Nobunaga the Fool - ep07

Now it come down to the time that Nobunaga that learns about what happen Nobukatsu while he was out. This ends up strike Nobunaga particular hard with the recent death of his father, and new his younger brother is dead. While Himiko sacrifice her self to save him, but as it stands now it is unclear if she will pass away as well or if she will share the same fate as the rest of his family. Although it is interesting because of the insistence that these assassination were done by an outside party and not done by someone with a political agenda in controlling which of the two brother would take the throne. Which is what really happened.

Then throughout the discussion it seems that the Takada Shingen is the most likely suspect since he was indirectly responsible for the death of Nobuhide. Then with this determined Nobunaga goes out personally to greet Takada to question him on the two assassination. However from Takada response it seems that Nobunaga never believe that he was behind it in the first place because of his straight forward personality. That he wish to crush Owari directly and not from the shadow because he see no honor in stabbing an enemy in the back. Although there was a point for Nobunaga to come here so that the two of them could have a dual with one another with out anyone interfering.

This battle allow for the conflict between Shingen and Nobunaga to reach a conclusion with Nobunaga finally defeating him, and receiving the Shingen's Shinki. However Caesar complicate things by stabbing Shingen in the back while he is in the processes of passing them over to Nobunaga. Which results in him only receiving the fire shinki while Caesar imp makes off with the wind. It is also made worse with Caesar by him passing off his dishonorable action on to Nobunaga, which will allow him to take possession of Shingen's army as his own. Which is probably is initial intention from the beginning. This will make things worse for Owari because it doesn't matter what the truth is, it only matters what the people believe. In the end this might unit the rival faction to destroy Owari and it dishonorable new ruler as they perceive it.
