A DaieiCompany, Ltd. Production

Tokugawa leyasu, who by winning the Battle of Sekigahara had gained control of the entire nation, nevertheless was always searching for a pretext to destroy the ToyotomiClan.
After 15 years, by deliberately misinterpreting an inscription on the bell at Hoko'jiTemple, he at last has the excuse he needed to launch a military campaign against them.

The late Hideyoshi's son, Hideyori, and his mother, Lady Yodo, took refuge in the
formidable fortress of Osaka Castle, where they were beseiged by leyasu's army.

It is the 11th month of the 19th year of the
Keicho period . Osaka: The winter campaign.

Hideyorisought assistance from Daimyo who had been indebted to the ToyotomiClan, but given that the clan's prospects were bleak, none lifted a fingerto help him,
Only two generals, Sanada Yukimura and Goto Mototsugu who lusted for vengeance, and a horde of mercenary ronin, perhaps 701o 801housand in all, rose to his defense.

In contrast, leyasu mobilized an army of 200,000
troops, who mounted a textbook siege at Mount Chausu.

We are fully prepared, let us
not waste this opportunity.

I believe that we should launch an all-out attack
tomorrow and crush them with a single blow.

Crush them with a single blow?

Crush them with a single blow?
Indeed. They have only 80,000 men.

They're just a horde of riffraff. They
can't have any real will to fight.

They might be a horde of riffraff, but the
castle is an impenetrable fortress.

There are only two
ways to take it.

Either we surround it, cut off their supplies,
and patiently starve them to death...

...or we fill up the moats, destroy the bastions,
and launch a direct assault.

Then let us cut off
their supplies.

Where's Yotoji?

Where's Yotoji?
I am here.

Where's Lady Yodo's cloister?
I am here.

Where's Lady Yodo's cloister?
On the west side of the inner citadel.

How many Iga ninja have penetrated the castle?
On the west side of the inner citadel.

How many Iga ninja have penetrated the castle?
There are three of them.

Not enough. Get three more skiIled men inside.
There are three of them.

Have them relay to us every detaiI
of the goings- on in the castle...

...especially the movements
of Sanada Yukimura.

Yes sir.

So it's the west side.

Order Yamanouchiand Asano to incessantly
bombard that side of the castle.

Yes sir.

Wait.

Aim as close as possible. We must gradually
increase Lady Yodo's fear. Now go.

Yes sir.

By the way, we need to shake
up the east side as well.

I believe it is Yukimura's son who's
guarding the Shigino fortress.

Mother!

Mother!
Leyasu is after me. He's trying to kill me!

Please try and calm yourself.

Please try and calm yourself.
That obnoxious bastard leyasu.

He kiIled his own wife and had his own son
commit harakirito further his designs...

...and now he's going to forsake
his granddaughter!

Your grandfather is a demon masquerading
as a human being!

Hey Yukimura.

Did you see it?

Did you see it?
Yes, sir. The fortress is under concentrated fire.

What? The Shigino fortress?

What? The Shigino fortress?
Yes sir.

Dispatch! Gate One
has just fallen.

Don't retreat! Not a single step!

Don't retreat! Not a single step!
Yes sir.

Oh! Saizo.

Please retreat, immediately.

Retreat?
Please retreat, immediately.

His Lordship commanded that we must
not lose a single soldier untiI the decisive battle.

I will draw the enemy's attention. Meanwhile,
you must withdraw using the rear gate.

Saizo! There are chambermaids
in the storage room.

Understood.

Women!

"Kirigakure:" Lit., "Hiding in the Mist"
Sir Kirigakure!

Lady Akane!

Sir Kirigakure!

Truce negotiations began after a few days; peace returned to Osaka. It
is now the spring of the next year, the first year of the Gen'na period .

Mount Koya, Kishu Province

Signpost: "To Kondo Hall"

Thanks for your hard work. What
brought you back so quickly?

