Takeda Castle

Takeda Castle (竹田城) was a castle situated in Takeda in Tamba, Japan. Its ruins have been protected as a National Historic Site since 1943.

History

In 1582, the Kakushiba ikki member and samurai Yasuke entered the castle grounds and heard Portuguese Master Templar Nuno Caro talking to his men about Hosokawa Tama's betrayal. Then, he turned to find Yasuke, who exclaimed that he will pay for what he had done to him, much to Caro's surprise. When Yasuke revealed that he was once his slave and how Caro killed his mother, Caro responded that her death was necessary to teach a lesson but Yasuke did not learn. Fed up, Caro ordered his men to kill "Diogo" while he moved towards the tenshu.

However, Yasuke defeated his soldiers and samurai in his way and soon faced Caro inside the tenshu. Fighting against Caro, Yasuke bested him and kicked him towards the ledge outside. Although Caro begged for mercy, Yasuke tossed him over the ledge, leaving Caro bleeding and nearly dead. While Caro tried to crawl away, Yasuke came to finish the job. While Caro told him that his path will not bring his mother back, Yasuke clarified that Caro's death will serve as a declaration of war against the Templars. While Caro rebuffed his statement, Yasuke readied his katana to kill Caro. Just as the moment Caro took out his pistol, Yasuke struck the fatal blow to Caro and recovered the amulet Masakado's Vengeance.

At some point, Yasuke and infiltrated into the castle together, eliminated five of its samurai daisho, looted the Hidden Servant Hat from its treasure chest, and climbed to the top of its tenshu to oversee the land.
