Nobunaga attacking the Asakura Clan puts the Azai Clan in a weird position, as they are supposed to be allies to both clans. The head of the clan, Nagamasa, who is also Nobunaga’s brother-in-law, says that they cannot attack Nobunaga. However, his father and former head of the clan, Hisamasa, begins preparations to attack Nobunaga’s forces, and tries to get rid of Chidori, who had come to see Oichi.
There's no way that Nagamasa-sama 
would choose the Asakura clan.
من المحال أن يختار ناغاماسا-ساما عشيرة أساكورا
Nagamasa-sama würde sich niemals
für den Asakura-Klan entscheiden.
Le seigneur Nagamasa
ne choisira pas Asakura.
Nagamasa-sama non potrebbe
mai scegliere gli Asakura.
Lorde Nagamasa nunca vai
favorecer o clã Asakura.
