9

Masamune and Motochika face off in a drawn battle while Motonari and Motoyasu Akagawa observe the Fugaku being rebuilt and renamed Nichirin in Aki. In Satsuma, Yukimura and Musashi complete unusual training just as Hideyoshi’s forces arrive to confront them, with Motonari’s troops also approaching. Meanwhile, in Osaka, Hideyoshi and Hanbei initiate plans to conquer the east, knowing Motonari deceived them. Kasuga informs Keiji that Toshiie will join Uesugi to defend Echigo, despite being unfit for combat. During these events, Yumekichi vanishes with Keiji’s pendant. As Masamune and Motochika’s armies discuss attacking Wasaka and Yamashiro, a dart bearing a note arrives, which Masamune identifies as being written by Hisahide.
