Episode Title:
Intrigue in the House of Oda.Episode Description:
Yoshiharu must purchase 8,000 koku of rice in a week with only 3,000 kan, or lose his head to Nobukatsu Oda, Nobuna's younger brother, who threatens to rebel if he does not receive the head. Using his foreknowledge of market prices, and with the help of Toshiie "Inuchiyo" Maeda, Goemon and Goemon's men, he manages to buy 30,000 koku instead. For the first time, Nobuna shows signs of having feelings for Yoshiharu. Nobukatsu rebels anyway, but Yoshiharu's guidance of troops subdues the rebellion peacefully by scaring Nobukatsu. Yoshiharu also prevents the execution of Nobukatsu, fearing that Nobuna would become a similarly ruthless ruler like Nobunaga. A grateful Nobukatsu changes his name to Nobusumi Tsuda and surrenders all claims on the Oda clan.
