Episode Title:
Bonds Torn Asunder - Mortifying Retreat for Masamune!.
Episode Description:
As Nagamasa is dying in Oichi's arms, Mitsuhide reveals that Oichi's objective was to seduce the Azai clan to weaken their military power, but because she fell in love with Nagamasa, she was unable to accomplish any of her given orders. Nagamasa, before dying, forgives Oichi for her deception. With Nagamasa now dead, a furious Masamune, against the advice of Katakura Kojūrō, starts a battle with Mitsuhide. Ieyasu calls out a retreat because Nobunaga has betrayed him. Nōhime, revealed to be Nobunaga's wife, appears and sets her sights on Tadakatsu, killing him with an underground bomb. Masamune also decides to retreat to avoid being annihilated by Mitsuhide's firearms. After the death of Tadakatsu, Ieyasu agrees to join the alliance against Nobunaga. Yukimura offers Masamune to stay at Kai instead of going all the way back to Oshu. Kojūrō, surprised that Masamune was injured during the gun volley, gives treatment for his wounds.
