We're not!

The year 1614, December 22...

The peace negotiations

ended the siege of Osaka Castle.

The castle's defensive moat and

perimeter were removed by 1615.

And if war breaks out again, we're through.

We can't win.

Dear, what makes you say that?

If it comes...

I, Hideyori, will commit seppuku.

Please don't worry.

Some kind of letter?

Proof that you people never had a chance.

This is...

If you understand, get out of Osaka fast,

and never come back.

Have a good night.

Intruder!

Hi there, I'm Lord Yukimura's messenger.

Saemonnosuke sent you?

Yes, he sent me with a message.

I said write a note, but he was

afraid someone might see the thing.

Tell me.

What does he say?

Oh my...

How can I convey this?

Simple. Just speak up!

I've loved you for so long,

since my eyes first beheld you.

In the moonlight long ago...

Well, a lot of stuff like that.

Does it matter how he said it?

It's true?

Yes.

At last...

He admits it.

Oh, now you're crying!

That's why I didn't want to speak.

Any messages for Sir Sanada?

I'll take your message.

When you see him, please tell

him I don't deserve his love.

It honors me too much.

Why did you say that?

This is getting complicated!

I can only tell you how I truly feel inside.

That's fine, but can I tell him that?

I'll tell him you were so happy that you cried.

That's true.

I am pleased.

Within 3 months, in May of 1615, Ieyasu raised

another army to challenge Osaka Castle.

The very presence of Osaka's troops and

vassals at the castle was held to be proof enough

that Osaka planned to rebel

against the Tokugawa government.

leyasu swore he'd crush

the defenders in a final battle,

and marched to Osaka with 180,000 troops.

He knows we never planned a rebellion!

Won't Ieyasu negotiate with us again?

Don't!

Ieyasu was a vassal of Toyotomi clan!

How can we dignify these charges?

That's right, it's true!

Let's kill him for betraying us at Sekigahara!

But now that our defenses are down

it's hopeless!

If they attack us now, what can we do?

That's enough!

We have no options.

We must stand up and make our

lord proud of us one more time!

Lady Yodo!

Yes!

Now...

There's only one path ahead of us!

So, on May 6th at Domyoji in Kawachi,

the Toyotomi and the Tokugawa

clans began their final struggle,

The Siege of Osaka Castle, Summer Campaign.

THE SIEGE OF OSAKA CASTLE

SUMMER CAMPAIGN:

Goto Matabei is dead!

Let me through!

CHAUSUYAMA:
SANADA TROUP HEADQUARTERS

Let me through!

CHAUSUYAMA:
SANADA TROUP HEADQUARTERS

Reporting!

Sir Goto Matabei was killed in the battle at Domyoji!

Sasuke...

This war isn't going to end well.

I think all we know that.

Tomorrow is our last battle.

Tonight is our last chance to drink sak together.

I'm going to miss you guys.

What?

Let's try to survive tomorrow,

and drink sak again.

Am I right, boss?

And if we die together, we'll

share sake' in the next world.

You got that right!

But Sir Kamanosuke is calm as usual.

Nothing ever seems to bother him.

Why's that?

Since I was a boy I've faced

the dangers now before us.

This is just another day.

Is that so?

If reincarnation were true, I'd

pray to live in a world without war.

Then I'd have a beautiful

wife and some happy children.

That's the dream of my life.

Putting us on?

You're damn right.

If I were born again,

I'd leave this country go to

China and be a big fat success!

I'd trade with foreigners

and become a rich merchant!

And?

With the money I made...

- Lend us!

I would want to help out our lord.

Hey, you're helping him now!

You guys are too much!

Let's drink up!

Drink!

What are you thinking?

Lord Yukimura's on my mind...

I'd like to help him win again, one last time.

My lord, is Daisuke with you?

He needs to be alone for a while.

Is something wrong?

We talked...

I told him everything.

Wait...

You told him everything?

I had to tell him his father's not the man he seems...

And that Sasuke and Saizo

have planned the Osaka strategy.

What's that?

What's this about?

Forgive me friends for not telling you.

Why do this?

Father...

I don't know why you said such ugly things,

the night before we face our final battle.

I'm ashamed to be the son of this imposter.

Enough of that talk!

- Don't, Sasuke!

But my lord!

- It's not important!

Daisuke...

Everyone, listen to me.

I want to be myself tomorrow...

Be what Sasuke's been pretending I am.

Tomorrow...

Ieyasu will face his real enemy!

Ieyasu's camp will be here.

Matsudaira clan will form

lines there to protect him.

30 minutes later our Mori clan

will strike their lines from the side.

I'm certain Ieyasu's group will be in turmoil.

Our Sanada army will take advantage of the

confusion and hit the Tokugawa camp directly!

The Mori group have already agreed to this.

So, you like my plan?

Great...

Great, Lord Yukimura!

You think so?

It's a rushed strategy,

but we just might win this thing.

I see.

Daisuke...

Be prepared to follow me in.

If I can tie down the troops

protecting leyasu, kill him!

Yes, father.

Ieyasu is our target...

And we must be ready...

Ready to crush him!

Yes!

I'm sorry!

Father, I didn't understand your feelings at all!

Please forgive me!

It's all right, Daisuke.

What's wrong Sasuke?

Why the tears?

I'm just happy.

Damn it!

You really could pull this off!

Idiot.

Sanada's strategy?

He's got something up his sleeve for sure...

But I won't tell you.

What?

Sorry, but I'm starting to like the guy.

Here's your money.

I'm through doing business with you.

Guess I don't get off that easy?

Because we're friends,

I'll wait until you're finished.

Nice of you.

Stop that!

How about that?

One minute!

Zenkuro, take a walk!

Be sure to clean up...

It was the money, that's my weakness.

Did you start the fire near the 8th gate?

I did.

Don't hesitate!

You've got guts.

What's so funny?

Just thinking about lying

my way to the truth again.

Let's suppose Kakei Juzo's deal

with the enemy was a big hoax?

What do you think?

Like it?

Like it?

But he's a traitor!

We should take his head!

All right!

You're our fine brave friend.

Is that right, Juzo?

Well...

Nine has a pleasant ring.

He said it!

What's "pleasant ring?"

The morning of the 7th, the Toyotomi

army assembled 70,000 troops.

On the other side,

the Tokugawa were approaching

Osaka with an army of 160,000.

The time had come for the final battle.

Ieyasu himself is our target!

We have no time for petty skirmishes,

we're marching right down leyasu's throat!

Yes!

Forward!

Go!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Let's go!

Come on!

Forward!

- Onwards!

Attack!

Aim carefully!

Don't miss!

Fire!

Where are you?

Don't worry about us!

Unno!

Forgive me lord!

I have miscalculated my attack.

You'll have to kill the rest!

Thank you for your devoted service!

May your soul rest peacefully!

My lord!

Unno!

UNNO ROKURO DIES

Now, attack!

My lord, Sir Mori's started the flanking strike!
