Nobunaga attempts to marry his younger sister Oichi to his cousin Nobukiyo in order to forge an alliance, an effort that goes badly awry. Meanwhile, rumors of a great serpent lurking near Midori-ga-Ike Pond have the people of Owari living in fear.
Is there really any snake large enough
to swallow up an entire ox?
Gibt es wirklich Schlangen,
die groß genug sind,
¿De veras existe una serpiente tan grande
como para tragarse un buey entero?
क्या सच में इतना बड़ा साँप होता है
जो पूरे बैल को निगल जाए?
Existe realmente uma cobra grande
o bastante para engolir um boi inteiro?
