This was very severe punishment: Yoshiyasu YANAGISAWA and Akifusa MANABE, who, like Okitsugu, had been promoted from a low rank official to a shogunate chamberlain (sobayonin), were only resigned without punishment and were allowed to keep their fiefs.
同じく軽輩から側用人として権力をのぼりつめた柳沢吉保や間部詮房が、辞任のみで処罰は無く家禄も維持し続けたことに比べると最も苛烈な末路となった。
