Nobunaga the Fool - ep13

This episode is mostly a prelude of things to come, the most immediate issue is how Ichihime acceptance of Caesar's proposal has cause friction within Nobunaga's camp. This drives Mitsuhide mad that Nobunaga did nothing to stop it, but in way he is also at fault because he could never find it in himself to express his true feeling for her. This results in his misplace anger being direct toward Nobunaga when he is angry with himself for no acting when he could. However this marriage is not something that Ichihime desires, being force to marry the man that kill her father. Although she is only doing out of the desire to fulfill her duty and protect her people. Although this also put her in a position to kill Caesar when he betrays Nobunaga, because it seem not so much a question of if but when.

This leads into the second point that is developing the downfall of the western star. That next part is going to focus on the clash between east and west. That with Caesar action and the cracking of the western star, the round table see this as a sign that Caesar betrayed them. This result in their need to capture the eastern star to use to stabilize their star. While this situation is dire for both side, the destabilizing of the western star will in time lead to the collapse of the eastern star as well. The rest of the series is going to become increasingly interesting as it diverse more from the historical retelling. This grown war is going to be interesting when more western historical figure get involved since it seem that all of the western figure are from different period in history. That they were never alive at the same time to began with. That it will be interesting to see who come out on top, Nobunaga or King Arther.
