Episode 21: Hostilities

Hideyoshi got Emperor
Go-Yozei to visit Jurakutei.

The following year,
Chacha gave birth to a boy.

It appeared as if Hideyoshi had
acquired everything he desired.

KYOTO JURAKUTEI

The Hojo have again refused to pay homage.

The Hojo are becoming a problem.

Quiet. He finally fell asleep.

Excuse me.

How dare he ignore me.

Genjiro.

He's calling you.

Regent.

Take him.

No, that's...

Hold his neck.

Tokugawa, what kind of
man is Hojo Ujimasa?

He's fourth generation (Hojo).

He's a man who has complete
pride and confidence in being

the supreme ruler of
the Eight Provinces of Kanto.

Shall we annihilate them?

On the contrary.

We should be building
our strength now.

Only the Kanto and the Ou provinces remain.

We should carefully plan it out
without a rush.

What do you think, Tokugawa?

The Hojo are no longer a threat.

Just ignore them.

They'll eventually bow down to you.

I want to reunify the land
as soon as possible!

For Sute's sake, I want to end
the battle within the country.

Regent, he's too much
for me to handle.

What's the matter?

Did he wet his diaper?

I'll change your diaper right away.

Sakichi, we're attacking the Hojo.

I'll prepare for battle at once.

It bothers me why the
Regent is in such a rush.

Someone must have instilled
the idea into his head.

Genjiro.

Did the Regent see Rikyu
during the last few days?

Yes, he did.

Do it.

Regent, now you have a son, Sir Sute.

You are riding on a big wave.

Do you think so, too?

But waves come and go.

Seize the opportunity.

Bring peace to the land
as soon as possible.

Make it a country your son
can live in safely.

Crushy...

...the Hojo.

To curry favor with the Regent,

Rikyu only says things
the Regent wants to hear.

What do we do?

We have to prepare for
battle against the Hojo.

But that will take time,

so I'll send another letter,
telling them to pay homage.

That sounds good.

Babies grow fast.

His face changes by the day.

Yesterday, he looked like
my late mother.

You mean, Lady Ichi (Nobunaga's sister)?

Who does he look like today?

Today...

Is it Lord Nobunaga?

That may be so.

Come to think of it,

he has the same bloodline
as Lord Nobunaga.

He sometimes looks like
Lord Azai Nagamasa.

I hope he grows up to look like
Lord Azai (his grandfather).

If he takes after the Regent,

he'll be Monkey Junior.

How do you feel lately?

Actually, after giving birth,
my wrists have been aching.

Your wrists?

Yes.

You were raised as a princess
and have wet nurses.

You don't carry babies.

Why would your wrists ache?

Don't you know?

When you're pregnant,

the baby takes all the
nutrients from your body.

So your bones become weak.

Isn't that so?

Is... that how it is?

It's rough isn't it?

Since giving birth, Chacha
has gained confidence.

Who knows what will
happen from now?

The birth of the heir...

is sparking fires here and there.

Who else?

Omi Chunagon.

Who's that?

The Regent's nephew.

Sir Hidetsugu.

Oh, that lad.

He must have thought he was
the Regent's successor.

He must be displeased
with the boy's birth.

I was planning to give
this to Sute.

He will surely like it.

Tell me the truth.

How do I appear to you?

What do you mean?

Do I look depressed?

Why do you ask that?

After Sute was born,

everyone thinks that
I'm disappointed.

You're not?

If anything, I'm relieved.

In the first place,
I�m not fit to be heir.

I know that best.

So when Sute was born,

I felt great relief.

Is that so?

It turned out for the best.

Until Sute matures, I have
to strive hard.

I have to brace myself.

All is well.

Am I boring you?

Not at all.

If it weren't for Uncle,

I would have just been
a farmer's son.

I am grateful to him.

Give this to Sute.

Why don't you give it to him yourself?

I've never seen Uncle look so happy.

I don't want to interrupt.

Please excuse me.

I'm in the middle of work.

You're just waiting on Lady Chacha.

I'm waiting on the Regent.

Should you even be here?

Sir Hidetsugu called me.

He said to give this to Sute.

You're close to him.

Are you jealous?

Why should I be jealous?

There's nothing going
on between us.

You two make a nice match.

You can be his concubine.

Are you serious?

Why?

Stop playing with my feelings.

When did I do that?

You act like you're interested in
me, then you push me away.

You're like a child.

What are you saying?

Why can't you be honest?

Look at his legs.

He's going to be tall.

Regent, this is from
Sir Hidetsugu.

You received a nice gift.

Look, Sute.

Genjiro, don't you have a child?

I have a five years old daughter.

