. Though he managed to hold his own against any of the opponents, constant internal struggles within Oda clan prevented him from archieving a complete victory.

. Supported by Dosan, Nobuhide focused on facing Imagawa. In one of his moments of glory, he managed to capture Matsudaira Motoyasu on route to Imagawa as a hostage. He was thus able to gain some footholds into Mikawa.

Succession controversy

When Nobuhide died in 1551 in Owari, he had designated young Nobunaga to succeed him as the head of the Oda clan and its small domain. Nobunaga, who hardly even knew his father and already had a bad reputation as a deliquent, arrived inappropriately dressed at Nobuhide's funeral and threw incense at the altar of the temple as he cursed his fate. Almost all support that Nobuhide's retainers would have given Nobunaga went to younger brother Oda Nobuyuki
