Skipping Nobukatsu's coming of age ceremony, Nobunaga along with Mitsuhide and Hideyoshi spot an invasion force of the Takeda. He warns the nearby castle but is not believed and can only watch as his side gets wiped out. Jeanne hears voices and is outcast by her own village. She joins Da Vinci who is heading for the East star. When her voices exhort her, Jeanne commandeers a ship with Da Vinci and escape from Magellan's board.
2The Lovers2014-01-1325 minMagellan sends two armors after Da Vinci. Using Da Vinci's armor, Nobunaga defeats the pursuers but the effort is taxing.

4The Magician2014-01-2725 minUsing Himeko's ship, the party reaches Oda castle. Himeko finds out about Jeanne's gender. The alliance with Yamatai strengthens the Oda clan.

5The Tower2014-02-0325 minNobunaga learns from Himeko how to control the shinki. He gets poisoned just before a new attack of the Takeda. Lord Nobuhide sorties with his armor to defend the castle.

6Strength2014-02-1025 minOut of pain, Nobunaga acts like a fool during his father's funeral. The advisors of the clan have enough and decide to assassinate him so Nobukatsu can become the new clan leader. For what he considers to be the greater good, Nobukatsu is willing to step up. Mitsuhide decides to kill him. Nobuhide deposited his inheritance to Ichi. Jeanne has enough of Nobunaga too and leaves the castle. She witnesses the attempt on Nobunaga's life and how is he saved by the sacrifice of Himeko.
7The Hierophant2014-02-2425 minHimeko is alive, Nobukatsu is not. As the Takedas are the prime suspects, Nobunaga decides to go interrogate Takeda himself and alone. Takeda declares he has not sent any assassins and Nobunaga believes him. They duel, Nobunaga wins. Dying Takeda hands Nobu the fire shinki, then Caesar shows up and finishes Takeda, appropriating a wind shinki Takeda also had. Out of energy, Nobu retreats. Caesar returns to Takeda's and initiates a feud by saying Nobu stabbed Takeda in the back.
8Wands2014-03-0325 minJeanne has a premonition of Cesar stabbing Nobu. Nobu wants to take back the wind shinki so he must attack the Takeda forces that are now led by Caesar.

10Temperance2014-03-1725 minThe Oda clan forges alliances with other clans to counter the Caesar-Uesugi front. This is noticed by Caesar, who asks Arthur for more giant armors. Nobu decides to steal one. They will be delivered in the ley line nexus Takamagahara. The Odas divert the cargo but one armor is manned. Hideyoshi gets into one but is defeated, until Nobu arrives and entrusts him with the wind shinki. Having powered-up, Hideyoshi and his now flying armor Goku can easily defeat the guard.
11Death2014-03-2425 minLeaving Brutus in charge of Kai, Caesar mounts a total assault against Owari. The castle is evacuated, but the sheer number of enemy troops make Oda's three giant armors overheat. Knowing the confrontation with Cesar cannot be lengthy, the Odas devise a stratagem that almost defeats Caesar.

12The Fool2014-03-3125 minNobu invites Caesar to a tea ceremony. Caesar accepts: lacking support in the Round Table, he needs to get rid of his rival Alexander.
