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.
We're ready to go to war, in order 
to protect the Uesugi clan!
نحنُ ذاهبون لخوضِ حرب كي نحميَ عشيرة الأوئيسوغي
Wir sind bereit, in den Krieg zu ziehen,
um die Uesugi zu beschützen!
Pour protéger les Uesugi,
je suis prêt à me battre !
Siamo pronti a dichiarare guerra
per proteggere il casato Uesugi!
E estamos prontos para guerrear 
a fim de proteger nosso clã!
