As the Tokugawa clan's messenger, Nobuyuki heads to Aizu to inform the Uesugi clan of their punishment following the battle of Sekigahara. He meets Kanetsugu Naoe, who refuses to accept the severe, and almost cruel, demands, but Nobuyuki refuses to budge too. On the other hand, while Yukimura escaped the death penalty, he was leading an empty life, without being able to find the "meaning of his life" that Nobuyuki had asked him to reconsider. But one night, things start to get noisy in his vicinity.
If something were to happen, 
Lord Tokugawa would skin us alive.
إذا حدثَ أي شيء فقد يجلدنا الزعيم توكوغاوا أحياء
Wenn etwas passieren würde, würden die
Tokugawa uns bei lebendigem Leibe häuten.
¡Tokugawa-sama nos castigaría 
severamente si pasara algo malo!
Basta con un pequeño error para ser 
castigados severamente por el señor Tokugawa.
S’il arrive quelque chose,
Se dovesse accadere qualcosa, 
i Tokugawa ci scuoierebbero vivi.
Se algo acontecer, o mestre Tokugawa 
será rígido na punição!
