Nakurumi Castle fell by the Hojo army's sudden attack.

The chamberlain, Suzuki Mondo, committed suicide to take responsibility.

My Lord!

The attack by the Hojo was carefully plotted by Hideyoshi.

Otoku was another victim who died because of this plot.

OCTOBER 1589

Near Osaka Castle,

BIZENJIMA, OSAKA the Sanada has a lodging for its ninja.

How was Odawara?

The Hojo has no intention of explaining to the Regent, nor going to Osaka.

Still...

The Regent got mad at the Hojo attacking Nakurumi without his permission.

He seems to have decided to attack Odawara.

-Is that true? -Yes.

I sneaked into Osaka Castle several days ago and saw the Young Lord.

He said the Regent ordered him to return to Ueda and join the Sanada army.

He is going to attack Odawara...

Saizo, Jimpachi.

Saizo, Jimpachi. Accompany Sir Genjiro on his way to Ueda.

Accompany Sir Genjiro on his way to Ueda.

Understood.

At the end of the year, Yukimura left Osaka to go to Ueda.

It's been 4 years!

Yes.

Osaka is a vibrant city.

There are many big merchants in Sakai, Izumi Province.

They have European and Chinese visitors, adding a glamorous atmosphere to the city.

They have European and Chinese visitors, adding a glamorous atmosphere to the city. One of the big merchants is called Sen-no-Rikyu, a tea ceremony master.

One of the big merchants is called Sen-no-Rikyu, a tea ceremony master.

He is the head tea ceremony instructor to the Regent.

-Tea ceremony? -Yes.

I brought tea ceremony utensils for Father and Brother.

Really?

I prefer sake to tea.

Brother Genji, how could you dare live in Osaka idly.

Kakubei.

What do you mean?

When you were goofing off at Osaka, the Sanada were having a hard time.

Genjiro has nothing to do with it.

How dare you talk like that, with a complacent air.

Am I making you irritated?

-What do you want me to do? -I'm not telling you to do anything.

Never mind, Genjiro.

What?

I want that sword.

This one?

Please give it to me.

But this is a gift from the Regent.

Even if you are asking me, I cannot give this away.

I can give you anything else.

-Name it. -No, I really want that.

Kakubei, don't be willful.

-Please! -Kakubei!

I got it!

Kaku!

-Kakubei! Give it back to him! -No, Brother.

All right. You can have it.

I lost. You won.

-Are you sure, Genjiro? -Yes.

He only got a sword. If it was a real battle, he might have gotten my head.

You don't want that?

-I said you can have it. -No!

Did I beat you up, Brother Genji?

Yeah, I lost.

Then, let me tell you.

My name is Kakubei.

I want you to stop calling me by the childish name, Kaku!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I see. I will start calling you Kakubei.

Stupid Kaku. He spoiled the party.

Yes. What a bad boy.

Well, let's forget it.

Brother.

They have blue eyes!

Jinpachi, what the heck is that?

Hey, lower your voice. Sasuke is sleeping.

Europeans must be monsters, not humans. Right?

No, no, no, no!

They are real humans who live beyond the ocean.

Real human? What's that?

Ah, Sir Tsuboya!

Saheiji, how's your first homecoming visit in a while?

Sir, please come in.

Here you are.

Sounds like you guys were having fun.

Yes. We were telling Yoshizo and Toji about foreign countries.

Dummy Jinpachi said Europeans have blue eyes.

That's right, Toji. They have blue irises, instead of black ones.

You're just taunting me, because you know I've never seen them.

-I'm telling the truth. -Sir Matagoro.

He's right.

They have red hair, too.

I've seen the ones with golden hair.

Golden?

When I went to Sakai with Sir Genjiro, I saw foreigners there.

Then?

Then? Their eye color and skin color are different from ours.

Their eye color and skin color are different from ours.

The ones from the Southern Ocean have bronze skin.

Bronze skin? What the heck is that?

Sir Matagoro, they must be making up stories, aren't they?

Oh, no.

Sir Matagoro has a good sense of humor, too!

What is Genjiro doing?

He must be having a nice talk with his brother.

How long do they want to talk?

Why hurry? You have time tomorrow.

What is the matter, dear?

Just... my back is itchy.

Why don't you come over?

