Sengoku Rance:Character clears

This article is designed to give guides for how to clear commanders.

For information on how to recruit a commander, see Walkthrough.

For information on what stats and Skills the commander has when encountered or recruited, see Commanders.

For tips on using the commander, see Commander Tips.


 * A cleared character gives 2 points to the score, and gains 1 Affection whenever deployed with Rance (only one character can get +1 Affection this way from each battle). Their points are negated if they're missing from the roster at the end of the game. Named characters' clears are recorded in the Clear Game Report even if they're removed from the roster afterwards.
 * Among generic commanders, young girls—by appearance, age 15 to 29—can be character cleared (by raising them to Love). Male generic commanders may only be character cleared after getting a sex-change in Morocco. However, male generic commanders on the Clear Game Report (except Matsuo Bashou) cannot be sex-changed.
 * Unless stated otherwise, talking to a character increases his/her Affection by 1. (H scenes give no Affection boost.)
 * Generally speaking, when instructed to talk to a character, you're meant to trigger a purple event; wait a turn if there isn't one available. Unless you know what you're doing, do not waste time with colorless events.
 * Some events, i.e. Turn Restricted Events, cannot be triggered on the same turn.

Non-Clearable Characters
The following are characters who cannot be cleared:
 * Kouhime (織田 香) (she never rises above Trust).
 * Uesugi Kenshin (上杉 謙信)
 * Yamamoto Isoroku (山本 五十六) (despite her dialogue, she never rises above Trust).
 * Masou Shizuka (魔想 志津香) (she never rises above Hate). If you do not have Maria, she will leave either as a start of turn event or as her highest priority event when talking to her normally. Be warned that aside from her generic event, joining event, and her leaving event, all of her character events are Turn Restricted Events that can only happen if the turn count is exactly two greater than a multiple of four e.g. turns 6, 10, 14, ....
 * Gracia (she never rises above Trust).
 * Takakura Kamei (alias) (高倉 仮名) (she never rises above Trust).
 * Ouka Toki (凰火 朱鷺) (due to a glitch, she cannot even have a conversation with Rance).

かなみ Kentou Kanami

 * Raping her will make her leave and gives no SAT.


 * 1) Talk to her at 7 Hate to get to Normal.
 * 2) Talk to her after receiving Sex Ticket from Maria (Satisfaction +5, this is a colorless event). You do not need to talk to her to get the H-Scene as it can occur as a beginning of turn event without having talked to her at all. This can also occur if she is still at 0 Hate but must be done before step 4 or else she will not go to Trust.
 * 3) Do the purple event 'Have Kanami Scout' in Edo or Kazusa 2000 to do this, you do not need to have conquered either of them, but in order to get the option to do the event, you will need at least one territory in the province where you want to do the event. This must be done before step 5 or else she will not go to Love.
 * 4) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 5) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love.

マリア Maria Custard

 * Requires Tanegashima Shigehiko.
 * Optional event: At any point after step 2 where If you have at least 3 spare National Power and a space in your roster and Maria has attended at least 6 battles (even 6 floors of a dungeon will do), Kasumi will join.
 * Optional event: If Maria is in your commander list, triggering the Kaguyahime event in Mikawa will result in an optional event if you have already met Kaguyahime and have not found her three items. However, this event will not give any reward (not even the healing) and will therefore waste an Action Fan.
 * 1) Talk to her once, and obtain Sex Ticket.
 * 2) Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) Character clear Tanegashima Shigehiko (may be done earlier).
 * 4) Talk to her for a H scene. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 5) Talk to her at 7 Love.

レイラ Leila Grecni

 * Requires Uesugi Kenshin.
 * After the player has seen the event where Kurohime releases the seals on Xavier, finishing any battle against the Demon Army which ends with Leila alive and having strictly less than 25% of her maximum number of troops remaining (accounting for any increases in troop numbers which have happened as a result of the player winning the battle) will cause an event to play in which Leila's unit will be permanently lost (assuming that no other event takes priority over this). This event does not happen in the Kenshin route and the H-scene that requires it will not trigger in the Demon King route.
 * 1) Talk to her once.
 * 2) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 3) Talk to her at 4 or more Trust. Requires Kenshin higher leveled than her.
 * 4) Talk to her again at 4 or more Trust. (Satisfaction +5)

