Nobutsuna's Students are former pupils of Yasuke’s teacher, scattered across Japan. Nobutsuna asks Yasuke to duel them to restore honor to their sword school.
These duels are weapon-locked, as you automatically equip the same weapon as your opponent at the start of the duel, and cannot switch until the duel ends. For example, you can only use a Naginata when facing Yuki no Kata.
Duels can only be fought as Yasuke when you find the targets on the map. Some duels are to the death, but most end honorably without killing. Furthermore, the final duel against Sanada Masatoyo unlocks only after fighting the first six students.
How to Unlock Nobutsuna's Students
Talk to Nobutsuna Sensei in Omi as Yasuke
To unlock the Nobutsuna's Students objective board, first complete "An Education", a main story quest for Yasuke. Then, visit Nobutsuna at his home in Azuchi, in the Omi region, and speak with him. He will give you a scroll listing the students’ names, unlocking the target board in the Objectives menu.
