Notes
The Crab Castle is indicated as an intermediate location to the construction of the Yagura.

It doesn’t seem to offer adequate frontal and lateral defense in the medium to long term. The deployment of the three Generals, on the other hand, seems to allow good control of the area near the King. The compactness of the Castle leaves some spaces useful for the King to escape if placed under pressure.
