Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Akechi bear witness to a lengthy battle between Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda, who both possess pieces of the Crimson Armor. As Hideyoshi tries to take a picture with her phone, it gets hit with an electrical discharge from the battle and breaks. Akechi becomes downhearted when her idea to retrieve the armor is rejected by Nobunaga. After running into Ieyasu, Akechi decides to go behind Nobunaga's back to try and obtain the armor for her by turning Kenshin and Shingen against each other, tying up Hideyoshi when she learns of it. After Nobunaga frees Hideyoshi, she punishes her by stealing her glasses before going to meet Kenshin and Shingen herself, challenging them both to a battle for the armor. After Nobunaga defeats Shingen in battle, she agrees to relinquish the armor if she kills her, but Kenshin stands in their way, offering her life to save Shingen. Nobunaga chooses not to kill either of them and accepts both pieces of the armor.