What kind of a father are you?

I have hardly lived with my daughter.

Don't you wish to see her?

After seeing how the Regent
is, I have an urge to see her.

Sute.

UEDA, SHINANO

Done.

NOBUSHIGE'S DAUGHTER, SUE

Thank you, Uncle
NOBUSHIGE'S DAUGHTER, SUE

UEDA CASTLE

Why aren't you eating?

If it doesn't suit your taste,
tell me what you like.

I'll be honest with you.

The taste is too strong for everything.

You don't like the taste?

It's too salty.

Just one bite, and I get a headache.

Then I get thirsty.

Unlike where you grew up,
it gets bitterly cold in Shinshu.

That's probably why the
taste became so strong.

I'll have the meals prepared
with light flavoring.

Please don't mind me.

I can't ignore it.

I don't want to be seen
as a headstrong wife.

I have low salt pickled plums
from my father.

Please leave me alone.

She's quite difficult.

What is wrong?

It's about Ina.

She won't open up to me.

In time like that,

grab her nose and pinch it hard.

If I do that,

Honda Tadakatsu
will rush here to kill me.

That's true.

He's the most troublesome
father-in-law in the country.

Excuse me.

What is it?

Sir Honda Heihachiro is here.

What?!

What is he here for?

What's his business?

He just came the other day and left!

He made the round trip between
Ueda and Sunpu in a few days.

He's no ordinary man.

Doesn't he have anything better to do?

He must love his daughter very much.

Father.

I received some delicious
oranges so I brought them.

Why, thank you.

Pardon my rudeness.

If you think it's rude,
then don't come in.

Pass them out to the
vassals and maids.

Very well.

By taking care of those under you,

the family will prosper.

Don't ever forget that.

I will keep that to heart.

Son-in-law, what are you doing?

Well...

Never mind. Come in.

Son-in-law...

please take great care of Ina.

Certainly.

She's intelligent,beautiful,
good-natured,

and trained in martial arts.

You won't find another woman like her.

Father, that's enough.

I want you to be a samurai suitable for Ina.

Certainly.

Excuse me.

Matsu.

What is it?

That old woman...
who is she, again?

I forgot who she is.

That's Grandmother.

She hasn't been feeling
well since morning.

What?

It appears she caught a cold.

Don't go.

What if you catch it?

But...

You stay here.

She looked fine until early
afternoon, so it shocked me.

She complained about
my heavy makeup.

So I told her, that's nothing new.

Grandmother, what's wrong?

What?

She can't hear as well.

That's from before.

She seems to have a hard
time hearing my voice.

Did you eat?

Shall I have someone
bring food?

Please excuse me.

Don't worry. I already asked for something.

The rice gruel is here.

I'll help you up.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

I brought your favorite
pickled vegetables.

You know me well.

How many years do you
think I've known you?

Don't be spoiled. Feed yourself.

I'm sorry about this.

Don't be silly.

I'm happy to be near you.

I forgot the ground sesame.

I'll go and get it now.

She looks healthier than before.

These pickled vegetables
are delicious.

IZU-NIRAYAMA

Welcome back.
IZU-NIRAYAMA

Hunting was productive today.

Nirayama has good hunting grounds.

I am glad you liked it.

Honda Masanobu is nearby.

Honda Masanobu?

He said it's imperative that
he has a talk with you.

Why must I (Hojo) meet with
a lowly (Tokugawa) vassal?

He has an important message
from (Tokugawa) Ieyasu.

Give me a break.

I can see if Ieyasu came personally.

That's my answer.

This way.

Excuse me.

Lord of Sagami.

I don't believe it.

Well, well, Lord Tokugawa.

Let me tell you in advance.

I will not submit to Hideyoshi.

This is strictly confidential.

I don't plan to stay under
Hideyoshi forever.

Then...why?

Starting a war now...

will result in defeat.

You won the Komaki-Nagakute battle.

Hideyoshi built up his
strength after that.

He's one step away from
unifying the country.

"Don't try to resist the tide".

That's not a maxim for cowards.

I consider it to be wisdom for survival.

Why are you...

...trying to persuade me?

The Hojo and the Tokugawa...

have over the years been
both enemies and allies.

We have a bizarre and
complex relationship.

However, as of right now,

I consider you to be
my long-time war comrade.

I want you to continue being
the ruler of Kanto,

and stay in good health.

That is how I honestly feel.

Interesting.

Go to Kyoto...

and bow to Hideyoshi
just as a formality.

That's all it is. Nothing
will change after that.

I...the Uesugi... the Sanada...

have all done so.

It's to protect the Hojo
Clan and fiefs.

