Also, his behavior which looks as if he had let Ieyasu die without attempting to help him was not an act appropriate for a person who was an experienced warrior of the Oda family, and it was possible that this might have led to a problem for all of the Oda family if he had let the Tokugawa family become the enemy after Ieyasu's death, or if the number of allies had decreased.
また、同盟者である家康を見殺しにしたとも見えるこの行動は、織田家の宿将ともいえる人物の行いとしては適切とはいえず、家康が死んだ場合の徳川家が敵側へと回る可能性を上げたり、同盟する者を減らすなどの織田家全体に関わる問題に発展した可能性がある。
