The Miyoshi Three orchestrate an elaborate plan against Nobuna and Yoshimoto. First, their counterintelligence compels Nobuna to send out her army to deal with a nonexistent threat, despite Yoshiharu's foreknowledge of its falseness. Then, a sniper kidnaps Yoshiharu to lure Nobuna into his crosshair and assassinate her. Meanwhile, Miyoshi troops attack Kyoto. Their leader, Danjō, teleports into Kiyomizu Temple and attacks Jubei. Despite being a swordsmaster, Jubei is no match for Danjō's magic. However, Yoshiharu's smartphone foils the sniper and Jubei manages to hold her ground until military relief arrives: Yoshiharu shields Jubei, Nobuna pins Danjō down, Hanbei counteracts her magic and an angry Bontemaru blasts away her recently arrived escort, while troops under Kirishitan lords and Louis rout the Miyoshi invaders. Fully defeated, and impressed with the persecuted Japanese sharing Nobuna's vision, Danjō defects. Later, Nobuna meets Himiko, a psychic who had read Yoshiharu's mind earlier when he took her hand. She knows about his time displacement, his loyalty, and also his soft spot for women.
