-Do you like the ocean?
-Yes.

KASUGAYAMA CASTLE

Sanada Yukimura now lives in
Kasugayama Castle, Echigo.

Sanada Yukimura now lives in Kasugayama Castle, Echigo.
It has been one and a half year since he moved over here.

It has been one and a half year
since he moved over here.

Yukimura highly respects
the castle owner, Uesugi Kagekatsu.

Kagekatsu is generous enough to teach Uesugi's
art of war and his philosophy as a feudal warlord.

Meanwhile, Masayuki and Nobuyuki,
who met leyasu and Hideyoshi,

Were visiting Nakurumi Castle in Kozuke.

OKIKU
I am Kiku.

Well-done, well-done.

-Come over here. Come.
-Go, Okiku.

So you are Okiku.

Father, how is it?

I never thought of holding my baby at this age.

Okiku. I am your brother.
Do you know it?

You know?

You know?

You know!

I've been telling her about you, Brother Genzaburo.

Sir Kotaro plays with her often.

You've grown so strong, Kotaro.

I have to refrain from calling you a white rabbit.

Lord Awa.

You look like Grandpa holding his granddaughter.

Don't say that, Mondo!

By the way,
how are Odawara people (Hojo) doing?

-Miss Otoku, Kotaro.
-Yes.

Okiku.

Leave her here.

Hojo secretly sent their soldiers to
Nakayama Castle near Numata Castle.

Shall I send 500 soldiers here from Iwabitsu?

No, Father. You shouldn't do that.

Your brother is saying so.

Since we became a Tokugawa vassal, the Hojo must
think they already have Numata and Nakurumi Castles.

You are right.

That's why I think we shouldn't stimulate them,
in a moment like this.

Ouch! Ow!

Okiku, let go...

I think you should send more soldiers
to the Daido Pass.

As long as we guard there, we will be fine
even if the Hojo advances onto Nakurumi.

We have Sir Mondo here.
This castle will not fall easily.

Shall we do that?

I will stake my life on protecting this castle.

I see.

How was Osaka?

Well, I'm in trouble now.

I have to send Genjiro to Osaka.

But... he is in Echigo now.

That's why I'm in trouble.

Well...?

I sent Genjiro to Echigo because...

I wanted to show my sincerity
to my lifesaver, Sir Uesugi.

But I cannot disobey the Regent.

Then, I have to do wrong to Sir Uesugi.

You always have something to worry about.

-Otoku.
-Yes.

You are...

The only person who comforts me like this.

My Lord.

You have grown more grey hair.

Is that so?

You seem to be gaining weight.

Because I had a baby.

-But my wife hasn't...
-Her Ladyship has not gain weight?

Yeah, she hasn't lost weight either.

-Otoku.
-Yes.

Will you stay here for a while?

I cannot go back to Numata?

I have to hand Numata over
to the Hojo eventually.

Otoku.

Bear with it for a while, will you?

Someday we can live together.

Please bear it until then, all right?

I beg you.

IWABITSU CASTLE

We just came back.

Thank you for stopping by.

-Are you doing well?
-Yes.

Hisano, I'm glad to see you well, too.

Thank you so much for your hard work.

Oh... not at all.

We are sorry for having not been able to help you.

That's all right.

Hisano.

Kakubei is doing well at Ueda.

You must have been stressed out because of
a series of problems during last several years.

I sincerely apologize for Kakubei's misconduct.

Well, he is regretting what he has done.
He is being good now.

Please take care of him.

I heard this news from Sanjuro who returned
before you. Genzaburo is engaged now?

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

So you are getting married, Genzaburo.

I am relieved now.

Not everything is auspicious.

I have to send Genjiro to Osaka.

Is that true?

It hasn't changed a bit...

Is she doing well?

I mean, Otoku.

I haven't heard her baby's name.

She is Okiku.

How old is she now?

She is four.

Is she growing up in good health?

I have been wondering
if she has somebody who has raised a child.

