Takasugi Shinsuke : Revealed to have ties to Isaburo but it is unknown when Takasugi allied himself with Nobu Nobu.He is killed during the Kokujo Island Prison Breakout. Siding with the ill-suited Hitotsubashi was part of his approximately four year long plan to bring down the government from the inside, a suicidal action sparked by the assassination of his wife and newborn child. But it is revealed that Isaburo was never on Nobu Nobu's side to begin with. After the faction succeeds, Nobu Nobu promotes Isaburo as the new police commissioner and his Mimawarigumi as Nobu Nobu's only government police force. Sasaki Isaburo: He and Mimawarigumi are all nobleman samurai who had allied themselves to Nobu Nobu and his faction to help them become the main political faction in charge of the government, with Nobu Nobu as Shogun.

Yaemon was beheaded by Nobu Nobu after the former had a change of heart and protected his adopted sister, making her his successor.

He revealed his father's unethical but moral decision to free prisoners to the clan, forcing the 16th to commit seppuku and Asaemon to take the fall for his death, paving the way for Yaemon to be head of the Ikeda clan. It is unknown how Yaemon or the Hitotsubashi gained information on the 16th's transgression (releasing prisoners who were the Hitotsubashi's political enemies).

It is also shown that he is also aware that much of his behavior stemmed from being raised in an hostile political environment to become the next puppet shogun. He mocks Shige Shige's tastes (and era) as inferior, takes a delight in belittling a fallen cop by choosing him to be in charge of his superiors' executions, and almost killing two hostesses because they didn't meet his standards. These are both shown when after he became Shogun, he decided to follow Shige Shige's example to visit the common people.


Nobu Nobu is shown to be egotistical and sadistic that is implied to be from his upbringing. He has light green eyes and light brown-blond crew cut hair. And ever since, Nobu Nobu and his faction gathered allies within and without the government to wait for the chance to usurp Sada Sada's groomed successor, Tokugawa Shige Shige, of his position of Shogun. The shrewd Nari Nari groomed Nobu Nobu from birth to become the next Shogun. His father and their retainers were forced to climb back into the government while dodging potential assassination attempts from the leader of the Tokugawa Faction, Tokugawa Sada Sada. The family had fallen from grace at the end of the Joui Wars when a relative of his lost a battle against the Joui. He is the son of Hitotsubashi Nari Nari, one of the branches of the Tokugawa Family.
