==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 , where led a group of '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 , after betrayed and killed .
* In the alpha build of Pokémon Conquest, there existed an image of Mitsuhide and his fighting Hero and his . 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 of Japanese history, best known for his betrayal of Nobunaga. His wife was Hiroko (); he had at least three daughters with her, one of them being Gracia, and another one married Hidemitsu (), his cousin. Mitsutada () was his cousin, too. Toshimitsu (), once a retainer for Ittetsu (), defected to Mitsuhide to serve as his retainer. It is unknown if Mitsuhide died in the aftermath of the , and he is rumored to have become (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.
