Interesting episode. Is everything the novel says about Red Hare true? I seem to remember it turns up in the possession of Guan Yu later on!
Hi Tom. Funny you should mention that Red Hare turns up in the possession of Guan Yu, because we’re getting to that in the next episode. As for reality vs. fiction on Red Hare, from what I understand, it is only mentioned very briefly in historical records, so there is much literary embellishment in ROTK.
