Nobunaga the Fool

E1. The Star

Jeanne Kaguya d'Arc senses the coming of the Savior-King through a divine prophecy. Led by Leonardo da Vinci, she embarks for the Star of the East. There, a young warrior named Oda Nobunaga stood in the midst of a battlefield. Powerless against the forces of a neighboring land ruled by the Takeda, Nobunaga experiences the senselessness of war and senses the dawning of a new era.

E2. The Lovers

Nobunaga has a premonition that the Giant War Armor unit, The Fool, is a force heralding a new era. His confidant, Akechi Mitsuhide, is less certain, but Nobunaga only laughs off Mitsuhide's concerns.

E3. The Chariot

Jeanne Kaguya d'Arc is now with the Oda clan. To attract less attention to herself as a foreigner, she disguises herself as a man named Ranmaru. Ranmaru cannot help but doubt Nobunaga due to his reckless behavior, but Nobunaga's brother, Nobukatsu, asks Ranmaru to support Nobunaga. Meanwhile, Takeda Shingen goes forth into battle in his Giant War Armor, Fuurin Kazan, in order to test Nobunaga's mettle.

E4. The Magician

Himiko of Yamatai has averted a crisis by giving Nobunaga a Regalia. However, in return, she demands that they wed. Nobunaga decides that an alliance with Yamatai will strengthen the Oda, and accepts.

E5. The Tower

As the inevitable clash between the Takeda and the Oda forces nears, Nobunaga and Nobuhide have a clash of their own with differences in opinion regarding tactics. Nobunaga is certain that The Fool should be taken on the offensive, and begins to rally the men. However, someone poisons him with a paralytic, and he collapses. As Nobunaga realizes the truth behind the subterfuge, Nobuhide goes forth in his own Battle Armor to duel the Fuurin Kazan...

E6. Strength

While the Oda clan struggles with grief over an irreparable loss, Nobunaga disappears. His absence heightens the tension between Mitsuhide and the advisors.
