In the dramatic route, Nobunaga fakes his death, Keiji encourages Mai to go see Nobunaga herself (so he can tell her it's not real) but she refuses because she BELIEVES he's dead and doesn't want to see his corpse (Mai ffs) and burns with the hatred of Kichou with a thousand fiery suns
And she's like "Idk some clever out of the box plan that would catch everything at once D:<" but then she remembers facing down Nobunaga with a gun and she was like "NO LET'S TALK"
And Nobunaga, as Keiji told her (but she thought Keiji was talking about Hideyoshi lmfao) has to ruin his plan to leap into action and rams Kichou & Motonari with a fucking metal ship because he's like "FUCK YEAH MY SHIPS ARE CRAZIER THAN YOURS"
ALTHOUGH GAWD So Drake might be coming out in the next part of IkeVamp and I am just :VVVV I have no idea Arthur's feelings on him whatsoever right now
Nobunaga singing Muppets in my head, "Now take Sir Francis Drake, the Spanish all despise him~ But the British, he's a hero, and they idolize him! It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good~"
'Tradeliners? Yeah, they tell their recruits that we're evil incarnate so the whole crazy shipful of them want to fight to the death instead of surrendering the cargo like we actually want, and that's somehow our fault.'
Kicho your suicide rate naturally goes up when you stop having like a 70% infant mortality rate
