Tokugawa Ieyasu

Episode 30:
The Meeting of the Two Heroes

October 24, 1586

Ieyasu entered Kyoto with
20,000 soldiers.

Ieyasu saw that the town was
full of life,

and there was no sign of
suspicion from the passersby.

The people, the town, and even
the skies looked different

from the time he was last here
after Nobunaga's death.

Ieyasu and his party entered
Chaya Shirojiro's mansion.

Your change of clothes
is ready, lord.

The country has
settled down.

The sight of my soldiers didn't
instill fear in the people.

Yes.

I'll change and go to
my room for the night.

There's something I'd
like to tell you first.

I heard from one of the
Imperial Adviser's servants...

A letter arrived from Hideyoshi's
mother in Okazaki to his wife here...

I'm sure my wife and
Omandokoro are happy.

She said Ii Naomasa treats
them well, but

Honda Sakuzaemon has piled
firewood around the mansion...

He said if anything happens to
you, lord, he'll burn them all.

The women are trembling
with fear,

and want Sakuza to
be punished immediately.

The Imperial Adviser is
terribly angry.

It's expected of that
old geezer...

Ieyasu arrived at Hideyoshi's
brother's house that evening.

Welcome.

You'll meet the Adviser on
the 27th in Osaka.

Please have
a good rest.

Thank you.

I'll give you further
instructions. Excuse me.

The men here seem to be
disturbed about something...

Isn't it strange, lord?

Their words are kind, but their
behavior is cold...

Don't be too
sensitive.

Don't let your
guard down.

...it's dark!
Bring the light!

Look! You didn't even
bring out the brazier!

You're not treating
them well!

Wait!

This is a secret meeting.
We'll meet formally in Osaka,

but tonight we're meeting as
two brothers.

Go!

Lord Tokugawa! Everyone's so
happy, they're nervous!

I'm so glad you came.

Hurry, what's taking
so long?

You may excuse yourself.

You, too!

You're his henchman?
Then you may stay.

We're finally alone,
Lord Ieyasu.

Tonight, we're brothers,
just two men...

I'm so glad you came.

Silly rumors have been spreading,
causing so much trouble.

They don't know how we feel,

yet when I sent my mother to
you, they say she's a hostage.

When you came with a procession,
they say you'll cause war!

I'll return to Osaka
tomorrow morning.

I'll have you stay at Hidenaga's
mansion in Osaka.

He has some Noh plays ready
for you to see.

Then, I'll have you
return to Kyoto.

You don't need to pour the
sake, I'll do it.

Please have one,
Adviser.

Sake is good, it breaks
down the barriers.

What about women?

I love them.

Do you like them strong
or frail?

In between.

I like them frail, but it
doesn't work that way.

Mine are all shrews who try
to dominate me.

That's troublesome.

The more peaceful the country
becomes, the prouder they get.

Omandokoro and Asahi are both
domineering, too.

But please close your eyes
and take care of them.

Have a drink.

You probably have complaints
against me. Just tell me.

How can we have
any complaints...

I've postponed my battle
in Kyushu because

I was afraid of you.

You're well aware of it.

Afraid, afraid.

Adviser.

I have one wish.

Tell me what it is.

I would like your
coat of arms.

- This one?
- Yes.

I can't do that...

I'm the Adviser,
but also a warrior...

We've come here today and
opened our hearts to you

because we will never let you
fight another war.

What did you say?

We won't bother you
with future wars.

I, Ieyasu will handle
them for you.

Good!

Good!

I thought I was
good with words, but

I could never have thought
of those words!

Tokugawa Ieyasu is sharp.

So are you, you know how
to praise people.

What you said about my
coat of arms...

Can you ask me the same thing
in Osaka?

In front of the other
lords, I gather.

I'm not asking because I want
you to pay me respects.

But for the sake of the country,
I must show my power.

I came for the sake
of the country.

Will you do it?

I'm so happy!

