Here are familiar faces again tonight.

Don't be pushy!

Pardon our rudeness.

It is 1615.

In the Osaka Summer Campaign,

ronin joining the Toyotomi numbered several tens of thousands.

But their backgrounds were highly varied.

Master strategist Sanada Yukimura...

was the second son of former Lord of Ueda, Sanada Masayuki.

Yukimura had caused Hidetada to be late to Sekigahara...

by luring Hidetada into a lengthy standoff.

After his house was abolished, Yukimura stayed in Mt. Kudo,

waiting for the right time.

Here are familiar faces again tonight.

We are already finished.

Huh?

On May 6, 1615, the Osaka Summer Campaign began at Domyoji.

Osaka Castle

Reporting!

The situation at Domyoji is desperate!

What?

Goto Matabei was killed in battle!

So was Susukida Hayato-no-kami!

The Mori and Sanada are fighting...

to stop the Date and Asano!

Understood!

Reporting!

Kimura Shigenari was killed at Wakae!

What was that?!

Lord Chosokabe is retreating from Yao!

Pardon!

We fight!

Please wait! It's too soon, Sire!

But we will be defeated!

Our main army is at Tennoji!

We'll draw the enemy in and destroy them!

Todo Takatora's army took over 500 heads.

But, they were evenly matched.

The Todo lost 300 and the Ii lost over 100.

What's the matter, Sire?

If we defeat the ronin on the field,

the castle defenders will surely surrender.

There won't be any need to fire the cannon.

Princess Sen will be safe.

Masanobu...

Your meddling is not necessary.

I abandoned Osen long ago.

Osen...

Yukimura is at Chausuyama, and...

Lord Mori Katsunaga is at Tennoni South Gate,

while on the left is Lord Ono Harunaga.

Behind him are Lord Ono Harufusa and others.

- Understood! - Right!

Lord Chosokabe brings up the rear.

I understand.

Lord Akashi Kamon, take your elite Christian corps and hide in Senba.

When the fighting begins, go around the southern end of Chausuyama.

The south end of Chausuyama?

Strike the enemy's rear and attack Ieyasu's headquarters!

Attack Ieyasu's headquarters.

Brilliant!

The attack will commence...

as soon as Lord Hideyori arrives for battle!

Lord Hideyori will not appear.

Ono Harunaga

What?!

This is outrageous.

How can we fight without our commander-in-chief?!

It will crush the men's morale!

Lady Yodo will not allow it!

May 7

Chausuyama

Hear me, foes!

Hear me, allies!

Though the Kanto are 100,000 strong,

there is not one man among them!

Let us fight to the death!

Charge!

Sanada Yukimura Troops

Tokugawa Shogunate Troops

Battle of Tennoji, Okayama

Toyotomi 50,000 X Shogunate 150,000

Reporting!

The battle goes back and forth!

Lord Honda Tadatomo was killed!

What?!

Lord Ogasawara Hidemasa was killed!

Mother! We can no longer be patient!

Don't be hasty.

I am Commander-in-Chief! I cannot hide in my castle.

I will suffer eternal shame!

Father would be furious with me!

The war is lost if the Commander-in-Chief is killed!

Pardon!

Calm down!

Sire!

Sister! Harunaga's mansion is burning!

What?!

The fire was deliberately set!

Where is Kunimatsu?!

He was brought to the Main Compound.

It's dangerous here. Take him to the Yamazato Compound.

Go!

Osaka Castle, Yamazato Compound

Pardon me.

Princess Sen

This is difficult to say, but these are Lord Hideyori's children,

Lord Kunimatsumaru and Princess Yui.

This is Princess Sen.

I am Kunimatsu.

I am Yui.

Since this is the thick of battle,

please allow them to remain here at Yamazato.

Please, My Lady.

Bring my spear!

What are you saying!

- My mount! - Sire!

Though outnumbered, the enemy are fighting furiously!

But our forces are listless!

The Hatamoto bannermen are all useless!

Be patient, Sire!

I can't be patient!

The enemy will tire!

Water!

I don't want water!

Lord...

Allies are killing one another?

In the confusion, they cannot tell friend from foe.

Fool!

The allies are sunburned from the long trip here.

The foes are pasty-faced from holding siege inside.

I see...

Victory is clearly ours.

