Kishu

Saika Territory, known as the Battle of Saika in Japanese (雑賀の戦い, Saika no Tatakai), is Nobunaga's assault against the Saika to quell their rebellious force. It is usually the stage that will serve as the catalyst for Honnoji. Historically, a battle wasn't fought here.

Samurai Warriors
In Samurai Warriors, the map is a replica of the Osaka Castle stage.

The battle is introduced as a uniquely named stage for Hideyoshi's story in Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends. After successfully defeating the Azai-Asakura alliance at Anegawa, Nobunaga decides to squelch the Ikko rebels in their home territory. Magoichi leads the rebellion and Hideyoshi must defeat his friend. Once Magoichi is defeated, he will head towards Nobunaga to snipe him. Should the player fail to stop Magoichi, Hideyoshi's lower path scenario will be unlocked and the Saika army's morale will increase.

In Samurai Warriors 2, it becomes its own unique map. The Saika often lent their strength to armies opposing Nobunaga's conquest. Wanting to make an example to those who would oppose him, he decides to obliterate the mercenary force. In Magoichi's version of the battle, he must quickly defeat his friend Hideyoshi and rescue and escort his allies to fortified positions. Despite his efforts, the Saika are eventually slaughtered and a vengeful Magoichi will decide to take responsibility for the massacre by killing Nobunaga. In Mitsuhide's story, Mitsuhide will set fire to various strongholds and is ordered to kill the resisting peasant army. It is the turning point for when he begins to doubt his lord's methods and his own desires.

It also serves as the stage for "Village Rescue", a filler battleground used in various characters's Story modes. The player must rescue peasants from terrorizing bandits and marauders. The battle also makes an appearance in Gracia's story for Xtreme Legends. She saves the struggling Saika when Magoichi goes missing.

Warriors Orochi
The stage will appear in the gaiden story for Wei in the first game. The army needs to defend the central fort from being overrun by the combined forces of Shingen and Kenshin.

In Warriors Orochi 2, the village is used by Masamune and Keiji to fight off the Shu army. Ieyasu and his vassals plan to retake it to stop the growing Orochi resistance. Since the center of the map is fiercely defended, Wei Yan offers to burn it while the remaining army takes down the storehouses.

Historical Information
In 1577, Oda Nobunaga marched his 100,000 men into the Kii Province to threaten the Saika group, one of his fierce oppressors during the time period. Since the renegades were faced with much larger numbers, they negotiated peace with the Oda clan. Nobunaga accepted and withdrew his troops from the area. However, in spite of their alliance, the Saika group secretly continued to oppose Nobunaga. After Kennyo surrendered in 1580, the threat of their land being conquered threw the renegades into confusion. Peace returned to their lands when Nobunaga was killed in 1582.

Their home's destruction actually happened three years later. By then, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the strongest man of the land and the Saika surrendered to him. However, since they supported Tokugawa Ieyasu, their leader was ordered to commit suicide. The fate of their lands remain disputed. Evidence suggests that either Hideyoshi ordered their home to be torn down or that it was pillaged by bandits after they left.
