Edo Castle

Edo Castle (江戸城) is one of Ieyasu's castles which he'd been granted to by Hideyoshi for supporting the siege of Odawara Castle. It soon became the capital of Japan during the Tokugawa's reign as well as Ieyasu's second home.

Samurai Warriors
Edo Castle makes its main appearances in Samurai Warriors 2 as one of the final stages for the Western Army characters. The players are told to pincer the castle from all four sides and kill Hidetada Tokugawa to claim the castle. They will need to defeat the first wave of reinforcements led by Hanzō and wait for Ieyasu's main force to arrive. Players are then ordered to escort Kagekatsu Uesugi to the main keep where the secret gateways suddenly open. While they are escorting Kagekatsu, Masamune and the Date army appear and Keiji heads towards them. Tadakatsu also offers to charge through, giving players the option to defeat him or go straight to Ieyasu, who is left wide open, with the exception of his guard, Tadayoshi.

It makes another appearance in Mitsunari's and Ginchiyo's dream battles. The players initially take out the northern gate where they are required to rescue Hideie from a rifle ambush. They are required to take out most of the offensive units sent by the Tokugawa. As the Mōri defect to the Tokugawa, reinforcements from the Uesugi, Sanada and Satake arrive to assist the undermanned Western Army. Should the players save Ekei from Toranosuke Aoyama, Kotarō will appear and attempt to kill Hideyori. His defeat as well as that of the Date should make the confrontation against Ieyasu go more smoothly. Yoshihiro has this as his final stage; he defects and takes out both the Western and Eastern armies. After Ieyasu's fall, Ginchiyo arrives as the player's final opponent and must be defeated in order to win the stage.

Musashi's last stage takes place here as a part of the Toyotomi forces; defeat Magoichi to claim the castle. The Uesugi, Date, Kanetsugu, Hidetada and Ina appear as enemy reinforcements. The castle is later set fire and Hideyori needs to escape the flames and will proceed to the northeast. Kotarō appears with his doubles as Musashi's last obstacle for Hideyori to escape.

The Xtreme Legends expansion features this stage as Toshiie's dream stage; he proves himself to Nobunaga and Katsuie by befriending enemy troops outside the castle with Kanetsugu and then besieging the fortress with his new army.

Warriors Orochi
During the Orochi story in the first title, this place was guarded by Ieyasu Tokugawa. When Orochi came to take down Ieyasu after their victory against the Wu forces, they began the battle by starting to take down the four gates. Masamune Date then came to assist Ieyasu by placing reinforcement in each of the gate. Sun Ce, the officer from Wu force, then set a fire attack once all reinforcements are defeated and all gates are opened, but Ieyasu extinguish it. Then Ieyasu summons Ina to attack the main camp while the Orochi Army attack the Castle, but then Ina was defeated, so Ieyasu's plans were extinguish. Without Tadakatsu, the Orochi Army was victorious. Ieyasu and his forces then surrender to Orochi to protect their mans.

It is one of the final stages during Shu's in Warriors Orochi. Players must face a variety of former Shu officers including Zhang Fei and Guan Yu before breaching the keep. Sun Ce also arrives to support the allied assault. Upon entering the final room, the whole castle is set ablaze. The condition then changes from finding Liu Bei to defeating Da Ji who is accompanied by Zhuge Liang.

Kessen
Edo Castle serves as the final battle for the Western forces if they continue winning against Ieyasu. Here, they will obtain the assistance of Kagekatsu, while the Tokugawa get Masamune's forces.
