Role
Episode 4- Takeda Shingnen is seen energetically battling Kenshin Uesugi for a while, to gain her part of the Crimson Armour, which at one point, causes Hideyoshi's phone to break. Oda after spectating for a while, interrupts the women's battle and halts Takeda, claiming that she will part her part of the Crimson Armour after annihilating her. Kenshin, however protects Takeda, offering her own life. Oda Nobunaga spares the two women and both of them hand their parts of the Crimson Armour to Oda Nobunaga.

Final Episode- She and Kenshin Uesugi, along other warriors, help Oda Nobunaga defeat an evil Ieyasu Tokugawa, who had launched a powerful and almost catastrophic attack on Owari, after putting on the Crimson Armour.

Relationships
Kenshin Uesugi- Kenshin and Takeda, like to out-do one another in all parts of their lives, in spite of this they seem to genuinely care about each other's lives, as proven when Kenshin protected Takeda, offering her own life instead of Takeda's, when Oda threatened to kill the woman and take her armour.
