Across his journey, Jubei meets several warriors who become his allies, with each of them having their own story arc. These characters are Ankokuji Ekei, a master spearfighter in the Houzouin style who used to serve a feudal lord a long time ago but left after losing a battle against Nobunaga's forces. He also lost his daughter when his castle was burnt in the battle. He wishes to become a feudal lord and will do anything to achieve his dream. Fūma Kotarō, a ninja who distrusts women after his mother abandoned him, meets Jubei and helps him in his quest to defeat Nobunaga, as well as to uncover the mystery behind Oyu. Magoichi Saiga, the leader of the "Saiga Shu" gun troop in Kii Province, is on a quest to kill Nobunaga because he fears Nobunaga will one day eventually attack the village that raised him. Oyu of Odani, a female warrior who is secretly Nobunaga's sister, Oichi, and wishes to stop her brother. She is the love interest in the game and reveals to Jubei that she has a husband, but she left after finding out that her husband had daughters from a previous marriage. Jubei also encounters several Gemna serving Nobunaga including the arrogant yet noble swordsman Gogandantess; Ginghamphatts, a giant, semi-arachnid genma; and Jujudormah, a female genma who kills Takajo and is obsessed with Nobunaga. With help from his friends, Jubei defeats his enemies, including the forces that were going to attack Odani Castle. He goes to Nobunaga's base in Gifu Castle after stealing a ship from Nobunaga's servant, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Having already obtained all Five Orbs, Jubei bids farewell to his comrades, with Kotaro sacrificing his life to save Oyu during the final battle with Jujudormah, Ekei getting accepted to serve a feudal lord, Magoichi leaving to his village to prepare for battle, and Oyu returning to her home after Jubei tells her that Nobunaga is still her brother and she cannot kill him, as well as the fact that she still has a husband at home waiting for her. Jubei faces Nobunaga alone. During his final battle with Nobunaga, Jubei unleashes the might of the Five Orbs to enhance his oni powers, and defeats Nobunaga.