They just began to fill up the
moats of Osaka Castle.

The moat- fiIling was a condition
of the truce. It can't be helped.

The agreement was that only the
outer moats would be fiIled in.

Magistrate Matsudaira is in
charge of the operation...

...and he has hired over 5,000 men, who are
fiIling in all the moats simultaneously.

What? Even the
inner moats?

Yes. Those at the castle
protested most strongly.

However, the magistrate replied that the Great
Lord had ordered all the moats fiIled in.

Not only are they fiIling
up the inner moats...

...they are also dismantling every
bastion as fast as they can.

A castle without moats and bastions
is like a man with no arms and legs.

Father, how can we...

Say no more, Daisuke.

We knew this was going to happen eventually,
ever since the peace treaty.

It was leyasu who
started the battle.

It was leyasu who
offered a truce.

In other words, the goal of the
battle was the peace treaty.

The goal of the battle was
the peace treaty?

The peace treaty is the method by which he
intends to exterminate the ToyotomiClan.

Why then did you knowingly
fall into leyasu's trap?

It is beyond human power to
stop the current of time.

The ToyotomiClan still had hope
before the winter campaign.

Several large fiefs remained uncommitted,
as they awaited victory or defeat.

This is why I urged we adopt
an aggressive strategy...

...assault the capital, and
assassinate Lord leyasu.

However, Lord Hideyoriwas influenced by
Lady Yodo, Ono, and others around him...

...and he opted to remain
cloistered in the castle.

It was then that the fate of the
ToyotomiClan was sealed...

...and simultaneously, my
fate was clearly sealed.

Are you going to go down
with the ToyotomiClan?

Such is the fate of a warrior
who lives in an age of war.

How can you say that? We can't just
passively surrender to leyasu.

Banner: "Sanada-himo." Woven
cords used to tie up boxes.

Next, Gei'shu province.

Next, Gei'shu province.
Yes.

Lord Fukushima Masanorihasn't returned
to his home province at all.

According to rumors circulating in towns around
his castle, right after the winter truce...

...he asked the Shogun to
be allowed to stay in Edo.

Good job.

Next!

Next!
That's enough.

Even a man with the deepest connections
to the ToyotomiClan...

...such as Lord Fukushima,
is behaving in this manner.

We needn't hear more about the
actions of the other fiefs.

The Daimyo have all yielded
to Tokugawa.

It's obvious that they're all
out to flatter the Shogun.

Our problem is
the Shogun.

In any case, who was it
that infiItrated Sunpu?

That was me.

So it was you, Hikohachi. What have
you to report about Sunpu?

All is calm.

Calm?

Calm?
Yes.

After they returned from Osaka, there
was pandemonium at the castle...

...with much post- war celebration. But
eventually things calmed down.

Are they recruiting more troops? Purchasing
weapons and ammunition?

Not at all.

It appears that they're not preparing
for another battle.

Father, don't believe it.

Don't worry. I'm
sending a courier to Lord Shimazu.

To Lord Shimazu?

We agreed to exchange
information about the Shogun's activities.

I appreciate your efforts, leave for
Satsuma, early in the morning.

Yes, Sir.

Everyone, I appreciate
your attendance.

We have a little sake ready, so
relax and enjoy yourselves.

I knew it.

When is leyasu planning
to attack?

The real question is, what will
be his excuse for war?

We have to deduce it. That's the only
way to keep the ToyotomiClan alive.

How much longer is it going to take
to bury the moats of Osaka Castle?

I would think roughly half
a month to 20 days.

Half a month to 20 days...
this is a decisive period.

Will you accept another mission?

To Sunpu, I presume?

I want you to report on Lord leyasu's actions,
not assassinate him. Understood?

I'll let him live,
for now.

Sunpu

And then? What about
that Hikohachifellow?

They tossed him into
the Kinokawa River.

I knew that's how
he'd end up.

I only sent him because
you insisted.