Are you going to scratch it for me?

I see. Great.

Well, then, go ahead.

I see.

There. Lower. More right. Lower.

It tickles!

There. A little more right.

There!

You haven't found out the whereabouts of Kotaro, Miss Otoku and our sister Okiku?

We don't know if they are alive or not.

-Is she called Otoku? -Yes.

Didn't you hear about her? She died.

On her way to coming over here to let us know the about the fall of Nakurumi Castle.

You were concerned about her so much.

What a short life...

I hope she died thinking she had a happy life...

Did the Hojo...

Attack Nakurumi all of a sudden?

No time for a counter-attack?

Didn't Father try to recapture the castle?

He didn't send a single soldier.

Sounds like he abandoned them...

I am sorry.

That's all right.

Probably, Father waited for the Regent's decision.

By the way, Genjiro.

You've grown bigger.

Yes?

Your caliber has grown higher.

Do you think so?

You might not have noticed yet, but you went to the Uesugi's, and then, to Osaka.

By meeting remarkable people, you have grown mature as a person.

-Excuse me. -Yeah.

-I am sorry for bothering you late at night. -Not at all.

Sir Genjiro, I want to thank you again for sending rare items from Kyoto and Osaka.

-You have done a lot more for me... -Quit being formal.

Yes.

How do you like Ueda?

I am having fun finding plants and flowers I'd never seen in Mikawa.

There are open-air hot springs near here in Bessho.

Oh!

-You haven't been there? -No, I haven't.

I can't wait.

Is she pregnant yet?

Does Kaku drink sake like that all the time?

No, normally he behaves himself. He's just happy to have you who can accept his willfulness.

Why don't you find a bride for Kakubei?

He might settle down then.

I won. I beat up Brother Genji!

I won!

I won.

On January 12, 1590,

Hideyoshi ordered other generals to go to battle.

In his letter to the Sanada, he enclosed a letter from Ishida Jibu Shoyu Mitsunari.

My goodness!

What did Sir Jibu Shoyu say?

Be happy!

Mondo's wife, Kotaro and my daughter Okiku are all alive.

Where are they now?

He doesn't say where they are, but they are protected by Toyotomi men.

I am glad they are alive.

Yeah. If they are all dead, I wouldn't know how to apologize to Mondo after I die.

But... I wonder why Sir Jibu is involved in the Nakurumi matter.

I wonder why...

I received an order from Osaka to go to battle around February 10.

What shall we do?

Just relax.

-Matago. -Yes.

I'm guessing...

The army attacking Odawara will be at least 200,000-strong.

In that case, we don't have to fight at all.

I thought my daughter in Nakurumi was dead. But she is alive.

You mean, Miss Okiku?

Yeah. That's what was written in the letter I received today.

I am glad to hear that.

I'm glad, too.

Matago. You don't have a child, do you?

I had a boy when I was in Kai.

Where is he now?

I don't know.

Don't know his whereabouts?

No.

Don't you want to see him?

I abandoned him, so I have no right to see him as his father.

I see. You have a child, too.

UEDA CASTLE

On February 10, Masayuki left Ueda Castle with 3,000 soldiers.

Meanwhile, Hideyoshi led a vast force and left Osaka for Odawara.

To pass the Kyoto City with his great army, he made the Sanjo Ohashi Bridge into a stone bridge.

MASAYUKI'S HEADQUARTERS The Sanada army was waiting for

The Uesugi and Maeda armies at the Usui Pass.

Matsuida Castle is further down from here. Isn't it owned by a Hojo vassal, Daijoji Masashige?

Yes.

To the northwest from there is Sakamoto Castle.

Before the Uesugi and Maeda arrive, I want to capture those two castles.

We can talk about that later.

-Now, Genzaburo. -Yes.

-Go out and scout those two castles. -Yes.

I can do that.

That's all right, Genjiro.

You aren't an ordinary soldier now. You're a precious soldier sent from the Regent.

Got it?

Yes.

Please.

Sir Genjiro.

Kaku.

No, Kakubei.

What is it?

I want you to do me a favor.

A favor?

What is it?

Brother has to go scout with a few soldiers.

Can you secretly follow him with 20 soldiers to protect him?

Yes.

Young Lord.

