Fujitaka HOSOKAWA, who had believed that 'Murashige had an intention to raise rebellion,' criticized Murashige ARAKI, who suddenly abandoned the castle and family and did a moonlight flit with tea utensils, by composing a tanka meaning 'Although Araki drew a bow against his lord, but a nock was out of order, he could not stay in Arioka-jo Castle.'
また「村重に反意あり」としていた細川藤孝は、「君に引く荒木ぞ弓の筈ちがい、居るにいられぬ有岡の城」という歌を詠んで、突然城と家族を捨て茶道具と共に夜逃げした荒木村重を皮肉った。
