Nobusada appears to be an old, wise and loving woman, she is only seen in a flashback story Nobunaga was telling to Hideyoshi in the sixth episode. She describes women's hearts as being like rivers, as women will often feel the need to fight back in times of dangers. In the finale Oda told Hideyoshi, that she taught her what this quote meant.

She gave Nobunaga some important advice and gave her a smoking cane which she can often be seen gripping onto throughout the anime.
