Shingen was created with the purpose of being the ideal leader who could be admired by all people. The helmet featured a large white mane along the top of it, and the face carving featured both a pair of eyebrows and a mustache of matching colors. It was large, heavy-plated samurai armor in a deep red color that had a helmet with a sinister face engraved onto it. Shingen's distinctive armor allowed the strengths of Takeda's four lords to combine into a single person.Īs the character of Shingen relied entirely on the armor shared by the four generals to create the illusion of a single person, the armor possessed a very distinct, intimidating visage. This event however, is considered completely non-canon. Each of the four then join a different house, allowing Oda the chance to capture and recruit them as commanders. Fearing the fallout that would occur if the people of Takeda discovered that Shingen was a lie, the four decide to disband, causing Takeda House to immediately fall without their leadership. Rance himself then wears the armor and calls for a meeting with the four generals, who each gradually become stunned at the discovery that Rance had uncovered their biggest secret. In additional playthroughs, Rance can gain the option of attempting to assassinate Shingen with the help of Suzume, discovering the truth about his identity in the process. ![]() It was also during this time that Tourin came to recognize Rance, through his unbending determination to achieve his goals and his honesty about his intentions, as being the man who was capable of uniting the world that he believed did not exist. While Tourin did not agree with Rance's ideology, he admitted that the thinking behind Shingen was flawed from the start and that he regretted doing it.

Shingen was created for the purpose of preventing this from happening. However, at the same time they feared that if any one of them were to become the absolute leader of Takeda, they would become corrupted by the power given to them by the position and would turn into an oppressive tyrant.

In truth, Takeda Shingen did not actually exist, and was in fact simply a suit of armor worn in rotation by the four generals of Takeda House. Shingen's creation united the forces of Takeda under a single banner. He was worshiped by the people of Takeda with the reverence of a god, an image that was further increased by his mysterious nature, as no one but his four closest generals had ever seen him without his mask on.
