He created unity across Japan, but his death led to chaos. His son, Hideyori is supposed to succeed the throne but the Tokugawa clan believes that he can't. The conflict between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa clan arises, also between the two brothers in the Sanada clan, Yukimura who sided in the Toyotomi clan and Nobuyuki Sanada who joined Tokugawa. A fateful battle awaits the two.
