Ep. 5: The fierce confrontation at Nagashino and Shitaragahara involving Takeda and Tokugawa forces

5

Shingen attempts to recruit Tokugawa Ieyasu, who refuses and allies with Nobunaga. The Tokugawa clan faces difficulties against the Takeda and Uesugi until Ieyasu deploys Honda Tadakatsu, a giant mechanized robot armed with a large drill, to shift the battle's momentum. Yukimura, Sasuke, and Shingen combine their efforts to defeat Tadakatsu. In a separate engagement, Nagamasa intercepts Masamune to prevent him from reaching Nobunaga. Kenshin discovers Keiji's strategy to unite other leaders against Nobunaga alone. When Nobunaga departs, Mitsuhide permits Oichi to visit Nagamasa on the battlefield. This meeting serves as a diversion, allowing Mitsuhide to shoot Nagamasa at point-blank range.
