Sengoku Rance:Canon

About
Though there are many different paths and options in Rance's adventure in JAPAN, this page attempts to chronicle the canon events and most of the characters status at the end of Sengoku Rance.

Oda House
Rance arrives in JAPAN and encounters Oda Nobunaga, Kouhime, Ranmaru and Shibata Katsuie. He tries to seduce the beautiful warrior Ranmaru, but eventually realises that she is in love with Shibata, despite the fact that he's a lolicon. Eventually, she adopts a war orphan which Shibata instantly adores, and the two marry.

Hara House
Because of Rance's actions and Princess Aki's pride, Hara Shouji soon goes to war against Oda. However the war soon goes poorly because of Aki's greed and cruelty, and Rance quickly conquers the house, taking Aki either as a sex slave or as a commander.

Ashikaga House
During the war against the fish faced Ashikaga Choushin, Rance miraculously dodges Yamamoto Isoroku's assassination attempts and eventually defeats the faction, capturing both Choushin and Isoroku.

He quickly frees the beautiful Isoroku and decides to seduce her, and so happily agrees to help her find her brother, however they soon find out together that he was killed years ago by Choushin's men. When Isoroku was about to despair over the destruction of her family name, Rance pointed out that she could restore it by having a son, and Rance eventually convinces her that as a great conqueror he would be a more than fitting father. Though Isoroku initially only sleeps with him in hopes of ending up pregnant, she soon grows attached to him, and ends up pregnant with Rangi a short time before Rance leaves JAPAN.

Choushin is eventually freed as well, and even though Isoroku considers killing him, she eventually gives up on it, deciding that revenge at this point would be useless. Though Choushin possessed the Emperor Ring, one of the Three Treasures, Rance ends up stealing it away. After the war, Choushin is still part of Kouhime's entourage.

Tokugawa House
When the Tokugawa House goes at war with Oda despite Ieyasu's patience, the raccoon dogs are soon pushed back, and the Tokugawa commanders, Honda Tadakatsu, Li Naomasa, Sakakibara Yasumasa, Sakai Tadatsugu and Hattori Hanzou are eventually captured by Oda. Finally Oda defeats the capital and Ieyasu himself, though he survives the confrontation and leaves without a trace.

Rance discovers that before the raccoon dogs, another family ruled the region, and their princess was captured and imprisoned by Ieyasu. Rance finds and rapes the shackled princess Tokugawa Sen before freeing her, but eventually recruits her by promising to give her the battles she craves. As Senhime becomes a fierce Oda commander, Rance keeps pressuring her to have sex with him again, though Sen refuses every time as she only has passion for battle. Eventually however, she makes a deal with Rance: she will fall in love with him if Rance makes her fight in three losing battles, so she can experience the thrill of desperation in war. Rance reluctantly agrees, but on the third such battle Sen is attacked and almost raped, before she is saved by Rance. Both as part of their deal and because she really did admire the way he saved her in the middle of battle, she agrees to share his bed once more.

After Rance leaves JAPAN, she decides to become a mercenary, so she can continue indulging herself in the thrill of battle (and eventually encounters Kanami and Suzume during their quest)

The five raccoon dogs are released and recruited by Oda, and remained as Kouhime's entourage when Rance leaves.

Iga House
The Iga family was founded by Inukai and other ninjas of the Oda faction who had been enraged by the way Gumo Danjou treated them, and so were still keeping an eye on their former lords. When Rance first arrives, Inukai sends the kunoichi Suzume to kill Rance, but she finds him to be too much fun and instead joins Oda.

Iga and Oda eventually go to war, but as the battles drag on, Rance decides he should just assassinate Inukai, and looks for him with Suzume's help. However just as Rance is about to give up since he has no idea where Inukai is, the ninja king arrives and attacks Rance. When Rance wins and gets ready to finish off Inukai, Suzume shows up and convinces Inukai to join Oda instead, insisting that Oda had no idea of Danjou's actions.

With the help of Oda, Inukai starts searching for Gumo Danjou and his Silver Eye Sect, even killing Danjous doppelganger, but his quest ends when Suzume somewhat anticlimactically finds and kills most of the Sect including its leader.

Suzume grows quite close to Rance, as the kunoichi protects him from many assassins by day while she uses her sexual techniques on him by night. Rance eventually proposes for her to become his personal ninja, an idea she seems to like, but when Rance first departs she stays and helps take care of Oda and Kouhime.

Miko Institute
When Rance finds the Miko Institute, he is simply enjoying the fact he has new women to sleep with. But after he finds out that all of  JAPAN is under the threat of Orochi and that the creature killed numerous mikos, Rance gathers his most powerful warriors and seeks to destroy him. After a grueling fight, Rance and crew destroy Orochi but at the cost of Tamagushi Fuuka whose life force is connected to Orochi's and dies.

Natori, the leader of the Miko Institute, joins the Oda House and serves as one of it's commanders. She is the first to recognize Isoroku's pregnancy.

Uesugi House
When the Oda and Uesugi go to war, the Goddess of War Uesugi Kenshin tries to win in a single stroke by charging and killing the enemy commander, but instead loves him at first sight and flees the battle. As the war dragged on, her uncle Kensei betrays and captures Kenshin and her subordinate Naoe Ai and tries to make a deal with Oda, but Rance kills the messenger, and soon frees Kenshin and kills her uncle.

