Tenshoin spends peaceful days outside Edo castle and is delighted by a sudden visit by her mother and brother from Satsuma. She thanks her mother for raising her to follow her instincts. Meanwhile, Tatewaki falls ill and passes away after telling Ochika that he was happy. Saigo, who had returned to Satsuma after leaving the new government because of a political split with Okubo, is moved by Tatewaki's letter heeding the nation's future and decides to rejoin the government. Five years later, the former servants of "Ooku" visit Tenshoin to celebrate the engagement of Iesato who succeeded the Tokugawa family. After hearing the news of Iesato's wife's pregnancy, Tenshoin died peacefully at the age of 49 and her soul was finally put to rest in her homeland, Satsuma.
