In September, 1614...

-What? -Ono Shuri in Osaka sent messengers.

Are they coming here?

To avoid the eyes of the Asano clan's guards, they are waiting for sunset.

Finally...

"As you might have already heard,"

"The Tokugawa clan's abominable tyranny is simply unforgivable."

"If both sides break up,"

"We want you to side with us. That's why I'm sending messengers."

"Please..."

"Please enter Osaka Castle."

"Signed by Ono Shuri-no-suke Harunaga"

My master said, "If you side with us, you will be treated with due respect."

Sir Saemon-no-suke, what's your answer?

I will send my reply later.

When?

-Later, I said. -Yes...

Well, then...

We will go back to Osaka and wait for a while.

The touch-and-go situation between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa clans were sensed by ronin.

They started gathering in Kyoto and Osaka.

The Toyotomi clan actively hired those ronin.

What's wrong?

Something alarming is going on between Shogun Hidetada and Lord Izu in Ueda.

Lady Komatsu's brother, Sir Honda Tadamasa, has been frequently moving between them.

The Shogun's family has not forgotten their anger at the Sanada clan.

I see.

If I move now...

My brother will suffer more...

So the message from Osaka was...?

If I side with Osaka...

How does my brother feel...?

If Sir Saemon-no-suke is thinking of entering Osaka Castle, we have to stop him.

But how?

-Lord. -I'm not sending a letter.

But, if Sir Saemon-no-suke enters Osaka Castle...

The Shogun's family will accuse our clan.

You cannot remain silent.

The Shogun's family will destroy our clan!

Forget about Saemon-no-suke.

-But... -Leave him alone!

He is him. I'm just me.

I'll handle it in my own way.

Brother...

Kakubei, why did you come back?

Why did you leave without permission three years ago?

It was all about my selfishness. Please forgive me.

After you left this mountain, my father died.

Since I found out, I have been feeling sorry for him.

I have been regretting my carelessness.

That is why I came back here to serve you again.

Sir Saemon-no-suke.

Please let me stay here again.

Sir Kakubei often goes to Ono Otsu's mansion in Kyoto.

"Brother Ryuge-in" (Masayuki's Buddhist Name)

Sir Saemon-no-suke!

All right.

-Sasuke. -Yes.

Contact all Sanada ninja often, so that they can gather any time.

One more thing.

Contact my late father's vassals in Ueda.

Ask them to make armors for me.

-Yes. -But...

Don't let Lord Izu find out.

Don't let anyone find out.

I don't want my brother to be accused in the future.

So...

Finally...?

Got it?

One more thing. Keep an eye on Kakubei.

Oko said he has been seeing Koga ninja.

Then...

Why are you letting him stay?

If I leave him alone, he might cause another problem.

It's been always like that.

I can keep an eye on him, as long as he stays with me.

Which is good for me.

If the worst happens,

You may kill him.

This is what Saheiji told me.

Saemon-no-suke hasn't written him.

Maybe Sir Saemon-no-suke refrains from doing so,

Because he doesn't want the Shogunate to think that we communicate with him.

I wanted to call him over someday and make him become the guardian for my children.

But I don't know if I can do that...

Because of Osaka and Edo...

For now...

You should forget about that while you are in this tea room.

Just forget everything.

SUNPU

Got spare change?

Katagiri Katsumoto hasn't come yet?

He's in there.

Osaka is growing impatient. They sent Lady Yodo's senior attendants to Sunpu.

They arrive here today or tomorrow.

Miss Oko told us to stay in touch closely, so that we can gather anytime.

Roger.

Katsumoto's request to see leyasu has not been heeded yet.

Having experienced disappointment, Katsumoto reported to Osaka about the attitude of the Tokugawa's.

STUDY ROOM, SUNPU CASTLE

Pressured Lady Yodo sent her senior attendants, Ladies Okura and Aeba, to Sunpu.

Ieyasu saw them immediately.

