Uwajima in Shikoku, a domain
far away from Sendai in Touhoku.

Even here was a branch of Date family.

Uwajima Castle

In Iyo.

I'm giving him Uwajima in Iyo.

Uwajima, Iyo?

It's in Shikoku.

In year 1615,
first year of Genna era,

thanks to Ieyasu, Masamune's
oldest son Hidemune...

...was promoted to daimyo of
Uwajima Domain with income 100,000.

Uwajima

Sendai

Twenty-five old Hidemune and...

...his mother Lady Neko were...

...followed by 500 vassals, after
Masamune allowed them to go.

Uwajima City

Uwajima lies on warm place at
west coast of Shikoku,

looking out on to Bungo's open sea.

Hidemune used his power
to develop the place,

reduced the annual tax of farmers
and so won the favor of all citizens.

He was founder of a lineage that
were here for over 260 years.

Uwajima "Dance of Eight Deers", preforming

The "Dance of Eight Deers"
is still keeping and...

...it is said that is related
to Sendai's "Deer Dance".

For some reason, there is something
that reminds you at Hidemune's hometown.

Hidemune's grave
(Ryoukazan, temple Toukaku)

In the first year of Manji era (1658)..

...Date Hidemune died in Uwajima
in the age of sixty-eight.

Summer Siege of Osaka
1615

Is the city of Sakai burning?

The sparks are lighting up
the night sky,

a scene from hell.

How foolish.

I can understand burning
Nara or Kyoto.

What's the point in
burning Sakai?

We have to make sure
the army moves strategically.

It's important to decide
everyone's positions.

Make sure the castle
is defended.

This castle is indefensible.

There's no way to protect it
with the inner moats filled in.

Then must be sally forth?

Our fate will be
decided in the battlefield.

Open field battles are
Ieyasu's forte.

It can't be helped.

We'll be at a disadvantage
on an open field.

We should lie in wait

in a narrow space
in the mountain.

Yukimura Sanada is our
war expert here.

Let's hear your plan.

Sir Shigenari.

Let me see the Tokugawa's
army formation.

The enemy is attacking
from two fronts,

Hidetada and Ieyasu's main
armies are coming from Iseji.

Their troops number
130,000.

One hundred thirty!

From the Yamatoji Mizuno's
vanguard army of 4,000,

Honda's second column
of 5,000,

Tadaaki Matsudaira's
third column of 4,000

Masamune Date's
fourth column of 10,000,

lastly Tadateru Matsudaira's
12,000.

That's a total of 35,000.

And where would
the battle take place?

Near Domyoji temple
is Kawaguchi domain.

The enemy's vanguard
will come from Koriyama.

If we pin the vanguard
in the mountains

we can stop them.

Then I'll go.

- No let me.
- No, I will.

Then, Matabei Goto
and Hayato Susukida

- take your troops to Domyoji.
- All right.

I'm going to take
old Ieyasu's head.

Do your worst.

I'll be the rear guard with

Mori, Fukushima, Watanabe
and Otani.

So the castle...
it will be empty?

Sirs Ono and Kimura
will stand by you.

Sir Harunaga.

I suppose we can't relocate
Hideyori at this point?

Meaning... to where?

To Ise... or Koriyama.

What are you saying?

I don't believe
what I'm hearing.

Are you saying we yield
to Tokugawa?

That's not so.

I'm asking what would happen
if he relocated?

It's too late for that.

If he leaves the castle,
he will die.

You're saying
Ieyasu will kill him?

Not so.

The ronins who rushed
to his aid

hoping to restore the
Toyotomi regime

would riot from
desperation.

Are you saying they will
attack their lord?

Think hard. Sir Hideyori
is Osaka castle.

Without the
commander-in-chief,

what would we be
fighting for?

Bring the lucky chestnuts!

Excuse me?

Sake to start the battle.

I will not leave the castle.

I know Osaka Castle
is my grave.

May 5. The 10,000-men
Date forces

Date Main Camp
Near Doumyoji Temple

had already arrived
near Domyoji.

They had overtaken
their allied lords

and were now
in the vanguard.

You drink too, Matajiro.

Thank you.

You've become
a fine young warrior.

I approve.

Don't get earned away
and act irrationally.

Got that?

Yes.

Of all of his sons,

Masamune had brought only
Matajiro Munemoto.

Matajiro was the illegitimate
child of his mistress Lady Ko

and was the same age as
his heir Tadamune.

I select Kojuro
to be the vanguard.

Thank you, sir.

Shigezane on the right wing,
Matajiro on the left.

Until my main army attacks,
don't move.

Yes, sir.

Reporting.

Echigo army general
Sir Tadateru Matsudaira is here.

