Episode 34: Revolt
Ishida Mitsunari rose up to overthrow Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He plotted to attack the Tokugawa Mansion, but his attempt failed.
Daimyos hostile towards Mitsunari grew by the day.
FUSHIMI - ISHIDA MANSION
How are things at the Castle? FUSHIMI - ISHIDA MANSION
Sir Ukita is working on having your confinement lifted.
Without me, there will be stagnation in management.
It's about time that someone made a move.
I'm relieved to see you are doing well.
It's been years since he spent idle time at the mansion.
I'm at home, but not idle.
Pardon me for that.
What are these documents?
During the chaos, I snuck them out of Fushimi Castle.
While I have time,
I'm compiling records on Odawara and Joseon.
That's just like you.
Regarding my wife...
your past comment has bothered me.
What did I say?
That she will be a problem.
This happened when I visited Otani's mansion in the past.
Please use this.
There was no deep meaning to it.
It was in appreciation for the good treatment I received.
The girl misunderstood.
In other words, she fell in love with me.
Please leave Sir Mitsunari.
We are in love with each other.
It's a misunderstanding.
Give up.
Haru misunderstood.
No!
She'll give you problems.
Indeed.
Well...
Good luck.
Will you be eating?
I'll pass today.
We received delicious crucian carp sushi from Omi. FUSHIMI - SANADA MANSION
I would like you to try it. FUSHIMI - SANADA MANSION
- I'll just eat a little bit. - I'll get it ready then.
I stopped by to see Sir Ishida.
- How is he doing? - He is his usual self.
I am glad to hear that.
February 29
On February 29th, FUSHIMI - TOKUGAWA MANSION
Maeda Toshiie visited Ieyasu's mansion to discuss Mitsunari. FUSHIMI - TOKUGAWA MANSION
As you say,
Ishida is a key man to the Toyotomi clan.
I'll let bygones be bygones.
I'm sorry about this.
FUSHIMI CASTLE - ISHIDA WING
The confinement was lifted, FUSHIMI CASTLE - ISHIDA WING
and Mitsunari returned to administration.
I listed the marriages that Ieyasu arranged, counter to the late Taiko's will.
Please review for any errors.
He's afraid we got too close to Tokugawa,
and plotted to kill Ieyasu.
We are completely exhausted from the Joseon (Korea) expedition.
Why aren't we recognized?
Don't aggravate the situation with Ishida. OSAKA - MAEDA MANSION
It's either, eat or be eaten!
I agree!
Sir Maeda!
Listen carefully.
Keep this confidential.
My end is near.
Please don't say that.
After I die,
work together with Ishida,
to protect the Toyotomi.
That is...
your duty.
Is that clear?
OSAKA CASTLE
I would like to sincerely apologize for the recent chaos. OSAKA CASTLE
Sakichi (Ishida).
Don't misunderstand.
I just want you to get along.
I know all of you from when you were children.
Excuse me.
Saemon-no-Suke.
I'd like a minute with you.
Certainly.
Don't pull me into these foolish fights.
I understand your feelings.
After Hideyori's marriage arrangements are made,
I plan to renounce the world.
I'm starting to clean up around me.
I've decided to dismiss Kiri.
That's the situation.
Per her request,
she'll be working at the Hosokawa mansion.
Return to Ueda for your own good.
I already secured permission to work there.
You're really going to become a Christian?
I won't become one, but please listen to me.
I just need to believe, and my feelings will reach Jesus Christ (Desu).
Sooner or later, something will happen in Osaka or Fushimi.
Disturbing signs of danger is in the air.
it's best to return to Ueda.
Danger? I love it!
Together, let's overcome it!
The flowers of peach trees can be enjoyed with the eyes,
and the fruits can be eaten.
That is truly killing two birds with one stone.
That sounds like you.
Because it grows quickly and bears many fruits,
it's been used to celebrate the maturity of children.
I appreciate that.
Please understand that this recent incident
had the best interest of the Toyotomi at heart.
You promised not to bring it up.
I don't know the details.
Please keep this in mind.
Do not trust Ieyasu.
Ishida!
Pardon my insolence.
Please put this in clear view of the veranda.
I'll do that right now.
Sir Hideyori, this is a peach tree.
Sir Hideyori.
