In the eighth episode, Koichiro (Nakano) and his men march to Sunomata. However, Nobunaga's (Oguri Shun) true target is not Sunomata, but the northern castle guarded by Ando Moriyasu (Tanaka Tetsuji), one of the Mino Three.
Tōkichirō (Ikematsu Sosuke) embarks on a grand plan to build a fortress in Sunomata, knowing that it is a sacrificial pawn to divert the attention of Saitō Tatsuoki (Hamada Tatsuomi), the lord of Mino Province, from his northern castle.
