This is the beginning of what is now known as the Winter Siege of Osaka. The Tokugawa army tries to assert its numerical advantage, but Osaka Castle and the Sanada Maru fortification stand firm against them. Yukimura Sanda, Keiji Maeda, Kiyomasa Kato, and Masanori Fukushima fight hard as part of the Toyotomi clan's forces, refusing to give an inch to their enemies. With winter upon them, a cold wave saps both armies of their energy. That's when Yukimura has to face off with Kanetsugu Naoe, who he had shared a vow of righteousness with, as an enemy. Meanwhile, as Osaka Castle continues to get bombarded by artillery fire, Nobuyuki Sanada charges in alone in a bid to negotiate a truce.
And to the west, the outer moat, and its many 
bridges, was the site of intense fighting
ومن جهةِ الغرب، عند الخندق المائي وجسوره الكثيرة، كانَتْ تندلع معركة شرِسة
Und im Westen war der Außengraben und seine
vielen Brücken der Schauplatz harter Kämpfe
En el lado Oeste del castillo, donde había
 varios puentes colgados sobre el foso,
En el lado Oeste del castillo, donde había
 varios puentes para atravesar el foso,
Masamune et son armée
affrontaient Kiyomasa et Masanori,
Ad ovest, il fossato esterno ed i suoi molteplici
 ponti furono il terreno dell'epico scontro
E ao oeste, o fosso externo 
era cenário da luta intensa
