On the other hand, archeological evidence, such as an inscription found from swords of this age also supports the idea that Bu is an equivalent of Emperor Yūryaku who was called Wakatakeru Okimi at his age.

Some suspect that they were rulers of a Non-Yamato court which ruled the majority of current Japan in 5th century and eventually ruined by the ancestors of current imperial dynasty. However, such idea is not widely accepted among scholars.