Sir Kakubei is following us.

Genjiro must have sent him.

-That's Sanada. -Report to the Lord.

Halt!

Young Lord.

We are surrounded.

Young Lord.

Just fight them!

Advance!

Brother Genza!

Withdraw! Withdraw!

Don't chase them!

Brother Genza!

Well-done.

Kakubei!

Kakubei!

Kakubei!

Well-done, Kakubei!

You protected Brother. I asked the right person.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Brother Genji.

What's the matter? You look depressed.

You are overjoyed like this, but Brother Genza just said, "Well-done."

His life was in danger.

Hey, Kakubei.

Brother Genza has changed.

He hasn't changed.

Since he married the Tokugawa princess, I think he has changed...

Kakubei!

Watch your tongue.

The Uesugi and Maeda armies joined the Sanada army at the Usui Pass.

They captured Matsuida and Sakamoto Castles easily.

They headed for the Hojo's home, Odawara.

The Toyotomi army became 250,000-strong in Odawara. They besieged Odawara Castle completely.

"I can crush the Hojo without fighting,"

Thought Hideyoshi confidently.

He brought many prostitutes from Kyoto and Osaka.

He has no intention of initiating an attack.

It was a 250,000-strong great army. Everybody thought the Hojo would kneel down to the strength.

Everybody thought the Hojo would kneel down to the strength.

Hideyoshi was confident.

ODAWARA CASTLE On the contrary, in Odawara Castle,

HOJO UJIMASA Hojo men were having a series of discussions.

If this goes on, we will run out of provisions.

So what? Are you telling us to kneel down to Osaka?

That's not it.

I'm saying we have to make a decision right now.

Then, what do you want to do?

That's why we gathered here to think about what we should do.

The Monkey!

HOJO UJINAO Father.

Don't you think we should have gone to Osaka?

What are you saying?

What are you saying? The Nakurumi incident was plotted by the Monkey.

The Nakurumi incident was plotted by the Monkey.

Knowing that, are you telling me to apologize to him?

But...

If this goes on, we will run out of provisions.

Hey! So what?

Are you telling us to kneel down to Osaka?

No!

If only Sir Date would help us, it could work out.

MASAYUKI'S HEADQUARTERS

Sir Ishida is here, sire.

Sir Jibu!

Oh, my.

I am Ishida Jibu Shoyu, an aide for the Regent.

I am Lord Sanada Awa.

Thank you for your letter.

I brought the three people from Nakurumi.

Is that true?

Oh! My goodness!

Kotaro. Mrs. Suzuki.

Okiku!

Excuse me then.

Thank you very much.

I am glad you are alive.

I am very sorry!

Your precious castle was taken by the enemy.

Oh, no.

I am very sorry!

Please let me apologize to you for my husband!

I am the one who has to apologize.

I owe you for your husband's death. I'm sorry!

Forgive me!

One more thing...

About Miss Otoku.

She is still missing...

Okiku. Come over here.

Okiku.

Your mother is...

Your mother is dead.

Otoku left me Okiku.

Left me Okiku!

Kotaro.

I'm glad you are alive.

Yes.

Father.

I think the Regent will return Nakurumi to us.

In that case, you should appoint Kotaro as the chamberlain.

That's great.

If you are still worried, you can send him a dependable vassal.

-You're right, but... -Father.

I hope you didn't forget how Sir Mondo died.

I will never forget.

Kotaro. Did you hear what we said?

If I may humbly speak to you, my Lord...

I don't want to be in charge of a castle.

Kotaro.

I don't want to be a leader.

I want to work for a capable master.

Do you have someone in mind?

I want to work for Brother Genzaburo.

Kotaro.

I wasn't born to be a leader.

Please hire me as one of his vassals.

Please.

Father.

It's all up to you, Brother.

You should make a decision.

What do you think, Genzaburo?

As he wishes.

Thank you very much.

ODAWARA CASTLE It is April now.

But nothing has happened in Odawara.

No change in early summer, either.

Hojo is still holding up in Odawara Castle. They haven't made up their mind yet.

If this goes on, we will run out of provisions.

You keep talking about provisions.

If only Sir Date would help us...

-If only Sir Date... -But...

We haven't heard from him, which means...