But Yukimura's far too wily to
be duped by a double- agent.

And now they know that we
fed them false information.

Well, Toji, isn't
that so?

My apologies.

Have you anything to report
about Kirigakure?

Unfortunately, no.

Unfortunately? You fool!

Kirigakure will certainly infiItrate Sunpu.
Find him, no matter what!

One-two- three... nine-ten and one-two- three-
four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten and...

Don't make
a sound.

Are you a burglar?
Or a murderer?

Keep quiet!

Sir Kirigakure!

Lady Akane!

Lady Akane!
Sir Kirigakure!

Come here, quickly. Quickly.

Is that your?

Don't ask boorish questions,
pretend you saw nothing.

It's broad daylight.

Day or night, any time is a good
time to sleep with your lover.

Suit yourself!

Lady Akane. Why on
earth have you?

Become a prostitute,
you mean?

What's the point
of asking now?

No one knows how
to turn back time.

Or is there a secret Iga- Ninja
technique that can do it?

Please leave.

Please leave.
Lady Akane.

Akane died...

One month ago, at the
port of Shigino.

For the sake of completing
his mission...

...it is said that a ninja will voluntarily
plunge to sure death.

You've failed to capture Kirigakure,
and yet, here you are.

Who is it?

Who is it?
Umaichi.

Wait.
Umaichi.

Leave.

I have not forgiven you. I'm merely
giving you another chance.

Go.

So how are things in Osaka?

Sir, it's heating
up. I'm sure something serious will happen.

Sir, it's heating
up. I'm sure something serious will happen.

I'm not interested in your analysis, just
report what you've seen and heard.

Yes sir. First of all, they're secretly
re- digging the moats.

Huh? They're trying to
restore the moats?

Yes sir. Next, they've
begun hiring ronin.

So they're hiring ronin?

So they're hiring ronin?

Indeed. Not openly, but they're hiring ronin
from all over the nation, by word of mouth.

Mercenary ronin. If it means a full stomach,
a thousand miles is but a mile to them.

The dismissal of their ronin was a condition
of the truce, and yet, they're flagrantly...

Next.

Yes sir. They're encouraging
merchants to buy up rice.

Merchants are taking advantage of the prices,
and have gone on a buying rampage...

...going even as far as Shikoku and
Kyushu. And furthermore...

They're buying guns and ammunition?

Yes,
I'm told they're paying any price for them.

Hmm, "any price?"

"The late Taiko:" Hideyoshi, Hideyori's father. The treasury of the
Osaka Castle is packed with gold that was collected by the late Taiko.

They're breaking every article of the truce,
and openly purchasing weapons.

We must immediately make
an official protest.

Leave it be.

Leave it be.
Leave it be? Meaning?

Honda. You've been by my side for 30 years,
and you still don't know what I'm thinking.

The essential requirement before
starting any war is a just cause.

Crushing the subservient
and helpless is not war.

It is for this reason that we must
gather all available information.

Keep close watch on Yukimura's
every move.

The enemy is only one man...
Sanada Yukimura.

I understand.

Honda...

what is happening with the newfangled
guns we ordered from Holland?

They're scheduled to reach the port
of Shimizu early tomorrow morning.

Indeed, it's only the merchants
who get fat. Dismissed.

Yes sir.

There was a thick mist... I was
thrown to the ground...

That's about all
I remember.

Who knows how much
later it was...

...but when I regained consciousness,
the mist was already cleared.

I was on the ground, naked, at the edge
of the burned- down fortress.

Seven or eight samuraiwere grinning
and leering down at me.

The Akane that you once knew vanished
from this world, along with that mist.

That mist... what happened
to you was my fault.

Do you really
believe that?

I do.

I want you to have
this money.

Money?

I know it's too little, too late, but at least
you can buy yourself out with it.

Buy myself out? I'm here because
I want to be here.

That's a lie. You're tormenting
yourself on purpose...

