It seem that the
current ruler of Owari, Nobunaga's father is not so willing to accept
his eldest son's decision to accept his decision of taking in these
foreigners. That in the end Nobunaga sees it as pointless to argue
with his father, that he is going to do what ever he wants. However
he tries to argue his case by sending Mitsu, but it turns out to be
fruitless attempt. It seems that they only thing that will change his
mind is results, because the Lord of Owari believe them to be spies
sent from Takada. Although it doesn't take long for an opportunity to
a raise for them to prove their worth, with Takada once again
attacking.
Unfortunately
Nobunaga's Giant War Armor isn't ready so he has to go out with out
it. However this doesn't mean that he isn't prepared to deal with the
enemy's armors. That the armors can be stopped by send an arrow in
between the slots on the armor to kill the pilot directly rather than
trying to destroy the armor itself. Then when Nobunaga is running low
on arrows does Jeanne or rather Ranmaru show up with more arrows for
Nobunaga because he didn't think ahead enough. Although it is not
long after this that Hideyoshi arrives with Nobunaga's armor.
Now inside his
armor it doesn't take long for Nobunaga to start tearing into his
enemy. However his assault is stop by the arrival of Takada Shingen
the enemy general wanting a one on one match with Nobunaga. That it
is in this fight that we see the short coming of “The Fool”
because it doesn't have a device called a Shinki and this device
supposedly allows the armor to use magic. Since his enemy is able to
manipulate fire and wind at will. Although he can't control it once
it set something a blaze, which puts Ranmaru in danger when she goes
out to save some children from the fire that is burning around their
home.
That in end she
freezes up because it reminds her of the vision she has had of being
burnt alive. However she is saved by Nobunaga after he has retreated
for his battle. Although it seems that he didn't just save her out of
heartfelt compassion but he want to by some time because to him the
current weather seems unnatural. That he was right because the storm
was cause by Himiko no Yamatai, and she wanted to show off her Shinki
to Nobunaga so that he would agree to her terms. In reality Nobunaga
doesn't have a choice because without it Shingen will kill him.
Nobunaga doesn't give it much thought and the way she worded seems
like all she wanted was ally herself with Owari so it wouldn't be his
problem by his fathers. It isn't until all is said and done that he
realize what Himiko meant by bond, that she phrased it that why so he
wouldn't realize that term was their betrothal. Now that he said it
he can't really go back on his word. It clear now with his ability to
use lighting that he will win or at least force Shingen to retreat.
The question is how will this complicate Nobunaga's life.