リズナ Rizna Lanfebit

 * Power-up events have higher precedence than normal events.
 * 1) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her thrice. All of these are Turn Restricted Events.
 * 2) Talk to her at 6 Love. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) H her in Rance's room (May take many turns as it is has lower precedence over some of the other girls).
 * 4) Find the dungeon item, Sex Medicine. It drops similarly to how Ogre Bones do. See Items for details.
 * 5) Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)

ウルザ Uruza Planeis

 * 1) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 2) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her in Izumo.
 * 3) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once. (An event will appear where Rance and Uruza watch a firework show together at the travelling carnival)
 * 4) Deploy Rance with her in battle. (Satisfaction +5)

マジック Magic the Gandhi

 * 1) Talk to her once.
 * 2) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once.
 * 3) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 4) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 5) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her at 7 Love, and obtain Rance's Love. (Satisfaction +5)

健太郎 Ogawa Kentarou

 * Once he is cleared, he can learn Kentarou-kun Slash as a Satisfaction Bonus.
 * It is possible to find Miki without talking to him, making him impossible to clear.
 * 1) Talk to him once while Miki is missing.

乱丸 Ranmaru

 * Requires Shibata Katsuie.
 * Conflicts with Shibata Katsuie's character clear. Specifically, picking the first option in step 2 of Shibata's character clear will make it impossible for you to trigger the first required purple event in step 5 of Ranmaru's character clear.


 * 1) Talk to her once.
 * 2) Talk to her after deploying her with Shibata Katsuie in battle.
 * 3) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 4) Talk to her after Turn 60.
 * 5) Talk to her twice. Deploying her with Shibata Katsuie will now give them +50% ATK and DEF buffs. Note that for her to get +1 Affection bonus from army battles, she must be deployed with both Katsuie AND Rance.

柴田勝家 Shibata Katsuie

 * Conflicts with Ranmaru's character clear. Specifically, the first talking to in step 5 of her clear will make it impossible for you to trigger step 2 in Shibata's character clear.
 * Requires Kouhime.
 * If you have not entered a route, have seen Shibata's default colourless event (i.e. the event that can only occur prior to Ranmaru's character clear, in which he tells Rance that he's going to go teach martial arts to an elementary school), and have seen Oda's gourd break, Shibata will have two optional purple events in which you are giving some choices. Note that the second event will not trigger unless the player has repeated Shibata's colourless event after having seen his first optional purple event.
 * Picking the first option in the first event will put an end to this chain of events.
 * Picking the second option in the first event will do nothing on its own, but is a prerequisite for the second event.
 * If Owari's NP is not at its maximum (30), picking the first option in the second event will increase Owari's NP by 1 and end this chain of events. If Owari's NP is at its maximum then picking the first option in the second event will do nothing other than end this chain of events.
 * Picking the second option in the second event will give a Game Over.
 * 1) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 2) * Warning: If unlocked, the optional purple events with Shibata (described above) will take priority over this event and grant him +1 affection, meaning that a 7 Normal Shibata can be reset to a 0 Normal Shibata if said optional events have been unlocked but have not been completed when he is spoken to at 7 Normal.
 * 3) Enter Kenshin or Ran route and talk to him afterwards. When given a choice, pick the first option (the second option serves no purpose other than rendering Shibata unclearable and thus preventing his conflict with Ranmaru's character clear), this will give him 1000 troops and turn him into an important character (meaning he cannot be killed or fired).

玉籤風華 Tamagushi Fuuka

 * Requires Natori.
 * She cannot be character cleared in the Kenshin route.
 * Conflicts with Natori's character clear.


 * 1) Talk to her once.
 * 2) Talk to her after conquering 3 provinces. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) Talk to her after visiting the Miko Institute twice.
 * 4) Talk to her once. Must have Natori recruited.
 * 5) Enter a non-Kenshin route.
 * 6) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust. Must have Natori at Trust.
 * 7) Talk to her once. Pick the first/third option.
 * 8) Talk to Natori once.
 * 9) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love.

月光 Gekkou

 * If you have Omachi, there is an optional event. There is another if you enter the Ran route or Isoroku route (no affection boost).
 * Talk to him once if you have Shibata Katsuie (optional).
 * Deploying character cleared Gekkou alone will automatically win you a battle. He will be lost afterwards. Note: This will not work for the Takeda Blitz or Mouri's All-Out Battle. It is suspected that it will not work for any battle that has an event immediately before it.
 * 1) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.

