EPISODE 22: ARBITRATION

Hojo Ujimasa finally agreed to pay homage,

on the condition they get
Numata Castle from the Sanada.

The arbitration was about
to begin to determine

the true owner of Numata.

ARBITRATION BEGINS

In the first place, Numata Castle...

belonged to the Uesugi...

but in the siege of Otate in 1578...

the Hojo seized it.

Therefore, it clearly belongs to the Hojo.

End of discussion.

What is the Sanada's argument?

True, it belonged to the Hojo in the past.

But in 1580, the castle was
captured by the Takeda.

For two years until it was
surrendered to the Oda,

Numata Castle was under
the control of the Sanada.

I don't know why the Hojo
are claiming that it's theirs.

That's all.

Representing the Hojo is
Itabeoka Kosetsusai.

Representing the Sanada is Nobushige.

Representing the Tokugawa
is Honda Masanobu.

The representatives of the various clans

were gathered before Regent Hideyoshi.

Interesting!

They're clashing head-on.

If I may humbly speak, Regent.

Who built Numata Castle?

Sir Katagiri.

Numata Castle was founded

by Numata Akiyasu,
a provincial lord in Kozuke.

Akiyasu was close to the Uesugi.

This is the interesting part.

There was a conflict within the clan,

and the clansmen split between
the Uesugi and the Hojo.

The one who settled
the conflict then was...

You're being lengthy.

It was Uesugi Kenshin.

Why is everyone dwelling on this castle?

Sir Katagiri.

Numata Castle is located on
the border of Kozuke and Echigo.

It's in northernmost Kanto.

It's on the cliff between
the Tone and Katashina rivers.

It's a natural stronghold.

It's easy to defend and hard to attack.

I understand the importance
of Numata Castle.

Continue on.

Sir Kosetsusai.

The key point is...

who possessed the castle first?

It's clearly the Hojo.

What is the Sanada's comeback to that?

It doesn't matter who possessed it first.

If that's the case,
it should be returned to the Uesugi.

Point!

In the past, the Uesugi, Hojo,
and Sanada have fought for Numata.

Then the Oda appeared
and seized the castle.

The key point is,
who got it back from the Oda?

That would be the Hojo.

We drove out the Oda from Kozuke-Shinano.

It may've been the Hojo
that drove out the Oda,

but as far as Numata Castle is concerned,

it's something that the Sanada won.

Disagree! You claim to have won it,

but in actuality, during the chaotic
Honno-ji Incident, didn't you seize it?

That's going too far.

You seized it!

If I may further add...

at the time, the Sanada
were an Oda vassal,

under Takigawa Kazumasu.

In essence, the Sanada
betrayed their master, Takigawa,

and tricked him out of Numata.

Am I wrong?

As you say, we won it by using trickery!

What do we do?

This is truly interesting.

I'm feeling a bit tired.

Let us take a break now.

You're doing good.

You're absolutely even with him now.

I fell for his bait.

We seized Numata using trickery.

You were just honest.
Don't let it bother you.

The Tokugawa have yet to utter a word.

What position are they going to take?

This is getting interesting.

I consider this to be a battle.

I feel the same way.

You have to win in battle.

I won't go easy on you.

Bring it on.

By arguing like this,

we can avoid an actual battle.

You can't enter beyond this point.

You have a big task.

It's for the Sanada clan.

Kiri!

Sir Hidetsugu!

As promised, I brought you food.

I appreciate it.

Here's yours.

Kosetsusai is loud and despicable.

He may be a reasonable man.

I love Numata Castle.

Don't let the Hojo take it.

It's situated atop a tall cliff
and the views are fabulous.

How I would love to go.

Sir Honda, I have a question.

A pact was formed between
the Hojo and the Tokugawa in 1582.

ARBITRATION RESUMES

I heard Numata Castle
was mentioned in the talks.

What were the details?

Let me give them to you.

If I may go first, regarding that matter.

Is that all right?

Back then there was a long-standing war

between the Tokugawa and the Hojo.

It was indecisive.

Seeing it was unbeneficial
to continue the war,

we initiated peace talks.

At that time, the Tokugawa
offered Numata Castle

owned by their vassal,
the Sanada, to the Hojo.

I have the written promise
here as evidence.

If we may see that.

Sir Honda, is what he stated true?