The castle defenders are faltering.

Masazumi...

Signal flare.

Signal flare!

Reporting!

Speak!

Sanada Yukimura's 3,500 broke through the fence...

and are coming here!

Take down the insignia.

Take down the insignia!

Charge! Charge!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Yorimasa! Oroku! Go!

My Lord!

Oroku! Get away!

You, too!

Take her, Suden! Take him, Katsumoto!

It's the end!

Calm down, Sire!

Assist me, Masazumi!

Please withdraw!

Ieyasu! Prepare to die!

Wretch...

He escaped?!

Ieyasu barely escaped with his life.

He fled from Tennoji to Kyuhoji-mura 7 miles away.

The Ogosho is safe!

Matsudaira Tadanao's troops have stopped Sanada Yukimura.

They are pushing him back!

Fine!

My mount!

Sanada Yukimura?!

Who are you?

Captain of Matsudaira Tadanao's gunnery squad, Nishio Kyusaku!

Submit!

You're a lucky wretch.

Osaka Castle - Main Compound

Intruders!

Fire!

Ono Harufusa

Please leave here!

The flames are spreading!

Please go to the Yamazato Compound!

Sire!

Sire!

The enemy has fallen into chaos!

The outcome is now certain!

Look...

The tower is burning.

The Iga ninja have done their work.

Osaka Castle - Yamazato Compound

Heaven has abandoned us.

The castle is lost!

How can I ever apologize to the Taiko?

Will you surrender? Or will you flee?

I will never surrender.

Rather than live in shame, I shall die with this castle.

The Toyotomi will be destroyed!

The glory of Naniwa was only a dream.

I have an idea, Sister.

I'll return Princess Sen to the Tokugawa...

and beg for your life and that of Lord Hideyori.

Return Osen?

Of course I will go with her and speak to them.

I won't beg for my life!

Concerning Princess Sen...

I also received a letter from the Ogosho!

He said if Princess Sen is returned, he will spare you.

Why didn't you tell us?!

I could not trust him!

He cannot be trusted.

Do you believe Ieyasu will keep his word?

Once we return Osen, it is over.

That, too, will be fine.

It is not my wish...

to keep Osen hostage and destroy her with us.

For samurai honor, let's send Osen back,

asking for nothing in return!

Please understand.

I reluctantly send you back to Lord Ieyasu...

to preserve the Asai bloodline!

Though we may never meet again,

I bid you stay well.

I will do as you say.

But, I will always be your wife!

Forgive me!

You were too good a wife for me.

Kunimatsu...

also Princess Yui...

go with Princess Sen and flee.

Yes.

Leave her side in the darkness...

and go to Furuta Oribe's camp.

Ujihisa will know what to do.

Yes.

I am relying on you, Ujihisa!

Go now.

Father!

On May 7, 1615, Osaka Castle, built with such care by Taiko Hideyoshi,

was enveloped by flames, tower and all.

Kyoto

The crimson skies over Osaka...

could be seen from as far away as Kyoto.

Kodai-in (Hideyoshi's Widow)

Ieyasu's Temporary Headquarters

The tower of Osaka Castle has burned down.

The Toyotomi have here met their doom.

Reporting, My Lord!

Speak.

Sanada Yukimura's head has arrived!

Excellent!

Will you see it, Sire?

Yes! Bring it here!

No! Sanada is only a ronin.

Throw it to the dogs!

Yes, Sire!

On the other hand, Kimura Shigenari died well!

I detected a pleasing scent when inspecting heads.

He had burned sweet fragrance to perfume his hair.

What's wrong with you?

You seem so listless.

Reporting!

What is it?

Princess Sen has fled the castle!

What? Osen has?!

Yes. She should be arriving here soon.

Excellent!

How I longed to see you.

My sister and Lord Hideyori have submitted.

Please be merciful, Sir.

Very well.

Osen!

Osen! Osen!

Are you alright?!

Fool!

Why didn't you die with Hideyori?!

Don't be angry, Hidetada!

That is absurd!

Once wed, you must remain with your husband.

Princess Sen returned under Lord Hideyori's orders.

A praiseworthy act.

We are glad for your return!

Thank the gods!

I was afraid...

that the worst had happened!

Then please be merciful.

Spare Lord Hideyori and Lady Yodo!

