On October 1, 1614...

Ieyasu issued an order to punish Osaka.

On the 11th, the Sanada army, led by Nobuyuki's first son, Nobuyoshi, left for battle.

The next day,

Nobuyuki's sister Okiku's husband, Takigawa Sankuro, visited Ueda Castle.

Sir Sankuro.

I'm glad you came.

I'm sorry for having not seen you for a long time.

That's my line.

You're looking good, sister.

-You, too. -Yes.

Is Kiku doing well?

Yes, she is.

No baby yet?

Um... not yet...

-Not yet? -Yes...

What are you doing?

But a baby is a present from God. Right, Sir Sankuro?

Yes, indeed.

Please come in.

Thank you.

I heard your sons went to battle.

I am not allowed to go.

That's the order from the Shogun's family.

I can see your sons in Osaka.

What do you mean?

I have joined the Senior Shogun's army as his courier.

-The Senior Shogun's? -Yes.

But I have to fight Sir Saemon-no-suke...

Well...

This must have been made in heaven. I cannot go against it.

Well...

I wonder if Sir Saemon-no-suke is pushing himself too much...

I wonder if he entered Osaka Castle just to die in battle, not to win or lose.

What about you?

Yes?

The Senior Shogun's courier is not pushing yourself too much?

I don't push myself.

I took this job, because I have no reason to decline.

If I get tired of it, I'm going to run away.

Not swimming against...

That's the Jinen School teaching... I want to live that way.

I envy Saemon-no-suke who can survive while he knows he is pushing himself...

I envy your way of living, too.

You two are dazzling to me.

Brother.

Never let the Tokugawa crush you.

On October 11,

Ieyasu left Sunpu with only 500 soldiers.

He was slowly heading west while enjoying hawk-hunting on his way.

OSAKA CASTLE

Meanwhile,

Hideyori held strategic meetings every day

With other lords and generals, who came over to restore the Toyotomi clan.

Gentlemen.

How shall we fight the Kanto army?

Please speak up your ideas.

Sir Saemon-no-suke.

The Kanto army hasn't arrived yet.

Lord Hideyori, you should personally put your umajirushi (horse insignia) at Tennoji Temple.

Then, capture Fushimi Castle.

Set fire in Kyoto, and set camps in Uji and Seta.

A small army can block a grand army better, when it utilizes big rivers.

Don't let the Eastern Army cross the river.

While they get stuck, we can send messengers to western provincial lords.

I'm sure some of them will side with us.

Even if things go against us, we still have time to protect this castle.

It's not too late.

Sir Sanada's idea really makes sense.

But...

Are you telling the Right Minister (Lord Hideyori) to leave this castle?

Yes.

However...

Setting camps in Uji and Seta means he has to go out and fight?

Yes.

He has to take his soldiers outside the castle?

That's right.

But...

If our soldiers go out of the castle...

What's the matter?

It will cause various concerns, won't it?

Like what?

Well...

Various concerns...

Lady Yodo is here.

Gentlemen.

Thanks for your hard work.

Well, how's it going?

Yes...

Someone just talked about going out of the castle to attack the Eastern Army...

What are you saying!?

Move soldiers out of the castle? Who's going to protect the Right Minister?

Shuri.

Do you want to fight outside the castle, too?

I personally...

Just fight here!

Yes!

Gentlemen.

We are going to hold in this castle.

Yes.

Daisuke.

That's south of the outer moat.

Yes.

Also...

I want to take command in Osaka Castle once.

I would build a fort outside the structure.

Beat leyasu and make the Sanada's name throughout this country again...

Once again...

Throughout this country...

Ah, you were here.

Oko.

What do you think?

Yes?

I'm thinking of building a fort here.

Yes.

I don't want anyone to interrupt me.

On October 23,

Ieyasu arrived in Kyoto and entered Nijo Castle.

Katagiri Katsumoto visited leyasu there

To yield information from Osaka.

This is what I overheard.

The Osaka side is going to hold up in the castle.

What?

Well, we should talk about that.

Thanks a lot, Ichinokami.

You are welcome.

Stupid Katsumoto.

He knows nothing.

He thinks I don't know the structure of Osaka Castle.

What an idiot.

As to them holding up in the castle, he was talking as if no one else knows.

Oh, that thing... holding up in the castle...

Yes?

It's no good if they hold up in the castle.

If they barricade themselves in, you don't know how many years it will take...

Father.

Are you putting water into this moat?

No, it'll be empty.

Lord.

Sir Goto Matabei is here.

Ah, Sir Goto.

I have something to complain to you.

What's wrong?

South of the castle is my territory.

My goodness...

How dare you build a fort without my permission!?

I got permission from Sir Igi Shichiroemon who supervises the overall reconstruction project.

He didn't tell me!

What should I do...

The lumber and bamboo you are using now were delivered for me to use in my territory.

Then, please give it to me.

What?

Please give it to me.

I can't.

Please!

The fort-building project is progressing like that. So please...

No!

