A wandering man named Maeda Keiji meets Kenshin to discuss forming an alliance against Nobunaga. He then visits Masamune, who is displeased by the encounter. Keiji attempts to persuade Masamune to join the alliance, arguing that it will bring peace and happiness to Japan. Masamune refuses the proposal, insisting he will defeat Nobunaga alone. Consequently, the two engage in combat. Masamune defeats Keiji despite the latter's arguments for unity. Undeterred by the loss, Masamune remains determined to stop Nobunaga and prepares to confront the Oda clan directly.
