Mitsuhide Akechi, a devoted retainer to Nobunaga Oda, harbors unspoken romantic longing beneath her steadfast loyalty. Their bond began when Nobunaga defeated her in a duel, captivating Mitsuhide with her vision to unify Japan—a cause compelling enough to abandon her sheltered life. Over years of service, admiration deepened into concealed affection, guarded by a disciplined, solemn exterior. Her rivalry with Yoshino Hide (“Hideyoshi”) simmers with open contempt, fueled by Hideyoshi’s growing closeness to Nobunaga. Though Mitsuhide dismisses her as a reckless irritant, she begrudgingly intervenes to save Hideyoshi from peril. Tensions peak during a competition between them, where Mitsuhide claims victory only after Hideyoshi falters at the final challenge. Jealousy drives Mitsuhide to betray Nobunaga temporarily, luring her into a drunken stupor to seize the Crimson Armor and ignite Honnouji Temple. Nobunaga’s rescue from the flames and reaffirmation of their partnership quells Mitsuhide’s possessive urges, transforming her devotion into a steadier, selfless loyalty. Behind her poised confidence lies insecurity and a penchant for jealousy, balanced by comedic panic when confronted with ghost stories. In battle, she wields kunai with lethal precision, relying on agility and strategy, though emotional cracks occasionally disrupt her focus. Sporting short purple hair, blue eyes, and glasses, Mitsuhide blends traditional attire with modern touches. Resembling Hideyoshi’s classmate “Akerin” earns her the teasing nickname, which she accepts with reluctant amusement. During the final clash against Tokugawa Ieyasu—corrupted by the Crimson Armor’s power—Mitsuhide fights alongside allies to dismantle his tyranny. This united victory cements her commitment to Nobunaga’s cause, transcending personal desires to safeguard their shared future.
