I was smitten for Kageie in this event. 😍

[samurailoveballadhistory]

There is a quote attributed to Kenshin describing Kageie like this: “If only Izumi no Kami (Kageie) had a little more sense, who could stand against him in all the seven districts of Echigo?” Basically, despite his military prowess, he’s... not exactly the brightest bulb of the bunch. 

And so that might have been what inspired the staff to present him as this somewhat unhinged character in the game. It is a sensible enough take of “not wise”. They already had the “dumb meathead who likes to fight” trope with Yuimura, Kageie had to be done differently.

A Jinpachi event story, finally. After so long. It's embarrassing that this is the first Jinpachi ES I try hjfdscbs

Ai:

Kageie: Um...... you want a beer?

Kanetsugu: She's four!

Kageie: I don't know, what am I supposed to do with her!?

pocket sized kageie likes taking naps on the windowsill with the curtains open. when others complain about how he doesn’t go outside enough, he says he gets enough vitamin d from ‘sunbathing’ every day.

Sengoku Night Blood - Kakizaki Kageie

[Ikesen Historivia] Battle Standards

So, this is obviously like this for drama and plot purposes. Not to mention that in Ikesen-verse the armies often operate as almost singular units in the field, but realistically, if it’s the army of “some distant territory”, the battle standards they’ll be using would be one that belongs to whichever lord who’s actually ruling there. They’re not going to use “Oda” war banners.

In the first place, there’s no singular “Oda banner”. Every commander has their own banners to declare their own prestige in battle. Hideyoshi’s banners is going to be different from Nobunaga’s personal one, for example. Heck, Nobunaga’s sons and brothers all were known to have their own banners, so there’s not even an “Oda family” hereditary banner of some sort.

If you managed to gather enough intelligence or has been duking it out with the same clan over and over, you’d know exactly which commander you’re facing on the field. 

There’s this legend about how one of Kenshin’s generals is so famously scary on the field, that the enemy would just immediately turn and run and not even bother fighting when they see his banners. Not “Oh no it’s the Uesugi army” as a whole, it’s just that one guy in particular. His name’s Kakizaki Kageie, and sadly he’s not in Ikesen, but you know. The funniest part of this is that his war banners is a daikon. 

Anyway, real life examples. This was Nobunaga’s:

And this was Hideyoshi’s:

@endlessdelirium allow me to answer this question more fully lol.

So, it's possible he naturalized. But in his flashback episode he was introducing himself as "Nicolai Asakura" to his classmates so maybe that was always his name? Did he just change it as he told the story? I'm not sure lol. I'm really not sure why he has a Japanese surname.

The only requirement for a "Japanese name" when you naturalize is that it's in Japanese characters, so his name being ニコライ in katakana would be allowed. He wouldn't have needed to change his surname to be "Japanese" either.

But the big thing, and probably the reason they used it, is that everyone at Manpuku are named after famous people from the sengoku era.

Sanada Kentarou = Sanada Yukimura

Ishida Naoki = Ishida Mitsunari

Asai Haru = Asai Nagamasa

Kakizaki Makoto = Kakizaki Kageie

Yamanaka Daisuke = Yamanaka Yukimori

Imagawa Tsuyoshi = Imagawa Yoshimoto

Nicolai Asakura = Asakura Yoshikage

Manda Fukuko = Mitsuta Yasutoshi (no English page), Mitsuta has the same kanji (満田) but a different reading.

Ukita Ren = Ukita Hideie

There might be something going on with the Twilight characters as well but it was less easy for me to figure out where their names came from.

Warriors Orochi: The Recollective Redux Part 3.2: Wei Side Stages

To unlock Zhenji, defeat all sorcerers and the imposter Cao Pi within 10 minutes of the start of battle. Make sure you get all these goals before defeating Dong Zhuo. Help Zhenji clear the enemies around her if you can.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Tadakatsu Honda. To impress him, rescue his two sons, Tadamasa and Tadatomo, and defeat Lu Bu by yourself (no kill-stealing!).

With the news that Cao Cao was still alive, Orochi became enraged and challenged Wei to a battle to end all battles.

Kojirō Sasaki and a generic officer will appear in the northwest as reinforcements. Hisahide Matsunaga and two more generic officers will arrive in the northeast just as Sun Ce arrives, which is either when Cao Cao’s plan is successful (they would originally not appear in this case) or when 10 minutes have passed and the plan isn’t successful yet or has failed. Hisahide’s unit is a fire attack unit, so if they are not defeated in a few minutes, all the ships in the east will go up in flames.

Orochi will appear in this battle if Chapter 8 has been cleared.

This is one of four battles required to unlock Lu Bu. To impress him, just defeat him without running away from him.

Samurai Love Ballad Party - "Altared States" Battle Event

[samurailoveballadhistory]

This is also a famous legend, one associated with Kageie’s death. 

The legend is presented as-is in the route, minus, of course, Kageie being killed. 

Kageie had sold some horses and they were bought up by Nobunaga at a high price. Nobunaga said that Echigo horses were fine quality, and sent Kageie a thank you letter. Since he did not report this, or at least does not immediately report it, Kenshin got enraged when he caught wind of it and executed Kageie.

I cannot find a citation of what is the source of the legend.

There is an alternative version circulating online that said that this is all planned, and Nobunaga purposely sent that letter to implicate Kageie. The game is running with this version of the legend. If I recall correctly, this version used to be on Wikipedia (Voltage writers’ favourite source of info!), but it has since been changed.

There is also another similar legend written in Kagekatsu-kou Ichidai Ryaku-ki 景勝公一代略記. It claimed that Kageie had marched out for battle with Kenshin, but somehow rumours started circulating that he was in league with the Oda. Kenshin then executed him for treason. This version is also considered rather dubious because the text claims this took place in 1575. The Uesugi is still on good terms with the Oda at this point, and thus this narrative does not make sense.

Some speculated that this is a case of mixed-up identity, and the one executed for colluding with the Oda was actually Kageie’s son, while Kageie himself just died of natural causes.