I have many sharp retainers,

but none of with whom I can
commiserate about the country.

Don't praise me
too much.

Many try to steal the
country,

but not many are truly
concerned about it.

I've seen that
concern in you.

Straighten up, lord.

OSAKA CASTLE

October 27th.

Ieyasu formally met with
Hideyoshi at Osaka Castle.

In front of the lords,

Ieyasu asked for Hideyoshi's
coat of arms...

- This one?
- Yes.

It's a good souvenir
of our meeting today.

No...this identifies me
in the battlefield...

I want it even more.

Not this one...

I have come to see you today

because I intend to never let
you wear your coat of arms again.

What?

My coat of arms...?

Did you all hear that?

He will never let me wear
this again, he said.

I have a fine brother-in-law.

I must take it off.

I deeply appreciate it.

I am happy.

I am happy.

This was an act that they
had rehearsed,

but their seriousness touched
the hearts of the lords...

Ishikawa Kazumasa who chose to
betray the clan,

was not granted permission
to attend.

...it's all right.

I'm sure our lord understands
how you feel.

Can't you at least see him?

Quiet!

I was prepared for this
when I absconded.

Wherever I am, I'll be watching
our lord �til I die.

None of the Mikawa men
visited Kazumasa.

After carrying out his
activeties as scheduled,

Ieyasu met with Hideyoshi on
the eve of his departure,

and was told to stay out
of the Kyushu wars.

...why not?

Kyushu isn't the only area
that concerns me.

I'd like you to keep the Hojo's
in check in my absence.

I'm sure your men will
be relieved.

Adviser.

In order to control
the country,

both of our clans must
have peace.

I'm filled with awe.

I'd like you to stay
longer, but

Omandokoro is away, so
I won't keep you.

Please return and send the
women back to me.

Yes, lord.

Don't let Honda Sakuza
escort them.

If he becomes angry with me,
I'll have to punish him.

Let Ii Naomasa be their escort,
and don't let me see Sakuza.

...he didn't order you to
fight in Kyushu,

nor did he scold you
about Sakuza...

That's a bit difficult.

After Kyushu, he'll attack
the Hojo's.

I'll return to Sumpu to
prepare for that.

That's good, the advisor will
become extremely powerful

after conquering Kyushu...
a new era will come.

I'm the Adviser's
brother-in-law.

I'm not his retainer, but I'm
demoted to head clerk status.

I'll watch over the country
as his chief overseer.

People are born with certain
personalities.

Lord Tokugawa.

People are born with certain
personalities.

Sometimes, they push themselves
and become out of control.

It's a mistake to set
out to Korea.

It may be close, but nothing
will come of fighting that war.

If he decides to fight
in Korea,

he'll waste vast amounts of
money on supplies.

For with China's backing, the
war will last for 2 - 3 years.

I'd like you to keep
this in mind.

With this big problem,
Ieyasu left for Okazaki.

At the same time Omandokoro's
procession left for Kyoto.

Ieyasu moved to Sumpu and began
building a new castle there

where many memories lay.

I'm deeply grateful,
Sakuza.

This is where you were called
the "homeless Mikawa orphan."

Everything brought
memories to Ieyasu,

many of which were sad.

Elder Sessai,

his grandmother, Keiyoin,

Tsuru and Kame...

A castle in which he lived
as a hostage, was now his own.

That December, Hideyoshi became
the Premiere,

and took the surname,
"Toyotomi".

There was something he had to do
before conquering Kyushu.

Is Chacha in
a good mood?

Leave us alone.

Princess Chacha.

Out of the 3 daughters that
Oichi left, two had married.

However, only 18-year-old Chacha
was left here.

My Adviser! I was enchanted
by the beauty of the flowers.

I brought a marriage proposal

to the girl who is far more
beautiful than any flower.

It's Ieyasu's son,
Chomatsumaru.

Chomatsumaru?

He's Asahi's adopted son and
the heir to the Tokugawa clan.

This is a good match.

