You're right, I forgot power-hungry, but the one certain thing is he was a scumbag^^

It takes at the very least 4 different playthroughs to get all the CGs, because of the 3 alternate routes ( Kenshin, Ran, Yamatoto ). However, one can cheese it a bit by saving at a turn where one can easily access all 4 of them, as they split off almost all at the same spot. The trick is to have Kenshin and Ai and done a few of their events until you unlock their route in their province, having captured and done Ran's early events but not saving Souun right away, and having obtained Isoroku and done her events.

Then you just reload from that save point everytime you finish a playthrough, thus you don't have to do the start of the game everytime. Though at least one of them will be dedicated to obtaining all the Mouri Motonari CGs ( which is actually quite hard ) and you need to farm a lot of levels and grinding to get the CG of that one secret dungeon (it's not worth it). Also you need to at least face Orochi, but you don't need to win to get his CG.

Finally, there's one slightly tricky CG which requires having a lot of cavalry, so one must either make sure to capture some from the Takeshi and then boost their recruits like a maniac, or preferably having obtained the Takeshi family bonus. ( however that one is even harder than Mouri house bonus CGs )

SO IT TAKES A WHILE, is what I'm saying xD
