----------------------------------------
The episode started out with many dead bodies lying on the ground which i assume that a war just took place. Nobunaga fights his opponent using a gun...then after that, he finish him off with his blade. *sigh*

Kenshin is quite good to be able to dodged the bullets fired by the opponent who turns out to be Nobunaga's wife Nouhime. Then the battle continues with serious machine gun firing DX Kenshin's speed was impressive in this battle and he manage to dodge every bullet followed with the cutting of Nouhime's weapon. Kasuga manage to catch Nouhime but Ranmaru was there as well, he kill the soldiers around Kenshin and 1 of the arrow manage to hit his leg. Nouhime seize this opportunity to fire Kenshin, Kasuga realise that and use her body as a shield to protect him. But Kenshin pulls Kasuga away and end up receiving all the firing.

In the meantime, Shingen is fighting Mitsuhide and Mitsuhide does quite a bit of damage in his side. But then he saw Masamune and Kojuurou on the other side who are ready to fight him. I hope that Kenshin is alive after what he been through but we'll just have to wait and see.

Great episode...kinda hope takeda's dies...Yukimura will be pissed.
As for Kenshin, hope he doesn't die since they rarely shown him fight.
As for the other characters at the beginning (old guy and the monk), it sucks that they didn't get to show them display any of their abilities, especially the old guy...just killed them off immediately. Hope they at least show the pirate and genius fighting before they kill them.

wow, i'll give Oda's forces this, they are great at assassinations, but too bad the east alliance lost two of its main leaders, and most powerful fighters too

All the leaders are being taken out... kind of surprising actually. It makes the show a bit more interesting but it still a pretty meh.

So-so episode. That tw of the generals got killed/incapacitated so easily is a bit disappointing. At least Akechi's plot had some strategy and planning to it. Akechi's dialogue about his scythe and his voice actor being Sho Hayami was pure awesome though. You could listen to that guy talk about horrible things all day long.

I agree that they were both too easily defeated, but I feel sad for Yukimura, because he had such a great (and kinda freaky) bond together.

I wouldn't mind Takeda dying. That would completely piss Yukimura off and he'd get serious.

But if Kenshin really dies, then I'D be pissed off. I hope that he ultimately lives. Honestly, Kasuga should have died. Then Kenshin would have gotten serious.

Or a brilliant strategist. Sure he doesn't fight with honor but this is war. The loser is gone a die and Oda is going for results. He does everything he can's to win. Simple as that.

Personally i loved this episode. Lot's of development and action. But i still can't believe that both of them are dead. Does that mean that the one eye Dragon could be the final guy standing?
Anyway i expect that at least Takeda is alive. He only got hurt in the shoulder. He won't go down that easily.

I agree. I was hoping she'd die so I wouldn't have to see her stupid face any more.

And that's what makes him despicable. Assassination is a coward's way of winning a war.

WHAT THE FUCK MAN. A LOT OF THE BIG LEADERS DIED ALREADY, AND IT WASN'T EVEN ODA WHO DID IT BUT HIS SUBORDINATES. WHAT THE FUCK MAN. LEADERS SHOULD ONLY BE KILLED BY LEADERS, DAMN.

Anyways, nice episode. I didn't expect that the Tiger of Kai and the other one, Kenshin, would die in the hands of Oda's subordinates. So, they're losing now. It's up to Yukimura and Masamune in order for them to win this battle.

WHAT THE FUCK TIGER, DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME. COME ON YOU'RE FUCKING MUSCULAR, DON'T DIE ON THAT ONE SINGLE SHOT MADE BY THAT SLUT.

The two main leaders killed off under 20 minutes? I expected Takeda (it's needed for Yukimura's maturity anyways) but Kenshin? He never got much screentime either.

It's up to Date <3 and Yukimura now then. Loved the fights.

Kenshin and Shirohige.. er Takeda got killed? Just like that?

Man that's some bullshit. Only thing good about it is seeing Date and Yuukimura's upcoming rage.

I expected them to die, but not like this. I hope Mitsuhide ends up killing Oda too. That guy is one crazy bastard.

Blah, we just lost one of the two archrival duos and two of the best strategists and generals at all - especially Uesugi Kenshin, the War God! Besides these moments, the entire episode had nice feeling within itself.

God I hate that yellow hair whore bitch. She needs to stay away from fighting.
Dang Kenshin got hit by the enemy. That sucks! Hope he stay alive while he is drowned.
That gun machine girl is so badass once again.
Can't wait for the next episode. Date is about to kick some asses.

Yes, yes they did. I can't believe that you're the only person who commented on it so far. That's like setting an anime in the revolutionary war and then just casually killing off George Washington!

Uesugi Kenshin has fallen.. that's because Kasuga didn't follow Takeda Shingen's advice to never leave him alone no matter what even if he himself ordered it. Well look at the bright side! at least we won't see their annoying scene anymore.

Hey even Takeda Shingen's in trouble now. Kick Mitsuhide's ass Masamune!

Can't believe they killed Tokugawa, guess we won't be following anything resembling anything like the actual history of Japan.

Kenshin going after the gun instead of just killing Nouhime reeked of plot convenience though.