I don't know whether
it's good or bad.

It's no time to be finicky.

Asahi writes that he's
an intelligent boy.

A woman's happiness depends
on the man's intelligence.

He's only 10, but in a year
he'll be an adult.

It's not enough that you sent
Omandokoro to the Tokugawa's

and you're about
to send me...

What?

Are you that afraid of
this Ieyasu?

What a fearful look!

Omandokoro was not a hostage.

Ieyasu submitted to me and
visited me.

Let me rephrase it, then.

Two people that you can't
control are Ieyasu and me.

If you send me there, two of us
may combine forces.

All right.

I won't send you
to the Tokugawa clan.

But, let me decide what your
status will be from now on.

You had the gall to tell
the Imperial Adviser that

you and Ieyasu can't be
controlled...

I won't forget that!

Forgive me!

I won't! You must have been
prepared to face the consequences!

Just tell me what
you think.

I was too harsh with you.

Forgive me.

Don't cry. You're a pitiful
girl with no place to go.

To avoid losing her protector
who was at the height of his power,

Chacha instinctively caused
a commotion.

Hideyoshi knew then that Chacha
was a full-grown woman.

I won't send you away.

I'll keep you here.

March, 1587.

The reconstruction of Sumpu
Castle was complete.

Father?
It's me, Chomatsumaru.

Matsu, come in.

Yes.

Ogimaru, who was adopted by
Hideyoshi, was rough,

but Chomatsumaru was well-mannered,
much like his mother, Oai.

What is it?

I have two mothers. I'd like
to know what is more important.

What is bothering you?

This castle is finished.

And?

My natural mother has moved in,

but there's no room for my
adopted mother to live here.

I don't understand.

Don't worry about it.

Your adopted mother is of higher
status for she is my real wife.

We are looking for lumber for
her new mansion.

Do you understand?

Oai may be worried, too.
Tell her what I said.

Excuse me.

Stay here, Sakuza.

Come closer.

You gave him ideas,
didn't you?

You pity your lady, so you said
you'll send her to Kyoto.

If she's going back, she
doesn't need a mansion.

But if you send her to Kyoto
with no room for her here,

it's as if you shoved her
out of your sight!

I didn't realize that...

The recent weather has been
hard on the sick.

Sick? Is someone ill?

That's funny.
You didn't know?

My wife?

Lady Oai!

Not only did she
provide you with an heir,

but she handled the domestic
affairs and is important to us!

You didn't know she was ill

and was crazy about the
new concubines!

Enough, Sakuza!

He hadn't visited her
for 4 - 5 months.

With her frail body, she was
always busy with domestic matters.

Ieyasu thought that he'll wear
her out if he visited her...

Don't wake her up.

Please excuse my unsightly
appearance. Bring the incense!

Oai.

You're in pain... rest.

But...

If you stay up,
I'll have to leave.

I'd like to stay, so
please lie down.

I don't deserve this.

I didn't realize
it was so serious.

Forgive me.

We have fine doctors and cures.
Don't let the disease get you.

My lord, I have
a favor to ask.

Tell me what it is.

I shall break the caution
that I have always exercised.

Flowers do not talk no matter
how much pain they're in

or how much they want
something.

Come spring, they bloom
with all their might.

Is that how you've
lived your life?

Yes, but I don't have
much longer to live.

This is my last wish.

Oai!

I'm sure you're aware of this,
but you've come this far.

Please don't fight the Adviser.

Should the two clans
have to fight,

everything you've said up to
this point would become lies.

The Buddha will be
angered by you.

If you would be patient,

the people will be spared from
the sufferings of war.

If you're attacked from the
west, go east and avoid them.

Your mother, Odai and I
talked about this.

Don't worry.

That's why
I moved here.

Forgive me for saying it...
I'm so embarrassed.

I'm glad you said it.

Those who betray the gods will
not prosper. I'll remember that.

I'm happy.

