So Hideyoshi indirectly won the battle by the cunning peace treaty? With the treaty, he could do whatever he want to Nobukatsu and Saji Kazunari now? How is that?
-The way Kuroda Kanbei sit in front of Nobukatsu is... different....
Did he have problems with his legs? Or is that just the way one sits in front of an enemy?
-Ieyasu look like he really didn't care with the outcome of the battle^^
-Hatsu's letter was touching I can finally like her!
-Hideyoshi-One's room talk... sounds like Hideyoshi finally realized he likes Gou?
-What did Chacha mean with, whenever she see One's face she become speechless?
- Kazunari banished by Hideyoshi: by this time, Hideyoshi had heavy influence in the imperial court, so I guess he could pretty much do anything that pleased him. Besides, Nobukatsu took the bait with this imperial court position of Major Councilor (Gon-no-Dainagon), which was a pretty high position already, so he'd better comply with Hideyoshi's requests . There was even a possibility that Saru was offered the position of Shogun in 1584 (I imagine after he "politically" won the Battle of Komaki-Nagakute) which he declined.
- Kanbei's leg: lol one would lose his head if he sits like that purposely, wouldn't he?
Around 1578-1579, during the siege of Arioka Castle against Araki Murashige, Kanbei was sent into the castle as a messenger, and was captured and jailed for a year by the enemy. During this time in prison, something developed in a joint on his left leg, and he became crippled.
- Ieyasu not caring about the outcome: I think he knew that he was no match to Hideyoshi in terms of political power and wealth, therefore, at the time it was enough for him to just win strategically on the battlefield, letting Hideyoshi REALLY know that he was not to be taken lightly.
- Hatsu: she finally shows her matured side, still I like her mentioning of eating confectionery together at the end of the letter .
- Saru/O-Ne scene: to me it almost sounds like he wants Gou back with him because he thinks it's boring without her, more so than the fact that he is mad about Kazunari not defecting to him during the battle.
- Chacha speechless: to be honest, while I was translating, I spent a while trying to understand what she means, but I gave up lol. Perhaps she really has nothing to say to O-Ne? Or she has many things to say (ranting about Saru), but can't really open her mounth in front of his wife?
- Hideyoshi's wealth to build Osaka Castle: after Azai Nagamasa was defeated, he was given the territory there, where he built Nagahama Castle. At that time he was already a daimyo of 120,000 koku under Nobunaga (and this was 1573). After Kiyosu Meeting, though he gave up Nagahama's 120k (which he retook soon after as seen in the drama ), he gained 280k from Akechi's former territories. Furthermore, after defeating Shibata, another 490k went under his control. So he was nearing 1 milllion koku, if not over.
**Also, one thing that seemed a bit weird to me: how come Gou didn't recognize the second letter as a fake? For starters, Hideyoshi put Hatsu's name outside in Hiragana (はつ), where Hatsu herself wrote it in Kanji (初). Besides the handwritings would be different too.