I beg of you, My Lord!

Thank you for your efforts, Lady Ohatsu.

Please!

Where are they now?

Are they in the Yamazato Compound?

Don't worry. I won't kill them!

On May 8, shogunate forces occupied Osaka Castle, now in ashes.

Lord Ieyasu and Lord Hidetada made their entrance.

Are they inside?

Yes, Your Excellency.

Tell them to come out.

Very well, Sire.

Wait.

My Lord...

They demand that all armor be removed...

and all swords surrendered.

Everyone must go out, one at a time.

Unarmed?!

Lord Ieyasu so orders.

Lord Hideyori...

What shall we do?

Let's refuse.

I, Hideyori, am the son of the Taiko.

I shall never appear before the daimyo...

in shame as a prisoner.

Forgive me!

It was my inadequacy...

that brought this misfortune upon you!

Fate decides the outcome of a battle!

No!

It was because...

I overestimated the loyalty of daimyo who served us!

Harufusa...

Bring gunpowder.

As we die, blow up the building.

The enemy must not see our corpses.

Okurakyo...

Yes.

Take my mother outside!

Nonsense!

I'll not let you die alone!

Live a long life and protect Kunimatsu and Princess Yui!

I am but an empty shell.

Without Osaka Castle...

and you...

I have no wish to go on living.

Let us, my son, go to the Taiko together.

My sons and I...

will respectfully accompany you!

Mother...

In the next world...

please give birth to me again.

My dear...

Let me be reborn again and again...

to bring the Toyotomi to glory once more.

Hideyori...

Is Hideyori weakening?

How long do we have to wait?

Drag them out!

Please wait!

I'll speak to them!

Sister!

No!

Unhand me!

Reporting!

What happened?!

Lord Hideyori and Lady Yodo appear to have killed themselves!

Suicide?!

Damn!

My Lord...

Edo Castle

Ogou...

Ogou...

Sister!

How nostalgic to see you...

When did you arrive in Edo?

Only just now.

Before leaving, I wished to see you.

I too wished to see you, Sister.

I prayed day and night for your safety.

I must go.

Where to?

Live long and be happy.

Sister!

The Asai line must never be ended.

Sister!

Sister!

Sister!

Sister...

The shogunate ordered an exhaustive roundup of Toyotomi survivors.

Chosokabe Morchika was arrested at the Yamashiro Hachiman Shrine.

He was executed at the Rokujo riverbank.

May 23 Kyoto-Nijo Castle

We captured Hideyori's children.

The son is eight years old, the daughter is seven.

What should we do?

I leave it to you.

Huh?

Will you allow the Toyotomi line to survive?

Or, will you end it?

The Shogun must decide.

I understand, My Lord.

My Lord...

Princess Sen and Lady Jokoin are here.

Okay, admit them.

I am honored to see...

Closer, come closer.

We have come to beg for the lives...

of Lord Kunimatsu and Princess Yui.

It cannot be allowed.

Hideyori committed the crime of treason and fomented revolt.

It is only right that his entire family be punished.

I beg to differ, My Lord.

In exchange for Princess Sen,

the Ogosho promised to spare Lord Hideyori and Lady Yodo.

Therefore, I ask that mercy be shown instead...

to Lord Kunimatsu and Princess Yui.

Lady Jokoin...

what you're saying is not correct.

Though Hideyori and Lady Yodo were promised their lives,

they willfully killed themselves!

Grandfather!

What is it, Osen?

I am Hideyori's wife.

What?

If you must kill Kunimatsu and Yui,

please kill me as well!

Don't be absurd!

You have been divorced and returned to the Tokugawa!

You said yourself that I should have died with Hideyori!

Hidetada...

Let Osen adopt Hideyori's daughter...

and let her take the vows.

Why not send her into a suitable temple?

Masazumi...

Yes, My Lord.

What about Lord Kunimatsu?

You cannot spare him!

Osen!

This is the samurai way!

How cruel!

Please...

Please be merciful!

Pitifully, Hideyori's son Kunimatsumaru...

was executed at the age of eight at the Rokujo riverbank.

Yui was sent to Tokeiji Temple in Kamakura...

and became a nun who was known as Tenshuni.

Thus, the great Taiko's bloodline ended,

and the Toyotomi were destroyed.
