It was Hanzo, yes. Not the one with white hair, the other one.
Oh! D: Purple Hanzo is devoted to Saizo almost as much as he is devoted to Iga. So, that's sad! :( (But I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't rolling in the angst. ;) )
Kenshin is the best (literal) deus ex machina
...omg, you're right.
As far as the threesome, Kenshin's 'so you finally got a serious boyfriend?' line made me think that Kenshin and Shingen had something in the past but Shingen backed off due to internalized homophobia.
Yeah, I definitely see them having something in the past. Or something to do with political situations. Which should also be resolved by Nobunaga backing off.
There's a Shingen/Kenshin fanfic that posits that they weren't together because they both wanted Divine Rule. I don't know if that matches Kenshin or Shingen's route, but it could work with the Nobunaga and Shingen event story where they both like "naaaah, the world isn't big enough for two badasses like us to get along".
