House Sub-Plots
House Oda
When Nobunaga welcomed Rance into the Oda House, many retainers of the Oda House rebelled. Their excuse for rebelling was that he is a foreigner. In reality though, the rebellion was actually contrived by the Ashikaga House. The commanders who rebelled were already on Ashikaga's side, and Nobunaga saw this as a good opportunity to flush out all the disloyal retainers in his house. He was willing to do this even though he would lose half of his commanders, as he wanted a secure future for Kouhime through loyal retainers. Interesting fact: Players may notice that every single enemy commander fought in the intro battle ended up in Ashikaga House, besides Oda Nobuyuki.
