Inspired by
Sanada Yukimura · 1567–1615
At the siege of Osaka in 1615, Yukimura's side was outnumbered and losing. Instead of pulling back, he led a charge straight at the enemy commander's headquarters, breaking through line after line until he came within reach of Tokugawa Ieyasu himself. He fell that day, but even his enemies called him the finest warrior in Japan.
