“A less direct form of assistance”... Those hanafuda cards gave off identical readings to the Ooku. Like they made up part of the Ooku.
[k]

＠Sion
And this Ooku is made from the[sr]energy of human bodies and souls.
[k]

[charaFace C 5]

＠Sion
In which case...it would not be at all surprising if those hanafuda cards were made from someone's body.

I, Matsudaira Izu-no-Kami Nobutsuna...am the man who utterly robbed the Tokugawa family of their reputation and significance.

My actions to date should prove as much. In order to protect the Tokugawa, I completely betrayed their trust in me...

So these hanafuda cards are made up of the same energy used to construct Ooku, and they are part of your body.

＠Sion
And now, they have taken on a whole new meaning.
[k]

＠Sion
Shogun Yoshinobu's pillbox contains outward-facing power, but these cards contain inward-facing power.
[k]

[charaFace C 12]

Which means...they can be used to neutralize[sr][%1]'s Tokugawafication!
