I also write on my predictions of what each episode is about, based on the novel I've read. Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled^^

Spoiler — click to reveal

‘æ22˜b@•ƒ•ê‚̏ёœ
Episode 22 "Father and Mother's Portrait" O.A June 12
Hidetada (Mukai Osamu) will appear for the first time in this episode, but I believe he will only appear a few minutes, just for an introduction to his character. Not sure what will the episode mainly be about. Probably Gou will reminisce her parents?

‘æ23˜b@lŽ¿G’‰
Episode 23 "Hidetada the Hostage" O.A June 19
I believe this episode will focus on Hidetada, about his hardships as Tokugawa Ieyasu's son. And how he has bad relationship with his father. Also will be the episode where Gou met Hidetada for the first time. This episode will also include the Siege of Odawara (1590) plot.

‘æ24˜b@—˜‹xØ• 
Episode 24 "Rikyu's Harakiri" O.A June 26
Hiks.... Sen-no-Rikyu(Soeki)'s death :puppydog:

‘æ25˜b@ˆ¤‚Ì—’
Episode 25 "Storm of Love" O.A July 3
Storm of love? :hehe: Gou-Hidekatsu's love story?^^ I guess, AKIRA will be the male lead in this episode.

‘æ26˜b@•ê‚ɂȂ鎞
Episode 26 "Becoming a Mother" O.A July 10
Gou is pregnant with Sadako, Hidekatsu's daughter^^
I believe Sadako was born after Hidekatsu was already sent off to war in Korea.

‘æ27˜b@GŸ‚̈⌾
Episode 27 "Hidekatsu's Last Will" O.A July 17
Hidekatsu's death.

‘æ28˜b@G’‰‚ɉł°
Episode 28 "You'll Marry Hidetada!" O.A July 24
The arrangement and preparation of Gou and Hidetada's marriage, finally! :woot:
Of course, including Gou's strong protest, regarding the marriage arrangement, to Hideyoshi. Also, Gou's deepest sorrow of having to leave his first daughter, Sadako, behind, in Chacha's care. I'm guessing the episode will end with the wedding ceremony and, perhaps, Gou-Hidetada's first bedroom conversation, which ended quite startling for Gou^^

‘æ29˜b@Åˆ«‚Ì•v
Episode 29 "The Worst Husband" O.A July 31
The episode that will totally focus on Gou and Hidetada's relationship!!! Ahh... can't wait!*v*
Gou would get upset to see how apathetic he is and thinking the marriage really isn't working. I believe this episode will be full of Gou-Hidetada's bickerings and trivial arguments, lol. Guessing the episode ends with the great Osaka earthquake where Hidetada went all the way back to the castle to save Gou's life.

‘æ30˜b@ˆ¤‚µ‚«l‚æ
Episode 30 "The Dearest Person" O.A August 7
Still focusing on Gou-Hidetada's romance, I believe!^o^ So happy it gets 2 episodes, heehee...
The episode where Gou started to see Hidetada in a different light and starting to love him. Most probably, the birth of their first baby, Sen-hime, is also in this episode.

‘æ31˜b@G‹gŽ€‚·
Episode 31 "Hideyoshi's Death" O.A August 14
The title pretty much says everything. Perhaps, the story will focus a bit more on Chacha^^

‘æ32˜b@]ŒË‚Ì‹S
Episode 32 "The Demon of Edo" O.A August 21
Most probably an episode where Ieyasu starts to show his evil side^^

‘æ33˜b@“¿ì‚̉Å
Episode 33 "Tokugawa's Daughter-in-Law" O.A August 28
I'm guessing this episode will have the touching conversation between Gou and Hidetada before Hidetada went off to Sekigahara battle, about their real feelings for each other, and how Gou wants Hidetada to see her as "a Tokugawa woman / a part of the Tokugawa family" and not as "Oda Nobunaga's niece".

‘æ34˜b@ƒKƒ‰ƒVƒƒŽ€‚·
Episode 34 "Gracia's Death" O.A September 4
The death of Hosokawa Gracia(Tama), Akechi Mitsuhide's daughter. This was right before the Sekigahara battle. Guessing this episode will focus on the events that lead to the Sekigahara battle.


Predicting that Hidetada won't appear much in Ep24-27, or probably won't appear at all in those eps, as the focus would be mainly on Hidekatsu AKIRA.

Episode 31/32, is where, the story of "AOI-Tokugawa Sandai" starts. Maybe I should watch it simultaneously with "AOI" :mrgreen: The timespan of GOU's Ep31-47 (16 eps) would be the same as AOI's Ep1-43 (43 eps), imagine how those stories/plots will be cut short in GOU... aww :puppydog:

7th-key, is your book sent yet? Mine's not yet :shakehead: I pre-ordered from HMV.

aaawwwwww, sugoooiiiii .... i like to read these spoiler... :applaud: :applaud:

I'd have to agree... I knew of them, but hadn't seen any of their work.

^ Have you seen News no Onna? Suzuki-san is brilliant in that one. :victory:

7th-key wrote:^ Have you seen News no Onna?

Nope.

Guess I should.

"Time for the Sisters to Face Each Other"
So Hatsu will be back with them next week?? XD And from the preview seem like she's on Chacha's side? Or not?

Seem like Gou really can't forgive Chacha for becoming Hideyoshi's concubine, ne^^

Aw... I'll be alot happier if this is a picture of Suzuki-san and Tokito Saburo :mrgreen:

You should watch "Tokyo Love Story"!!! The legendary 90s Jdrama... with Oda Yuji and Eguchi Yousuke. Suzuki-san's role "Rika Akana" left such a deep impression for me^^


Btw, are the pics of Suzuki, Etsushi, Miyazawa and Asami-chan in modern clothes, from the 2nd guidebook? I still haven't receive notice that the book is sent at all :shamefulcry:
