Nobunaga seems to be portrayed as a literally demonic monster in a lot of Japanese games and media. Same as Muramasa being reduced to a stock villain whose swords are magical and evil.
I don’t think he was even a competitor. Apparently Masamune was like 300 years prior. Supposedly Murmasa’s school made swords for many of Tokugawa’s troops and retainers so when the Tokugawa’s had disasters playwrights would spice things up by attributing it to Masamune’s demon swords or something.

That seems to be how they’re frequently depicted in media. And also lol “oh no my sword is too good at cutting! It’s evil cutting!” playwrights lol.