Basically, yes.

What is the Sanada's side to it?

In 1582, the same year,

the Sanada formed a pact
with the Tokugawa.

At that time, the Tokugawa
promised Numata to the Sanada.

Lord Tokugawa said Numata
will forever belong to the Sanada.

This is the written promise.

If we may see that.

In other words, the Tokugawa

promised to give Numata
to the Sanada and the Hojo.

Is that it?

That is correct.

That makes it clear.

The Tokugawa has to decide which promise

they're going to honor.

That is true.

My son is hungry.

You take charge.

What?

Manage this arbitration.

Yes, sir.

Well...

I see the line of thinking.

The Tokugawa's promises
to the Sanada and the Hojo...

If I may speak.

Sir Kosetsusai?

The Tokugawa and the Sanada
are master and vassal.

The promise made between them

is like that between a parent and child.

Please wait.

By contrast, the promise between
the Hojo and the Tokugawa

is a pact between provinces.

The level of importance is different.

It's obvious which should
carry the greater weight!

Please examine the two
written promises carefully.

Sir Katagiri, what is the date
on the Hojo's document?

It's October 29, 1582.

What about the date on
the Sanada's document?

September 28, 1582.

Ours is a month earlier.

It's obvious which should
carry more weight.

There is a ranking even with promises.

Be it between daimyo,

or between parent-child,

they are of equal importance.

The promise that was made
first must not be broken.

That's basic reasoning!

Sanada.

Do you realize what you are saying?

I beg your pardon?

This is what you said.

Lord Tokugawa...

in spite of their promise to the Sanada,

ignored basic reasoning

and made a promise to the Hojo.

I didn't mean that!

Lord Tokugawa clearly stated
before our clansmen,

that he would give Numata to the Hojo.

Are you calling him a liar?

Are you slighting him for being
double-tongued and dirty?

Now, now, I don't understand.

My lord wouldn't say that.

Huh?

In the first place, my lord

had no intent of giving Numata away.

What are you saying?

What we told the Hojo is,

if you want to seize Numata, go ahead.

That was it.

Don't be ridiculous.

They weren't told they could have it?

It was, if you want to seize it, go ahead.

That should be part of
the written promise.

Sir Honda!

Doesn't it say, it depends on them?

Depends on them?

Yes.

If they can seize
Numata Castle on their own,

the Tokugawa will not stand in their way.

That's the implication.

Wait a minute!

I found it.

-It does say that.
-Show it to me.

Right here.

It is stated right here.

That's a matter of interpretation.

Doesn't it mean we can
have it any time we want?

That was my understanding.

What?

That's one way of looking at it.

You're being disgraceful.

Lord Tokugawa promised!

He said we can have Numata Castle!

That's what I heard.

You heard that, too.

I don't recall that.

Sir Honda!

I forgot.

What's going on?!

Kosetsusai.

I've been thinking...

Whether it's given or seized,

aren't you acknowledging
it belongs to the Sanada?

If it rightly belongs to the Hojo,

wouldn't you say retrieve or take it back?

That is...

It shows the Hojo recognizes
Numata belongs to the Sanada.

You let the cat out of the bag.

Isn't that right, Kosetsusai?

End of discussion.

Mitsunari.

We've heard both sides.

You will receive
the Regent's judgment later.

Sir Honda!

What is it?

Thank you!

I haven't done anything
to be thanked for.

Why did you side with us?

I merely spoke the truth.

You could've kept quiet.

That really helped.

When I see a youngster fighting hard,

I can't resist extending
my hand as an elder.

That's how it is.

Excuse me.

Good job!

We won this battle.

Thank you.

That should force the Hojo
to give up on Numata.

That's what they get for
getting Hideyoshi involved.

I knew you were in here.

Don't hide at this point.

You've caused trouble.

I don't understand.

You ruined the plan.

I can't let that comment go.

I know how you feel,
but it can't end like this.

Please explain.

What is most important to the Regent is,

getting the Hojo to pay homage.

Toward that end,

he'd give them Numata.

What was the purpose of today's meeting?

We could've easily
handed over Numata to the Hojo,

but that wouldn't be fair
to the Sanada.

Hence, today's meeting.

Lord Sanada, please give in.

Are you telling me to give up on Numata?

-That's right.
-I refuse.

If you don't bend,
it'll turn into a battle with the Hojo.