What?

I'm coming in.

- I'm happy to see you.
- I'm not.

What do you want?

Father-in-law.

How sneaky of you
to steal a march.

Steal a march?

You can't establish
a main camp at Doumyoji.

Really?

Remove your troops
immediately

and yield the camp to
the Echigo troops.

I refuse.

Show some respect.

I'm the commander-in-chief
of the Yamatoji troops.

You were appointed because
I made the arrangements.

You say I'm indebted to you?

The retired shogun agreed
on the condition that

I work with you.

Although you are in name
the commander-in-chief

you can't make a move
without my permission.

Will you leave or not?

My lord.

- Do you want to die?
- Shut up!

Do as you are told
and be the rear guard.

- Masamune!
- My lord.

Insolence!

Your temper is what
your father and brother hate.

You ignored orders and
came out on the campaign.

I heard you then killed
Nobutoki Nagasaka,

Tokugawa's hereditary vassal
at Moriyama in Goshu.

That is a serious crime.

He blocked my way.

Yet it was inexcusable
to kill him on the spot.

Until you receive word
you should confine yourself.

To prove myself in battle
is my best defense.

I won't send a general
I don't know is friend or foe.

I told you I will
take down Osaka Castle.

Sit.

Please, please.

This is where you have
to endure.

I won't listen to the reproach
of a cheat.

Naturally, I know
what you'd like to do.

However, you were the head
of the Japanese Christians.

If you take on the vanguard
without thinking

the Osaka forces will
call you a traitor.

They will target you
for death.

What of it?

Leave the fighting to us.

It's unsightly for the
brother of the shogun

to be quibbling with
non-hereditary lords

about leading the troops.

If this isn't brash courage
I don't know what is.

Brash courage?

Until we're at a critical point,
conserve your troops.

There will come a time
when you will score a merit.

I won't take orders
from you.

Then I'll tell you
my true intentions.

True intentions?

This battle will be a decisive
victory for the Tokugawa.

Osaka Castle will fall and
the Toyotomi annihilated.

The ronins will scatter.

Now what happens to
the country after that?

It will be interesting to see.

Since the retired shogun
is already seventy-four

he will eventually pass.

Since that is in god's hands,

nothing can be done
about that.

Now then, after the retired
shogun is gone,

it will truly be
Sir Hidetada's reign.

But there is a faction
in the shogunate

who do not support
Sir Hidetada.

Same with
the non-hereditary lords.

Who are you talking about?

One is sitting in front
of you.

What?

I have no intention
of committing treason.

I've given up ruling the
country long time ago.

But if you have that ambition
I will go to battle for you.

If enough lords look to you
as their commander

you becoming the
third shogun is not a dream.

The third shogun...

That's why you must not
act rashly.

Don't be concerned about
the little things in front of you

and leisurely watch
how the battle progresses.

That's so outrageous.

Can't you believe me?

Attack.

4 am. May 6.

The 2,800-men
Matabei Goto army

Mt. Komatsu

retook Mt. Komatsu,
vital for Doumyoji's defense

and attacked
Kojuro Katamura's camp.

Advance!

Attack! This is where
we will die.

Attack!

My spear!

Here I am.

I am Kojuro Shigetsuna
Katakura.

Damn you brat.

Keep up the pressure.
Advance.

Kojuro Katakura
fought furiously

and defeated
the Goto troops

and advanced on Hayato
Susukida's troops.

Formerly called Jutaro Iwami,
Hayato Susukida

was also a peerless warrior.

What? Matabei Goto
died in battle?

So did Hayato Susukida.

What a fiasco.

And has Doumyoji fallen?

Never fear.

Yukimura Sanada's troops
are holding them off.

The enemy must not
come closer.

Keep the country-destroying
cannon away.

I know that.

I think now is the time

to send an assassin into
Ieyasu's camp!

Do not fail.

Yes, my lady.

Excuse me.

Wait, Sir Harunaga.

Sir Harunaga.

My lord.

Osen.

Approach.

What did Sir Harunaga say?

He came to report
progress on the war.

Was that all?

A Tokugawa messenger was
supposed to come in secret.

He didn't say.

The retired shogun is
concerned for your life

and asks that you
open up the castle.

Osen.
You must be dreaming.

No, it's true.

How do you know?

There are several Tokugawa
spies inside the castle.

Sir Harunaga is sitting on
the letter

and endangering your life.

That's fine.

I am the commander-in-chief
of the Osaka forces.

It's no use struggling now.

I understand your intentions.

But it was your confidants
that started the war.

If you die needlessly,
the taiko would be saddened.

It can't be helped.

Find an opportunity
and leave the castle

and run to the retired
shogun's main camp.

My lord!

