#i'm honestly a sw3 girl and never got into either nobunaga or mitsuhide so sw5 has been an Experience

[stardustbot]

samurai warriors 5 feels like it has two parallel story lines: 

- Nobunaga doing Nobunaga things 

- Mitsuhide collecting a dating sim’s worth of boyfriends during his travels, bringing them with him when he hooks up with his ex again, and then his weirdo yandere manipulative gaslighting bastard of an ex slowly killing off his harem

I mean. I’m not not enjoying it. 

Honestly though, there’s a handful of fic I would die for in this rebootverse. 

- Saito Toshimitsu managing to convince Mitsuhide to take a break, just a little one, a moment to calm his nerves and hone his blade stronger for the next battle when he fails to get Mitsuhide to retire except that short break to a quiet country estate drags longer and longer and they get to live out a long and happy retirement raising ducks or something and the rest of Mitsuhide’s harem occasionally drop by with gifts. 

- Nobunaga on Nohime and Mitsuhide and how similar they are, their pale skin and ink dark hair, their stillness and quiet determination. Nohime forever young, a spring blossom frozen in bloom in his memory and Mitsuhide a different sort of purity, clean and sharp as a blade that Nobunaga must hone. 

- Motochika as part of Mitsuhide’s harem. Please. Please. 

- Mitsuhide’s praise kink and a moment with each of his harem members just telling him he’s a good boy jajkkwejk
