explanation: The last battle of the war between Heishi and Genji in 1185. After the defeat at Yashima, Heishi's feet led by Taira no Munemori fled to their last bastion, Kyushu and awaited Genji's fleet led by Minamoto no Yoshitsune at Dannoura. In the morning the tilde was favorable for Heishi but when its direction was changed, the Genji's assault began. Most of Heishi's dignitaries plunged into the sea, including Emperor Antoku, a grand son of Taira no Kiyomori while Munemori was captured.