Thank you for serving me
all these years.

I thank you.

What are you saying?

I am your wife.
I will be with you till the end.

You came as a hostage
when you were seven

and have endured
many hardships.

I can't let you die with
a clear conscience.

If you leave the castle
and live

perhaps you'll find
some happiness.

You're the shogun's daughter

and the retired shogun's
granddaughter.

Please order a reconciliation.

It's too late.

It's out of my hands.

My lord.

Forgive me.

I want to die as taiko
Hideyoshi's child.

Konda, Habikino

Date forces clashed with
Sanada's army

the strongest
of the Osaka forces

at Habikino, Konda.

Your head is mine.

Let me go.

I'm a snapping turtle.
I won't let go.

Lord, are you all right?

Who are you?

Obara Shiroishi
mountain bandit

Soemon Komuro.

His younger brother
Hikoshichiro.

- All right.
- Pleased to know you.

Hurry up and kill him.

What shall we do,
Brother?

If we save the lord
it will be a great merit.

He'll reward us handsomely.

You think he'll give us
5 kan mon?

Stop kidding around.

How about it, lord?

Shall we shake on
5 kan mon.

Fools. Don't dilly dally.

We won't take anything less.

Okay, okay.

Damn you, let you.

Don't forget our prize, lord.

Five kan mon.

Me, too.

Ten kan mon altogether.

Fool. Five kan mon
altogether.

What?

Each 2 kan 500.

Damn, he beat us down.

Maybe we saved him
too early.

You greedy bastards.

Return to the battlefield.
Don't let the enemy escape.

It was tough going
for the Date forces.

But in the afternoon

the Osaka forces began
to retreat

hearing of Shigenari
Kimura's defeat.

Yukimura Sanada, the rear guard
also retreated to Osaka

and made camp at
Mt. Chausu in Tennoji.

The Tokugawa forces pursuit
was merciless

and by May 7 had advanced
on Tennoji with 155,000 men.

Ieyasu Main Camp, Tennoji

I'm afraid Sir Hideyori is

reluctant to leave
Osaka Castle.

What?

A secret messenger
from Princess Sen arrived.

Does Hideyori intend to
die in battle?

Yes, sir.

The vixen must have locked
him up in a cage.

Princess Sen is in danger.

She may become a victim of
the Toyotomi's demise.

It can't be helped.

Then we must save Osen
at all costs.

Yes, sir.

Sokun, any ideas?

Let's see...

How about Munenori?

If we surround the castle
and starve them

the enemy will ask
for peace.

- Oh that's...
- No peace.

I won't give on that.

I understand.

I sent Osen to Osaka.

She must hate me.

Listen.

We have to save Osen
no matter what.

I feel your pain.

Leave it to me.

I will do everything, both
inside and out of the castle

to bring Princess Sen
to safety.

And then?

When she is safely
out of the castle

please use your good offices

to allow Princess Sen to
bog for Sir Hideyori's life

to the shogun.

I'll leave it
in your hands.

You must not fail.

I won't.

I can't wait any longer.
The war will end.

Osaka is not
the only battlefield.

Be patient and wait until
the time is ripe.

There's a limit to my patience.

I can't go back to Echigo

without my 12,000 forces
ever engaging in battle.

Reporting.

What is it?

Sir Tadanao Matsudaira's
forces

has won a decisive victory.

Yukimura Sanada died in
battle at Ango Shrine.

Good. The war is as good as won.

See, Masamune?

My nephew stole my merit.

- Shigezane, let's go.
- All right.

Wait.
The Echigo forces go first.

Then your allies will
fire upon you.

Are you saying you'll
attack us?

Not so.

The hereditary Tokugawa
lords are furious

over the Goshu incident
and revile Sir Tadateru.

If they attack me,
I'll retaliate.

- That's the same as revolt.
- I don't care.

You still don't got it,
Sir Tadateru.

Your impatience will affect your
chance to become the third shogun.

According to the reports,

most of the Christian ronins
are abandoning Osaka Castle.

When they have
no place to go

and all come streaming into
your main camp,

what will happen?

The retired shogun will
suspect you once again.

Damn it.

This is so frustrating!

Listen to me.

There's only one way
to win a war.

That is to survive.

If you survive,
you will win.

Don't ever forget that.

May 8.

The Osaka forces' war dead
had reached 15,000

and were cornered
within the castle.

Hideyori,
this place is dangerous.

It will be engulfed
in fire soon.

I know that.

Go to the back from
the second citadel.

Not necessary.

What are you saying?

This is it.

I've decided I will die here.

The war is not finished.

Mother. You don't know
when to give up.

Princess Sen...
where is she?

She left the castle.

What?

Left?

