According to Father Fróis, the shōgun's squire, Odachidono, "fought so valiantly and with such intrepid spirit that all the rebels started to shout out that he should not be killed, but that he should be taken alive.
Menurut Pastor Fróis, pengawal shōgun, Odachidono, "bertempur dengan gagah berani dan dengan semangat pemberani sehingga semua pemberontak mulai berteriak bahwa dia tidak boleh dibunuh, tetapi bahwa dia harus hidup.
