Directed by MAKINO Masahiro

May, 1st year of Genna (1616)

Last Day of Osaka Castle

We're going to attack together from all four directions.

By evening, the battle should be over.

Father!

It will now be the era for the Tokugawa.

The Toyotomi glory will end short, in just one generation.

By the time the sun sets...

The Toyotomi rule will end and it will be my time to reign.

I wonder how she is doing, though.

Sen...

P lease forgive me.

Go ahead and cry, Sen...

Cry to your heart's content.

Although this is common practice in the warring era...

It is I, your husband, who is defending the castle...

...and your father and grandfather who are attacking the castle.

My poor wife...

Wife?

I, Sen, am your wife.

I am happy to be your wife.

I married you at the age of seven.

I was too young to know any better then...

And twelve years have passed since.

I've been happy with you all these years.

That will all end today.

My lord...

Cry... Cry for me.

Death will come soon.

And I worry for you.

We had a short time together.

Save Sen! Save my granddaughter, Sen!

Father!

I feel sorry for Sen!

Sen must be sacrificed for the sake of the Tokugawa!

Isn't there any brave warrior around?

Isn't there any loyal warrior to save Sen?

You can have anything you want as a reward!

Save Sen!

Save the princess!

Save Princess Sen!

You can have anything you want as a reward!

The Old Lord has given his word on it!

Save Princess Sen!

Lord!

Kimura Shigenari has died in action!

Excuse me!

Sen...

Go back to the Tokugawa.

No...

I will die here with you in this castle.

No.

I am your wife.

I am not a daughter of the Tokugawa.

Put out the fire!

Put out the fire!

The castle that the Regent built is burning!

Put out the fire!

My dear son, Hideyori!

My dear son!

The castle is burning!

Sen!

Mother.

Yes?

Your father is a demon.

Your grandfather is a monster in human form.

They've forgotten their obligation to the Regent!

Mother

It is common practice among warriors...

...in this era to fight among family members for power.

I do not resent anyone for it.

Sen is to be pitied.

Dear son, how could you...

Move aside!

Sen came to us at a very young age and lived amidst...

...the hostility and suspicion of being a Tokugawa spy.

Being that she is a samurai woman, she bore it until now...

...without crying and dedicated her life to me.

It will be her grandfather and father who will take her life.

Mother, as a farewell...

Please commend her once.

Mother...

As unworthy as I am...

I would like to die here with my lord.

The castle is burning!

My lord...

Close the gates!

My lord!

This castle will not hold much longer!

Please see the soldiers in the castle one last time!

Save Princess Sen!

Go!

Lord!

It's over for us.

Thank you for fighting hard to the very end.

Lord!

Confining ourselves in this castle with our moats filled...

Surrounded by the mass army of the Tokugawa...

...was a futile battle from the very start.

Kuroda, Nabeshima, Hachisuka and other Toyotomi daimyo lords...

...have abandoned me to side with the Tokugawa.

But you didn't leave me till the very end.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Farewell!

Farewell.

Lord!

Sen!

I gather you are Lord Hideyori.

Do you wish to take my head?

I am here to get Princess Sen.

I take you to be a man of heart.

What is your name?

Sakazaki Dewa Shigemasa the lord of Tsuwano.

You may take Sen.

Tell Ieyasu and Hidetada...

...to make Sen happy for me.

Excuse me.

Hikone Castle

Lord Sakazaki is here to see how you are doing.

Show him in.

Princess, you must be tired from your long trip.

I am here to see how you are doing.

It aches my heart to show my unsightly self before you.

Not at all.

A war wound is considered to be a priceless trophy.

Thank you for your kind words.

Lord Dewa, come closer.

I heard you were the last person to see Lord Hideyori.

So I can only ask you...

...to recall my lord.

Although we were enemies in battle...

He was a fine warrior, rare in these days.

Lord Dewa...

I want you verify with you once again...

Did he really order you to save me?

Yes, he did.

He wanted you to become happy.

That's what he told me.

Happy?

How cold of him.

What happiness is there for me to live on?

Princess, I sympathize with you.

As unworthy as I am,

I plan to guard you well until we reach Edo.

Excuse me.

Edo Castle

Lord Honda Sado reporting!

So you want me to give Sen to Heihachiro?

Princess Sen is your granddaughter,

and the Shogun's daughter.

