Dying in Oichi's arms, Nagamasa forgives her deception, as Mitsuhide exposes her failed mission to seduce the Azai clan. Furious at this revelation, Masamune attacks Mitsuhide despite Katakura Kojuurou's advice, but is forced to retreat when Ieyasu withdraws due to Nobunaga's betrayal. Nobunaga's wife, Nouhime, kills Tadakatsu with an underground bomb. Following Tadakatsu's death, Ieyasu joins the alliance against Nobunaga. Masamune retreats to avoid annihilation by Mitsuhide's firearms. Yukimura invites Masamune to stay at Kai instead of returning to Oshu. Kojuurou treats Masamune's injuries from the gun volley, surprised by the severity of his wounds sustained during the conflict.
