| | |-|Oda Clan Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Fukushima Ruins, Izumi Settsu and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Yasuke! Do you have something for me?'' |
| | Yasuke handed him the kamon. |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Hm. It is easy to recognize the crest of the Oda clan. One of them at least.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''Other crests or other clans? '' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Both. Before Lord Nobunaga launched his campaign to unite the land, he faced opposition within his own clan. Some refused to acknowledge his leadership and declared themselves independent branches of the Oda clan.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''Will those divisions continue now that he is dead?'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Lord Nobunaga united all three Oda clans. If only he could have done the same for this land.'' |

| *Akechi Clan Kamon (Sakamoto Castle, Omi) | | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you.'' |
| *Niwa Clan Kamon (Tsuruga Castle, Wakasa) | | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Hashiba. A new clan name Lord Hideyoshi created borrowing the "ha" and the "shiba" from generals he knew.'' |
| *Bessho Clan Kamon (Miki Castle, Yamashiro) | | *'''Yasuke:''' ''People can do that? Invent a new clan? '' |
| *Akiyama Clan Kamon (Uda Matsuyama Castle, Yamashiro) | | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Some can. Lord Hideyoshi once served Lord Nobunaga as his father served Nobunaga's father. Though Lord Hideyoshi rose much, much higher.'' |
| *Tsutsui Clan Kamon (Koriyama Castle, Yamashiro) | | *'''Yasuke:''' ''Now he will need to carry much more than sandals. Do you think the name Hashiba will ever rival that of Oda?'' |
| *Shibata Clan Kamon (Genbao Fort, Wakasa) | | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''It would not surprise me if Lord Hideyoshi soon takes on yet another name to match his growing ambition.'' |

| | |-|Akechi Clan Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Sakamoto Castle, Omi and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Akechi. A kamon rarely displayed these days, tainted by Mitsuhide's betrayal of Lord Nobunaga. A shameful end to what could have been a glorious military career. Such is the Way of Heaven.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I know little of the man prior to my time with Lord Nobunaga.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Not much is known of his origins, but his courage and... past loyalty were unmatched. He even helped defend Ashikaga Yoshiaki after Lord Nobunaga made him shogun. For all the good it did.'' |
| | |
| | |-|Niwa Clan Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Tsuruga Castle, Wakasa and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Niwa, a tributary of the Kodama clan, brought to new glory by the actions of Niwa Nagahide.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I know of Lord Nagahide. One of Lord Nobunaga's generals.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''A true samurai. He oversaw the construction of Azuchi Castle, and Lord Nobunaga showered him with gifts.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''A mixed blessing. Lord Nobunaga's generosity to some could draw resentment from others.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Not so for Nagahide. His loyalty was unquestioned, lasting long after Lord Nobunaga's death, when others only saw opportunity.'' |
| | |
| | |-|Bessho Clan Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Miki Castle, Yamashiro and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''The Bessho clan is not what it was. Nagaharu made an enemy of Lord Nobunaga and that was the end of him.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''Do you know why they were at odds?'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Hubris? Some say Nagaharu could not accept the low-born Lord Hideyoshi as his equal. But I would not put such hearsay in my chronicles. He died honorably, taking his own life to save his men.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''A good death commands respect.'' |

| | |-|Akiyama Clan Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Uda Matsuyama Castle, Yamashiro and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''The Akiyama clan was very close and very loyal to the Takeda.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have heard little of that clan.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''And you are likely to learn little more. When the Takeda fell, the Akiyamas' fortune fell with them.'' |
| | |
| | |-|Tsutsui Clan Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Koriyama Castle, Yamashiro and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Ah, the crest of Tsutsui Junkei. He brought his clan much honor when he won control of Yamato province.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''Lord Junkei has the reputation of a careful man. '' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Yes, and Lord Hideyoshi should take care in how he deals with Junkei. Loyalty cannot be taken for granted.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''In uncertain times, loyalty bends the knee to survival.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Indeed.'' |
| | |
| | |-|Shibata Clan Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Genbao Fort, Wakasa and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you. Is there something wrong? Is that crest not to your liking?'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''It is a fine kamon. The Shibata clan.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I did not recognize it, but I am familiar with the clan.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Shibata Katsuie was loyal to Lord Nobunaga. It is a shame he fell out with Lord Hideyoshi over the succession.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''Lord Nobunaga has left a complicated legacy.'' |
| | |
| | |-|Ikko Ikki Kamon= |
| | Yasuke located a kamon at Negoro-ji, Kii and returned to Gyuichi. |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I have brought another kamon for you.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''The Ikko ikki. This crest does not represent a clan, but a movement. One even Lord Nobunaga could not ignore.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''It does not suit your collection?'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Oh, do not mistake me! All kamon have a place in history, whoever they represent. The Ikko ikki were admirable in their ability to resist one as formidable as Lord Nobunaga. Their efforts were misguided, in my opinion, but one must respect the strength of their conviction.'' |
| | |
| | </tabber> |
| | |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''Will this be enough to complete your collection?'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''It will never be complete so long as there are stories to be told. But it will suffice for now. You have my gratitude, samurai.'' |
| | *'''Yasuke:''' ''I am honored to have shared in your work. Perhaps you will put my name to paper someday.'' |
| | *'''Gyuichi:''' ''Oh, you have made your mark, Yasuke. Never doubt that.'' |
