The only provinces that haven't sent any messengers to the Imagawa Shogunate...
...are Wakasa and Echizen.
Echizen?
Asakura Yoshikage.
The powerful monk of Mount Hiei, Shoukakuin,
the ruler of Sakai, Tsuda Soukyuu,
and the leader of the conspirators, the imperial adviser, Konoe Sakihisa.
Disgusting.
Let's kill them all!
They're all powerful people.
We can't do that without proof.
Danjo's our proof!
My testimony will be laughed at.
Then we attack Asakura!
Asakura is allied with the Asai Clan.
Kanjuurou is in Asai, right?
In our history,
Nobunaga attacked Asakura in Echizen regardless.
And the result...
We attack Wakasa.
It'll make Asakura think twice before they do anything.
Tell everyone we'll be striking Wakasa.
Wakasa, right?
Not Echizen?
Nobuna!
T-That's right.
That's what I said.
I know all about Wakasa!
Let me take the lead.
Sure.
Go get 'em.
Leave it to me.
So who will protect Kyo?
We'll leave the monkey.

Episode Ten
Nobuna in Grave Danger
She's calling in reinforcements from Mikawa, too.
Why do I have to stay behind?
Stop complaining and protect Kyo, damn it.
That's supposed to be your job.
That's right.
So you need to do as good a job as I would, Monkey-senpai.
A charm?
I-I knitted it myself.
So you'd better be grateful!
I'm not taking that!
It's embarrassing.
Just take it.
I don't want you dying.
I'm just going to be staying here.
We don't know what will happen.
You and I are going to help Nobuna-sama conquer Japan!
I won't have you leaving us before she's finished.
I can't believe I have to use the women's bath in secret.
I'd rather bathe with a bunch of cute girls.
Who's there?
Oh, it's Nagamasa-dono.
So you like going into the women's bath, too.
Y-You're a guy?!
So you found out, huh?
It was a complete lie that I was Nobuna's sister, Princess Oichi.
I am Tsuda Nobusumi, a man-
A woman?!
So Nobuna knew I was the princess of Asai,
and sent a man to marry me?
What a terrifying woman.
No, I don't think my sister knew.
But why?
What's wrong with having a female daimyo?
My father was very stubborn.
No matter how chic female daimyo are, he would never allow it.
"If you want to lead the Asai Clan,
stop being a woman and become a man."
"If you choose to be a woman,
you will have to go to the Rokkaku as a hostage."
No family's got it easy.
I decided that if I had to abandon being a woman, I would be a real man.
I would seduce and use women,
and make the Asai rulers...
There's no need to abandon being a woman.
I can't do that!
You can.
We're married, right?
Okay, I've decided.
When you're alone with me,
go back to being a woman!
This is our secret.
Got it?
From now on, you're my wife.
Understood, Hisamasa-dono?
The 30,000 soldiers who left Kyo with Nobuna were drawing near Oumi, in Asai territory.

