201

In The Legend of Ransei, Mitsuhide is one of Nobunaga's top generals, and one of the last people the Hero/Heroine needs to defeat to challenge Nobunaga himself. His junior Warlord is his daughter, Gracia.

In Mitsuhide's story, Tragic Determination, he rebels against his master, deciding that Nobunaga has strayed too far off his path of uniting Ransei. Hearing from Ranmaru of Mitsuhide's betrayal, Nobunaga challenges Mitsuhide, daring him to defeat the entirety of his army before three years pass. Upon doing so, Nobunaga admits defeat, and asks Mitsuhide to do what he could not.

Due to link caps, and most evolutions triggering on stat thresholds, certain Pokémon linked to this Warrior require high IVs to evolve.

Evolution eligibility in this table assumes the following:

  • Max Energy multiplier of 1.1× applied to stats.
  • The full range of 0-31 IVs is considered. (Default Pokémon have 15 IVs in every stat, while wild Pokémon can have 0-31 IVs)

Notes:

  • Passwords can bypass normal availability checks in any story.
  • Pokémon marked with an asterisk (*) next to their password eligibility require an unofficial password.
  • "Direct link" means linking to that exact Pokémon in the wild, as opposed to evolving a previous form of it.

What we are doing, however… Going from battle to battle without ever stopping to reconsider our motives… It is...cruel. Can such an approach really lead to a peaceful world? And even if it did, would it be a world where people and Pokémon could coexist peacefully…? There is no more time to waste. I already know the choice I must make: stop Lord Nobunaga… or wait for him to destroy the world."

Lapras
Debut PNA4

Lapras is Mitsuhide's only known Pokémon.

Trivia

  • In Tragic Determination, Mitsuhide has a special quote when fighting Nobunaga, where he says "Our enemy...is in <kingdom's name>!". This is likely a reference to the real-life Honnō-ji Incident, where Akechi Mitsuhide led a group of Oda Nobunaga's own soldiers against him, famously declaring that "The enemy is at Honnō-ji!".
    • Ironically, Tragic Determination tends to place Nobunaga in kingdoms adjacent to Mitsuhide's kingdoms, so this interaction is likely to trigger early in the episode - which goes counter to its tone of finality.
  • Mitsuhide and Hideyoshi have special quotes when battling each other in a kingdom with banners. Their Pokémon also get maximum energy when the quotes are shown. This is probably a reference to the Battle of Yamazaki, after Akechi Mitsuhide betrayed and killed Oda Nobunaga.
  • In the alpha build of Pokémon Conquest, there existed an image of Mitsuhide and his Moltres fighting Hero and his Eevee. Moltres does not exist in the final version of Conquest, though the graphic can still be found in the game files.

Historical origin

Mitsuhide is based on the real-life Akechi Mitsuhide of Japanese history, best known for his betrayal of Nobunaga. His wife was Hiroko (Tsumaki Hiroko); he had at least three daughters with her, one of them being Gracia, and another one married Hidemitsu (Akechi Hidemitsu), his cousin. Mitsutada (Akechi Mitsutada) was his cousin, too. Toshimitsu (Saitō Toshimitsu), once a retainer for Ittetsu (Inaba Yoshimichi), defected to Mitsuhide to serve as his retainer. It is unknown if Mitsuhide died in the aftermath of the Battle of Yamazaki, and he is rumored to have become Tenkai (a Buddhist monk), who served Ieyasu. However, the game treats Mitsuhide and Tenkai as two separate characters.

Mitsuhide's specialty in Ice, which is the only type supereffective against Dragon aside from Dragon itself, may be a reference to his betrayal of Nobunaga.
