1	"Rift" Transliteration: "Ketsubetsu" (Japanese: 決別)	July 5, 2014 (2014-07-05)
During the Third Siege of Odawara, Hideyoshi Toyotomi has declared war on Ujimasa Hōjō at Odawara Castle. Hanbei Takenaka is shown to be gradually dying from an illness. Magoichi Saika breaches the west gate, while Ieyasu Tokugawa and Tadatsugu Sakai are caught off guard when the east gate left unguarded is soon breached by Yoshitsugu Ōtani. Kasuga encounters Sasuke Sarutobi spying from a tree outside the fortress. Masamune Date and Kojūrō Katakura make their way towards Odawara Castle, only to be intercepted by Mitsunari Ishida at Sekigahara. Ieyasu pleads for Hideyoshi to withdraw his army, in which Ieyasu declares that he would rule the land on common bonds. After an intense duel, Hideyoshi is eventually defeated by Ieyasu. Mitsunari leaves Masamune and Kojūrō critically injured before finding out that Hideyoshi was killed by Ieyasu, now branded as a traitor. Hanbei finally succumbs to his illness, leading Misunari to plot his revenge on Ieyasu.
2	"Chaos" Transliteration: "Ranse" (Japanese: 乱世)	July 12, 2014 (2014-07-12)
While carrying an unconscious Masamune on horseback, Kojūrō evades an ambush in the forest, but finds himself in the territory owned by Kenshin Uesugi. Ieyasu returns to the place where he was attacked by Shingen Takeda during the Battle of Mikatagahara, springing forth another attack between armies led by Ieyasu and Shingen. Kenshin calls Kojūrō a worthless leader and lets him continue on his journey. Sasuke fends off Ieyasu's army, while Shingen's old friend Yoshihiro Shimazu challenges Tadakatsu Honda to a duel. Shingen suddenly falls ill after bestowing his leadership to Yukimura, which forces Sasuke to call a full retreat, much to Ieyasu's surprise. Motochika Chōsokabe witnesses the aftermath of the Battle of Nakatomigawa at Shikoku seemingly caused by Ieyasu. Motonari Mōri tells Yoshitsugu of his plan to secure his territory away from Ieyasu. Oichi proclaims that the light of Ieyasu and the dark of Mitsunari will soon clash and issue forth oblivion.
3	"Alliances" Transliteration: "Doumei" (Japanese: 同盟)	July 19, 2014 (2014-07-19)
Tasking Tadatsugu to hold down the fort, Ieyasu leaves with Tadakatsu to continue his mission. Ieyasu offers Magoichi to join in his cause. In the forest, Motochika is halted by Tsuruhime while on his way to see Magoichi. As Mitsunari passes by, he picks a fight with Motochika due to their shared hatred for Ieyasu, who is then seen hovering over the forest on top of Tadakatsu. Mitsunari then confronts Magoichi for betraying her loyalty to Hideyoshi, but Magoichi states that her contract was null after Hideyoshi's death. Keiji Maeda also visits Magoichi, explaining that Ieyasu has kidnapped his sister-in-law Matsu. With that said, Magoichi ultimately decides to enter into a contract with Keiji. Motochika follows Mitsunari to Odawara Castle, where Yoshitsugu informs them that Ieyasu abducted Oichi, cajoled Ujimasa in his cause and convinced Kotarō Fūma as well. Ieyasu learns that Kenshin wants no part in forging bonds, Yukimura feels like this is a call to surrender and Masamune is fixated on trying to kill Mitsunari.
4	"Astray" Transliteration: "Meisou" (Japanese: 迷走)	July 27, 2014 (2014-07-27)
Much to Sasuke's concern, Yukimura plans to duel Kenshin in honor of Shingen. Yukimura is easily pushed into a lake by Kenshin, who shames Yukimura for learning nothing from Shingen. As Yukimura swims up to shore, Kenshin still believes that Yukimura could become Shingen's successor. Since Kenshin will not be a part of the conflict between the east and the west, he orders Kasuga to look after Sasuke. Mitsunari, Yoshitsugu and Motonari pay a visit to Hideaki Kobayakawa at Okayama Castle, where Hideaki admits to Mitsunari that Ieyasu showed up unannounced earlier in an attempt to form an alliance. Yoshitsugu and Motonari discover that Tenkai was the one who kidnapped Matsu. Back at Osaka Castle, Sasuke and Kasuga offer to form an alliance with Yoshitsugu. Instead, Sasuke is attacked by Mitsunari, while Kasuga is thwarted by Motochika. In a bidding move, Sasuke and Kasuga temporarily hold Yoshitsugu hostage while explaining that they have no affiliation with Ieyasu. Masamune and Kojūrō approach Yukimura at Ueda Castle, just as Sasuke arrives with Mitsunari. When Mitsunari fails to recall his previous fight with Masamune at Odawara Castle, Yukimura prevents Masamune from attacking Mitsunari.

