Nobu really has thought all of this through! His plan is admirable, but Toyohisa isn't necessarily a "stick to the plan" guy!

Toyohisa's not kidding about Satsuma warriors only charging forward. Almost 250 years after his death at Sekigahara. The Samurai of his home province were instrumental in overthrowing the Bakufu (the Japanese military government) and returning the Emperor to power for the first time in 700 years. That was 1868, then when that same Emperor abolished the Samurai as a class. The holdouts against those reforms congregated in Satsuma. They were lead by a man named Saigo Takamori, who'd once been a minister in the Imperial government. He was the kind of guy that rather than retiring actually proposed going to Korea on a diplomatic mission. Acting like a jerk and eventually provoking his own murder at the hands of the Koreans. In order to give Japan a reason to realize it's long-held dream of conquering Korea. Instead he was urged to retire, in Satsuma. Where eventually he led a rebellion there against the Imperial government. 25,000 Samurai mostly armed with weapons more befitting Toyohisa's native Sengoku period. Than a Japan that had adopted Victorian era military tactics and equipment. They fought against an Imperial army of 224,000, and suffered 84% casualties. Saigo Takamori led a final charge of 500 against 30,000. Not unlike the final stand that Toyohisa himself made at the beginning of the Anime.
