Draw them closer!
Fire!
Yoshitatsu.
War isn't a simple matter of overwhelming the enemy.
Inaba-dono has betrayed us!
What?
Ujiie-dono and Andou-dono have defected as well!
The Mino Three have all betrayed us?
You've brought this on yourself, Father!
I won't allow you to turn Mino over to that fool of a princess!
Kill Saitou Dousan!

Episode Three
The Mino Disturbance
Saitou Yoshitatsu rebelled?
The nobles... of Mino... are all... siding with him.
No...
They want... Saitou Yoshitatsu... to be... the next ruler.
Stop pausing in your sentences!
You know that ain't happening.
Dousan-dono has left Inabayama Castle,
and is engaging an army almost ten times the size of his at the Nagara river.
The fighting is fierce and-
Told you.
That's insanity.
Challenging them in the open with a much smaller force...
Dousan-sama intends to die there.
If he forces them to siege his castle, our princess will send reinforcements.
That would mean that Imagawa Yoshimoto...
...would be certain to attack the now empty Owari Province.
He wants to die before Nobuna acts?
Such resolve is worthy of the title "Viper of Mino".
Sixty points.
That's a low score for such a compliment.
When I think of how the princess feels...
Yeah.
I've heard what happened in Mino.
So as for the reinforcements...
Don't send any.
Seriously?
If we go save him,
he'll lecture me.
You sure about this?
What's that mean?
Would you rather see me freak out?
No, that's not it, but...
So let me ask this.
If I said I would send reinforcements, would you let me?
Okay, we're done.
Wait!
I said we're done, so we're done.
Don't forget your place, you stupid monkey!
It's just like with Nobukatsu.
I can understand why Imagawa would want this place.
As do you, yes?
But the princess of the Oda is the greatest fool in the land.
She may head to Mino on her own.
Then we're going with the Imagawa.
Yoshimoto's a woman, too.
She'll be easy for you to seduce.
I pity all the women who try to rule during these civil wars.
I'll take advantage of them all.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Don't come in without asking.
I thought at first you didn't care about the Viper.
But I know you want to save him, too.
I'm sorry.
Will the Viper die?
The person who gave me this was a barbarian missionary.
The person whom you care about?
As I was learning from him,
I decided I wanted to unite Japan and travel the world.
He, who came from beyond the seas,
was the beginning of my dream.
I'd like to meet him, too.
He's dead.
Sorry.
For some reason, all the people I love die quickly.
That was the case with my father.
And the Viper, too.
Maybe I can't love anybody.
That's not true.
Your face says, "I'm not going to die."
I'm pretty stubborn that way.
You'll be fine.
I'm never going to love you, after all.
What?
That's harsh.
I am the head of the Asai clan, Asai Nagamasa.
I'm very honoured to meet such a beautiful princess.
Asai Nagamasa
Asai Nagamasa is the young daimyo of northern Oumi.
Asai Nagamasa
To reach the capital, you have to go through him.
Look at that asshole's smirk!
Be quiet, Monkey!
So you have a pet monkey?
Ignore him.
I'm still training him.
More importantly, what do you want?
I've come to remove the cause of your suffering, Princess Nobuna.
My suffering?
Saitou Dousan-dono of Mino.
He will die in the next few days.
But the Oda cannot act.
And?
If the Asai and Oda forces attack from the north and south simultaneously,
the battle will end immediately.
You'll be able to rescue Dousan-dono.
And with Oumi, Mino, and Owari united,
even the Imagawa will not be able to stand against us.
You're proposing an alliance?
It's a good deal, isn't it?
Too good.
What are you really after?
Excuse me.
You're not like the stories I've heard at all.
I'll be honest.
Oda Nobuna-dono,
I've come to make you my wife.
We're losing badly.
What kind of monster attacks his own father?
Father?
If he had even a portion of my blood,
he could have been friends with Nobuna-chan.
Dousan-sama, Inoue-dono has perished in battle.
Many have left us.
The enemy now number above 15,000.
None of them have the slightest bit of loyalty!
Don't say that.
It may be impossible for any of them to understand Nobuna-chan's genius.
Mitsuhide.
I have a request of you.
Y-You want to get married?!
We'll be the most beautiful couple in Japan.
I-It's just way too sudden! That's crazy!
Right?
Beautiful couple?!
He's right, he's better looking than I am!
Let us conquer Japan together, Nobuna-dono.
D-Does that mean you're in love with me?
No.
Political marriages are the way of the world.
If anything, love gets in the way.
What a jerk!
I want to...
...choose my own husband.
I'm going to marry the person I love.
That's my dream!
Have you already decided on someone?
W-Well...
Oh, is it the monkey?
No!
He's just my servant!
I'm never ever going to marry him!
What are you kicking me for?!
You say something, too!
But I'm just a servant.
You're giving up because he's better looking than you!
You're lame!
Who's giving up on what?
Well...
You're about to lose the prettiest girl in the land!
Doesn't that bother you?
It does, right?
If you don't want to do it, then just refuse.
I'll marry Nagamasa!
Go on then!
I won't miss a girl who's told she isn't loved and gets married!
Shut up!
A lovers' quarrel in front of another daimyo is unacceptable.
Five points.
Lovers' quarrel?
That was certainly an unexpected ambush.
Well, um...
But if you refuse the marriage, Dousan-dono will die.
You bastard!
Are you threatening her?
