Episode 18: Homage

Hideyoshi offered his mother
to Ieyasu as a hostage.

Which compelled Ieyasu
to pay homage.

Regent Hideyoshi unification
of the Land was within reach.

We received a letter from Genjiro.

Hideyoshi will promote
you to daimyo status.

Ishida Mitsunari assures you of that.

Father, you will finally...

be equal to the Tokugawa and the Uesugi.

I don't like it.

Why?

The status of Daimyo should be
gained by strength.

Who does Hideyoshi think he is?

It means he recognizes our strength.

I am not his vassal.

He acknowledges you.

Hence, the promotion.

I'm not paying homage.

Jump in and turn.

Try it.

Alright. One, two, three.

Good. Do it again.

Alright. One, two, three.

Alright. One, two, three.

Alright. Let's do it again.

Sir Rikyu, I need to ask you something.

Ask me anything.

When a person experiences
extreme sorrow,

is it possible to completely
forget the past?

Then live as a different person?

Well...

The mind is a mystery, Gennjiro...

Yes?

I don't know the answer to everything.

I wouldn't know how
to answer that.

Forgive me.

UEDA CASTLE

What can I do for you?
UEDA CASTLE

Lord Sanada, go to Osaka
as soon as possible.

My Lord is worried.

Don't take the Regent lightly.

I decide whether to go or not to go.

The Regent plans to make
you his immediate vassal.

If you reject him, he'll invade
Ueda with full force.

What?

He has the momentum.

Most of the Daimyo in Japan
have become his subjects.

Battle wise as you may be,

you stand no chance.

Daimyo...or death...

The choice is obvious.

My Lord is negotiating with the
Regent on behalf of the Sanada.

Thank you for thinking of us.

Don't make the Uesugi lose face.

For the sakes of the Sanada
and the Uesugi,

please go soon.

What should I do?

I have a duty to protect my fiefs.

To do that, I must become a daimyo lord.

That's true.

But that would mean becoming
Hideyoshi's vassal.

After a desperate battle,

becoming a subject of a man
unrelated to the Takeda,

is unthinkable to me.

That's true.

I have to decide soon.

Why don't you...

bow your head to him,
under pretense.

Obeying the powerful.

That's how the Sanada survived.

Humble yourself, and hide
your fangs and claws.

When you see Hideyoshi's
momentum declining,

attack while he's asleep.

There's nothing wrong
with being cowardly.

I'm going to see Hideyoshi.
I'll pay homage to him.

Yes.

Doesn't that mean you'll
become his subject?

That's the gist of it.

What will become of Numata?

We fought desperately
to defend Numata.

Those who went under Hideyoshi
were secured of their fiefs.

Nothing will change.

I'm against it!

Why do we have to go
under Hideyoshi?

This is the end of the World!

Don't worry.

I'll bow to him, but it won't
be from the heart.

Father has finally decided
to pay homage.

The Sanada will survive now.

Congratulations.

As I keep saying, I don't
know you people.

After the Honno-ji Incident,
you escaped from Azuchi Castle,

and jumped into Lake Biwa
with the Akechi men in pursuit.

Leave me alone!

What do you want from me?

You have a husband named
Oyamada Shigemasa.

He is lamenting your death.

He's probably still around
Lake Biwa.

My name is Fuji.

I'm second to Okuni as a
dancer in this troupe.

I don't know you!

Please remember!

It's me, Genjiro Nobushige!

When we were performing near Otsu,
IZUMO NO OKUNI

she appeared at the shrine where we stayed.
IZUMO NO OKUNI

She wouldn't tell me her name
or where she's from.

It seemed like she had
nowhere to go,

so we picked her up
to join our troupe.

When was this?

About three years ago.

The timing matches.

Are you her family?

I'm her younger brother.

I have a favor to ask you.

As selfish as this sounds,

can I take her with me?

Her homeland might
trigger her memory.

I couldn't be happier if
you'd take her with you.

What?

She's a problem.

She has no talent for dancing.

Is that so?

Her hands and feet just go
through the motion,

and it's creepy.

Isn't she second to you
in popularity?

She's not popular at all.

Is that so?

Therefore, I'm taking her in.

She lives here?

I can't impose on Sir Ishida
any more than I have.

I have a favor to ask of you.

All right. I'll ask Lady Nei.

Thanks.

I hope you regain your
memory soon.

What did Okuni say?

