Sengoku Musou Episode 6 Discussion

Omg they put the idiot Hidetada in charge. Why don't you just set the world on fire.

Well, that's what Tokugawa really did, in part to prevent a power struggle after his death, and in part to spark a confrontation with the Toyotomi. However, Ieyasu still retained much of the power until his death, with Hidetada often being relegated to a figurehead.

While it's a shame that Nobuyuki is portrayed as a complete ass, I think it's even more unfortunate that it looks like future events are going to hinge on his being manipulated by Fuuma.
The whole 'evil twisting things behind the scenes' is a little of an overused plot element, and I think it takes away from the show where having Nobuyuki be a plain old prejudiced fool would at least make him an awful person. Going so far as to have him manipulated by third rate magic acts from a spooky supernatural ninja just turns him into a complete joke of a character without any sort of saving grace.

But I don't know, maybe Fuuma is a traditional antagonist and manipulator in the Sengoku Musou series, in which case the turn of events might make a little more sense.

Yeah after the episode i researched the real life events and hot damn man. Would be nice for the anime to have a twist tho. He's so annoying.

That's what Sengoku Basara is for. Sengoku Musou is more historically accurate. Even in the games, there's not much deviation from history - a few routes end with a different side winning a pivotal battle, but those are the exception rather than the rule.

Now, as AntonKutovoi hinted, they could have Hidetada being Kotaro's plaything and puppet, but it's doubtful he's going to die or be dead unless they show an old and gray Nobuyuki as part of an epilogue.

I think you meant Hidetada - Nobuyuki is Yukimura's brother.
As for Kotaro - I say his current role is a reference to his story in Sengoku Musou 2, where he was a big bad, who could appear on a random battlefield just for lulz (since his masters, Hojo clan, were unrepresented in the game back then). In recent games he is pretty much a Hojo vassal with dark sense of humor. So they expanded Kotaro's role after Hojo's fall and came back to roots (in SW2 his story was about him manipulating Hojo and, later, Tokugawa from the shadows).
