Hideyoshi agrees to dissolve the Maede and Toyotomi alliance but explains he killed Nene to strengthen the nation, causing a disagreement that leads Keiji to leave. In Satsuma, Yukimura convinces Shimazu to ally against Hideyoshi, and Shimazu reveals Motonari previously manipulated Oda to attack Kyushu. Meanwhile, Keiji finds his monkey Yumekichi ill and encounters Hisahide, who does not recognize him despite Keiji once saving him from a beating. Hideyoshi attacks Honganji monks out of anger over his own weakness. Hisahide meets Hideyoshi, who also fails to recognize him, and Hanbei orders him to stop Masamune’s forces in Owari. There, Masamune enters the territory and is approached by Motochika, who is revealed to be alive.