Ladies, please raise your heads.

Please.

Thank you for coming all this way.

Thank you.

You are welcome, sir.

Lady Okura.

Lady Aeba.

Is Lord Hideyori doing well?

Yes, he is.

That's good.

When I saw him three years ago, I was deeply impressed with his dashing presence.

He must have grown even stronger.

Yes.

LADY ACHA

As long as you make sure that nothing grave happens in the Osaka Front Town,

There is nothing to worry about.

Much obliged, sir.

We will be mindful.

It's completely different from what Sir Ichinokami (Katsumoto) said.

He also said, "Lord leyasu doesn't want to see me."

But he saw us right away.

He might have just been staying here, doing nothing.

You mean, he is betraying us?

Maybe he is just trying to put the Toyotomi and Tokugawa on bad terms...

Meanwhile, leyasu had Honda Masazumi visited Katsumoto.

I went to the Edo Front Town the other day.

I asked the Shogunate what they think about the inscriptions on the Hokoji Bell.

Then...?

They said they'll forget about the incident.

But...

It became such a commotion.

If the Tokugawa clan does nothing, it will set a bad example, they said.

Oh...

The Right Minister's (Hideyori's) clan does not think it can end like this, I guess.

So...

They agreed to forget about it,

If you accept one of the three conditions that I am going to tell now.

Yes...

Katsumoto left Sunpu immediately.

He caught up with Lady Yodo's senior attendants in Omi.

He told them the conditions Masazumi told him.

-Sir Katsumoto! -Don't tell me...!

OSAKA CASTLE Ladies Okura and Aeba

Returned Osaka immediately.

What's wrong with Ichinokami (Katsumoto)?

-Okura? -Yes...

Sir Ichinokami told us...

That the Shogunate made three conditions to the Toyotomi clan...

They told us to accept one of them.

What are they?

Number one.

Send Lord Hideyori to Edo.

Number two.

Send Lady Yodo to Edo.

And?

Number three.

The Toyotomi clan moves out of Osaka to a different province.

Honda Kozuke-no-suke told Sir Ichinosuke to accept one of them.

Mother.

Is that what Sir Ichinokami said?

That's right.

Sir leyasu didn't tell you?

Is that true, Mother?

What's going on?

Sir Ichinokami said, "Sir leyasu doesn't want to see me."

But he saw you and Lady Aeba immediately.

Isn't Sir Ichinokami plotting with Father and Son Honda?

-But... -Well.

Sir Ichinokami is related to Father and Son Honda.

What on the earth is Ichinokami doing?

He's back in Osaka. Why he hasn't come yet?

Right. That's unforgivable as a vassal!

What is he doing!?

He is staying home today, saying, "It is not a good day."

Would you like me to have a match with you?

I'd love to.

Do I start acting like my father?

Recently, I often wake up in the middle of night.

Yes.

The sun will be up pretty soon.

The Asano guards seem to have left already.

Well, what's going on these days?

Most people think East and West will break up pretty soon because of the Hokoji Bell Incident.

Well, that's not big enough for leyasu to start a battle.

What if the Toyotomi clan avoids battle?

Ieyasu won't forgive them, no matter what.

He wants to be a ruler.

So he has to crash the Toyotomi clan.

He must be waiting for the chance, isn't he?

As to the armors you told Sasuke...

We placed the order to Ueda.

Are you determined to descend the mountain, when the two sides break up?

Then, to Osaka Castle?

Are you going to execute Lord Awa's will?

That's part of it.

Oko.

Yes.

I have already been on Mt. Kudo for 15 years.

Yes.

Normally, I'm supposed to die here.

But, now...

East and West seem to be breaking up.

So I cannot stand staying here, doing nothing.

Die here or die in action, that's my life.

I'd better give it a try.

This is...

All about my ambition as a man.

How much am I able to do?

I want to test myself in a real world.

As a man...

I was born...

Iived...

...and died.

I want to make such a mark on the world...