Sakazaki, the lowly daimyo lord of 30,000-koku, is not

suitable for her.

But I already promised him he could have Sen.

He's distinguished himself in many battles in Osaka,

and had saved the princess.

But the age of military prowess has come to an end.

Will Dewa back down easily?

It'd be to our advantage if he makes a big deal of it.

Someone like Dewa is useful only during the turbulent times.

He could become a problem for us in the future.

We should get rid of him now.

The Old Lord is on his way over here.

Heihachiro is with the Honda family.

He is the lord of the 150,000-koku Himeji clan.

He is suitable as the groom for the Shogun's daughter.

Heihachiro will definitely cherish you.

The Shogunate has to build its foundation from now.

Now that the Toyotomi has been overthrown,

and the reign has become that of the Tokugawa's,

we must build our foundation for a hundred years ahead.

Your marriage to Heihachiro will benefit the Tokugawa.

For the sake of the Tokugawa...

Sasazaki Dewa's Mansion

Why can't I see her?

Tell the princess that I am here to see her!

Dewa!

Have you gone mad?

I understand how you feel.

But to create a ruckus now...

I may only be useful in battle, but...

My desire to make the princess happy is stronger than anyone.

Dewa!

Dewa. . .!

Lord Dewa...!

If marrying into the Honda family will truly make her happy...

Then I will give up on her.

I won't resent the Old Lord for breaking his promise.

I just want to know how the princess feels.

Is marrying Honda really going to lead to her happiness?

Will it?

Say no more!

Stop!

Lord Sado, aren't we going the wrong way?

You are mistaken on that.

It brings back memories of the time...

...we ran up the tower of the burning Osaka Castle.

At that time, Lord Hideyori...

...said to relay to the old badger, Ieyasu...

...to make Princess Sen happy.

And he entrusted Princess Sen with me.

I protected the princess.

I felt it was my duty to Hideyori to make her happy.

But with this monstrous face of mine...

I guess I am unfit for the princess, who was married...

...to Lord Hideyori.

Lord...

I sympathize with you.

Kanbei, have a drink.

I don't believe that...

...her marriage to Honda Heihachiro will make her happy.

She must be grieving over her lost of Lord Hideyori.

What?

What is the matter?

Nothing.

Tell me!

Tell me.

Lord!

The princess' procession is passing in front.

What?

Right behind it is the rifle squad.

Is it true that the rifle squad is behind the procession?

Which way did the procession go?

It went that way.

To get to the Honda mansion from Nishinomaru, Edo Castle...

...they do not need to pass my house.

They purposely made it a point to pass here.

Lord, please don't go.

Let me go!

I can't let them get away with such a huge insult!

I'll be a laughingstock if I let those rifles scare me!

There is only one path for me.

To rout the procession and welcome the princess here...

...even for a short time!

Then I'll slit my belly in apology to her!

Out of my way!

Lord!

Lord!

Princess!

Lord Sakazaki was shot by the rifle squad!

Princess!

Keep moving!

Sakazaki Dewa's Memorial Tablet

Reporting. The Lord is here.

What brings you here?

What do you mean by that?

Princess.

You are my wife from today on.

In name only.

What did you just say?

You just wanted to marry the Shogun's daughter.

You received a 100,000-koku stipend increase by marrying me.

And you secure the power of the Honda family.

Ridiculous!

This marriage was for the Tokugawa and Honda...

I'm having my way on this.

I won't allow you to join me in bed.

What will happen to me?

I have no sympathy for you.

I want to pray for the repose of Lord Dewa.

Lord, please take your leave.

You seem to have lost some weight.

It's been half a year since I came here.

We only have resentful...

...and hurtful things to say to each other the past months.

I heard the Lord has ruined his health from drinking too much.

I am a bad woman.

When my grandfather brought the marriage offer...

I shouldn't have gone along with it.

Princess...

I think I understand how you feel.

I want to help you carry out your will.

Princess!

Princess!

Tell her.

She's going to get married.

Getting married?

Ko, is that true?

Yes.

You seem happy.

Princess...

Can I get leave?

Unlike Sayuri and Shioji...

Aren't you from a commoner's background?

Is your groom also one?

Yes, he's a commoner.

Let's celebrate for her.

Yes.

Thank you.

The Lord would like Lady Sen to come to the main hall.

Is he drinking again?

Yes.

I'm not going. Tell him so.