Sir Sanada, why are you fixated to the south of the castle?

What do you think of the strategic meeting?

Well...

I thought your idea of fighting in Uji and Seta was great, but...

-That's a different... -We decided to hold up in this castle.

So we have to be well-guarded.

I'm asking why you want a fort south of the castle!

That doesn't sound like you, Sir Goto.

To protect a castle, you have to strengthen less-guarded, easy-to-attack areas.

You think the main force of the Tokugawa army is coming from the south, too?

Yes.

Are you going to place yourself there?

In the battlefield, isn't it the same wherever you place yourself?

I understand!

I'll give it you!

Yukimura's fort was located 40 ken (73 m) outside the outer moat of Osaka Castle.

It was surrounded by an empty moat.

It's horizontally long- and vertically short-shape looked like a crescent moon.

However, a bad rumor on his fort started spreading in the castle.

That's right. I gave my territory to Sir Sanada.

-Is that all right? -What do you mean?

Well...

I'm just wondering why he is building it outside the castle.

Some people in the castle are saying,

"He wants the fort outside the castle to communicate with the Tokugawa."

What?

Well...

The Tokugawa has Sir Sanada's older brother, Lord Izu. That's why...

Do you agree with them?

Well... I just...

Then, why don't you suppress such a rumor?

Sir Saemon-no-suke is going to fight by himself outside the castle,

Because of morons like them.

Lord.

Sir Sanada is here.

-Escort him in. -Yes.

Excuse me.

What is it?

Shogun Hidetada's army has not arrived yet.

So I want to capture Kyoto and Fushimi now. What do you think?

Originally, I was thinking of advancing to Omi before leyasu arrived.

Originally?

Well...

It's a battle plan that I heard from my father, Lord Awa.

Since we cannot do that...

We should venture to attack Nijo Castle where leyasu is.

-Interesting! -At the same time...

We should capture Fushimi Castle.

Even if we cannot kill leyasu, it will make some achievements to lift our spirits.

I'll go to Fushimi.

How many soldiers?

The enemy hasn't rallied yet, so...

...10,000.

-I'll attack Nijo Castle. -How many soldiers?

200 or 300.

Only 200 to 300?

Better to have a small army at a time like this.

I'll set fire.

You can't do that.

We already decided to hold up, so we shouldn't have unnecessary battles.

Unnecessary?

We shouldn't waste our soldiers.

Are you being apprehensive about holding up in the castle?

It's not the matter of apprehension or security.

I just want to win.

Making peace is another form of battle.

Sir Shuri.

If we make peace now, we will lose.

Whoever wins wins.

What?

Well...

As long as the Toyotomi clan survives, victory or loss doesn't matter to us.

We can hold up in this castle more than three years.

Ieyasu is 73-years-old now.

He doesn't have much time left.

If leyasu dies, the political situation will change.

Then...

We can make peace in an enhanced position.

What a leisurely plan!

We needn't provoke a fight.

Shogun Hidetada left for battle after leyasu.

He arrived to Fushimi on November 10.

The next day, he visited leyasu at Nijo Castle.

Now, how are you handling things in Edo while you are on campaign?

Yes.

As to former Toyotomi daimyo lords, such as Fukushima, Kuroda and Kato,

We ordered them to stay in Edo, so that they can't make any movements.

That is a great job.

Not at all.

Sir Naganobu.

How are things in Osaka?

After they decided to hold up in the castle,

Sanada Saemon-no-suke started building a fort.

There's nothing to worry about.

Once we tear into it, it won't last two seconds.

I'm going to Osaka in two days.

What shall I do?

Please wait in Fushimi.

Yes.

On my way to Osaka, I'm seeing Master Carpenter Nakai (Lord of Yamato).

I want to use cannons to threaten Osaka Castle.

So I need to talk with him about a turret for my cannons.

Naganobu.

Yes.

Gather miners and have them dig a tunnel to underneath the castle.

Yes.

And...

Spread a rumor that Osaka Castle will be bombed.

Yes.

This fort was called the "Fort Sanada."

It had various designs invented by Yukimura.

It was almost complete.

Sir Saemon-no-suke.

Ah, Sir Igi.

We just captured a suspicious man who was trying to get into the castle.

He claims he knows Sir Saemon-no-suke.

What's his name?

Mukai Saheiji, he said.

My goodness...

Do you know him?

-Please bring him to my office. -I will.

Shume!

-Tell Sasuke to come to my office. -Yes.

Saheiji...

I couldn't stand still, so I left my clan.

Please let me fight with you.

I might have a chance to apologize to my brother.

So...

Are you letting me stay...?

Thank you.

-Saheiji. -Yes.

Man, you've grown old.

Yes...

This is Daisuke.

Please to meet you, sir.

So you are Sasuke's father?

Yes.

I've caused trouble to Sasuke since I was little.

I'm glad to hear that my son has been of your help.

This is Sasuke, sir.

Ah, come in.

So I came...

Well...

Glad to see you well.