The Asai clan has granted us passage through Oumi.
Okay, let's get going.
Nene is here!
Why are you here?
The princess asked me to make sure you don't fool around with any girls.
That Nobuna...
Are you okay, Hanbei-chan?
I'm sorry.
I think I used too much of my power at Kiyomizu Temple.
Do you know any way to lower her fever?
Cool her under her arms?
Under her arms, right?
Don't look, Yoshiharu-san!
C-Cool her under her arms with a wet cloth!
Understood!
It tickles.
Your face is red.
Are you turned on?
Heck no!
Kuniyoshi Castle has surrendered without a fight.
It's all going well so far.
How far is it to Kanegasaki Castle?
About a half day's ride, I think.
That's in Echizen.
That's right.
I was sure Nobuna would hit Echizen.
That would cause problems for the Asai.
Yup.
In my games, when she attacks Echizen,
she's betrayed by the Asai behind her.
The Oda forces are cut off from Kyo and in grave danger.
It's a major event in Lord Nobunaga's Ambition.
The Retreat at Kanegasaki.
Nobuna-sama is in danger.
It's okay.
She went to Wakasa.
That was a lie.
Her real plan was to go east as soon as she entered Wakasa,
and surprise attack Echizen.
What?!
I'm sorry.
If I'd known what would happen at Kanegasaki...
Father, please reconsider!
I'm taking back control of the clan until we slay Oda Nobuna.
Nobuna-dono is my sister-in-law!
I want you to be the one to rule Japan!
F-Father, please!
Father!
If the Asai armies cut off her line of retreat,
her armies will be stranded in enemy territory.
They'll be caught between the Asai and Asakura armies, and be annihilated.
We must tell the princess.
Find out what Nagamasa is doing.
Odani is our first priority.
I'll go, too.
You need to rest.
Then I'll send Zenki-san in my place.
Oda's entered Echizen?
Now she is mine.
Please return, Oichi-sama!
Ow...
Are you okay, Nobusumi?
Monkey-kun!
What happened?
Where's Nagamasa?
Imprisoned.
Imprisoned?
Give this to my sister!
This is...
A monster fox?
Go, Monkey-kun!
What are you talking about?
I have to save you.
I'm fine!
Besides, there's someone I can't leave behind.
You...
Fine!
Zenki!
Stay alive, Nobusumi.
Save my sister, Monkey-kun.
Kanegasaki Castle has fallen.
...Ichijoudani Castle
...Kinome Pass
...Kanegasaki Castle
If we cross Kinome Pass from here,
Echizen and Ichijoudani Castle are right there.
But there are 20,000 Asakura soldiers.
We're about to face a real counter-attack.
We'll finish it before then.
Monkey, what are you doing here?
Nobuna!
Retreat!
Asai has betrayed you.
The Oda armies are just like this pouch.
Tied up on both ends.
We'll be wiped out!
No way...
What are you talking about, Monkey?
Asai can't betray us...
Kanjuurou's married there.
Nobusumi's the one who brought me that pouch.
Nagamasa's been imprisoned.
Hisamasa has taken over the Asai clan.
He may be stupid, but he's not that stupid...
I was careless.
I knew this would happen if you attacked Echizen.
I was so relieved by what you said.
I'm sorry.
No, Monkey.
If I'd told the truth from the beginning...
It felt like you could read my mind, so I just...
Nobuna...
Reporting.
The Asakura forces have entered Kinome Pass.
The famous warriors Magara Naoki and Naozumi are leading the way.
They're coming fast.
Princess, we must withdraw!
I'll draw them away from the rear.
Escape then-
No, you can't fight an army that size!
Who can I ask to do it?!
I don't want to let anyone die!
That's not going to happen.
Then surrender.
We surrender.
Are you going to give up on conquering Japan?!
It's not worth everyone's life.
If a female daimyo becomes a nun, she won't be killed.
If you surrender, you'll be killed.
After a betrayal of this size, they'll be coming to kill you.
The Oda Clan...
No, Japan itself cannot survive without you.
Order one of your retainers to guard the rear.
Order them to die.
No.
If you want to conquer, then people will die for it!
Resolve yourself to that.
I-I can't order that.
Of course, I'll do it.
Don't be stupid!
I will!
How are the Oda going to conquer Japan without their finest warrior?
Monkey, why would you...
If I hadn't met you, I would've died all alone on a road somewhere.
To help Oda Nobuna conquer,
and then sail the seven seas with her...
An incredible dream, isn't it?
But thanks to that, I was able to live my life looking forward, not backwards.
If you abandon your conquest,
my life in this world is over.
Monkey.
This connects this time and the future.
It's like a clock from the future.
My dad gave it to me.
You have a father in the future...
If you don't do your best, our future will disappear.
You're the only one who can destroy the old world,
and bring about the world I lived in.
You liar!
You said you'd stay with me until my dream came true!
Liar! Liar! Liar!
Listen to me.
If you let the others guard the rear, they will die.
But if I was called here as a replacement for Toyotomi Hideyoshi...
You'll die!
Everyone...
Everyone I love dies.
I came to this time for you.
So I promise.
I won't do anything that will make you sad.
Monkey...
When you make it back safe,
and I come back alive,
this time I'm taking the best prize in Japan.
Let me kiss you.
Kiss?
Yeah, as in, on the lips.
All right.
You're still here?
Mikawa was able to become independent because of you, Monkeyharu-san.
I want to repay you for that.
It's fine.
Go.
But...
If we don't have anybody left to rule the country after Japan's united,
we're in trouble.
Once the country's at peace, you, Ieyasu...
No, Motoyasu, will be the best one to rule it.
And Juubei.
You will cross the sea with Nobuna.
G-Go out to the rest of the world?
Yes.
So both of you, live.
For Nobuna.
I'll leave Hanzou-san.
He wants to stay.
Hanzou does?
If you die,
I'll laugh and say you were never a match for me.
I won't die.
Or was this thing not worth anything?
It's worth a ton!
You won't die no matter what happens!

Thus began history's most horrendous retreat:

the retreat at Kanegasaki.
Kanegasaki
Yoshiharu was the rear guard, and with 500 men,
was tasked with delaying the enemy as best he could.
Meanwhile, the Oda army would force their way through Kutsuki Valley, in Asai territory, and head for Kyo.

Crush them!
Don't be afraid!

Go now!
Impossible.
Okay, next!
Amazing.
The Oda army will use it at Nagashino eventually.
Three squads firing in turn.
They ran.
No, they'll be coming back.
Goemon.
Run to Mino.
Get the Viper to Oumi.
But...
If we scare the Asai, our chance of survival rises.
Please.
U-Understood!
Everyone, pwrotect Shwagara for me!
We can't refuse when you're tripping over your tongue like that.
The boss' orders are law.
Leave the monkey boss to us.
Sagara!
Good luck!
The guys always get the crap jobs.
It's fine, brother.
We're all prepared to lay down our lives for you.
We'll protect you, boss!
You're our star of hope!
What good does being popular with guys do me?
That's what's odd about you.
You're a weird one, too.
Now we withdraw!
Run as fast as you can!
We will now enter Kutsuki Valley.
Once we're through here, it's a straight line to Kyo.
Let's do it.
Monkey...
I'm going back.
There's no point in surviving in a world without him.
Get a hold of yourself, Princess!
Monkey isn't dead!
He'll die!
I left him in front of that huge army.
He stayed there on his own!
For you!
No.
I ordered him to.
I killed him...
If you don't go,
then there was no point in him staying!
I won't let that happen.
Inuchiyo...
I'll hold them off!
Everyone, follow me.
So Kutsuki Valley betrayed us, too.
No, it's probably another force from Odani Castle.
The lord of Kutsuki Valley is Kutsuki Mototsuna, an indecisive man.
I'll bring him to our side.
Let's go, Princess.
Throw off everything you can and run.
But...
Everyone's working as hard as they can.
Just to make sure you survive.
Monkey...
The Oda forces are being routed at Kanegasaki.
But she isn't an easy woman to kill.
If she returns to Kyo...
She won't.
Ever.
I can't cry.
If I fall apart here, Monkey will get mad.
I'm sure he's alive.
He's always been crazy,
but he's never broken a promise.
If he keeps his promise, I'll keep mine.
I'll make it home alive!
I've been shot...
Yoshiharu...
I'm sorry...
