Oda Nobunaga and Nōhime were originally married to mend a hostile relationship between neighbouring regions. Unfortunately, they were like oil and water, making for a somewhat unhappy marriage.

However, Nohime encourages him not to despair, and the pair draw up a tactical plan that will allow them to overcome the odds.
