When Mitsuhide betrayed Nobunaga and attacked him at the Honnoji in June of 1582, he was a man who had serious doubts. I do believe this. Why? Jeroen Lamers give us a clue in his book, Japonius Tyrannus (p. 214) " Mitsuhide's behavior directly before the Honnoji Incident was that of a man having serious doubts as to what course of action to take."
Mitsuhide owed everything to Nobunaga. He was an outsider. If Nobunaga did not employ Mitsuhide, he would end up as a nobody.
Nobunaga no tame!
