With only a small force, Fujikichiro is tasked with holding off the Asakura army until Nobunaga returns to Kyoto, while Koichiro (played by Nakano) takes on the most dangerous role. The brothers' life-or-death retreat begins! Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Yoshiaki (played by Onoe Ukon), having learned of Nagamasa's rebellion, makes a certain decision...and so the story unfolds.
