It is quite achievable, ne? Here is another hint for all of you still working on mastering the blade:
If you are blocked all the time while slashing: Give your opponent a little break... regularily hits him off balance.

@RPGSwallow
I already tried a fast game (even cheating as daimyo, by reloading the game if random encounters
became too scarce for maxing out the stats before the game is won) but played half
heartedly in murdering my lord hatamoto and waiting for the daimyo to die a "natural" way.

Thanks for your hint! I shall give it both tries:
* Murdering any lord in the way (for winning real fast)
* Playing fast yet samurai-like, upholding the lord's interests.