Were you worried about her?

I want to see Okiku sometime.

I, too, have been thinking of you all the time.

I am going to call you over to Ueda
at some future date.

Thank you.

But the Numata matter is getting complicated now.

I will call you over in due time.
So please bear with it until then.

I'm happy to hear that.

Ah, you've got lint here.

Oh...

Genzaburo.

You must be concerned about
Miss Otoku and her daughter.

Am I wrong?

Oh, no. You're right.

This is done.

After Mother and Auntie move to Ueda,

You should move Miss Otoku and her daughter
over here to Iwabitsu.

Something wrong?

Oh, no...

I guess I have no other choice.

Right.

-Say, Genzaburo.
-Yes.

I don't mind handing Numata over to the Hojo,
but I don't want to give up Nakurumi.

If I lose Nakurumi,
Iwabitsu will be almost stripped naked.

I'm not going to give up Nakurumi.

Yes, we cannot give up Nakurumi.

Do you think so?

Yes.

But we might have to fight
the Hojo and Tokugawa again.

Yes.

Yes. You are marrying a daughter
of one of the Four Tokugawa Generals.

You are marrying a daughter of
one of the Four Tokugawa Generals.

Even if we get into bad terms with the Tokugawa,

There is something that
the Sanada has to protect by all means.

Well said.

Now, Father, you have to send Genjiro
to the Regent's as soon as possible.

It all depends on Genjiro's capability, but...

If the Regent hires him as one of his aides, Genjiro
can become a bridge between the Sanada and Toyotomi.

I have hope in Genjiro.

KASUGAYAMA CASTLE

The Lord came over from Ueda.

I know.

I wonder why...

So?

Yes. At Sunpu, my son Genzaburo got
engaged with Lord Mikawa's daughter.

That's auspicious.

Yes...

What's the matter?

Oh... nothing.

So, you went to Osaka, too?

Yes, I did.

Actually, when I was in Osaka,
the Regent told me to send Genjiro to Osaka.

I agreed to it.

Please... please...
let me send Genjiro to Osaka.

I am begging you knowing
how ungrateful I may seem to you, Your Excellency.

There is no choice.

If that's what the Regent wants,
you have to agree to it, Lord Awa.

Yes.

-But, Lord Awa.
-Yes.

I want to send Genjiro to Osaka myself.
Got it?

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Tonight, you can spend as much time as
you want with him.

Lord Awa.

The Lord is in a bad mood,
not because of what you did.

He doesn't think you did wrong to him.

Yes.

He often called out Genjiro's name.
He wanted Genjiro to stay with him all the time.

He is feeling lonely because he has to let Genjiro go.

-Saheiji.
-Yes.

-You are going to Osaka next.
-Yes, I will go wherever he goes.

-Any news from Ueda?
-Yes.

-How old is Sasuke?
-He is three now, sire.

Please call me anytime when you need me.

Genjiro.

It's Osaka.

Yes.

I am a Tokugawa vassal now.
So I am ready to give Numata to the Hojo.

I don't care.

Soon, the Regent will tell Hojo Ujimasa
to travel to Kyoto and demand compliance.

But the Hojo is proud of their lofty lineage.

They still rely on their past glory.
They haven't discarded their stupid pride.

They must be contemptuous of the Regent,
thinking him as a former sandal carrier.

As long as they think that way, it is like they
are putting a noose around their own necks.

Father.

What kind of lady is Brother's fiancee?

She is a daughter of Honda Heihachi.

Is she pretty?

So he is finally getting married.

I hope she is a nice person.

Genjiro.

Take care of yourself.

I will.

SANADA ESTATE, SHINANO PROVINCE

"Rolling, rolling, animal eye."

Oh, Sir Matagoro.

I didn't mean to make an appearance at dinner time.

-It's all right. Why don't you join us?
-Oh, no. Please don't bother.

-How about some sake?
-I'm fine.

-Hey, Moyo.
-Yes.

Please come in.

Well, then...

