Hideyoshi Toyotomi



"The stalwart Hideyoshi Toyotomi would invade South Korea instead of the whole Korean peninsula since the Coalition of the Red Phoenix is working with the Coalition of the Red Star. However, things could go any worse if there were any zombies that could roam in and around this place, just like in Kingdom, one of my favorite Netflix shows."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Toyotomi
