Aired on July 6, 2016

The Japanese term "Date" signifies stylishness, a trait embodied by Date Masamune, the gentleman general of the Oshu domain during the Sengoku period. This narrative explores whether his refined fashion sense and elegant demeanor can serve as sufficient protection against the brutal, century-long factional wars that defined the era. The story questions if personal style alone can ensure survival amidst the intense political and military conflicts of the time, highlighting the contrast between Masamune's sophisticated persona and the harsh realities of the historical period.