If you still refuse to go
to Kyoto,

unfortunately, I'll have to
reconsider our alliance.

If we're severing ties,

please return my daughter
who is married to Ujinao.

You would go that far?

Yes.

As for paying homage...

I'll take it back with me
and think about it again.

But...

I promise you this much.

The Hojo will someday...

overthrow Hideyoshi.

Be careful.

Or...

the Hojo will meet their demise.

Hojo Ujimasa's arrogance will
bring the downfall of the Hojo,

but that will be later.

Lord, your sincerely warning...

must have moved Lord Ujimasa.

I hope so.

So... was that truly your
honest feelings?

Can't you be more trusting?

That's just my nature.

It'd be greatly beneficial if
the Hojo were destroyed.

However, I sincerely
wanted to save them.

Though I have nothing
to gain from it,

I still want to help.

Is that wrong?

That's our Lord for you.

How will he decide?

SAGAMI - ODAWARA CASTLE

Father, are you submitting to Hideyoshi?
SAGAMI - ODAWARA CASTLE

I did not say that.

But...

I'm watching the situation.

Tell them our condition
for paying homage.

Yes.

Numata Castle.

In spite of the fact that
it belongs to the Hojo,

the Sanada still occupy it.

Retrieving Numata from the Sanada.

That's the condition.

Tell Hideyoshi that.

Ujimasa is taking me lightly.

But if that will make him come,

wouldn't it be convenient?

What?

Confiscate Numata from the
Sanada and give it to the Hojo.

And you will command it.

It follows your peace edict.

I see what you mean.

You forbade daimyo lords
from initiating battles.

This would serve as
a good example.

But... the Sanada won't agree to it.

It looks like the Hojo
will be paying homage.

Is the invasion canceled then?

For now.

Genjiro, the Hojo are claiming
that Numata belongs to them.

Numata belongs to the Sanada.

They won't pay homage
until they get Numata castle.

My father won't agree to it.

We are summoning
Lord Sanda to Kyoto.

Is my father coming here?

I want you to persuade him.

Impossible.

It's to avoid battle.

I'm asking you.

I'm going to Kyoto.

Kyoto?

The Regent is summoning me.

Why?

I don't know, but I have to go
if he's ordering me.

While I'm there, I'll check
on our mansion, too.

It should be complete soon.

Did I show it to you?

What is it?

This is the Kyoto mansion.

I had secret doors installed.

Here...here...

and here.

Will Kyoto turn into
a battle site.

With the birth of a child to Hideyoshi,

various plots are being hatched.

Hideyoshi's rule won't
last long, after all.

It's finally getting interesting.

I'm taking Masasuke with me.
Notify him immediately.

Father, I would like to go, too.

That's out of the question.

I'm under too much stress lately.

I want a break.

You have an important duty
to protect this castle.

Please!

We're departing tomorrow.

Kyoto?

Rejoice.

You'll eventually be living there.

I can't believe I can
return to Kyoto!

It's the Regent's idea.

The Regent's?

I'm amazed the Regent
knows I was born in Kyoto.

That isn't the reason.

All daimyo lords will be
sending their wives to Kyoto.

Why?

To prevent the daimyo from
initiating personal battles.

What?

In short, they will be kept
near the Regent.

Well, they will be like...

What?

Well, they'll be hostages.

I refuse.

You can live in Kyoto.

Just bear it.

Even if it's in Kyoto,
I refuse to be a hostage.

KYOTO - SANADA MANSION

This is quite a mansion.
KYOTO - SANADA MANSION

I had them rush it, but
the veranda isn't done yet.

I didn�t think you needed the
secret doors, so I took them out.

Here, here and here.

Why was I summoned?

I can't agree to that!

I can't give Numata to the Hojo!

That would make the
Hojo pay homage.

Not my problem!

We went to great length
to protect Numata!

You should know that!

Yes, I do.

Is that why I came to Kyoto?

Masasuke, we're going home.

Father.

This is absurd/

Calm down.

You're putting Genjiro in a bind.

Father, please reconsider.

If they really want Numata,

they'll have to take it by force.

I'll take them on any time!

Tell the Hojo that!

I failed to convince him.

I expected that.

I wasn't counting on it.

What do you say to this?

Have the Hojo and the Sanada meet,

and negotiate in front of the Regent.

Instead of fighting a battle,
have them talk it out.

Then decide who should govern Numata,

the Hojo or the Sanada.

Let the Regent be the judge.

Interesting idea.

Let's have the Tokugawa present,
since they know the situation.

Arrange it at once.

No way.

It'll become clear how
unreasonable the Hojo are.

Is Ujimasa coming here?

Lord Tokugawa will be present.