Coupled with a Mino without Dousan and the Imagawa,
if you make an enemy of the Asai as well, the Oda clan will fall.
You'd do well to think this over.
Nobuna...
There's still a way to save Dousan-sama.
The knowledge of that...
...brought back all the emotions she had sealed within her heart.
But she can't marry that guy!
I feel bad for the princess.
The Imagawa armies gather at our borders.
We cannot go on our own.
And the alliance is the strategically correct choice.
You're not going to accept this marriage are you?
If the Oda Clan's only interest is in conquering Japan,
this marriage is...
...seventy points.
However!
If we think of our princess, then it's less than zero points.
Women are not tools of conquest!
Nagahide...
With all of the wars going on,
I'd at least hoped our princess...
Monkey?
...ended up with someone she liked.
Hey, lowlife!
If you want to seduce a girl,
there are better ways to go about it!
She may not look it, but Nobuna's very naive!
A loveless marriage proposal is too much of a shock for her!
A man's jealousy is an ugly thing.
T-That's not it!
I won't say that a political marriage is a bad thing,
but you should at least tell her you like her!
Telling a lie like that is worse.
If you want to be a female daimyo,
you have to throw away any chance of happiness as a woman.
You can't stay a woman if you want to survive the civil wars.
If she hopes for both love and the unification of Japan,
it's better that someone make her give up that naive dream early.
That's the kind thing to do.
Shut up!
I swore I'd make her dream come true!
If she won't give up on conquest or love,
I'll make sure she gets both of them!
So... if you could at least...
I don't love her.
And I never will.
Why you...
I'm going to keep having her carve up provinces.
For me, her husband.
You monster!
No, Monkey!
Let me go, Inuchiyo.
If you hit him, there'll be war.
You're just one of her retainers.
No matter how much you love her, it will never be.
Never.
Damn it!
Never, huh?
Have you made your decision, Nobuna-dono?
I...
This will solve all your problems.
I... I will...
Stop right there!
I won't give you Nobuna!
Ever.
Monkey...
I mean the Oda aren't going to be the Asai's slaves.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I'm not.
Get out of here, Monkey.
This is a matter between the daimyo-
I won't give our princess to a playboy like you!
You both lose points for not being honest with yourselves, but...
Eighty points.
Discussions are over.
I hope you don't regret it.
I'm glad that's over...
Akechi Mitsuhide-dono has come from Mino.
You guys...
Where's the Viper?
The Viper's with you, right?
Dousan-sama's daughter, Kichou-sama.
What happened to the Viper?
I have a letter.
Oda Nobuna, my daughter...
When I met you, I learned that my dream was not over.
I learned that the life I spent expanding my borders was not in vain.
I could have no greater joy.
All men will die someday.
The time to say goodbye will come to us all.
If Oda Nobuna will carry on the dream of the Viper,
that is enough for me.
I leave now for the next world,
praying that your dreams come true.
Dousan-sama repeats he does not need reinforcements...
All forces... All forces, march...
I'm sorry!
...for Mino.
Katsuie!
We can't send reinforcements!
Are you going to tell her that Dousan died when she wakes up?
What else can we do?
Send out a strike force to rescue Dousan.
But they'll never survive!
Who would we send?
I'll go!
Thanks, Goemon.
A servant should do anything for their lord.
Boss, we going to war?
We steal the Viper of Mino.
Sounds like a big job.
Anyone who makes it through the enemy lines alive,
head to my daughter in Owari!
I'll show you how a viper dies!
Wait!
Boy, what are you doing here?
You're coming with us, old man.
I refuse!
You stubborn old man!
Do you know how sad Nobuna will be if you die?
You stupid fool!
What?
What if you die here?
You are her only hope.
I am?
A dream is a dream because you share it with someone.
You are from the future,
and the only one who can understand her dream.
A dream only one person has is nothing but ambition.
Will this land be burned by ambition or brightened by dreams?
Its fate rests on your shoulders.
Lead Nobuna for me.
I understand.
But I'm going back with you.
Y-You moron!
She's not honest with herself, and she's a brat,
but she accidentally told me how she felt!
For some reason, all the people I love die quickly.
I never want to see her that sad again!
Where am I?
What happened in Mino?
Where's Monkey?
Um, well... Basically...
Where did he go?
Mino.
Hurry, Goemon!
I'm giving it my all!
We're sitting ducks out here!
We'll have to trust our luck to heaven.
Fire!
Keep on firing!
Don't let my father escape!
Props, Goemon!
Props?
It means "thank you".
Hang in there!
Dousan-sama, I hope your dream comes true.
Goodbye.
I'm sorry.
Sagara, any plans?
Didn't that "game" of yours tell you anything about this?
This wasn't part of the game!
We'll have to make it on our own!
My father will soon be arriving in Owari.
Don't let him escape!
Kill him!
Right!
We're through!
We made it to Owari, old man!
Not yet, boy.
Yoshitatsu will not give up so easily.
We need to run!
We can't.
The horses are faster!
So this is it?
Push the Yoshitatsu army back!
Charge!
Retreat! Retreat!
What's Nobuna doing here?
And most of the Oda army?
If we leave Owari defenceless, Imagawa will attack!
Nobody stopped her?
We tried.
But she insisted...
But...
It's your fault!
You just went and left me.
You can't even use a spear!
What if you had died?!
Nobuna...
Reporting.
25,000 Imagawa troops have invaded Owari.