Since he and Lady Tsukiyama
separated,

Oai had been like a wife
to Ieyasu.

It was clear that she didn't
have much longer to live.

Meanwhile, Premiere Toyotomi
Hideyoshi set out to Kyushu

with an army of 120,000.

With menacing scarlet armors
and hoe-shaped helmets,

the procession set out to show
their glory to the country.

...flower viewing?

I admired the sight of the
Adviser in glittering regalia.

Not war, but flower-viewing.

If victory is clear, why did
they let him fight it?

We tried to delay his departure
by talking to Shimazu.

But we failed because of
Shimazu's stubborn pride.

He must have a plan for after
he conquers the entire country.

It seems he wants to
continue winning.

That's my biggest
headache.

He's interested in Korea
for some reason.

They have such wonders
as mobocracy.

We must provide him with new
ideas as weapons.

He says he wants to create
a second Sakai there.

But, he'll have to contend
with the Hojo clan next.

We've taken care of that.

We won't sell guns
to the Hojo clan.

It's time to end the wars.

I'll go to Odawara.

From now?

I'll go where the wind blows and
where my legs take me.

I'll see you.

Just as Zuifu left Sakai,

Ieyasu lost his beloved Oai.

Plant a pine tree in
this garden.

Flowers that are almost invisible
like mist, will bloom.

...the Adviser says victory is
apparent in Kyushu?

Victory is as clear as day.

I've come here to receive
instructions

in the event that our lord goes
to congratulate the Adviser.

All right. But how will the
Adviser treat our lord?

Knowing his personality, he
may pass out titles.

I see.

Ogimaru is the Major General,

our lord may become the
Chief Councilor.

It won't hurt him any!

Is that title too much?

I feel we shouldn't be
indebted to him!

It might not hurt him any,
but it wouldn't hurt us, either.

You intend to go?

Yes.

Don't let titles bother you.

If he subjugates Kyushu, I
shall go to congratulate him.

That's just what he's after.

What if he wants you to
change territories?

I believe he is skilled in
indebting people to him.

Then, they are forced to
listen to his requests.

I know everyone is
worried about me.

But, my thoughts have
changed since Oai passed away.

I'll endure whatever
I can endure.

For the sake of the people, we
can't have wars again.

For that, I'll pay my respects
many times.

My lord.

I'd like to know how your
thoughts have changed.

Oai has taught me the
virtue of patience.

She has led a deeper
life than I have.

You intend to let emotions
get to the Adviser

in just the same way
Oai served you?

You're being rude!

I'm not judging the living,

but I'm talking about Oai
who has gone to the Pure Land.

- Then don't lie!
- What?

You've always had your way
in life.

How can you serve the Adviser
the way Oai served you!

If you did, Oai wouldn't have
suffered so!

Shut up!

No! You don't understand
Oai at all!

She innocently served you,
you said?

Oai fought you with all her
might and was exhausted!

What ulterior motive did
she have, then?

Lady Tsukiyama fought you,
Oai fought you.

They both wanted to
control you.

One opposed you and angered
you. She's still on your mind.

That's a small victory.

But Oai endured your selfishness
to win you over.

You've misunderstood to think
she served you innocently.

She's been defeated.

Lady Tsukiyama fought,
Oai fought.

The former won, but the
latter lost.

Why did one lose,
and one win?

You were weak when Lady
Tsukiyama was alive.

But you were stronger when
Oai was here, so you won.

You feel better toward her
because you won.

Don't forget this logic
in the man's world.

Don't choose to be
in the weak position.

Be in the stronger position!

Oai.

Sakuza said to learn a lesson
from your life,

as you fought me 'til death.

Things didn't turn out the
way you wanted,

yet you fought for them
to the end.

I learned a lesson
from your life.

For the sake of the country,
I'll be patient.

Well...

Watch how I live from
wherever you are.

Oai, who received a title
posthumously

as the mother of the second
shogun,

was one woman who supported Ieyasu
during the trials of his life.
