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.
it is best for the Azai clan to side 
with Nobunaga whose ambition is greater.
من الأفضل لعشيرة أزاي محالفة نوبوناغا ذا الطموح الأعلى
sollten wir uns auf Nobunagas Seite stellen,
der größere Ambitionen verfolgt.
O clã Azai devia tomar partido
do Nobunaga, que é ambicioso!
