The film features a historically accurate, multi-ethnic East Asian cast, reflecting the diverse nationalities involved in the 16th-century conflict. Its narrative centers on male military leaders, portraying them positively within a nationalistic framework, and does not engage with contemporary U.S.-centric DEI themes or critiques of traditional identities.
