Nobunaga is very similar to his counterpart in the Onimusha games. He calls himself "Devil King of the Sixth Heaven" and wants to rule over the whole world. He is not a dreamer but a single-minded tyrant who sweeps all obstacles from his path. Nobunaga pays no attention to people around him; they are mere pawns that are supposed to play by his rules or perish. He wields a sword in one hand and a shotgun in the other. Nobunaga uses foreign weapons and armor, and his element is shadow. Nobunaga's sister is Oichi, Nōhime is his wife and the late Nagamasa Azai was his brother-in-law.
