I agree with you Nina. BTW nobody said that Azumi/Azumi2 are serious reference historical sources, this is just in the mind of the spies "madeinhome".
I prefer Aya Ueto in this kind of fun films than any "mindless stupid" films about spiooonage! hehehe.
I love her too.
Bes regards,

This sort of thing happens when people unquestioningly use films as
"sources" without any investigation.
Very few, if any films, are meant to be depictions of factual history. Had
this poster actually investigated the situation with Sanada Yukimura, he
would have found out that the portrayal of his encounter with Sarutobi
Sasuke in "Azumi" and "Azumi 2" was fictional -- because Sarutobi Sasuke is
fictional.
What films can be, however, are "stepping off" points to investigate actual
history.
By the way, the Azumi films were pure fictional fantasy. And I loved them.

Sarutobi Sasuke is a FICTIONAL character. One who commonly appears in
various fictional works, but fictional nonetheless.
And Azumi/Azumi 2 are possibly 2 of the worst movies ever. Mindless stupid
fun, yes. Anything resembling anything near historical accuracy? No.