Yukimura does his best to stop Masamune from getting to Mitsunari. As Mitsunari takes his leave, Sasuke shields Yukimura from getting hurt, while Kojūrō puts a stop to this senseless duel. At Osaka Castle, Yoshitsugu employs Motochika to collaborate with Mori and recruit Kanbei Kuroda, Yoshihiro and Sōrin Ōtomo, leaders from Kyushu in the south. In the Owari Domain, Ieyasu has a setback despite clarifying that Oichi is safely being held at Sunpu Castle. Later on, Ieyasu, Tadakatsu and Kotarō rescue Tsuruhime and Ujimasa from being attacked by men within the territory of Odawara. Despite Kojūrō's concern, Masamune goes en route to Sunpu Castle in order to settle the score with Ieyasu. In the Satsuma Domain, Motochika successfully recruits Yoshihiro after they briefly spar. Mori receives an awkward greeting from Sōrin in the Mori Domain (Bungo), much to the embarrassment of Muneshige Tachibana. In Ishigakibaru, Kanbei agrees to join forces with Motochika if a key is found to unlock his shackles. At Sunpu Castle, Ieyasu easily wins a fight against Masamune, while Kojūrō recalls how Masamune felt when he previously lost against Mitsunari.
6	"Declarations" Transliteration: "Sengen" (Japanese: 宣言)	August 9, 2014 (2014-08-09)
Kojūrō beats some sense into Masamune, recalling when he selfishly refused to retreat during his first battle. Yukimiura heads to Osaka Castle after proving himself worthy as a commander to Sasuke. Motochika brings Kanbei to Tsuruhime, who foresees that Kotarō has the key to unlock Kanbei's shackles. It is shown that Ieyasu, Tadatsugu and Kotarō are safeguarding Oichi at Sunpu Castle. Taking Motochika to see Keiji and Magoichi, Tsuruhime believes that Ieyasu is harboring sorrow in his heart. After debunking Motochika's claim that Ieysasu was the one who left behind a yellow banner after the Battle of Nakatomigawa, Magoichi encourages Motochika to go see Ieyasu, while Keiji offers to accompany Motochika. Yukimura fights Mitsunari at Osaka Castle for having a petty vendetta, while Masamune challenges Ieyasu to a rematch at Sunpu Castle after coming to terms with himself.

Yoshitsugu assigns Tenkai and Kazumasa Isono to assist Yukimura in rescuing Oichi. Yukimura, Sasuke, Kasuga, Tenkai, Kazumasa and Matsu head to Sunpu Castle. Motochika severs ties with Mitsunari, leading Mitsunari to question Yoshitsugu about a secret attack that was launched at Shikoku. Tenkai gathers intel that Oichi is being hold in an underground prison. However, this is a trap set by Kotarō before Keiji and Magoichi surround the area. Finding Oichi bound to a barrier of daggers inside a secluded room, Tsuruhime is saved by Kasuga just when Oichi fully awakens, breaks free and wreaks havoc. The underground prison collapses, leading to a cave underneath Sunpu Castle. Kazumasa is slashed by Tenkai, while Kasuga is held captive by Oichi. Yukimura and Sasuke escape through the cave, while Keiji and Magoichi reunite with Matsu. As Mitsunari visits Hideyoshi's grave, he briefly encounters Ieyasu, who wishes to end their conflict at their promised meeting place.

