Hayato Kakurai, a timid low-ranking Owari samurai on the government side, enters the castle to inspect it as an advance detachment to ensure that the handover of the castle goes smoothly. However, there was only one bannerman who would not budge even by a lever. His name was Matoya Rokubei. He was a guard of the Goshoin-ban, the Shogun's direct guard. Rokubei remained seated silently, moving only when he had to do his business. Kakurai, who is trying to find out the reason for Rokubei's absence, learns that Rokubei is not the real Rokubei, but an impostor pretending to be Rokubei. Kakurai and the others are increasingly confused. However, as they spend some time together, Kakurai begins to feel an unknowable sympathy for Rokubei, who stands there with an old-fashioned dignity. Contains 6 episodes.