She doesn't want me?

She didn't say that.

Was I a burden after all?

I knew I was terrible at it.

You have nothing to worry about.

Please focus on recuperating.

I'm not tired.

Having amnesia means you are
not well, aneue (older sister).

Don't call me aneue.

Call me your younger sister.

I can't do that.

We could use all the help we can get.

That would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Nei! Where are you?

The title of Daijo-daiji
is mine!

Daijo-daijin...

That's what I'm going to be.

Daijo-daijin?

The imperial envoys came
from Kyoto today.

Even Lord Nobunaga
couldn't get that title!

I've finally outdone him!

Congratulations.

Minamoto-no-Yoritomo became Shogun,

but not Daijo-daijin.

Congratulations.

Congratulations!

Congratulations.

Thank you!

I'm not that happy about it.

Isn't that higher than Shogun?

The title means nothing.

I didn't strive hard for that.

Fulfilling Lord Nobunaga's
aspirations...

That is my only wish.

Uncle's aspirations?

You need to be of high rank
to control all the Daimyo.

Once peace is established,
I plan to relinquish that title.

Genjiro, your father is coming.

What?

I finally heard back from him.

He should have come bowing
in deference sooner.

What will become of the Sanada?

Are you crushing them?

I'm thinking.

Nobunaga died right before
he unified the land.

No one can deny that could
also happen to Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi's rule will be short-lived.

Something is bound to happen.

I'll have to bear it until then.

Are you going to join him and wait?

If you want,

I could play the part
of Akechi Mitsuhide.

That's interesting.

In February 1587,

Sanada Masayuki and his
party arrived in Osaka.

Handle them with care.

Brother!

Genjiro!

I'm glad you persuaded Father.

He gave me a hard time.

When Father sees how
things are in Osaka,

he'll understand how
powerful the Regent is.

I am a bit upset.

I heard we are spending a night here.

Yes.

We can’t enter the castle and
must stay at this old temple.

What's going on?

There aren't many vacant
rooms in Osaka Castle.

Didn't the Tokugawa and
the Uesugi stay in the castle?

Compared to them,
our fiefs are small.

Even then...

Let me talk to Sir Ishida.

All right.

Go and see Father right away.

Yes.

Father!

You look good.

Have you been well?

Yes. I've finally adjusted to Osaka.

My, my, just look at you.

You must enjoy life here.

Does it seem that way?
I can't tell.

You have a Kyoto aura.

Brother...

you smell like soil.

Ridiculous!

Have you seen Osaka Castle?

Yes. I had a view of it
before I came here.

What a huge castle!

The Regent does everything
on an entirely different scale.

Genjiro.

How would you about attacking it?

I'm talking about down the road.

There's no guarantee
it won't come to that.

Osaka Castle is impregnable.

It doesn't make it difficult
to seize because it's large.

If anything, the bigger it is,
the harder to defend.

I'll find it's weakness.

I'd like a map of the
castle's surroundings.

My father has safely arrived.

Sanada Masayuki is here?

He's supposed to meet
the Regent tomorrow.

They're staying at a temple
1-ri (2.44 miles) away.

I arranged it.

It's a breezy old temple.

Can't they move into town?

Impossible.

The Uesugi and Tokugawa
stayed in the castle.

They're of different status.

They are high rank Daimyo Lords.

Sanada is a provincial lord.

I understand.

Here you go.

I'm worried about Father
for various reasons.

Isn't he going to be a subject
of the Regent?

I guess.

I'm glad.

The Regent will protect us now.

It's not that simple.

You just have to work
things out between the two.

Did you tell them about Matsu?

Father is preoccupied by his
meeting with the Regent.

I'll find the right time to tell him.

That might be best.

I have to go back now.

Do your best.

He promised to take me
when he went to Osaka.

That shows how important
this homage is.

He could have mentioned it to me.

Why did he have to leave
while I'm in Kusatsu?

If he told you, you would have
come back with a mouthful.

He didn't want to deal with that.

COURTESAN YOSHINO

The Regent arranged this setting for us.

How considerate of him.

He's an attentive man.

Excellent!

Please enjoy.

Would you like a drink?

Please excuse me now.

Thank you for heeding
my unreasonable request.

What are you saying?

After one visit, you are
considered a regular.

Please don't send the bill
to Sir Ishida. I'll pay for it.

I understand.

Father, have a drink.

Please relax tonight.