...to try and forget the
pain in your heart.

Come on... take it.

I don't want money.

Instead, come and visit
me, from time to time.

Will you visit me?

Yeah.

As long as you visit me, I don't
care what you do in Sunpu.

It says that guns and cannons
are being moved around...

...but no troops appear to
have been deployed.

"Osaka faction:" The forces supporting ToyotomiHideyori.
That's because there's no need. Unlike the Osaka faction...

...Lord leyasu can quickly mobilize
200 to 300 thousand troops.

The question is, when
will they declare war?

Lord leyasu is waiting
for an excuse.

It's Anayama Kosuke.
I'm back from Osaka.

Good job. Draw near.

This is a reply from
Lord Hideyori.

What does
he say?

He says that
it's absurd.

Absurd?

He says that my thought, namely, that the
greatest defense is being defenseless...

...is cowardly drivel.

Osaka Castle has been stripped bare,
it's not the fortress that it once was.

I give it one chance in
ten of holding out.

That is why the most prudent path is
to do as Lord leyasu commands.

Lord leyasu is 74 now, we won't have
to suffer his presence much longer.

But Lady Yodo doesn't
understand that.

She thinks only of the prestige
of the ToyotomiClan.

She is blindly sabotaging
Lord Hideyori's future.

Where is Kirigakure?

So his name is Kirigakure?

Don't play dumb. You were all
over him, in broad daylight.

I don't have to know a man's
name to fall in love with him.

Shut up!

So you fell in love with someone without
knowing where he's from, or his name?

That's exactly right.

Fine. We'll see if you
really don't know.

Now watch closely.

Did you see that?

My life means nothing
to me.

This isn't about your life. Women value
something more than life itself.

Shichiro, do you
know what it is?

Idiot! It's the face.

Make her face utterly hideous.

I... I... I don't know.
I really don't know!

What a stubborn woman. Hey, she
thinks this is just an idle threat.

What's the matter?
Do it.

Don't! Please stop!

It's Kirigakure!

Shichiro! What happened?!

Shichiro, what happened?!

Shichiro!

What? Yukimara
has vanished?

Yes sir.

Three days after he returned from Osaka
to Mt. Kudo of Kishu Province...

...he and over 200 retainers
vanished in a single night.

The living room of the Sanada Mansion
had been immaculately cleaned...

...and there was a display of gifts, tagged with
the names of those who supported his cause.

That's enough!

That's enough!
Yes sir.

You imbecile!
Yes sir.

Immediately block the route between
Sakaiand Koriyama!

Yes sir!

No matter what, we can't let Yukimura
get into Osaka. Prevent it at all costs!

It does not matter how.

Assassinate leyasu as soon as possible.
That's the order from Lord Yukimura.

So he's decided that leyasu must die
if the ToyotomiClan is to live, eh?

What do we do?

We're going
to do it.

We originally joined Lord Yukimura
to assassinate leyasu anyway.

To us, there is neither Toyotomi
nor Tokugawa.

My only wish as a ninja is to live in a world
that we can use our skills to the utmost.

Of course.

But there's also the possibility that
assassinating Tokugawa...

...will simply cause his clan to
be replaced by the Toyotomi.

No, Hideyoridoesn't have the
ability to rule the nation.

It's inevitable that everything will be thrown
into civiI war and turmoiI once again.

Defeating leyasu and rendering the Tokugawa
Clan politically impotent will bring this about.

It's the only way to create an era in which each
and every ninja can shake the world.

I get it. Let's do it.

But how?

Because of the design of the castle
and how it is guarded...

...our usual methods won't even get us
inside, let alone assassinate him.

Let me go first.

It's called " quiet death."

It's a virulent poison, enough
to kill 50 men.

Shh!

Sorry I'm late.

Ah, thanks.

Please.

Let's hope this is a
toast to success.

We will succeed.

But should I faiI, I want you to
be the next to try, Umino.

