Captain Oba, crouched in Saipan’s jungle shadows, turning down surrender orders and dragging his men deeper into the hills. You hear the war’s end, but treat it like static on the radio—your fight keeps going. Soon, the Americans stop seeing just a stubborn enemy; they see a man who won’t flinch, even when hope has already slipped away.
