English: The reason why Chacha banished Katsumoto KATAGIRI and Urakusai ODA who struggled to avoid a war as they knew the fight against Tokugawa meant the fall of the Toyotomi family, and furthermore refused the reconciliation scheme proposed by the Tokugawa side, has been attributed to her pride and obstinacy, but nowadays, we see such an explanation that although Yodo-dono accepted to become a hostage, the supreme commander Hideyori hated and denied the offer.

English: While Hideyoshi gained the territories of Kawachi Province, Tanba Province and Yamashiro Province when Nobunaga's property inheritance was allocated, Katsuie only received three counties in Kitaomi and Nagahama-jo Castle (Omi Province) (present Nagahama City), which reversed the positions of Katsuie and Hideyoshi (Kiyosu Conference).

Japanese: 一流と呼べる実績を残した勝家ではあるが、同僚時代の羽柴秀吉や配下である佐久間盛政に軍事命令を無視され独断行動をされたり、従属大名的な存在であった前田利家の秀吉方への寝返りを容認するなど、人の使い方において少し脇が甘い部分もあった。

Japanese: 長光寺城に籠城中、水瓶を割って、「貴様ら、乾いて死ぬよりも討死にするが武士の誉れぞ今飲んだ水が末期の水と知れい！」と叱咤激励し、背水の陣で抗戦に臨んだことから瓶割り柴田と呼ばれるようになったと言われている（これは後世の創作だと思われる）。