Thank you for stopping by.

Hey, Sasuke.
Sit straight and greet Sir Matagoro.

You know, he is like my real grandson.

I see.

-Moyo.
-Yes.

The Lord returned from Echigo today.
He brought you some words from Saheiji.

From Saheiji?

He said he is doing well.

Great.

One more thing.
Sasuke, do you like this?

Did you make it?

This is...

This is from Saheiji.

-Here, Sasuke.
-Thank you.

Sasuke, look at this.

-Hey, pour sake for him.
-Yes.

About Saheiji.

He is going to Osaka with Sir Genjiro pretty soon.

To Osaka?

To Osaka Castle.

I see.

It's farther away than Echigo.

Don't worry, Moyo.

Our ninja go to Kyoto and Osaka quite often.
I do, too.

We are going to set up a lodging there soon.

After that, Osaka will be closer
than Echigo, in a sense.

Yes.

This woman, too, was thinking of her man
who is moving into Osaka Castle.

The ninja girl, Oko, was feeling
an overwhelming rush of love for Yukimura.

To prepare for Yukimura's moving into Osaka Castle,

The Sanada already set up a lodging for ninja
at Bizenjima, north of Osaka Castle.

NINJA LODGING, BIZENJIMA

-It's almost done, isn't it?
-Yeah. The basement, too.

Oko.

I see.

When is Sir Genjiro coming to Osaka?

Pretty soon.

Sir Yagobei.

Miss Oko.

I got a good idea.

What about digging a tunnel from the basement?

To where?

To Osaka Castle where Sir Genjiro is moving in.

What?

-I was just kidding, sir.
-Sir Yagobei.

Sir Saizo is here.

I'm back.

How about Kyushu?

Hideyoshi conquered the Shimazu.

He is coming back in 10 days.

His next target is the Hojo.

Are you sure?

I was spying at Hideyoshi's headquarters.

Hojo is our neighbor.
I hope the fire will not jump to the Sanada.

As soon as Hideyoshi returns to Osaka,
he will order us to hand Numata Castle over.

UEDA CASTLE "The details
will be informed by Tada Sakon-no-shogen."

"Yours respectfully,"

Hideyoshi's messenger said Hideyoshi is
handing Numata Castle over to the Hojo.

Masayuki finally agreed.

OSAKA CASTLE

TOYOTOMI HIDEYOSHI

So, you are Awa's son?

I am Genjiro Yukimura, sire.

Glad to see you, son.

Yes.

-Hey, come closer.
-Yes.

Are you married?

No.

You don't like women?

I do.

I love women!

You know. No fun to look at Jibu's (Mitsunari's) face.

ISHIDA MITSUNARI

So...

What did Uesugi say?

Yes?

About me stealing you from him.

Nothing particular.

All right.

-Genjiro.
-Yes.

What kind of women do you like?

Yes?

There are so many, you know? Round ones,
squared ones, skinny ones, chubby ones.

There are women like a cherry flower,
a plum flower, a winter camellia, and a gentian.

-So many different kinds, right?
-Yes.

I like women like White Magnolia.

-White Magnolia?
-Yes.

So you know a woman like that?

Yes.

Show her to me.

-I'm afraid I cannot.
-What?

I don't know where she is.
I cannot get hold of her.

Oh, no! What a waste!

What kind of women do you like, Your Highness?

Nobody has asked me what kind of women I like.

I am sorry.

That's all right.

-Genjiro.
-Yes.

How do you like Osaka Castle?

Yes.

It's like a woman, sire.

Are you saying this castle is weak?

Your Highness, do you think women are weak?

Today, I am seeing your castle for the first time.

From far away, it looks gorgeous and graceful.
At first glance, it looks feeble.

Once you enter the castle, you see well-designed
walls, moats, baileys and turrets. It is pretty tough.

That is why I said it looks like a woman.

That's it! Right!

I know what you are talking about.

Handling women is a pretty hard job.