Please agree to it.

This is the battle technique
of the new era.

Please argue with Ujimasa
in front of the Regent.

It's to protect Numata.

If this is a form of battle, you
must accept the challenge.

He wants me to talk directly
with Sanada Masayuki.

What will you do?

I won't succumb to Hideyoshi.

I'm going to Kyoto for the sole
purpose of retrieving Numata.

The order is reverse.

But that would...

I will not pay homage.

Retired Lord!

It will turn into a battle.

Do you...

....think we'll lose if we
fight Hideyoshi?

Even if we don't lose,

we'll take a great blow.

What do you suggest?

Lord, why don't you go to Kyoto instead?

That's absurd!

If I, the Lord, show face,
they might target my life.

In that case,

I'll go to Kyoto as your
representative.

Will you do that?

I'll argue with the Sanada,

and retrieve Numata.

I'm counting on you.

Yes, sir.

Damn Ujimasa.
SURUGA - SUNPU CASTLE

SURUGA - SUNPU CASTLE

He should submissively pay homage.

What will you do?

Will you go to Kyoto again?

Numata... Numata.

It's like a fish bone stuck in your throat.

Why aren't Ujimasa and Ieyasu coming?

The Hojo are sending Kosetsusai.

The Tokugawa are sending
Honda Masanobu.

How insulting!

If they won't be there,
then so won't I!

Why?

That's only natural!

The Sanada can't show up
shamelessly!

Sir Ideura.

This might be your
golden opportunity.

To protect Numata without
losing a single soldier.

No!

Without the Sanada there, it's pointless.

I'm sorry.

It's going to turn into a battle.

This is not the time to fight the Hojo.

It'll be a disastrous war.

Then the peace edict
will be for naught.

What lies beyond that?

Daimyo will try to devour each other again.

We'll revert back to the warring era.

Try once again to persuade your father.

And if I cannot?

Then you will represent your father.

Me?

That's the only solution.

I can't do that.

It's to prevent war!

I'm Genjiro Nobushige,
representing Lord Sanada.

I'm Itabeoka Kosetsugai,
representing Lord Hojo.

Please to meet you.

Go ahead and sit down.

Excuse me.

Sir Honda.

Well, well, Sanada Genjiro.

It has been a while.

Oh, it's you.

Sir Itabeoka.

Is Lord Hojo in good health?

Yes.

That's good.

Excuse me.

Father, rather than hiding here,

won't you join me in the other room?

I will not show my face.
That's what I decided.

But...

You're going to do it.

Father.

I'm not saying this because
I don't want to attend.

You've matured a lot
after coming here.

Stop relying on your father.

Don't tell anyone that I'm here.

I won't.

Get the Tokugawa on our side.

Whoever they side with, will win.

Genjiro.

Don't let Hojo take Numata.

Understood.

This is a battle!

Sir Honda, when did
you arrive here?

Yesterday.

You must be tired from
the long journey.

When you get to my age,

it hurts your lower back.

You should soak in the
Arima hot spring.

Arima?

The Regent goes there
often to recuperate.

The Regent say that it's
the best hot spring in Japan.

That's good to know.

I�ll make it a point to stop
there on my way home.

Arima.

Regent.

Itabeoka Kosetsusai,
Sanada Genjiro Nobushige,

and Honda Masanobu are all here.

I'll head over there.

The Regent is here.

I am Regent and Daijo-daijin,
Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Numata Castle is a tiny fort
located on a cliff in Kozuke.

However, over that tiny castle,

the Sanada, Hojo, Tokugawa,
and Toyotomi's

battle for pride was about to commence.

END OF EPISODE 21

You snatched it away!

By trickery and snatching,

we won it!

It won't end as a battle
between the Sanada and Hojo.

Not over something
trivial like Numata.

Numata will become the battle spark!

If Ujimasa will come to Kyoto,
we can deliberate.

I've extended a helping
hand many times.

Now, we go to war.

Gunma Prefecture Numata

The water of the river scrapes through the earth

and over eternal time built up its bank

creating the Japan leading terraced town, Numata.

On top of the huge hill over the river bank

which once dominating the surrounding landscape, was Numata-jo Castle.

Numata-jo was skillfully constructed shaping the landscape,

into a nearly impregnable castle.

The water flows through the castle town from the hill,

giving it the name Shirohori-gawa (Castle Hori Water)

Numata guardian temple is Haruna-jinja Shrine.

Nobuyuki later renovated this temple.

Numata was the location where the ambitions
of the Sengoku daimyo Lords crossed!

Over its territory, forms conflicts
between the Sanada and Hojo

with The Moment of Truth approaching.
