For those unfamiliar, although Tokugawa Ieyasu won at Sekigahara and made himself shogun in 1600, Hideyoshi's heir was allowed to live until 1615, when he and his followers were finished off in a climactic battle. Sekigahara is possibly the most frequented topic of all the Sengoku Jidai, this battle (or series of battles to be fair) alot less so.
Was it possible for the Toyotomi clan to stage a turnaround in their fortunes this late in the game? Didn't the clan still attract substantial sympathy throughout the country, both for its association with the taiko and dissident elements within the Tokugawa Shogunate? Wasn't this clan able to raise a loyalist force of substantial strength? Didn't this force show itself to be militarily competent, holding the Shogun's forces at bay in 1614 although finally succumbing in 1615? Insofar as the Tokugawa Shogunate was essentially a military dictatorship maintained by brute force, didn't any challenge to its military competency threaten the integrity of their regime as a whole?