原昌示 Hara Shouji

 * Conflicts with Akihime's character clear.
 * In clearing Hara Shouji, you will never see a scene where Sill appears, however she is required due to her potential to appear in Shouji's scenes.
 * 1) When conquering the Hara House, pick the second option to put Akihime in the harem. This is automatically done on your first playthrough or if your National Power isn't sufficient to recruit her.
 * 2) Talk to him at 7 Hate to get to Normal; pick the second option (requires Sill, despite her not appearing).
 * 3) * If you pick the first option, Hara Shouji will become impossible to clear and upon talking to him at 7 Normal, he will be replaced by a clearable generic female unit called Hara Sanya who is otherwise identical to him except for being recruited at 0 Normal.
 * 4) ** Technically speaking, the game doesn't recruit a new unit (and therefore this change is not exploitable). Instead, it replaces the Shouji's name, graphics, affection, and gender.
 * 5) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 6) At any point after Step 1, visit Rance's room until you have H-ed Akihime two more times (up to and including the H-scene where Rance has a man watch him H Akihime).
 * 7) * These H-scenes are only available on even-numbered turns.
 * 8) * There is no randomness in triggering these scenes. Broadly speaking, if you have not seen a girl's generic H-scene in Rance's room yet, then the game will always play that scene before any others, subject only to where these scenes appear in the game's list. Akihime's scenes in Rance's room are at the very bottom of this list. As a consequence, it is likely that you will have to either H Akihime early on in the game or visit Rance's room many times if you want to trigger her scenes.
 * 9) * There is a third and final scene with the same mechanics and requirements, but it also requires Ashikaga Choushin to be recruited. It is not needed for any character clears.
 * 10) Talk to him at 7 Trust.

阿樹姫 Akihime

 * Conflicts with Hara Shouji's character clear.
 * 1) When conquering the Hara House, pick the first option (only possible in a 2nd playthrough).
 * 2) Talk to her once.
 * 3) Talk to her at 7 Hate to get to Normal.
 * 4) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 5) Talk to Ashikaga Choushin.
 * 6) Buy the item Takauji's Folding Screen from the item shop (requires Ogre Bones).
 * 7) Talk to her once to H her. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 8) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love.

足利超神 Ashikaga Choushin

 * If you enter a non-Kenshin route, an event for the Emperor Ring will appear. It has higher precedence than other events. (Affection +1)
 * If you got Akihime to Trust, an event will appear for Ashikaga Choushin. It has higher priority than other events. (Affection +1)
 * 1) Talk to him at 7 Hate to get to Normal.
 * 2) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 3) Talk to him once. His name will change to Ashikaga Shit.

一休 Ikkyuu

 * 1) Talk to him once.
 * 2) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.

山本五十六 Yamamoto Isoroku

 * She cannot be character cleared.
 * Requires Kouhime.
 * Despite Sill's appearance in these events, she is not required.
 * If you have Ashikaga Choushin and Ikkyuu but are not in the Isoroku route, there are two optional events. Both raise Affection by 1.
 * 1) Talk to her once after conquering or vassaling the Ashikaga House. Oda or a vassal must control the Mamushi Oil Field. This event appears to be coded to never trigger as a start of turn event.
 * 2) Talk to her once. If you have at least 7 spare National Power and 6 spare commander slots, her two subordinates will join. Requires Kouhime.
 * 3) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust. This is not a Turn Restricted Event, but will prevent them for this turn.
 * 4) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once. This event will usually happen as a start of turn event. (Satisfaction +5)

