Did, did he just grow even bigger?

I love that Hideyori is portrayed as this wierdly inconspicuous giant of a man. It's so out of left field yet so amicably gallant. Highly amusing!

It's supposed to be a depiction of three things: Tokugawa's growing anxiety of the 'big' threat of Toyotomi, the fact that Hideyori would make a great shogun and leader of Japan plus the fact that he's just physically impressive and a gentle giant which means everyone would accept him and that would threaten Tokugawa's influence. He's a great guy who was meant to be Shogun but as history depicts, he was usurped by the older and more cunning Ieyasu.

I think it's just supposed to be a depiction of the fact that, according to some Edo era anectods, he was almost 2 meters tall in an era in which the average height for men was 160cm.