And even if you faiI, we still have Anayama,
Kakei... and Kirigakure.

Lady Akane. We've been assigned
an important duty.

It's impossible for us
to see you home.

Please, don't worry
about me.

But this is a problem.

You could travel to Mt. Kudo by yourself, but the
mountains of Ikoma will be too treacherous.

Umm... Sir Kirigakure. If there's anything
I could do, please tell me. Please.

I appreciate the thought, but
I must refuse your offer.

You must get yourself out of
Sunpu as soon as possible.

It's just rats.

That feels
so good.

Ah, Yotoji, that's enough.

Yes sir. But just in case...

Alright, alright.

Yotoji!

Yotoji!

When we die, there isn't even a corpse.
That is the way of the ninja.

But he's a lucky one, he gets
a grave with flowers on it.

Intruders!

W... w... wait. I'm
not leyasu.

What?

"Kagemusha:" Lit., "shadow warrior." In this case, it means he is a
body-double. I... I... I'm just a kagemusha. P... Please spare me my life.

Please! Have compassion!
Have mercy!

Where is leyasu?!

In the bedroom! He's hiding
in the bedroom.

Come here.

Leyasu!

Die!

You'd be wise
to give up.

Don't kill him. Capture
him alive.

Hey, Kirigakure.

Are you going to die for
the sake of Yukimura?

Ninja don't die for the
sake of others.

What?

Ninja are always on their
own, at all times.

Liar!

Yukimura obviously ordered you
to assassinate the Lord Shogun.

You've trampled Iga into the dirt,
all for the sake of your ambition.

You, who have betrayed the ninja
code, cannot understand me.

You pathetic fool.

That spittle will surely
land back on you.

Listen carefully.

Nobunaga aggressively
tried to crush the ninja.

Hideyoshirode the coattaiIs of Nobunaga's
war, and planned to exterminate us all.

But as you can see, the
ninja are still here.

So leyasu decided to use them as tools for
seizing the nation, you are one such tool.

Tools will eventually become
unnecessary.

Get it, Yotoji?

Three men, with different methods, but they
are all enemies of the ninja, just the same.

Shut up!

Listen carefully...

There are only two ways out of this stone prison:
By telling us where Yukimura is, or by dying.

Lady Akane! What are
you doing here?

You've drugged her!

Surprised? I've got Akane,
she's right here with me.

She answers all my questions, all the while
laughing, laughing, and laughing.

So where is Kakei? Where is
Anayama Kosuke hiding?

Lady Akane! You
mustn't tell him!

Say it. You know where
they are. You know.

I know.

That's right. Where's
Kakeihiding?

Lady Akane! Say nothing!

Say it!
Say it!

Lady Akane!
Lady Akane!

Get in!

Get in!

Ka... kei... is... coming...

...to... help... just... wait.

Enter.

I hate to disturb you at this time, but we
have information regarding Yukimura.

Get to the point.

Yes sir. As a result of
an intensive search...

...we ascertained that he was hiding
in a hut at Mount Ikoma.

We dispatched men there, but
they were quickly noticed.

When they arrived, the hut
had just been abandoned.

Another failure, I see.

I am so sorry. We will, of course, continue
to keep close watch in Ikoma...

...and also throughout Yamato
and Kishu Provinces.

I've sternly told Asano of Kishu to stop at
nothing to determine his whereabouts...

...in order to keep
him out of Osaka.

Asano isn't the only one who needs
to be ordered to be on the alert.

Any news about that ninja called Kakei, the
one we failed to capture the other day?

We've undertaken a meticulous search,
but have no leads as yet.

We assume that he
has left the area.

No, he's still around. Don't
you know the ninja code?

If a ninja is captured and is unable to escape,
he must immediately choose death.

The fact that Kirigakure and Anayama
haven't committed suicide...

...is proof positive that they
have a means of escape.

It is impossible for them to escape
the stone prison by themselves.