Rance is stunned to find out that Kenshin loves him and is initially quite shy, but they eventually sleep together and Kenshin helps him throughout his wars.

Her subordinate Naoe also falls for Rance and Kenshin doesn't appear to have a problem with this. Naoe later goes on a journey and finds one of the emperor items.

When Rance leaves, Kenshin resigns her title as head of the Uesugi and trains herself in the mountains in case another disaster were to befall JAPAN.

Houjou House
Though Houjou Souun tried to avoid it, his house eventually goes to war with Oda. His fiancee Nanjou Ran tries to help, and she eventually unleashes the powerful creature Suzaku, an apostle of Xavier. Houjou Souun forbids her from using it for fear of her life, but she still fights and is soon captured by Oda. However, Houjou barely has time to grieve as he ends up fighting and is trapped with powerful ogres in the Mamoushi Oil Field.

Meanwhile, Ran accepts fighting for Oda in the hopes of finding Houjou, but when they conquer the House she hears of his disappearance. She convinces Rance to help her rescue him, but as she sees him driven into a corner, she uses Suzaku to wipe out the ogres thus saving Houjou. However just as they are about to embrace each other, Gigai bursts forth, instantly killing Ran.

Houjou from then on fights for Oda in the hopes of avenging himself on Gigai and the demon, and when Rance eventually conquers JAPAN and leaves, Houjou retires from the head of the House and instead devotes himself to leading the diviners in protecting JAPAN.

Takeda House
After Rance takes over most of JAPAN, the four great generals of Takeda take notice and the armored and undefeated leader of the House, Takeda Shingen soon declares war. As Takeda falls under Oda, the hot-blooded Baba Shouen decides to do one last suicidal sortie, and is soon followed by Kousaka Yoshikage  and Yamagata Masakage. Only the pragmatic Sanada Tourin remains, and soon reveals that their leader Takeda Shingen doesn't exist and is just an invention of the generals taking turns wearing the armor. After sometime in prison, Tourin becomes a commander of Oda.

After Oda's conquest of JAPAN, Tourin remains as the chief strategist of the reunited country, though he still mourns his fallen comrades.

Tenshi Sect
The sect's leader Seigan eventually finds out about Xavier's return when Byakko escapes his seal and tries to prevent it. When he finds out the Dark Lord possessed Nobunaga's body, Seigan joins forces with Kentarou to defeat him, but fails. After being saved by Rance and his army, Seigen goes on a training mission in the mountains with Genri and two of the blind sisters.

Takuga House
Though the banished inhabitants of Death Country used to be under Houjou House jurisdiction, its citizens rallied under the leadership of the Kawanoe  siblings and the two humans cursed by Youkai, Gon and Sakamoto Ryouma.

They soon escape Death Country by taking over a region of the Mouri House, and keep it by entering an alliance with them despite Mouri Motonari's condescension. However Oda's invasion soon forces them to retreat to Death Country once more, where Ryouma ends up attacked and raped by ogres though Rance soon saves Ryouma. The Takuga commanders are then recruited into the Oda army and with the help of Ryouma, Rance finds and kills the youkai that cursed Mouri Motonari, undoing his curse and banishing his monstrous strength.

Ryouma developed a fixation for Kouhime, finding her adorable, and remained with Oda after the war to help take care of her.

Mouri House
Motonari and his daughters eventually go to war with the Oda house, with the daughters being captured one by one. Rance and his army kill the Youkai that gave Motonari his increased strength and returns him to his original small stature and captures him. Motonari eventually dies after his curse is lifted but due to his lust for battle, he returns as a ghost.

Though Rance ends up sleeping with all three of the Mouri sisters, Kobayakawa Chinu is killed when Genbu is released from her body.

Imagawa House
Despite their lack of interest in battle, the Imagawa House eventually goes to war with the Oda. Later it is revealed that the leader of the house is actually an old man dressed up as the hanny king, who begs Rance to save his daughter. Afterwards he lives in peace with his daughter.

Asai Asakura House
In response to Oda's expansion, Asakura sends his daughter Yukihime to negotiate, but after Rance gropes her breasts, Yoshikage declares war on Oda. Eventually they are defeated and though Yukihime at first flees and plots her revenge on Rance, her father eventually convinces her to join Oda, and she  eventually falls in love with Rance.

Tanegashima House
The head of Tanegashima House, Tanegashima Shigehiko, with the help of Copandon Dott gained Maria's Tulip series prototype and developed a new weapon based on it, the musket, which quickly spread across JAPAN. In particular a commander of Tanegashima, Yuzuhara Yuzumi turned out to be very proficient with it, but they were both captured and recruited by Oda.

Shigehiko eventually met his idol, Maria Custard, and built a statue in her honor, and at the end of the war kept on building muskets for JAPAN.

Though she was initially uninterested in sex, Rance eventually "punished" Yuzumi, and when he realised that she found kids adorable, convinced her to keep sleeping with him in the hopes of one day ending up pregnant. As Rance had for most of his adventures in JAPAN a contraception spell, Yuzumi never ended up pregnant much to her annoyance.
