After receiving an apology for the late arrival, the shogun's advisor Muro acknowledged Jinbei as Edo's future, much to Genjuurou's friendly dismay with a proud look on his face.
The group then splits into two. One that consists of Jinbei and Genjuurou, which will arrive in the Northwest, while the rest will go to the main castle located in the center. In the fight for Northwest between Sanada and Jinbei, Jinbei was given his mother's inheritance by Genjuurou, which situation was deemed by Sanada to be too dangerous to be left alone.