Princess. I will go and tell him so.

Princess...

What? She's not coming?

The princess isn't feeling well.

Princess? What do you mean by "princess"?

Why aren't you referring to her as "Lady"?

Princess Sen is my wife.

What are you here for?

Are you planning to rat on me about all kinds of things?

No.

Say no more!

Why did you dodge that?

Doesn't it hurt?

Cry! Scream!

Why aren't you screaming?

How unsightly!

Why punish an innocent lady in-waiting?

Why not hit me instead?

Coward!

Wait, Sen!

Princess...

I am indeed a coward.

I took you as my wife to fulfill my ambitions.

But it's different now!

I want you!

I want to consummate our marriage!

Princess!

I didn't kill Sakazaki!

It was Lord Sado!

I had nothing to do with it!

I know what the princess is going through every day...

...and I'm leaving her. I am a very disloyal servant.

Please take good care of the princess.

Please do not worry.

Ko will definitely become happy.

What is the matter?

The Lord's condition has taken a turn for the worst.

Princess!

I feel sorry for Sen.

She's a pitiful girl.

It's your fault that she's been widowed again.

It was Heihachiro that should be pitied.

What are you saying? Heihachiro had TB.

I wasn't planning to telling you this, but...

The princess never went to bed with Heihachiro.

What? She never went to bed with him?

I don't believe that!

That is why he became reckless and led a dissipated life...

...that shortened his life.

Did you honestly think that I'd believe that?

You'll have no say on what becomes of Sen!

Let her do as she wishes!

Wait here until I relay the request to her.

Thank you.

A commoner is requesting to see the princess.

A commoner?

Turn him down.

You shouldn't even be bringing it to our attention.

I thought it might console the princess for a short time.

Einoshin...

I'll meet with him. Send him in.

How eccentric can you be.

He might tell me something amusing.

Isn't that right?

I spotted you here viewing the flowers, so I asked...

...to see you and you consented.

I, Iseya Kihei, am overjoyed.

Let's not be formal today. Feel free to tell me anything.

I am most honored.

I now have two things to tell my grandchildren with pride.

Two ?

The first one is, I got to talk to the Old Lord himself.

It happened when I was in Kamigata.

The summer campaign in Osaka had just ended.

I happened to find out where Osaka warrior...

...Chosakabe Morichika, was hiding.

When I went to report it to the main camp right away...

...the Old Lord had thanked me personally for it.

And he even gave me this medicine case as a reward.

It is a precious treasure to me, so I normally have it...

...safekept in the storehouse.

When I saw you here today, I sent my employee to get it...

...in a hurry for me.

What impudence!

Princess!

Princess!

Take down this curtain!

Princess!

I don't want to be inside the hollyhock crest!

Princess!

Are you having fun?

Yes. We owe it all to the Tokugawa.

Do you want to fawn upon the Tokugawa?

Are you happy to see the Toyotomi overthrown?

Tell me.

Dean

I waited on the Toyotomi.

I'm Hideyori's wife.

I'm Sen.

P lease forgive me.

Princess.

Princess?

Am I a Tokugawa princess or a Toyotomi woman?

Are you laughing at me for letting my husband die...

...and going back to the Tokugawa?

Why aren't you laughing aloud?

Go ahead and laugh!

Husband!

This is how it should be.

Everyone will curse me.

I was left behind alone.

I am a Toyotomi woman.

My father and grandfather...

...are my enemies who killed my husband, Hideyori.

For as long as I am a Tokugawa and am alive...

I will disgrace my father and sadden my grandfather.

Shimizu-no-Tsubone. . .

I want to be an evil woman.

Bring disgrace to the Tokugawa name...

...is my only way of getting revenge for Hideyori.

Princess...

I understand you feelings.

I am with you, Princess.

I will die with you.

Thank you for saying that.

How terrible.

She killed an innocent man for insolence!

That was truly awful!

She can't be forgiven even if she is the Shogun's daughter.

Why does the Shogun let her get away with it?

The poor woman.

The Shogun should kill Princess Sen as punishment.

I want... my husband back...

Princess Sen is here to watch the play.

She might tonight. . .

Watch what you say.

Did he commit suicide?

It looks like he was killed.

Isn't that the kabuki actor, Jinzaburo?

Let us take you to someplace nice. Come.

No.

If we let Princess Sen go...