You, too. Father.

Your mother and sister are doing well.

My wife Moyo is the head chef at the castle.

My daughter Haru is a maid for Lady Komatsu.

They are both working for your brother.

Did you come here from Kyoto, Father?

Yeah.

Look at you...

You've grown strong.

I've grown old...

I wanted Moyo to see your growth...

This is from your mother.

Otsune.

-Put Sir Kichinosuke's meal aside. -Yes.

-Mother. -What is it?

Her Ladyship wants to see you.

Did you want to see me, my lady?

Bring sake for aperitif.

Sure.

You could just send someone to order me, my lady.

You're right.

Moyo.

Yes?

I wonder if Saheiji arrived at Sir Saemon-no-suke's camp...

I am very sorry!

-I'm not blaming you. -I am very sorry!

Saheiji and Sasuke are on the Osaka side.

My husband and sons are on the Edo side.

Why do we have to fight...?

My lady...?

Why do sons have to kill each other? What's going on?

The Lord must be suffering, too...

He had to send his sons to fight Sir Saemon-no-suke.

SANADA NOBUYOSHI'S CAMP, KYOTO

Enough joking...

Everybody feels nervous during his first battle.

-You needn't feel ashamed of your fear and anxiety. -Yes.

Right, Sir Sanjuro?

That's right.

It is your first battle, but... well...

It's like confessing your love to a girl.

Like you, Uncle Sankuro, when you took our auntie as your wife?

Lady Okiku, he means.

You knew that, huh?

My parents told us what happened.

Well...

That kind of stuff...

You can tease a grownup like that. I don't have to worry about your first battle.

I'm leaving now.

One more thing.

Don't push yourselves too much.

Never die for nothing.

-Tastes really good. -Yes.

How's everything in Ueda?

Um...

I bet my brother is going to battle, too.

No.

Only his sons, Sir Nobuyoshi and Sir Nobumasa, are going to battle.

The Shogun's family ordered him not to go to battle.

That's...

Probably because I side with Osaka.

How's my brother doing?

Um...

A while ago...

I followed him when he went out for a ride on horseback.

I, too, have the Sanada blood running through my body.

After we set out for battle, I might turn my spearhead at the Tokugawa.

For the first time in my life,

I want to defy the Senior Shogun now.

However...

He told me after that.

"I can never do it."

Here.

When I think back...

Lord Izu was planning to send me to Osaka with Sir Nobuyoshi,

Because he knew I would go and help you once I arrived in Osaka.

Just came to my mind...

This is Oko, sir.

Come in.

Ah, Miss Oko.

Sasuke told me.

I knew you were coming.

It's all prepared.

Please leave it to us.

On November 15,

Ieyasu left Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

To enter Osaka via the Nara Way,

He was heading for Nara with only 50 soldiers.

Palanquin!

Guard the palanquin!

Stay alert!

Somebody, report to Sir Honda!

Ieyasu!

Sir Honda is here!

Sir Honda is coming!

Outta my way!

Get them!

Good, you are all right!

-I'm going to Nara right now. -Yes.

I didn't know Osaka soldiers came out this far.

No, some of them were ninja.

They are probably Sanada ninja.

-Sanada? -I'm going.

What?

Was the Senior Shogun attacked?

-Yes. -Is he alive!?

He is all right.

Whose agent attacked him?

They appeared to be Sanada ninja.

Contact my agents immediately. Tell them to come over.

Yes!

Sir Kakubei.

What is it?

I want you to enter Osaka Castle.

What?

Only you can approach Saemon-no-suke.

Approach him and do what?

Kill him.

We have many agents in Osaka Castle. So you can get help from them any time.

I'll be counting on you.

Oko.

Sasuke.

Thanks.

We almost got leyasu's head, but...

-I am sorry. -Sasuke.

It's all right.

Maybe we can't win this time.

Lord Hideyori's officers are all bent on just protecting the castle.

On the contrary,

The Tokugawa clan appears to have monolithic unity.

Killing only leyasu might not change it.

From now on...

We'll fight openly and squarely.

Yes.

Half of you stay in the castle.

Saizo, you take the other half outside the castle.

-Then? -Wait for my order.

Understood, sir.

This is Ina.

What's this?

Map of Osaka Castle.

According to a letter from Ukon,

Saemon-no-suke built a fort outside the castle...

Outside the outer structure of the castle.

Here, here.

The Eastern Army might begin an attack here.

So smart of him...

I wonder what the Eastern Army would think of this fort...

If they take it lightly, they will get burned.

Dear.

Weren't you thinking of entering Osaka Castle?

No.

Didn't you want to fight with Sir Saemon-no-suke?

What are you saying?

If my father was alive,

-He must have said exactly the same thing. -Don't say that.

"Don't do that."

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm not judging you who isn't doing that.

I'm just...

Going to follow you, Dear.

I love you the way you are now, Dear.

In the winter of 1614...

Winter campaign of the siege of Osaka Castle was about to begin.

Episode 36 THE END
