		In September of 1561, Uesugi Kenshin left his Kasugayama fortress with 18,000 warriors, determined to destroy Takeda Shingen.
		Uesugi Kenshin himself burst into the headquarters, attacking Takeda Shingen who, unprepared for such an event, parried with his signalling fan as best as he could, and held Kenshin off long enough for one of his retainers to spear Kenshin's mount and drive him off.

	Shingen Vs Kenshin
		Uesugi Kenshin was always primarily a soldier rather than an administrator (Turnbull, 2003 p19), which stood in marked contrast with Shingen’s image as an able and innovative administrator.
		Kenshin meanwhile was quite the consummate politician (and general) in securing first the leadership of his Nagao family, then control of the Uesugi clan.
		Uesugi Kenshin was shown loyalty among the generals of his clan from an early age - at fourteen he was encouraged to challenge his elder brother Harukage for leadership of the Nagao clan.

		Uesugi Kenshin was a real man at heart and soul, though he fights against Takeda Shingen, he cried aloud when he heard about his 'beloved' enemy's death (just like Kenshin's feeling to his old adversary, Shinsengumi).
		When Kenshin heard about the dilemma which his enemy endured, he tried the best he could to get enough salt from his own region and sent it to Shingen.
		Although Kenshin was in a war state against Shingen, he wants to fight fairly.

		The film's climax involves his strategic battle with Uesugi Kenshin (上杉謙信 / 1530-1578), Daimyo of Echigo (越後) Province (contemporary Niigata Prefecture) whose territory lies on the Western coast of Japan.
		In terms of this film's narrative, it is historical fact that the military exploits of Takeda Shingen allowed the expansion of his rule from the eastern province of Kai through several Western provinces, until finally reaching the Westernmost, sea-side province of Echigo controlled by the renowned Uesugi Kenshin.
		Historians generally look back and deem Oda's luck as superior to his mililtary power, since both Takeda and Uesugi died in their prime (in events unrelated to the current film).