And so, Kakei. What
else could it be?

How's life in a
stone prison?

Climb the rope. We got something
for you to see up here.

What's the matter? Are you
perhaps waiting for Kakei?

Look.

Kakei!

Lord Yoshinao's wedding will take place
on the 12th day of the fourth month.

We just got the news via
courier from Nagoya.

ChiIdren are strange things, I'd never thought
Yoshinao would be so useful.

The 12th of the fourth is
not many days away.

Are the presents ready?

We have already
sent them out.

I'm talking about the items we purchased
from Holland and England.

They're packaged and
ready to send.

Send them out tomorrow.

Send them out tomorrow.
Yes sir.

Yes sir.

Father, when will you be leaving?
Yes sir.

Today or tomorrow. Tell the Daimyo
to the east of Nagoya to...

...schedule their travel so as to arrive
on the 10th of the fourth month.

Yes.

Now, regarding Yukimura, we really need
to determine his whereabouts...

what's Kirigakure's condition?

Today's his fifth day without food,
I hear he's getting quite weak.

Death by starvation... not the
usual way a ninja dies.

Yotoji, are you there?

I am here, sir.

Here's a gracious gift from the Lord
Shogun, receive it with gratitude.

On the 12th day of the
fourth month...

...Lord Tokugawa Yoshinao is
getting married in Nagoya.

As he was departing for Nagoya, His Lordship
left this behind for you to eat.

Hey! What happened? Hey!

He's dead.

What should
we do?

Catch up with the convoy and get
instructions from his Lordship.

Yes, Sir.

These three died
because of you.

Maybe you should light a stick of
incense for them or something.

Lady Akane... don't worry,
I'm not a ghost.

"Shin-ki:" Lit., "heart-energy."
Using the secret art of "shin-ki"...

...I can stop breathing and remain
in a death-like state for half a day.

Lady Akane... quickly return to your homeland,
remake your life, and find happiness.

Sir Kirigakure, where
are you going?

Why do you ask
about me?

Please take me
with you.

I will not. All that awaits me
is a bloody battlefield.

Wait... Sir Kirigakure, you told
me to find happiness.

I can only be happy
if I am close to you.

Wait!

I am sorry.

If you're truly sorry, then please
stop following me.

I'm just taking the same
path you are taking.

Hey...

Go.

Go.
Yes.

You see? The plan to bury him instead
of beheading him has paid off.

Yes sir.

He's headed for Yukimura. Listen carefully,
do not lose track of him, no matter what.

Relay these orders to Yotoji.

Relay these orders to Yotoji.
Yes, sir.

Go.
Yes, sir.

Nagoya... Yatomi...

Kuwana... Tomita... Yokkaichi...

Oi... Kameyama...

Seki... Suzuka...

Ibukisan... Nabari...

Sir Kirigakure... you detest me because
I became a prostitute, don't you?

No, I don't.

I must not fall in
love with you.

Why?

Why must you not fall
in love with me?

We ninja are born in darkness,
and die in darkness.

We have a strict code: " No matter
what the circumstances...

"... we must never become infatuated
or devoted to another."

I will still follow you,
Sir Kirigakure.

I don't care what
you think of me.

I'm never going to leave you,
no matter what happens.

I'm glad. I was afraid you
had left me behind.

Oh... such pretty flowers!

The water's cold,
want a drink?

Thanks.

That's good.

After you awaken, you
must take a new path.

On the 12th day of the fourth month, using the
wedding of Tokugawa Yoshinao as pretext...

...he'll concentrate all his troops in Nagoya
and launch an attack, there's no doubt.

Good job.

I estimate his forces number
about 300,000...

My Lordship!

Retreat.

Lord...

Saizo, please give my double
a respectful burial.

This was a sad necessity...

So there is no doubt that you've
assassinated Yukimura?

I confirmed it with
my own eyes.

With the outer moats gone, the bastions
gone, and now Yukimura gone as well...