犬飼 Inukai

 * Requires Kouhime.
 * 1) Talk to him once.
 * 2) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 3) Talk to him once to level up Suzume. (If you have Kanami, there's also an optional level-up event for her.)
 * 4) Talk to him at 3 Trust to initiate the Hiragumo event.
 * 5) Finish the Hiragumo event:
 * 6) *Send Inukai to any battle where the generic archer Gumo Danjou/Danjo Kumo (蜘蛛弾正) appears. Win the battle (killing Danjou is not required). The treasure Hiragumo will be obtained.
 * 7) *Gumo appears in the bottom right position in every single battle on turns that have a remainder of 3 when divided by 4 (every 4th turn starting on turn 3: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19).
 * 8) *Gumo will overwrite any character who was originally supposed to appear in the bottom left position, including Demon Army characters, Sakamoto Ryoma in the final castles with Takuga or other scripted characters. He might even be worth keeping around to make late game less difficult?
 * 9) *If Inukai dies or is never fielded, Kumo will still keep appearing (unconfirmed)
 * 10) Talk to him once. (Suzume will kill the real Gumo Danjou and bring his head to Inukai in a wooden box)

鈴女 Suzume

 * Unmentioned events are optional.
 * From turn 11 onwards, if you have Suzume in a dungeon battle and none of the commanders in your roster have Dungeon Scout, then you will get a one-off event where she recommends Dungeon Scout. This event has no advantages, but comes with the disadvantage of taking priority over some types of item drops (type D shown in Items).
 * 1) Talk to her once. This is not a Turn Restricted Event, but will prevent them for this turn.
 * 2) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love. This is not a Turn Restricted Event, but will prevent them for this turn.
 * 4) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 5) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once. Must have seen a dungeon event regarding her cloning technique. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 6) * Be warned that all of Sill's dungeon events take priority over the required dungeon event and that said event can not be triggered in the same visit to a dungeon as any of Sill's dungeon events. This dungeon event can not be triggered before step #4.
 * 7) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her at 4 (or higher) Love.

戦姫 Senhime

 * If you have Senhime and she is not cleared, then a low priority start of turn event can play in which she leaves the Oda House and becomes recruitable by other houses. If this happens, her unit will be made uncapturable. This start of turn event depends on the two counters described below, both of which have an initial value of zero. For her to leave, the second counter must have a value greater than two and the first counter must be equal to the turn number of the turn that has just started.
 * The first will be set equal to the current turn count plus one at the end of every turn in which Senhime's unit did not end the turn as a unit who has acted (i.e. her unit was not highlighted red in the commander list). This also increases the second counter by one.
 * Note that this means that if Senhime unit acts and is then reactivated, say by the Akashita Dog, then she will be treated as if she has not acted.
 * The second can be changed in four ways:
 * If Senhime has a Battle Permit equipped, then it is set to zero whenever her leaving event would have otherwise played.
 * When this happens, her leaving event is replaced by an event where nothing happens, giving the impression that there was no start of turn event for this turn.
 * As describe above, it is increased by one whenever Senhime's unit ends a turn while being marked as not having acted.
 * If Senhime's unit ends a turn while being marked as having acted, it is decreased by one.
 * Note that this is not restricted to battle-related activities. You can have her do anything that makes her unit count as being used, such as having her try to recruit a prisoner.
 * Regardless of if Senhime is used or not, each individual visit to a dungeon that has a battle occur decreases the counter by one. Non-dungeon commander battles do not count towards this.
 * As a rule of thumb, Senhime will never leave if she has always ended at least every other turn as a unit that has been used or if she is currently holding a Battle Permit.
 * 1) Talk to her at 7 Hate to get to Normal.
 * 2) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 3) Turn Restricted Event - Talk to her once.
 * 4) Have her lose three army battles.
 * 5) * There are confirming events after the first and third loss, which must be seen for the losses to count. Scripted losses, such as ones from the Akashi House or the Mouri House, count.
 * 6) Talk to her once to get to Love.

徳川家康 Tokugawa Ieyasu

 * If you have not recruited or captured his Youkai underlings, there will be optional purple events for recruiting each of them, provided that you have the required space in your roster and National Power. These events can trigger as start of turn events.

[[Image:Sengoku Rance - Tenshi banner.jpg|80px]] Tenshiism
They will auto-join in a low priority start of turn event if you vassal or conquer Tenshiism after the Honnou Temple Event of the True or Kenshin routes. Seigan's joining event will always happen before Genri's.

性眼 Seigan

 * After talking to Seigan at Trust, there will be three events to lower the size of enemy houses by 25% (note that this usually doesn't effect scripted fights like most castle battles).

 * Unmentioned events are optional.


 * 1) Talk to him once after the Demon Army has appeared, he will gain the skill Triplets.

朝倉義景 Asakura Yoshikage

 * 1) Talk to him once.

