According to "Kitsutsuki Senpō" (Operation Woodpecker), TAKEDA Shingen sends detached forces to Mt. Saijo where UESUGI Masatora is based to attack his army and make it climb down the mountain to a plain called Hachimanpara.

Both Nobushige and MOROZUMI Torasada attack their enemy to gain time and are killed. Kansuke accepts his failure and remembers that Ōi-Fujin told him that he is a sad man by nature because he said if Buddha appears now, he will take up arms also.

So Yoshinobu returns to the headquarter and Kansuke asks him to take care of Katsuyori (*). He remembers the words of AMARI Torayasu, "You should know what you gain and what you lose" and those of ITAGAKI Nobukata, "Be a real strategist and support Harunobu (Shingen)".