What is Hideyoshi like?

He's an incredible man.

I feel hes greater than
Nobunaga or Ieyasu.

Someone deserving respect?

He appears frivolous,
but behind that,

he is a man of depth,
who is to be feared.

You would know.

I can't wait to meet him.

Where to?

The bathroom.

No need to accompany me.

Genjiro.

Yes.

Tell me the truth.

Do you think Hideyoshi's rule will last?

He's determined to end the warring era.

The Daimyo cannot engage in
battle without permission.

He's trying to standardize the
measuring squares for rice.

The Provinces will be unified
into one large country.

Which means, Genjiro...

no more raging battles!

I can understand how Father feels.

This isn't about Father.

It's about us.

We may have been born...

... a little late.

He looks unusually nervous.

I hope the Regent likes it.

These are top quality.

He should be pleased.

I'd want if for myself.

Excuse me.

Father...This is Sir Ishida.

I'm Sanada Masayuki.

I've been waiting for you.

Thank you for being good
to my son, Genjiro.

I'm his older brother...

Let us not waste time.

We came to inspect the Regent's gifts.

They are products from Shinano.

They are rare items which can't
be acquired in Kamigata.

Overall, it has a
displeasing color.

Let's switch it to a box
with vivid colors.

That would make it look
more attractive.

Arrange it at once.

Very well.

Thank you.

What is this?

Boar and bear furs.

It'll keep you warm in winter.

It smells.

Can't something be done about the smell?

That's how it is.

Put it away.

But...

Just put it away.

Since you brought it...

Shove it in the back.

Very well.

I'm Toyotomi Hidetsugu

Sanada Masayuki, thank you
for coming to Osaka.

Mitsunari.

Lord Sanada, your fiefs are secured.

No one can invade your fiefs
without the Regent's consent.

Thank you.

You will devote yourself to
the Regent as his subject.

That will be all.

How rude is that?

Father came from Ueda
to meet the Regent.

The Regent is a busy man.

He ignored Father.

Doesn't it upset you?

Of course, it does.

What does Hideyoshi think of Father?

He's concerned about Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Father repelled Ieyasu.

There's no doubt that
he acknowledges Father.

Then why is he being
treated like this?

We can't back down after
being ignored like this.

Unless we hear directly
from the Regent,

we cannot return to Ueda.

Tell Ishida that.

Genzaburo.

Stop saying I've been ignored.

I'm sorry.

How can Hideyoshi do this
after calling me here?

He's a big fool who knows
no etiquette.

He won't last very...

Father!

Someone might be listening.

Genjiro!

Sir Gyobu!

I heard Lord Sanada is here,
so I had to come see him.

Father, this is Sir Otani Gyobu.

He works with Sir Ishida
as governor of Sakai.

Are you Lord Sanada?

Your army of 2,000 confronted
Ieyasu's army of 7,000 at Ueda.

You are described as the
the second Kusunoki Masashige.

I've been wanting to meet you.

Is that so?
Please have a seat.

The Regent?

I have a favor to ask of him.

I can arrange that, but will you
heed my request in return?

Yes, of course.

I'm busy right now.

I have to prepare for the
Kyushu expedition.

Why don't you meet him?

You were playing cards with me all day.

Don't mention it.

My father was wrong in coming late.

But my father has his pride to uphold.

If he doesn't meet you,
his visit has no meaning.

My Father plans to go home
and prepare for battle.

It would not be wise to make
the Sanada into enemies.

If we gain the Hojo and
Tokugawa as allies,

we will stand before you
as formidable foes.

Are you threatening me?

Yes, I am.

I'm Regent and Daijo-daijin,
Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Lord Sanada Masayuki.

Thank you for coming here.

I wanted you as a subject very badly.

Your tactical strategies and courage...

I want you to use them for me
as a Toyotomi Daimyo.

All right?

Certainly.

I'm counting on you.

(Ishida) Mitsunari.

The Regent will establish
a new rule.

The peace edict is one of them.
You are aware of it, aren't you?

Yes.

However, if war breaks out,

the order of command must be clarified.

The Daimyo will follow the
nearest High Daimyo.

and obey their orders
in time of war.

Is that clear?

Yes.

Lord Sanada, you will be
under the Tokugawa.

The Tokugawa?

Please wait.

Regent.

Are you telling the Sanada to
become Tokugawa's vassals?

Not vassals.
Enforcement officers.

