I was confused also, actually I probably caused or at least contributed
to the confusion. I used to read a lot of Koike & Kojima manga :)
Oda was a bloodthirsty fucker, just like all the daimyo at that period in

I would also like to see the whole original, in English though please,
if possible. I haven't searched for it yet.