After this, the National Power of each Oda province will increase by 1 and from now on, talking to him will give +1 Affection to him and +1 Affection to a sequence of up to 3 commanders, which seems to be predetermined at the start of each Turn and cannot be changed.

雪姫 Yukihime

名取 Natori

 * Requires Tamagushi Fuuka.
 * Cannot be cleared in the Kenshin route.
 * Conflicts with Tamagushi Fuuka's character clear.
 * Whenever she is H-ed in Rance's room, he gets an affection bonus. If she is recruited, she can be H-ed if you have seen any of her three repeatable generic colorless events since the last time that you H-ed her (including her first H scene). Specifically, the three events that count are:
 * The event where she tells Rance that she's going to a temple and he mentions setting a curfew.
 * The event where she tells Rance that they should reseal Orochi's cave.
 * The event that starts with Natori and Rance sitting by a fire.
 * Although most events in Rance's room are subject to randomness, if you have never H-ed Natori in Rance's room before, then the only way to fail to H her is if there is a higher priority non-random event in that room. In other words, doing one of the three events above and then going to Rance's room will most likely result in giving Rance an affection bonus if you have never H-ed her in Rance's room before.
 * Has an optional event with Houjou Souun. (Affection +1)
 * Has an optional event that allows the Emperor Sword to drop. See Dungeons. (Affection +1)

 * 5) * Note that it is possible to do another turn restricted event after this one, but not before.
 * 6) Talk to her each Turn for four Turns. Each time, Rance will be exhausted, and unable to act for the rest of that Turn, so plan accordingly. Special events which reset all commanders, will recover Rance. The Orochi fight, which resets all commanders at 20th floor is such an event. So it is possible to talk to Nozomi and have Rance exhausted. Then fight Orochi with Rance usable in fight.

 * 5) *If you take the Houjou family bonus at the start, then the easiest way to achieve this is by not recruiting any Diviner other than Ran and then, when Komatsu is at Trust, explore and complete the Mamushi Oil Field dungeon in such a way that Ran will be lost (do the dungeon but don't enter her route). You can then talk to Komatsu to get to Love prior to Sounn joining you.

柚原柚美 Yuzuhara Yuzumi

 * Requires Kouhime and Sill.
 * There are three optional events. None of these require each other, but they all give her +1 Affection.
 * The first deals with Hattori Hanzou. It only appear if he is part of the Tokugawa House and it is at war with you. This event takes priority over all of Yuzumi's events except for the event that takes her from Hate to Normal.

 * 3) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 4) Talk to him at 3 Trust. He'll gain Hibachi as sub-commander, a new special attack in dungeons, and +2 to all combat stats below 7. This step is required if you're planning on recruiting Nogiku.
 * 5) * This means that you will be better off doing this step when his stats are at 6 than you are when they are at 7. If you do it at 7 his stats won't change, but at 6 they will increase to 8.
 * 6) Talk to him at 6 Trust.

坂本竜馬 Sakamoto Ryouma

 * Conflicts with Kawanoe Mine's character clear.
 * There are three optional events if Gon, Mine, and Yuzuru are in prison.
 * Other optional events require Kouhime and Kawanoe Yuzuru.
 * Note that clearing Ryouma does not require Gon, Mine, or Yuzuru to be out of prison or Mouri Motonari to be uncursed.
 * 1) Talk to Ryouma at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 2) Talk to Ryouma at 7 Trust to unlock an event at Kazusa 2000.

 * Conflicts with Kawanoe Mine's character clear.

 * 2) Talk to him after you have discovered Akaheru's dungeon. The dungeon may be discovered before this step.
 * 3) Complete (or re-complete) the penultimate floor of that dungeon or any floor after it without Gon deployed.
 * 4) * As this scene shows Gon in the dungeon but requires him to not be deployed, his attendance requirement is probably a bug. Instead, the MangaGamer version requires Gon and Ryouma to be recruited commanders, meaning that their deployment is irrelevant.

川之江譲 Kawanoe Yuzuru

 * Conflicts with Kawanoe Mine's character clear.
 * Has a one-off optional colorless event if Ryouma is not in the roster and has not been given a gender. This event increases Yuzuru's Neg by 3.