I have no regrets.

Hideyori!

Osaka Castle...

is burning...

Yes...
It's engulfed in flames.

Retired Shogun!

Good news.

Princess Sen was rescued.

Osen!

She will be here shortly.

Good work.
Good work, Munenari.

Osen.

This is indeed
Princess Sen.

Congratulations.

Some water.

Osen.

Osen! It's me.
It's Grandpa.

It's Ieyasu.

Grandpa?

Osen.

- Here.
- Some water.

Water for you.

Are you all right?
Are you hurt?

You must have been
so frightened.

Yes.

Munenori.

Who saved Osen?

Sir Sakazaki, lord of Dewa.

He braved the fire

and earned the princess
out of the castle.

Summon Sakazaki here.

I want to praise him
personally.

Unfortunately,
his face was badly burned

and is unconscious.

He is to be commended.

Make sure he gets
the best treatment.

Yes, sir.

And tell Hidetada
Osen is safe.

Grandpa.

Yes, what is it?

What is it?

For pity's sake.

Please save Sir Hideyori.

Please save his life.

I beg you.

Don't you worry.

I will do right by him.

Sir Hideyori made it clear
several times his intention

to relocate to Ise or
Koriyama.

But his mother wouldn't.

I've known all along.

I don't want to break
my promise to the taiko.

For your sake, too.
I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

I know you must have
suffered tremendously.

You will never be
unhappy again.

Grandpa.

Forgive me.

How you must have
endured all these years...

...you poor thing.

- Forgive me
- Grandpa.

Rice Warehouse. Osaka Castle

Most of the notable warriors
of the Osaka forces

had died in battle,
committed suicide

or absconded.

The Osaka Summer Siege
was coming to an end.

I am Tokugawa vassal
Naotaka Ii.

By orders of
the retired shogun

I am here to take into
custody

Sir Hideyori
and Lady Yodo.

Would you please
come out.

My lord.

Do not worry.

The retired shogun
will personally greet

Sir Hideyori
at Sakuradamon Gate.

Well?

I would like your reply.

I hope you have
the palanquin ready?

Yes, of course.

With inordinate mercy

he has two palanquins
prepared.

Inordinate mercy?

I wish you a healthy life
forever.

You're telling us to go?

Although it must be
extremely regrettable,

your survival is paramount

to the restoration of
the Toyotomi clan.

I can't leave you behind.

I appreciate your words, but...

Let the others go first.

That will not be permitted.

How long are you going
to keep us waiting?

Hurry up.

Please hurry.

This is it.

What?

We are surrounded by
the rifle squad.

If we go out,
they are going to kill us.

Hideyori.

Hideyori.

Let's take our own lives.

Forgive me.

Hideyori.

This is farewell.

Mother.

There's one thing
I must know.

My father... is the taiko
really my father?

He is.

Thank you.

Harunaga.

The final blow.

This is farewell.

Kojuro is a demon.

He killed Matabei Goto
and Hayato Susukida

and distinguished himself.

All the lords are saying

he is indeed the heir
of his father Kagetsuna.

Thank you.

But I have to apologize
to you, Sir Shigezane.

Apologize.

I chipped the Hadakosode
that I was keeping for you.

Oh...

That's fine.

That's the mark of his
promise.

Just as you say.

As yours was the first
merit on the battlefield,

I once again
give this to you.

Thank you, sir.

It will be our family treasure
forever.

Matajiro.

What did you think
of your first battle?

Was it terrifying?

I didn't know
what I was doing.

At first everyone's like that.

Before long, your nerves
will steady

and you will become
sly and cunning.

Listen, Matajiro.

Your vassals are all important
on the battlefield.

That's right.

It's foolishness to cause
their deaths

in pursuit of a merit.

You're not a true
warrior lord.

Yes, sir.

Although the Osaka siege
is over,

the retired shogun is not
resting easy.

It's very different from
the Battle of Sekigahara.

Do you know why?

I don't.

How about you, Kojuro?

Is it because he destroyed
his master's clan?

That's not all.

Although he won,

there's no territory
he can reallocate.

I see.

Even if he confiscated
half of the Osaka 60,000,

it's too little to reward the
lords who participated.

A mere pittance.

What would you do,
Shigezane?

They have to
forgo their reward.

After they brought
troops from afar

had their men
die in battle

and used up supplies
and ammunition

they get nothing?

They will be dissatisfied.

We have to see
what happens.

Let's see how the retired
shogun handles this.

Shogen reporting.

Sir Hideyori, Lady Yodo killed
themselves inside Osaka Castle.

- What?
- Say that again.

Sir Hideyori, Lady Yodo
killed themselves.

Damn Ieyasu.

Fools...
