Shibata Katsuie Information
Shibata Katsuie is chief retainer of the Oda clan, and has served the Oda ever since Nobunaga's father was head of the clan. During his service to Nobunaga's younger brother, Nobuyuki, Katsuie stood against Nobunaga as his enemy. Nobunaga later forgave Katsuie and appointed him as chief retainer, a most influential position.
Katsuie is very fond of Maeda Toshiie, in whom he sees his own values of valor and loyalty. On the other hand, he is instinctively dislikes Tokichiro, who uses the poer of yokai and the Spirit Stones to achieve his ends. While it is difficult for Katsuie to watch Tokichiro earn Nobunaga's praise, he coems to feel differently about the protagonist upon watching the way they hold their own in battle.
With the events that transpire in Honnoji, Tokichiro's ambitions are laid bare, and Katsuie marries Oichi, Nobunaga's younger sister. In the conflict that ensues between Katsuie and Tokichiro, Katsuie finds himself surrounded by the enemy in Kitanosho Castle. Backed into a corner with no alternative in sight, Katsuie uses the Spirit Stones to protect Oichi, transforming into a youkai. Unable to tell friend from foe, Katsuie attacks the protagonist who has come to help him, and is fatally wounded in combat. On the verge of death, he entrusts the protagonist with what is most important to him and apologizes to Oichi before breathing his last.
Upon meeting the protagonist again in the Interim, Katsuie thanks them for stopping him when he was a yokai. The protagonist assists him in eliminating his own lingering spirit and those of his soldiers from the world of the living, allowing Katsuie to finally rest in peace.