It is a piece of cake for me
to killl armored warriors.

But women are harder to control. Hard to attack.

I know it well.

I, too, had quite a few hard times with...

-Genjiro.
-Yes.

Did you have hard times, too?

My father had more.

He did?

I see.

So he had hard times, too.

Yes.

When I gave Numata to the Hojo, Lord Awa
conducted himself properly. That was good.

Thank you.

In contrast, the stupid Hojo asked me
to give them Nakurumi, too.

Don't worry.

Sanada and Uesugi gave you to me.
I won't treat them badly.

Thank you.

Anyway, Genjiro, enjoy your stay in this castle.

Yes, sire!

Yukimura's life at Osaka Castle started.

-What are they?
-Europeans.

Europeans?

I'm trading with Europe.

Trading?

I'm buying goods from Europe
and selling them Japanese goods.

It's business between countries.

-Jibu!
-Yes.

Show him a gift from them.

Yes.

What is this?

The ground we are standing on...

It looks like this
when viewed from far away, they said.

Oko.

I've been waiting.

I knew you were coming.

We set up lodging near this castle, at Bizenjima.

It's managed by Sir Yagobei.
I stay there often.

Will you come and see me from time to time?

Yes.

We now have a hideout in Osaka.
That means Ueda and Osaka are connected.

Oko.

I have a message for my father.

Yes.

Hojo asked the Regent to give them Nakurumi, too.

As to how the Regent will deal with it...
I don't know.

I understand.

How is Osaka?

-Everything is new to me.
-Yes.

I saw so many things. I learned about them.
I want to learn more.

I saw so many things. I learned about them. I
want to learn more. Aren't you having a hard time?

Aren't you having a hard time?

No.

I bet there are many beautiful women in this castle.

What are you saying?

Please lower your voice.

You are the only woman I'm interested in.

You are making me happy.

To receive Numata Castle, Hojo Ujimasa
sent his army to Numata, Kozuke Province.

NUMATA CASTLE

Masayuki obtained this castle
by the sweat and blood of his own.

The castle was handed over from
the Sanada to the Hojo on this day.

Hojo is asking the Regent
to give them Nakurumi, too.

FIREPLACE ROOM, UEDA CASTLE
What is the Regent saying?

We don't know what he is going to do.

However, the Nakurumi matter
will be a key to us for a while.

PRINCESS INA
In that fall,

A bride came to Ueda Castle.

A wedding banquet for Nobuyuki
and Princess Ina was held.

At the same time, Lady Yamanote and Hisano
moved over to Ueda Castle from Iwabitsu Castle.

What a beautiful bride.

What a perfect match.

-Genzaburo.
-Yes.

-Take a good care of your wife.
-Yes.

Father, Mother.

I am still inexperienced,
but please be nice to me forever.

Nice to meet you.

Vassals are celebrating our marriage.

The party will last until morning.
Please forgive them.

That's all right.

We are husband and wife now, aren't we?

I am pleased to marry you.

The pleasure is all mine.

You have to teach me Tokugawa's family tradition.

I, too, have to learn Sanada's family tradition.

But, no hurry.

Take it easy.

Yes.

As you can see from my father,
we are not a formal family.

Your father and my father are somewhat alike.

Master...

I hope I can see your brother soon.

He is in Osaka now.

I know.

What kind of person is he?

-Him? Genjiro?
-Yes.

He is bright and amusing.

He makes everybody feel relaxed.

Even if you feel down,
you would feel spirited when he is around.

Even if he carries burdens all by himself,
he never complains. He is always cheerful.

As if he knows how to transform
hardships to happiness.

I'm grateful to have him as my brother.

Then you must be...

Ionely living far from your brother.

A little bit.

Oh...

I'm related to the Tokugawa now.
My brother is staying at Toyotomi's.

It has turned interesting.

"It has turned interesting."

As Nobuyuki said,

He and his brother will stand on
different footings in the future.

At this time, however,
Nobuyuki had no clue about that.