You will be providing aid.

Are you ordering my Father
to fight under the Tokugawa?

In return, the Sanada fiefs will
be protected by the Tokugawa.

If the Hojo invade, the Tokugawa
will act as your shield.

It's not a bad deal, is it?

What do you say to it?

Yes, sir.

On the way back to Ueda,
pay your respect to Ieyasu.

Depart tomorrow morning
and go to Sunpu (Ieyasu's new headquarter).

How clever of the Regent.

Who would have thought
there'd be a day when

Lord Sanada Masayuki
would bow to me?

So soon, too.

The human world is...
very interesting.

After the Takeda's demise
and until now...

we deceived and were deceived...

we betrayed and were betrayed...

and has desperately survived.

We staked everything we had...

to fight ingeniously.

The end result of all that...

is being the vassal of Tokugawa,
who is a vassal of Hideyoshi.

How interesting is that?

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

Father. It's getting chilly.

Come inside.

Genzaburo.

Genjiro.

Where did I go wrong?

Please tell me.

Where... did I go wrong?

You haven't done anything wrong.

Father, you've become
a Daimyo...

and can protect your fiefs.

So, now...

let's get some rest.

We leave early tomorrow.

Father.

I have something else to tell you.

I couldn't find the right time to tell you.

There's someone I'd like you to meet.

Please come in.

Sister (Matsu)!!

You're alive!

Matsu!

Unfortunately, she doesn't
remember any of us.

She doesn't remember?

She was traumatized.

Excuse me.

Please let me go.

Don't you recognize me?

Matsu! It's me, Genzaburo!

It's me, Genzaburo!

I'm your father!

You must have the wrong
person, after all.

That's not true.

Let's share our memories of
our homeland with her.

That might trigger her memory.

Father.

When you were little...

I'd carry you on my back
into the mountains.

Whenever I carried you one
my back, you'd pee on me.

Brother.

When I was a child, you'd
always make me cry.

You'd pinch my nose
with the crab claws.

Next.

There's a tall tree
in the central area.

We'd climb that together,

and mock the village men who passed by.

Like he's handsome, his head
is too big, and such.

Is that what you did?

When I was yet a child,

the dried up frog that you
gave me was very creepy.

Your older sister sounds
like a very odd person.

Father.

Don't look at me.

You always pee when I
carry you on my back!

Is that all you can say?

I'm sorry, but... I don't remember anything.

There's no need to rush.

Take it slowly.

Come. Let's get some fresh air.

Sound good.

I'm just happy she is alive.

I agree.

Good things will follow the bad things.

It evens out in the end.

Dry skin...

My heels are dry lately.

Look.

Oh my. It lacks moisture.

When you're lonely, it gets dry.

Kiri...

Yes?

You never did return the
hand mirror I lent you.

Matsu?

Father!

Genzaburo!

Genjiro!

Matsu!!

SURUGA - SUNPU CASTLE
(TOKUGAWA HEADQUARTER)

Per order from the Regent,

I, Sanada Masayuki,

will do my beast as your
enforcement officer.

You have my word on it.

Face me.

Lord Sanada.

Yes.

If Lord Sanada, who is
famed for his bravery,

allies with us,

we are secure.

I am counting on you.

Certainly.

Going forward...

let us work together.

Lord Sanada Masayuki..

became a Daimyo under the
Tokugawa from that year.

END OF EPISODE 18

Just a bit longer.

No one is coming.

You killed her parents.

No!

Father!

It's all for you.

You'll become the wife of the ruler.

Regent...

Shizuoka (Sunpu) City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

It was called the Tokugawa Ieyasu (Takechiyo) childhood home.

It was here where he spent years as hostage of Yoshimoto Imagawa.

At the Rinzai-ji Temple, Ieyasu...

met the monk Sessei, who served the Imagawa Clan.

From him, Ieyasu received instructions on military science .

Then, at age 16, he left Shizuoka to get married.

In Tensho 14, (1586)
Tokugawa became a Toyotomi vassal.

Ieyasu was 45-year-old at that time.

He returned to Shizuoka/Sunpu making it his new headquarters.

The following year Sanada Masayuki...

was ordered to come under the control of the Tokugawa.

Then, at Sunpu Castle, Masayuki came face-to-face with Ieyasu.

Fate has forced the Sanada to be vassal of their opponent, the Tokugawa!

The relationship between the two Clans
will get more complicated!