That's fine.

It won't end as a battle between you two.

It could turn into a war
involving the country.

Not over Numata.

Numata will be the spark!

I know it's unreasonable.

Please.

Sir Ishida, please raise your head.

Let's give them Numata.

A fief equivalent to Numata.

I'll ask the Tokugawa
to give that to the Sanada.

There's no fief that can
equally replace Numata.

That won't be necessary.

I have just one wish.

At Nagurumi, on the outskirts of Numata,

are the ancestral graves
of the Sanada family.

I cannot hand that over.

In that case, Nagurumi will remain
in Sanada's control.

I will obey the Regent on the rest.

I apologize for this.

I didn't know our ancestors
are buried at Nagurumi.

I made that up.

I had to get a punch in.

But...

at least we have Nagurumi.

Yes.

Nagurumi is at a high elevation.

From that castle, you have
a full view of Numata.

As long as we have Nagurumi,

we can keep watch on Numata.

Sute.

Is it decided?

I would like to resolve it with this.

Judgment was passed.

Two-thirds of Numata,
including Numata Castle, went to the Hojo.

One-third, including Nagurumi Castle,
went to the Sanada.

Hence, the Numata arbitration
was concluded.

What will happen if the
Sanada occupies Nagurumi?

If we go to battle,
they'll know our every movement.

Retired Lord, please go to Kyoto.

The Regent gave us Numata
to have you pay homage.

You must go to Kyoto.

Whose vassal are you?

Ujinao, send an army
of 10,000 to Numata Castle.

Very well.

Retired Lord!

We won't launch an attack.

I'm showing Hideyoshi
that I'm unhappy with the decision.

Regent Hideyoshi said,
we must not mobilize an army

over 1,000 during
the transfer of the castle.

Make that 20,000.

Certainly.

Will the Hojo instigate battle?

It doesn't appear so.

They're just putting Nagurumi in check.

Shucks.

Unhappy with my judgment,

I thought Ujimasa would instigate battle.

He's not an idiot,
so I doubt he'd do that.

How boring.

If Ujimasa would pay homage now,

all will be well.

KOZUKE - NUMATA CASTLE

We know it's unreasonable.

But please endure.

But you're randomly telling us
to surrender the castle.

I don't know the details either.

Father just informed me today.

Most likely...

the decision came from above.

Even so...

Don't say anymore!

It's hard for me to ask you this.

Great-Uncle, please agree.

What will happen to my father now?

I'll have him come to my
Iwabitsu Castle for now.

What is he saying?

I don't know.

Watanabe Ukon...
Kaneko Heisuke...

Annaka Goro...

The men who died to protect
this Numata Castle...

I was remembering their names.

Tell me...

how am I to apologize to those men?

What...

did those men die for?!

Father!

How old will great-uncle be this year?

Seventy-two.

Isn't it about time that you took over?

I doubt my father will retire.

He said he'll live to 100.

He doesn't look that strong.

Those are the very ones that live long.

Young Lord, please come.

Father!

Go ahead and surrender
the castle.

But I'm not moving from here.

I'm dying in this castle.

That's absurd.

I'm staying here!

Father!

Hands off of me!

Help him!

I'm staying.

What are you doing?! Go away!

He's emotional now.

It won't kill him to be a little rough!

Take him away!

I'm staying in this castle!

As the Hojo acquired Numata Castle,
the eastern upheaval

stemming from Honno-ji
concluded temporarily.

Or so it seemed.

This is terrible.

NOVEMBER 1589

Nagurumi...?!

Yes.

Inomata Kuninori, the Hojo vassal
who occupied Numata Castle,

suddenly attacked
Nagurumi Castle and seized it.

What's the situation at Nagurumi?

The Hojo have occupied it.

Suzuki Mondo, the castellan,
has committed suicide.

That's horrible.

Let's prepare for battle immediately.

Battle?

To retrieve the castle.

But...

Young Lord!

Why are you hesitating?!

Father-in-law!

Send an army at once to Nagurumi.

It must be fate that I'm here.

I, Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu,
will assist.

That's very reassuring.

Give me a hundred men
and I will serve as the vanguard.

Father-in-law, please stay out of this.

What?

Why are you here?

I came to see Ina's face.

Then go back to Ina.

Young Lord?

This is a military conference
for the Sanada.