 * H-ing all three Mouri sisters will unlock a foursome H scene. (Satisfaction +5)

毛利元就 Mouri Motonari

 * Requires Sill.
 * Once cleared, he will become a ghost. This form is a very similar to his cursed form, but the following should be noted:
 * His max HP will be reset to 500 and will never increase. Like in his cursed form, he will never be able to take more than half of his max HP as damage from any one hit.
 * His default attack will be returned to Motonari Punch, the fixed 200 damage attack.
 * He will forget Commander Charge, but his unit will falsely appear as if that move has been replaced by one of his dungeon moves. In fact, it has not been replaced and he can therefore learn other skills in this slot, such as Light Attack or Full Power Warrior Attack. The damage of these skills will be determined by his troop count.
 * It will falsely appear as if he has forgotten his passive skill and his first slot skill (by default, Initial Battle Rating and nothing respectively). In fact, the skills that he had in these slots while uncursed will persist.
 * His troop count will not be hidden and his troops will be sellable, but you will not be able to buy troops for him.
 * Despite having a HP bar, if he has 1,000 or more troops, he can equip a Battle Permit.
 * 1) Talk to him once.
 * 2) Talk to him at 5 or 6 Normal.
 * 3) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.

 * 4) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love. This H scene will use the Hallucination of Death Medicine, removing it from your inventory. (Satisfaction +5)


 * After clearing her, the Hallucination of Death Medicine will continue to drop in dungeons. Talking to her while you have one will give an H scene (Satisfaction +1, repeatable) which will take priority over both talking to her for +1 affection and talking to her for an affection power up. This H scene will use up the Hallucination of Death Medicine. Note that you can only carry one at a time and that no more will drop until the one that you have is used.
 * These events can also be triggered by visiting Rance's room. The first trigger of this event via Rance's room has a very high priority.

吉川きく Kikkawa Kiku

 * Can only be cleared if you have recruited her before conquering the Mouri House. Without a 2nd game bonus this requires you to have accepted Mouri Motonari's challenge and captured her in a later battle.
 * 1) Talk to her once.

 * 3) Talk to her after conquering the Mouri House for an H-scene. (Satisfaction +5, unlocks CG #50, works regardless of how the Mouri House was conquered). Taking the Mouri House second game bonus lifts the requirement of conquering the Mouri House.
 * 4) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love.

小早川ちぬ Kobayakawa Chinu

 * 4) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love.

 * 1) Talk to him at 7 Hate to get to Normal.
 * 2) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.

アギレダ Agireda

 * She can only be cleared in the True route or in a Demon King route that has been entered from the True route. The only route-specific requirement in her clear is that the event where the Shimazu brothers prepare to ambush Rance can only happen in the True route. There is no other part of either the ambush or Agireda's character clear that checks what route you are in, meaning that the rest can be done in the Demon King route.
 * If this clear is done in the Demon King route, it will not appear on the Clear Game Report.
 * There are two one-off optional events to raise her troop count by 1000. They are found in Amazon and Cairo. The event in Amazon requires the event in Cairo.
 * 1) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 2) Talk to her normally after the Shimazu brothers have ambushed Rance. When the ambush happened is not important, even if it happened before recruiting Agireda. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) H her in Rance's room in Owari. This is not a repeat of step 2; You must either trigger this as a start of turn event or visit Rance's room manually. (Satisfaction +1)
 * 4) Talk to her once.
 * 5) When she is the largest unit in your roster, talk to her to get to Love. Depending on where each unit is stored in the game's memory, having her be the joint largest unit in your roster can work.

Turn Restricted Events
Any two event tagged with this label cannot be completed on the same turn, even if one of them triggered as a start of turn event. For example, Magic's 2nd and 3rd events cannot be completed on the same turn and neither can Magic and Suzume's 2nd events.

This does not prevent you from doing a character's generic events. If you max out a character's affection with their generic event instead of a required restricted event, you will need to wait until you get their affection back up to 7 before you will unlock the restricted event again. When clearing multiple characters, you must plan around this.

The following events are the only events in the game that are not in this article but are restricted in the same way:
 * Hear Yamatai's pink rumor from 3G
 * Feed Toukichirou (Hasten events)
 * Traveling carnival is here
 * Demon's daughter: Kurohime, but only the two versions that appear in both the True and Isoroku routes and only when triggered from the map.