We should have gone to Osaka. We should have stopped being stubborn.

What shall we do?

For several months,

The Hojo were just repeating fruitless discussions currently known as the "Odawara Conference."

-Sir Mikawa. -Yes.

The Hojo were relying on Date's brat, who told me that he would side with me.

This will be the end of the Hojo family, then.

They are your in-laws.

My daughter married into the Hojo.

If they would only listen to me, I could be more patient.

-Please do not worry about me. -Really? Good.

I must start thinking about the future...

Where are you going?

To pee.

Sir Mikawa, you want to join me?

Yes. I will accompany you.

-As to Numata... -Yes.

-I'd better return it to the Sanada. -Yes.

As to your Suruga Province...

Who should take it over if I have to give it away?

Where shall I go?

I will give you 8 eastern provinces.

I want you to be in charge of the East.

I will gladly accept that.

This is currently known as the "Pissing Together On the Kanto (Eastern Japan)."

This is how Hideyoshi ordered leyasu to move to Edo.

Not yet!

Not yet! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Be happy! We got Numata back!

Really?

Congratulations!

But Sir Mikawa is moving to the Kanto Region.

He has been moved to Kanto.

Who's taking Suruga then?

Nakamura Kazuuji's taking over.

The Regent drove Sir Mikawa out of Mikawa, Totoumi and Suruga Provinces.

Did Sir Mikawa...?

He agreed!

Ieyasu is an amazingly patient man.

He's tough. He's fearless.

I can't act like him.

Anyway, we have an annoying neighbor now.

In July, the gates at Odawara Castle finally opened. The Hojo surrendered.

Hideyoshi ordered Ujimasa to commit seppuku.

He expelled Ujinao to Mt. Koya and made a triumphant return to Osaka.

NOBLE FIREPLACE ROOM The Hojo project...

Produced an excellent result.

Yes.

Sanada will not complain after they have Nakurumi back.

Takumi, I will give you a prize.

Name it.

For the sake of your future, I would like to empower our ninja.

Please consider that...

Enough of ninja!

I am the ruler of Japan now.

I am the ruler of Japan now. You want to harm my reputation?

You want to harm my reputation?

A Ruler is not supposed to snoop around.

-I will give you as many fiefs as you want. -Oh, no.

-I will give you as many fiefs as you want. -Oh, no. Leave your ninja as they are now.

Leave your ninja as they are now.

Hey, Takumi.

My next target is beyond the ocean.

Beyond the ocean.

Father.

Father. Brother.

I received a letter from the Regent. He wants me to return to Osaka as soon as possible.

-To Osaka? -Yes.

By the way, I'm thinking of giving Numata to Genzaburo.

-You shouldn't do that. -Why?

He will be in charge of Ueda Castle after you pass away.

He shouldn't stay in Numata.

You can simply send a chamberlain there.

Father.

I'm going to Numata.

-Brother. -No, that's the best choice now.

You will return here someday.

-In that case, you can live here. -No.

Listen.

Ueda is our fortress in Shinano while Numata is our fortress in Kozuke.

Both are Sanada's main castles.

Since Father is in Ueda, I have to enter Numata.

Uncle Yazawa can go there, but he is getting old.

I am the only person who can go there.

I understand.

Daddy!

Ah, Okiku.

Okiku. I'm glad you came.

Hey, Okiku. Come over here.

So you came all by yourself.

Good girl.

I see.

Okiku.

Okiku.

Your brother is going to Osaka.

Your other brother is going to Numata soon.

Only you are going to stay here with me.

Okiku. Be a good girl, O.K?

-Ina. -Yes.

-We are going to Numata. -Yes.

Not at all.

Dear.

During the daytime, Miss Okiku was playing here by herself.

Yeah?

Looking at her, I started feeling sorry for you...

How come?

I'm not pregnant with your heir yet.

Don't worry.

You might get pregnant if we move to a different place.

But...

If I cannot get pregnant...

You should have a concubine.

What are you saying?

I am sorry.

Sunset in Ueda is truly beautiful.

We don't get to see it after we move.

Then, I wonder when...

No.

Nothing.

Next year (1591), Nobuyuki received the 5th junior court rank, became the Lord of Izu, and moved to Numata.

He became the first Sanada owner of Numata Castle.