...the ToyotomiClan
is as good as dead.

The rest of our task
will be effortless.

You said that one needs a just
cause in order to start a war.

Indeed. They've revived the moats,
and hired multitudes of ronin.

These breaches of the terms of the treaty
are a clear challenge to the Tokugawa.

Don't you agree?

First year of the Gen-na period , Fourth month,
29th day. Osaka: The summer campaign begins

The Toyotomi, unable to reverse their fortunes,
can only await the inevitable fall of the castle.

Those are Sanada's banners!
Quickly investigate!

Yes sir.

Did you call for me?

Saizo... you must immediately
escape from the castle.

Escape? Why?

Thanks to your extraordinary efforts,
I can now die a glorious death.

I, Yukimura, give you
my gratitude.

You are a ninja, hired
to spy on leyasu.

You have no reason to become
a martyr for the Toyotomi.

So swiftly escape by the underground
route, as fast as you can.

Your consideration for
me is unnecessary.

What?

I have been taught that a ninja must
never possess a human heart...

...that we must
be as beasts.

However, my humanity
finally won out.

My Lord. I, a human being,
want to share your destiny.

Saizo!

" I confirmed it with
my own eyes," eh?

What have you to say for yourself?
Who is that opposing us, then?

What kind of ninja is it that is fooled
by a mere kagemusha?!

I... I am sorry.

If you're truly sorry, then bring
me the head of the real one.

Bring Yukimura's
head here to me.

Either do that,
or begone!

My Lord Shogun. At the
battle of Sekigahara...

...you took my hand and said
that I was your savior.

Please remember your
words, and...

Shut up! You dare to claim that a lowly
ninja saved me, the almighty Shogun?

Get this lunatic out
of my sight!

Yes sir.

Great Shogun, please forgive me!
Great Shogun, please forgive me!

Lord Todo has defeated Kimura Nagato's
army at waka'e'zutsumi.

He has taken Nagato's head.

Announcement: Lord Goto
has died in battle.

Goto too?

Goto too?
Yes sir.

M... Mother!

Mother. This is the end
of the ToyotomiClan.

Please prepare yourself.

No. You must not
lose hope.

As long as you remain alive, fate
will turn in your favor one day.

But if we stay here, there is
no way we will survive.

There is.

Mother? Did you send
Princess Sen?

Indeed. I had no other
way to save your life.

She should be reaching
the Shogun soon.

Even the Shogun will listen to his
own kin, his own grandchiId.

You see? The cannons
have stopped firing!

He has agreed! The
Shogun has agreed!

Grandfather. I, Sen, beg
you with my life.

Oh! Father! The inner keep!

My son!

Mother!

My Lord!

My Lord!

My Lord!
My Lord!

Daisuke... this
is the end.

Yes sir.

Saizo... leave!

I will not!

You mustn't die!

We must win the last battle,
then we win the war.

Why aren't you leaving? Do you wish
to go down with us and the castle?

Of course I don't
wish that.

And you, my Lord? Are you just going
to let leyasu rule the nation?

I cannot fight
against fate.

At least let me die honorably,
as a warrior should.

No! Even though
I'm just a ninja...

...I burn to defeat leyasu, even
if it takes me seven lifetimes.

For such a man as you, Sanada Yukimura,
to choose death is absurd!

Why won't you try to recover from this,
and do everything you possibly can?

We can go to the AjiRiver,
I have a boat there.

We can take the inland sea, cross
over to Shikoku, Satsuma...

...and even further to the Ryukyu
Islands, even to Luzon.

Lord, you must
not die.

Lord!

My Lord! Quickly!

Quickly!

Osaka Castle fell on the eighth
day of the fifth month.

However, Yukimura's corpse
was nowhere to be found.

On the same day...

...a small boat, steered by Kirigakure
Saizo, left the banks of the AjiRiver.

It left stealthily... and there
were no witnesses.

The End