I would like to help you...

To the best of my poor ability.

Thanks.

Any order for me?

Contact my late father's vassals.

Tell them to gather in Osaka.

-Understood. -One more thing.

Gather all Sanada ninja at the Kimi Pass.

Yes.

After we descend the mountain,

Go to Hikone with our children.

Ninja Kosuke is at Zeniya Store in Hikone.

Go there.

Yes...

Um...

Is Daisuke going with you?

If possible, can you entrust him to Lord Izu in Ueda?

If the worst happens,

He will be the only heir of Saemon-no-suke Yukimura's.

All right.

Good. Let's take a break, Daisuke.

Yes!

Daisuke.

I'm entering Osaka Castle pretty soon.

Your mother is going to Hikone with Aguri and Ume.

I want you to...

Go to Lord Izu's Ueda Castle.

Father, what are you going to do in Osaka?

To kill leyasu.

In such an emergency,

Your son must stay with you, Father.

No, Father.

I'm going with you by any means.

-Osaka will... -Yes?

Refuse to accept any of the three conditions, right?

You're right.

Lady Yodo doesn't know what feudal warlords are supposed to do.

Exchanging hostages is one of our customs.

Sometimes it's important to become a hostage for your own clan.

Such a naive girl.

Katagiri Katsumoto must be having a hard time.

Katsumoto is much more lenient than I thought.

Yes.

I need one more push...

From someone in Osaka Castle.

The next day,

Katsumoto, who had been procrastinating,

Finally came over to report on his trip.

The conditions presented by the Kanto side are all unacceptable.

But, if we don't accept one of them,

It will bring grave consequences for us.

I think the Toyotomi clan has only one choice.

We should move out of Osaka.

Shut up, Ichinokaimi!

Shut up!

Those conditions are all unbearable.

We cannot accept any of them.

If things turn out bad,

I'm going to stand or fall by Hideyori in this castle.

-No, that's... -Let me ask you, Sir Ichinokami.

While you were in Sunpu,

Were you just listening to whatever they said?

-What do you mean by whatever? -Also!

After you returned Osaka, why didn't you come over to report immediately?

Aren't they all seen as a betrayal?

For goodness sake...!

Aren't you taking advantage of your position as the magistrate for the Hokoji reconstruction project,

To the Toyotomi clan on the hot seat?

How rude of you!

I cannot help thinking that way,

Because you have shown all kinds of suspicious behaviors!

Sir Ichinokami.

Sir Oda Joshin...

-You're in trouble. -Trouble?

Someone is trying to assassinate you.

Be careful.

With his brother Sadataka's help,

Katsumoto barricaded himself in his mansion inside Osaka Castle.

It's all right to refuse Kanto's conditions.

But...!

Of all things...! They're trying to...!

They stigmatized me as a traitor, despite many years of my service...!

How can they try to kill me!

I won't let them kill you, Brother!

Sadataka.

Send urgent messengers to Sunpu, to report the Senior Shogun what's going on.

I will!

Ichinokami is whimpering.

How did it go?

Say, Acha.

Yes?

A while ago, I told the two women from Osaka that...

There's nothing to worry about, as long as nothing grave happens in the Osaka Front Town.

Did anything happen?

It did.

Something grave?

It is grave.

I guess I have to go.

On this day, leyasu decided to go to battle in Osaka.

Immediately, Nobuyuki was informed of the incident in Osaka.

Katagiri Katsumoto left Osaka Castle and entered his castle in Ibaraki, Settsu.

Several days before that,

Oda Joshin simply vanished from Osaka Castle, according to the letter.

-Finally... -Yes.

Nothing.

You may go.

Yes...

What is it?

Yes...

Tell me.

Yes.

Well, armor makers in the castle town received large orders for armor.

They are making armor now.

All the armor is painted in red.

We don't know who placed the orders.

-Is Armorer Kizaemon making it, too? -Yes.

