The Sanadas are on their way to join the Tokugawa-led campaign against Uesugi when they receive news that Mitsunari [Koji Yamamoto] and Yoshitsugu [Ainosuke Kataoka] have raised an army in Osaka to topple Ieyasu [Seiyo Uchino]. At Inubushi in Shimotsuke Province, Nobushige [Masato Sakai], Nobuyuki [Yo Oizumi] and Masayuki [Masao Kusakari] engage in a heated debate over which side they should join. What decision do the three men make? Meanwhile, Kiri [Masami Nagasawa] goes to rescue Tama [Manami Hashimoto], who is being held hostage by Mitsunari.