You are a Tokugawa vassal.

Please go back at once.

Son-in-law.

Well said!

Sasuke, report this to
my father in Kyoto right away.

Yes, sir.

How many days will it take to reach Kyoto?

-Five.
-Do it in four.

Certainly.

I feel...

...vexed too.

SAGAMI - ODAWARA CASTLE

Inomata seized Nagurumi?

That was bold of him.

That was foolish of him.

Inomata has seized control of Numata.

He must've been vexed that
they took Nagurumi.

I'm going out.

Retired Lord!

I'm worried about Hideyoshi.

I hope he doesn't use this
as an excuse to attack us.

Why would Hideyoshi get involved?

This is a strife between
the Hojo and the Sanada.

KYOTO - SANADA MANSION

If I knew it would come to this...

I would've given Nagurumi to the Hojo.

If I recall correctly,

the late Suzuki Mondo...

He's a long-time vassal of the Sanada.

I feel awful.

What is my brother doing?

He's preparing for battle.

He's waiting for the lord's order.

Sasuke, tell Genzaburo
to retrieve Nagurumi at once.

-Yes, sir.
-How long did you take to come here?

-Four days.
-Go back in three days.

Make that two days.

Father, please wait.

We must exact revenge.

Let's report it to the Regent first.

Do we need permission for everything?

If we act on our own, we will be punished.

Father, the system has changed.

KYOTO - JURAKUTEI

Please give us permission
to retrieve Nagurumi Castle.

Regent, we won't cause you trouble.

Our Sanada army will retrieve the castle.

Lord Sanada.

Will you entrust the
Nagurumi matter to me?

-Regent?
-It won't be resolved in your disfavor.

Leave the rest to me.

But...

Begone.

Let's go, Father.

Mitsunari.

Yes, sir.

This confirms the Hojo invasion.

Let me send a letter
to the Hojo once more,

to return Nagurumi to the Sanada,
and pay homage.

If they refuse,
we will finally engage in battle.

Despite getting the castle taken,

we can't act on retrieving it,

and have to twiddle our thumbs and wait.

Why did I go under Hideyoshi?

Damn Monkey.

Jurakutei is hard to invade
because of the moats.

But when I did some checking,

the eastern side is loosely guarded.

We can seize it.

I've never seen my father
looking so vexed.

Sir Ideura, too.

They're full of regrets.

Why is Hideyoshi sticking
his nose into this?

Like a parent meddling in
a child's fight! Unsightly!

He's dying to invade us.

It would be wise to obey.

Retired Lord!

How did it go?

Ujimasa refused.

It turned out the way you wanted.

Now, you have a reason to punish them.

Prepare for the Hojo expedition.

Regent, let me press
Ujimasa to pay homage.

-Enough!
-I'm asking you, too.

If Ujimasa comes to see you,
we can find out the truth.

I've extended a hand to him
many times thus far.

But Ujimasa rejected it.

What's left is battle.

Understood.

Notify the daimyo!

I'll scare them with the size
of our huge army!

It's finally turned to battle.

This is how it always is
when a battle starts.

Once he starts moving,
he forges ahead like a wild bull.

No one can stop him.

Hideyoshi will be invading.

While Odawara Castle stands,

we will not lose.

The Uesugi, Tokugawa, Sanada,

as well as the daimyo in
Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu.

He's coming with an
unbelievably huge army.

Bring it on.

We have an alliance with the Date.

Kosetsusai.

Yes, sir.

Go to Sunpu.

Let's get the Tokugawa.

You want to...

gain them as an ally from now?

We still have time! Persuade them!

Hideyoshi gathered
a colossal army at a moment's notice.

Let us punish the Hojo!

Yes, sir!

SURUGA - SUNPU CASTLE

He should've met with
Hideyoshi much sooner!

What should I do about Kosetsusai?

Why would I side with
the Hojo at this point?

Turn him away.

In that case, I'll tell him
that you're in Kyoto.

It's over...

for the Hojo.

From this point,

the illustrious Hojo family
in Kanto was headed for doom.

END OF EPISODE 22

PREVIEW

Are you planning to destroy the Hojo?!

Charge!

Why is it taking so long
to capture a castle?

Persuade Ujimasa.

Genjiro, I'm counting on you.

NEXT EPISODE: CONQUEST
