I shall never forgive you.

—Mitsunari Ishida pre-battle

Mitsunari Ishida was a loyal general working under the leadership of Hideyoshi Toyotomi until the man who he admired most was murdered by Ieyasu Tokugawa, a man whom Mitsunari now views as a traitor for his rebellion. Intent on killing the man who brought Hideyoshi to his death, Mitsunari is approached by a new ally, Yoshitsugu Otani, and the two lead the Western Army to take down Ieyasu Tokugawa and the Eastern Army, though Yoshitsugu may have a different agenda at hand. Though Mitsunari is the main villain of the game, his intentions to kill Ieyasu are merely out of anger. Yoshitsugu takes advantage of his emotions, making Mitsunari the leader of the Western Army. Throughout his main story, Mitsunari continues to hunt down Ieyasu without looking at the big picture. Because of his position, he is referred to by the producer of the game as a fallen angel. Mitsunari fights his opponents with an Ōdachi, and, while his rival Ieyasu does have the strength, Mitsunari has the speed. His agility and small frame make him one of the fastest fighters in the game.
