Nobunaga the Fool - ep22

Now with the death of Ichihime everyone is grieving in their own way. However it seems that her death has hit Nobunaga harder than the death of his father and brother. This in way shakes his resolve because all he now see is that he's brought death and destruction. That in the end he only shows how much he has lost when he is alone, and as he is consumed by his grief Jeanne catches a glimpse of him. This leads to her embracing Nobunaga to give him some support when he needs it the most as he has supported her so many times. Then as she is doing this he see something inside the bowl of emptiness, it actually be that this bowl is truly the holy grail that King Arthur seeks and if so is this the foreshadowing that will bring about Nobunaga's victory. In the end wether it be Jeanne support or what he glimpse inside the bowl Nobunaga has regain his lost spirit and is ready to continue the fight.

Also you have the second person that is truly devastated by the lost of Ichihime, Mitsuhide. It seems that he largely blames Nobunaga for her death, and the news that Nobunaga is the Destroy-King leads him to question whether this is a man he should continue to follow. This is complicated by his vision of himself from our reality where he is leading a charge against Nobunaga, that historically speaking Mitsuhide kills Nobunaga but will thing play out the same for this world Mitsuhide. That in his desire to quell his doubts on whether he should kill Nobunaga or continue to follow him he seeks out Da Vinci. That this leads Da Vinci to speak of why he left the west, was so that he could gain perspective because if you are to close to something it prevent you from seeing things as they are. This leads to further question on King Arthur and if he is truly the Savior-King. However Da Vinci can't answer this because he was never allowed to meet him. Things end with Mitsuhide choosing to see King Arthur himself, but before he goes Mitsuhide pulls one of Da Vinci's card and he gets the devil. The question is who is the Devil himself, Nobunaga, or King Arthur although Mitsuhide believe it represents himself because of his mask. However once Mitsuhide meets King Arthur it doesn't take him long to sway him because King Arthur always tells the person what they most want to hear.