On March 3rd,
Maeda Toshiie passed away.
There was no one to stop the anti-Mitsunari forces now.
No one can stop us now.
Let's kill Ishida.
Yes!
Let's kill him!
Welcome home. FUSHIMI - HOSOKAWA MANSION
- I must prepare for battle. - Right now? FUSHIMI - HOSOKAWA MANSION
We're punishing Ishida.
Kiri.
Isn't your loved one working for Sir Ishida?
Yes, that is correct.
There's some lie to it.
It's one-sided.
Never mind about that.
Sir Ishida's mansion will be attacked.
Who's attacking?
Kato, Fukushima, Hosokawa, Kuroda, Todo, Hachisuka, Asano. (All Toyotomi vassals)
They're the Daimyo that the Taiko raised.
I was afraid of this.
Let's go.
Thanks.
Am I useful?
Sometimes!
What good will it do to kill me now?
That'll only make Ieyasu happy.
Why don't they see that?
Please escape quickly.
I can't let them set fire to this mansion.
The Taiko's records will turn to ashes.
I'll take care of it.
I'll leave it to you.
Sakon. SHIMA SAKON
Call my brother.
I heard about it.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Carry these out?
There's a storehouse.
Please move them there.
Let's get moving.
What's going to happen to the Toyotomi?
I don't know.
They won't last with Toyotomi loyalists always fighting.
They're here.
Brother, this is it.
Brother, it's your turn.
Bring out Ishida.
He's not here.
Bring him here for your own good.
We're not sheltering him.
Sir Kato.
Your fight with Ishida may be personal,
but if you're going to fight the Sanada,
it'd become a battle between provinces.
Is that how you want it?
If that's how you want it,
I'll accept the challenge.
Ichimatsu!
Let's search elsewhere.
Let's go.
It's your turn.
Yes?
You lost.
Matabe!
Coming.
In the Osaka campaign,
he'll earn an equal amount of recognition as Nobushige.
He's Goto Matabe Mototsugu.
But now, he is still a vassal under Kuroda Nagamasa.
They are combing areas where Sir Ishida may be hiding. FUSHIMI - UKITA MANSION
They will come here, too.
Damn them! I'll kill them instead.
I've made my decision.
I'll enter the castle and take shelter in my wing.
- In your wing?? - I doubt they'd attack a castle the Taiko built.
That's a good idea.
We'll escort you to the Castle.
Is Akashi Teruzumi around?
Did you call?
Escort Sir Ishida to the Castle.
Don't let Kato and the others touch him.
This is far enough.
Ishida-sama.... Nanjiro...Don't worry
I'm a man who values his life. I won't kill myself.
Hey.
Saemon-no-Suke!
Sir Kato wants Ishida. NATSUKA MASAIE
Do something.
But I'm just a...
Please!
Why don't you know?!
Just hand Ishida over, and it'll be resolved.
Yes!
What do you plan to do with Sir Ishida?
That's obvious. Make him commit hara-kiri.
For what crime?
Not knowing his place,
he tried to gain control after the Taiko died.
He targeted Lord Ieyasu's life.
He's a felon that threatens national peace!
Yes!
OSAKA CASTLE
You cannot see her.
We need Lady Nei to intervene.
WAKASU: Please understand. She doesn't want to interfere in politics.
She made a firm decision.
No.
If Lord Hideyori orders it,
Sir Kato will back down.
Only Lord Hideyori can save Sir Ishida.
No is no.
Please go back.
Will Ishida be saved if Hideyori orders it?
Most definitely.
Will that benefit Hideyori?
Sir Ishida is a key person to the Toyotomi Clan.
Lord Ieyasu and Ishida are like cat and dog.
Won't Hideyori be caught in the middle?
Will it benefit Hideyori?
Take your leave.
Ishida is in a fix now. FUSHIMI - OTANI MANSION
If Lady Nei and Lady Chacha won't intervene...
There is only one person we can rely on.
What can I do?
Please calm Kato and the others who want Ishida. FUSHIMI - TOKUGAWA MANSION
If you step in, they will surely back down.
But...
everything must be decided by council now.
I can't personally intervene.
I must meet with the Elders and Magistrates first.
What do we do now?
The seven men who caused this commotion...
We could round them up and punish them all.
