Nobuhide Oda is the third head of the Oda clan. While he is often overshadowed today by his famous son, Nobuhide was a crafty general in his own right and was historically feared as the "Tiger of Owari". He had ambitions to unify Owari in his family name but perished before he could fulfill them. Edo period folklore tends to interpret his many military defeats as a sign of weakness, leading to the oft mistaken perception of Nobuhide's incompetence as ruler. The Nobunaga no Yabou 201X poll for 3-star officers puts him in thirteenth place.