-Shall I investigate into the ordering party? -No.

That's all right.

Yes...

-Shinnosuke. -Yes?

Don't breathe a word of it.

Yes, my lord.

This Yamanaka ninja house in Muromachi, Kyoto,

Was a rosary store officially.

If the two sides break up...

Sanada Saemon-no-suke will surely descend Mt. Kudo.

If that happens, Sanada ninja will come to Mt. Kudo.

SAKO KOSHIRO

Koshiro.

Yes.

I want to kill the Sanada ninja.

When that happens, I want you to help me.

How's that?

Yes...

Sir Tomo Naganobu...

Doesn't know how fearless Sanada ninja are...

The Tokugawa clan's ninja network has grown bigger.

It has grown too big...

Since the Lord of Yamato passed away...

Sir Tomo Naganobu hasn't valued the Yamanaka ninja...

And...

He pays no attention to me...

I'd be happy to help you, if you don't mind.

I am nowhere near your level, but...

I'd like to help you, Sir Nekota!

-I'm counting on you. -Yes!

On October 2, 1614,

The Toyotomi clan sent official messengers to Mt. Kudo.

Upon your arrival to Osaka Castle, you will receive 200 ryo (gold coins).

"Brother Ryuge-in" (Masayuki's Buddhist Name)

Father.

The time has come.

I am Koyata, sir.

Here you go.

Yes.

"Saemon-no-suke is entering Osaka Castle."

"From Kaku"

At the Toyotomi clan's invitation...

I'm going to enter Osaka Castle.

SANADA NINJA HOUSE, KIMI PASS I'm going to fight the Tokugawa

Once again, in Osaka.

I'm doing it only for myself.

I cannot force you.

What are you saying!?

We, too,

Want to revenge for Lord Awa who treated us as flesh-and-blood people.

We are determined to follow you with excitement in our blood.

Today, I received an order from the Shogunate to punish the Toyotomi clan.

The Senior Shogun is going to battle 5 days later, on the 11th.

We are leaving on the same day.

Prepare for battle promptly.

Yes, my lord!

However...

The commander-in-chief will be my first son, Nobuyoshi.

SANADA YOBUYOSHI

SANADA NOBUMASA Nobumasa, you help your older brother.

Furthermore...

Yazawa Yoriyasu, the chamberlain for Numata Castle, will support them as the guardian.

Lord...?

I'm not going to battle.

What...?

Dear...?

The letter from the Shogunate says, "the Sanada army shall not have Lord Izu."

"Instead, it shall be conducted by his son, Nobuyoshi."

If I go to battle, the Kanto side must become nervous, wondering when the Sanada betrays them.

Ina.

As soon as Nobuyuki goes to battle,

I have to send you to our clan's mansion in Edo as a hostage.

I would be happy to be of service to you.

Saemon-no-suke will probably side with Osaka.

To fight a losing battle.

Yet the Kanto side,

As well as the Osaka side,

Does not know how fearless Genjiro is.

Feeling small and choked...

Spending the rest of his life hiding from the Shogunate's eyes...

Such a life is worse than death to Genjiro.

Without missing his last chance,

He will try to test the Sanada's art of warfare in a real world.

But Osaka can't win.

Then...

Genjiro will run straight to get the Senior Shogun's head.

Enemy, who focuses on a single target, is dreadful.

Dear, you must be...

Envious of Sir Saemon-no-suke?

I am sorry.

Excuse me.

-Pour for me. -Yes.

But...

If Sir Saemon-no-suke enters Osaka Castle...

The Shogun's family will treat the Sanada clan...

After my father and brother confined themselves on Mt. Kudo,

I couldn't be of any help to them.

That's why I'll endure it, no matter what.

I'll endure it for my younger brother.

West Bailey, Inner Bailey, Second Keep

Another war-torn era was coming.

The record says, on this day, Mt. Koya had the first snow of the year.

Winter of 1614 was approaching.

Episode 34 THE END