We could still use Kato and Fukushima.
Let's not rush into things.
Ishida is a sharp man.
So it's a shame to lose him.
How long do we have to wait?!
Regarding the recent punitive action against traitor Ishida...
Thank you truly for your hard work.
It's been settled.
Lord Kato and the others...
have withdrawn.
I'm glad to hear that.
In return, Sir Ishida...
will be under confinement.
Confinement?
He'll be dismissed from administration.
Am I supposed to stay in Sawayama?
Let's abide for now.
We must quell the riot.
Why?
I devoted myself to the Taiko.
After the Taiko died,
I sacrificed everything
for the sake of the Toyotomi to come this far.
Why must I....
be banished from Fushimi?
The Taiko understands.
You've thought about the Toyotomi,
and cared about Sir Hideyori more than anyone.
The Taiko is watching everything.
Will you do me one favor?
I want to see Toranosuke.
Ishida Mitsunari...
you are confined to your home province.
I will humbly abide.
I sympathize with you.
Toranosuke (Kato).
We'll be going.
This is eternal farewell.
Three days after Mitsunari left Fushimi,
Tokugawa Ieyasu moved into Fushimi Castle.
That was Ieyasu's declaration of victory.
Now, Saemon-no-Suke.
The reason why I called you today...
is to ask what you're going to do from now on.
I haven't thought about it.
How about...
working for me?
For you?
Join the Tokugawa and I'll treat you well.
I decline.
I have high regards for you.
I'll promote you to Magistrate down the road.
I decline.
Why?
If I may humbly speak.
Without any regard for himself,
Sir Ishida cared and did his utmost for the Toyotomi clan.
Even Sir Ishida
couldn't work under you.
So how can I?
Do you want to anger me?
Think what you like.
I'll ask you again.
Be my vassal.
I refuse.
Begone.
Excuse me.
I'll be dismissed for that.
That makes me happy.
You can spend time with me.
I'll be working with my brother for the Sanada.
I'll be going back and forth to Ueno.
I would like to take you to Ueno someday.
I'm looking forward to it.
I heard you rejected Lord Tokugawa's offer.
News travels fast.
I've taken a liking to you.
That's Genjiro coming!
Saemon-no-Suke.
This is it.
I would feel bad for Ishida if it wilts.
- I want to raise it. - Why ask me?
Unlike us, you (Genjiro) grew up in the mountains of Shinano.
I thought you would know about these things.
I am sorry to call you over.
I do not know how to grow a peach tree.
Oh! You're of no help!
I've seen how farmers plant the seedlings.
Now, from what the farmers said...
the roots will rot where there is too much water.
Why don't you move it to a place with better drainage?
Let's do it.
Very well. We'll do it.
(Chacha) Honesty, I did not care much for him.
I'm talking about Ishida.
I couldn't figure him out.
Once you get to know him,
he's very transparent.
Katagiri-sama, you'll break it!
(Hideyori) Fufufu ... Hahahaha Ahahahaha!
Katsumoto, Hideyori is laughing at you.
(laughter)
Oh!... That was nothing! (laughter)
A year had passed.
Ieyasu moved into Osaka Castle where Hideyori resides. MAY 1600
He was practically ruling the country. MAY 1600
It started in Aizu with signs of revolt shown by Uesugi Kagekatsu.
Kagekatsu ignored Ieyasu's order to pay homage.
Naoe Kanetsugu (Uesugi's councilor) sent a critical letter to Ieyasu.
Regarding the matter of stocking war supplies... AIZU CASTLE
just as Kamigata samurai collect items related to tea, AIZU CASTLE
we rustic samurai collect teppu (muskets), bows and arrows.
What a small-minded man we have in charge of the country.
We already told you that we have no treacherous intent.
In spite of that you tell us to pay homage.
How infantile. You are being truly unreasonable.
We'll pay homage when you have matured.
Unlike someone we know who defies the Taiko's will,
we won't break our pledge or neglect Lord Hideyori.
Taking rule in that manner only makes one a villain.
You'll go down in history as a disgrace.
He can't be forgiven.
Damn Uesugi Kagekatsu!
Will we be going to battle?
After all that's happened,
who would have thought we'd have to battle the Uesugi?
I received a secret letter from the Uesugi.