As Yukimura and Sasuke find Masamune and Kojūrō at Osaka, both Yukimura and Masamune explain the reasoning behind their respective alliances with Mitsunari and Ieyasu before parting ways. When Yukimura reports to Mitsunari about Tenkai's ulterior motive with Oichi, Mitsunari is bereft of words when Yoshitsugu was not aware of this. Ieyasu recalls when he fought alongside Mitsunari at Sekigahara in order to fend off troops from the east and the west, creating a chasm that symbolized a divided country. Both Mitsunari and Ieyasu give compelling speeches to their respective allied forces. Mitsunari honors Hideyoshi's legacy and slanders Ieyasu's name, while Ieyasu doubles down on campaigning for a united country to the point of riskily allowing anyone to switch sides of alliance.

The western and eastern forces meet at the chasm of Sekigahara. At the start of battle, the vanguard of the western and eastern forces are sent out to the battlefield. Sōrin, Hideaki, Yoshihiro, Motonari and Motochika each arrive with their armies as support. As Tadakatsu is launched into the battlefield, Yoshihiro is signaled to fight back. While Hideaki struggles to choose which alliance to join, Sōrin encourages Tadatsugu to be reborn as "Revolution". Tsuruhime is attacked by Motonari until Motochika intercepts and challenges him to a duel. Tenkai walks into the middle of the battlefield, seemingly leading remnants of the Oda clan in the form of zombies as a third force. Sasuke proceeds to fend off the third force, while Hideaki chooses to ally himself with Tenkai after witnessing his arm injury. Keiji, Matsu and Magoichi arrive in an attempt to stop Tenkai, who then summon Oichi out of hiding. Oichi remembers that Tenkai, previously known as Mitsuhide Akechi, was the one who previously killed her brother Nobunaga. Against her will, Oichi summons a dark cloud that hovers over the chasm, while Yukimura and Masamune are both sent to confront it.

While Motochika and Motonari continue to square off, Keiji, Matsu and Magoichi enter Honnō-ji Temple, where Oichi kills Tenkai by stabbing him in the back. With Oichi impervious to Magoichi's ammunition, Matsu tries to help Oichi recall fond memories of her late husband Nagamasa Azai. This distraction gives Magoichi a clear shot from behind when Keiji restrains Oichi. As a result, Oichi is finally released from her demonic spell and the third force is dispelled into thin air, allowing Sasuke to rescue Kasuga. Tsuruhime clarifies to Kanbei that a crow in the sky has the key to unlock his shackles. Masamune heads off to confront Mitsunari, while Kojūrō takes on Yoshitsugu. Challenging Ieyasu to a duel, Yukimura accuses Ieyasu of severing bonds instead of forging them. The duel ends in a draw, as Yukimura expresses his determination to fulfill his heartfelt desire of defeating Masamune someday.

Masamune pesters Mitsunari into a fated rematch. Despite Yoshitsugu's desire for the world to be engulfed in equal misery, his sympathy Mitsunari causes him to be eventually defeated by Kojūrō. While in the sky above, both Tadakatsu and Yoshihiro plummet into the ground below after a valiant match. Using the rays of the Sun, Motonari traps Motochika inside a ring of fire. This prompts Motochika to leap into action and charge straight at Motonari by casting a shadow over the Sun. Exploiting Motonari for living in solitude, Motochika garners support from his surviving crew members, finally blasting Motonari to smithereens. Kojūrō witnesses the fierce duel between Masamune and Mitsunari. Masamune proves to hold his own, but chooses to spare Mitsunari's life out of pity. Telling Yukimura that Mitsunari is easily hurt due to his pure heart, Ieyasu admits guilt to deceiving the country with his vision of shared bonds.

A green tunnel is manifested over the chasm, as Ieyasu and Mitsunari meet in the middle during a solar eclipse.

Inside the green tunnel, Ieyasu and Mitsunari face off in a fight to the finish, while Masamune and Yukimura watch from the distance. Expressing his disgust for the paradox of Ieyasu's vision for shared bonds, Mitsunari refuses to forgive Ieyasu for Hideyoshi's death. Mitsunari and Ieyasu defeat each other in a final clash, ending the battle in a draw, which dissolves the green tunnel and stops the solar eclipse. However, a tree grows in the center of the chasm. In the aftermath, Matsu reunites with her family, while Keiji decides to forgo his payment for his contract with Magoichi.
