"Honcho Bugei Shoden" describes another version of the incident at the Sarugaku Performance; according to that, although 'Matasaburo Kanefusa YOSHIOKA' had a fight with the security guards, other members of the Yoshioka present at the site didn't take any steps to help Matasaburo, therefore, Shoshidai (Representative of governor of the board of retainers) Katsusige ITAKURA didn't blame Yoshioka family.
前述の『本朝武芸小伝』にも猿楽興行の異説があり、事件を起こしたのは吉岡又三郎兼房であり、事件の最中吉岡一族の者が多く居たが、騒ぎたてず加勢しなかったため、所司代板倉勝重が吉岡一族を不問にしたとある。