They plan to confront and defeat Ieyasu.
Lord Uesugi is rising.
The Uesugi want my support.
To combine our efforts and defeat the Tokugawa.
Of all things.
I'm thinking of doing so.
When the battle starts,
we'll attack Tokugawa's main camp from the flank.
The Tokugawa will be helpless.
What comes after defeating the Tokugawa?
There will be disorder again.
We'll seize the chance to regain Kai, Shinano and Suruga.
The fiefs that Lord Shingen had governed.
At the Odawara camp, I told Hojo Ujimasa,
if you're resolved to die, then die.
But if you live, you can see pleasant things.
This is truly my last chance.
Will you let me have my way?
Please.
I'm begging you.
I will follow you.
Genjiro...
Ieyasu has turned into a villain who tramples the Taiko's will.
He cannot be forgiven.
Well said.
What about you?
I...
am your eldest son.
Of course I will follow you.
Genzaburo...
We brothers, will follow you all the way.
I have good sons.
Father can't live without battles after all.
From what I saw earlier,
I recalled competing with the Hojo, Uesugi and Tokugawa.
Same here.
Are you sure?
I'll end up fighting against my Father-in-Law.
but that can't be helped.
It will hurt Ina, too.
Genjiro, with the Tokugawa out of the picture,
will we be reverting to a warring era as Father says?
Lord Uesugi has no intent of replacing the Toyotomi as ruler.
What will happen then?
It will work itself out.
Will Sir Ishida return?
I don't know.
Even without him, this country will change
Sir Ukita is still young, but will become a fine Daimyo.
There's also Sir Otani Gyobu.
And Lord Hideyori...
is still a child, but very smart.
When he matures, he may surpass the Taiko as ruler.
You are very observant.
As badly as I feel for Father,
I doubt there'll be the chaos he's hoping for.
Why do you deceive Father?
For the Uesugi to be victorious,
they need Father's help.
You're quite a strategist.
Well, I am Sanada Masayuki's son.
I heard the date has been set for the Uesugi campaign.
To the various Daimyo,
I'll issue an order under Lord Hideyori's name.
This is a dispute between the Tokugawa and the Uesugi.
Please refrain from using Lord Hideyori's name.
I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, am the Chief Elder.
By mocking the Tokugawa, he is mocking the Toyotomi.
Isn't it a battle between the Toyotomi and the Uesugi?
But...!
The Taiko thought well of Lord Uesugi.
He is an Elder that Lord Hideyori relies on heavily.
The Toyotomi clan have no reason to punish the Uesugi.
Please do not use Lord Hideyori's name on this.
That must have taken a lot of courage from him.
Unfortunate for Katagiri,
it must be a battle between the Toyotomi and the Uesugi.
The battle holds a completely different weight.
We will be heading out to punish the Uesugi.
May you be victorious.
I have a request.
You cannot use Lord Hideyori's name.
Sir Katagiri must have told you so.
Yes, I know that.
If I may ask...
for some military funds,
it would raise the morale.
How much?
20,000-ryo in military funds, (~20,000 koku equivalent in gold)
and 20,000-koku in rice provisions.
Arrange it at once.
Very well.
Please rush it.
Also, for this battle...
I'd like to borrow soldiers from Lord Hideyori,
to punish the Uesugi.
Also allowing me to use the Toyotomi banner,
would raise morale even further.
Suit yourself.
Thank you.
On June 16th,
Ieyasu hoisted the Toyotomi banner,
and headed for Aizu.
Meanwhile, in Osaka...
Lord Ieyasu's entire army left the Castle (Osaka).
There's no end to Ieyasu's tyranny.
He defies the Taiko's will.
He cannot be forgiven.
The time has come to impeach Ieyasu!
Yes!
Is this what you wanted, Ishida?
We wait for Lord Mouri to arrive and take the lead.
There's no turning back.
Please leave everything to me.
One of the most unprecedented and decisive wars
in the history of Japan had started.
END OF EPISODE 34
It'll be a decisive battle.
What will Father do then?
Take Ieyasu's head first.
We'll retrieve Lord Shingen's fiefs of Kai and Shinano.
Father, forget about your dream!
I've made my decision!
The Sanada are always united!
Aichi Prefecture Ama, Aichi
