Nobunaga's reference in "Shabake" anime!

Enjoying my anime fix I couldn't help but to notice this subtle reference to Nobunaga, involving one of the main characters of Shabake anime: --No doubt that whatever fire and a samurai doing harakiri in the middle of it, is Nobunaga at Honnouji! No extra infos are required 😆

This guy Sasuke, actually an inugami in human form, is portrayed like an energetic and kinda rough dude, but also a dedicated servant... I wonder if during this flashback he was Ranmaru, or just one of his fellow kosho... In a sense, I really like the idea of Nobunaga being protected by ayakashi∼!
