Ep. 5: Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide argue over rear guard duty in a losing war
Aired on February 12, 2017

Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide engage in a heated argument regarding who should assume the role of rear guard during a conflict that is already being lost. Hideyoshi demonstrates such intense eagerness to take on this dangerous position that his actions inadvertently lead him to the rear of the enemy forces as well. This unexpected outcome arises directly from his strong desire to serve in the rear guard capacity, resulting in a chaotic situation where he ends up behind enemy lines rather than simply covering the retreat of his own side.
