Tokuma Nishioka, who played the role of Hiromatsu Toda, a loyal retainer who supported Toranaga Yoshii for many years when he was in a difficult situation and conveyed his intention to surrender to Osaka, looks back with deep emotion at the scene in episode 8, which became a hot topic as a “legendary”. He said, “I participated in this work to do this scene, and Sanada thought the same way,” and it was a scene that both of them had been waiting for. “When we met in the morning, Mr. Tokuma, that scene has finally arrived,” Sanada said to him, and the dialogue, which took all day to shoot, had the audience transfixed. It is said that when Sanada and Nishioka finished their performance with Aun’s breath, everyone in the room burst into tears.
