@pinyiner1234 In the anime, Kochu’s mother is unknown. Probably deceased more than likely. But in history, Kochu was Toregene’s son. The anime changed up a handful of things for some reason!
@imtheonlytruth@re_kiriyama Oooo okay okay, that makes sense! I completely forgot about that part too, though, I wonder why Boraqchin was also chosen then, since at least Moge had background from a tribe + her being with Genghis Khan helped secure an alliance + loyalty with said tribe then 🤔
@re_kiriyama@imtheonlytruth If any of the other sons had been the Khan, naturally they’d end up inheriting every other wife/consort of Genghis Khan (not including their mother)! Though, in history I do recall one of Tolui’s sons actually ended up marrying one of Tolui’s consorts!
@MayaLiya006@V01rr If Tolui had been the next Great Kha’an, it def would’ve been the son who became the next Khan after him! But in this case, his eldest son would inherit Fatima as his wife! So Möngke I believe!
@imtheonlytruth Ohh! This makes so much sense! I’m curious, though, kind of in relation to the anime! Since Boraqchin dosen’t have kids with Ögedei, does that mean he can choose/have a different primary heir(s) from his other wives? Or is the primary heir(s) spot just there if she has kids?
@SauerKirsche18@dangitman50@anime_daily Yes it has! Both women had at least 1 main reason. Spoilers ahead so read at your own risk! But Anshi wanted to swap because she felt no love for her child due to the previous emperor being a pedo. And Ah-Duo wanted to give Jinshi the best chance of survival in the palace!
@maisogyny I honestly think Jinshi knows to a degree. Or he has that idea. But that would mean he’d have to admit he’s the current emperors son. But Jinshi also doesn’t want the throne, since he wants to be with maomao and taking the throne would bring complications for him and Maomao!
@dangitman50@anime_daily The anime mentions it pretty late within the second season but for like only a brief second, so you’d have to really pay attention! A lot of the info would show up more frequently in the Light Novels and the Manga, since those are way ahead of the anime!
@SauerKirsche18@dangitman50@anime_daily The baby who died because of Fengming (Ah-Duo’s head lady in waiting) was actually Anshi’s son, the actual true imperial brother!
@dangitman50@anime_daily Lore wise, that’s what happened. Anshi and Ah-Duo did a baby swap for many reasons. Jinshi is actually the current emperors son, and Jinshi is the name he uses while posing as a eunuch! His true name given to him is Ka Zuigetsu
