Hideyoshi appeared and reduces the area's sea with his fits, allowing the Fugaku to be unmovable on dry surface, however Motochika ordered his forces to fire the cannon at him, only for Hideyoshi to block the cannonball with his bare hands. A large number of Toyotomi and Mori's forces have surrounded the Fugaku but Motochika had gotten it moving on land and head towards Hideyoishi, however Hideyoshi had stopped it and confront Motochika.
