Japanese: 一揆の総指揮をとっていた本願寺佐堯や下間頼旦は弾丸に倒れたが、騙し討ちに激怒した一揆兵は捨て身の反撃に出て寄せ手本陣に突入、支えきれず信広は討ち死にした。

Japanese: この場合秀綱が織田家を継承したとすると、女系ではあるが信広の血統に織田家の正統が移る。
English: If Nobumasa (Nobunaga's eldest son, who was born out of wedlock but later adopted by Nobunaga) became head of the Nobuhiro family, it means that the position of head of the main line of the Danjonojo family was passed to the eldest brother in subsequent generations; because both heirs were treated as legitimate, this adoption is highly probable if the brothers Yoshisato and Hidetsuna actually existed.
Japanese: 祖父の兄弟順、信長庶長子信正が信広の家を相続しているとすると父の兄弟順でも兄系が弾正忠家の嫡流となり、相応に正当性のある措置となることから、義郷、秀綱兄弟が実在したとするとこの養子縁組も行われていた可能性が高い。

Japanese: 八坂本では、巴を追ってきた敵将を返り討ちにした後、義仲に落ちるように言われ、後世を弔うことが最後の奉公であると諭されて東へ向かい行方知れずとなったとされる。
