Of naturally it ’s fabrication . It is dissimilar . But as a whole , you had Mitsunari , our Ishido , could get a coalition together of warlord , peculiarly the member of the Council of Regents . He did that by a lot of plotting and deception . So the unity of the coalition was not very great . It really get to crumple as shortly as hostilities begin . So it really resembles what we did on the show .
And Yodo no Kata also , she– eventually she did n’t side with Mitsunari . The varsity letter of Ochiba no Kata does exist . So real biography Yodo no Kata also sent a letter to Ieyasu that Mitsunari was plotting .
Why Ochiba No Kata’s Letter Was So Important To Toranaga

Toranaga ’s laying claim was that , once Mariko appeared in Osaka and played out her purpose , mother of the Heir Ochiba would see the dishonor of continuing to support Ishido , and take out her authorization . Without the Heir behind Ishido ’s army , his war against Toranaga became unlawful , guaranteeing that the other lords would also refuse to fight , thereby take away Ishido ’s advantage .