...it will affect the Shogunate authority.

Father.

Sen is an unwanted existence to the Tokugawa.

Sado, I'll leave it to you.

Very well.

Wait.

Princess Sen has always been a smart girl.

She wouldn't behave so without a reason.

Nor would she commit unnecessary killing.

But it is a fact that she's killed the commoners.

And I don't understand it.

If I may humbly speak...

I think she's misconducting herself because of you.

What?

She was forced to marry Hideyori at the age of seven.

She was more like a hostage than a wife to him.

I'm sure the attendants there treated her coldly.

After the fall of Osaka Castle...

...the princess hadn't had any days of happiness.

Sakazaki Dewa, the only person she had trusted...

...was killed in a vicious scheme.

A vicious scheme. . .

Go on.

I heard she never went to bed with Heihachiro.

That is because...

Are you blaming me for that, too?

Yes.

Does Sen resent me?

Yes.

Does she resent me, too?

Yes.

What insolence!

Hold it.

I'm sure Sen will come around someday.

I'll wait till she comes around then.

I want my husband back!

Don't kill her.

Open the palanquin door.

Let her go.

Princess, you are a terrible person.

Do you hate me?

Yes, I hate you!

You killed my husband.

I, too...

Harlot!

Princess Sen!

Harlot!

I may be a lowly ronin, but I'm a human being.

You may look beautiful in from, but...

...you are a monster!

Harlot!

Townsfolk! Don't be afraid of her!

She may be the Shogun's daughter...

...but she's helpless on her own!

This woman...

...had her husband killed.

Say no more!

No, I will say it!

Look!

She's living comfortably!

She's an evil woman with a beautiful mask!

She's a monster!

Have some shame!

Don't kill him! Arrest him!

Identify yourself.

You want to know my name?

My name is...

Princess Sen Taro.

What insolence! How dare you say the princess' name!

Shut up!

Identify yourself!

Let it be Princess Sen Taro.

You seem to have a warped personality.

How long do you think you can keep that up?

How I'd love to see you scream in pain.

Scream!

Doesn't it hurt?

Apologize for you insult earlier!

No, I won't.

Beat me to your heart's content.

Harlot!

I ask again. What is your name?

Princess Sen Taro.

Tell me your name!

Are you a Toyotomi remnant?

I couldn't bear it.

My lord, Hideyori...

...must be grieving in his grave.

Untie him.

Princess!

I look down on you!

You are a monster in human form!

Why aren't you killing me?

I'll continue to call you names!

Kill me, harlot!

Harlot! Harlot! Harlot!

The only thing you can do is to...

...force the commoner men to go to bed with you.

Kill me, Princess!

Princess Sen Taro. . .

I shall personally. . .

As I wish!

What imprudence!

My Ladyship...

It is me, Katagiri Hayato.

Are you related to Katagiri Katsumoto?

Yes.

For the sake of our lord, Hideyori...

We are in hiding... waiting for an opportunity.

Even if I am to die...

No!

You are our only hope.

Please amend your ways.

Please forgive me for my insults to you.

Excuse me!

Don't die!

Hayato!

Don't die!

Listen to me, Hayato.

Princess...

I was married to Honda Heihachiro in name only.

Forgive my rudeness.

My heart is still with Lord Hideyori...

My lord, Hideyori, is...

I am still Hideyori's wife!

I apologize.

Please believe me!

I am misbehaving myself to dishonor my grandfather...

and to taint the authority of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Hayato! Please believe me!

The little bird has come back to us.

It was worth the wait.

Sen! What are you doing?

Stop!

Princess!

Don't harm her!

Princess, I'll take you on!

Princess!

Step aside, Tajima!

No!

Sen, are you trying to kill me?

You're my daughter!

I am not a Tokugawa family member!

I am Hideyori's wife!

Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hidetada!

I have a grudge against the Tokugawa vassals!

Grandfather and Father, you killed my husband.

You are my enemies.

Sen!

Grandfather!

Princess!

I am not a puppet.

Princess!

Lord Tajima...

I am, after all, a weak woman.

I hated my grandfather for destroying the Toyotomi, but...

Princess!

I'll hold this against you.

For as long as I live...

I will pray for Hideyori.

Princess.

Why, it's Ko.

Princess...

Ko, are you happy?

Yes.

I am extremely glad to hear that you are happy.

Thank you for coming.

Farewell.
