I, who time slipped to the turbulent Warring States period...
am living as Oda Nobunaga's chef.
My memory is still gone.
I can't even remember who I am.
What will happen to me?
Will I drown in the raging seas of the Warring States period...
or will I be able to return to the Heisei period?
And right now, once again...
a new trial has come to me.
Ken, you will be Higoroku.
Invade the kitchen of Odani castle with these people.
What do you exactly want me to do?
Give them back what they deserve.
Episode 5: The Heisei chef turned into a spy!! Assassinate Nobunaga's younger sister!?
Does that mean I turned into a spy? Episode 5: The Heisei chef turned into a spy!! Assassinate Nobunaga's younger sister!?
Nobunaga-sama, what does he want me to do by... Episode 5: The Heisei chef turned into a spy!! Assassinate Nobunaga's younger sister!?
Nobunaga-sama, what does he want me to do by...
sending me to the kitchen of the enemy?
The enemy is Azai Nagamasa.
Nagamasa's wife...
is Nobunaga's sister Oichi.
Did Nobunaga-sama command me to not...
only poison his brother-in-law, but also his sister...
and young nieces?
Nobunaga-sama should know that I wouldn't put...
poison in my food.
But if he does know that, then that means...
there is something for me to do.
But what is that?
What are you mumbling about? Got it, Ken?
Nobunaga-sama told you to poison the food.
Do you think you can get back alive after doing that?
They'll kill you there and that's the end.
You cannot go against Nobunaga-sama's command.
If you'll end up getting killed both ways...
right now it's sink or swim, so you've got no choice but to run!
Hey, Ken! Are you listening?
Are you done with the preparations? Hurry up.
Don't be in such a hurry! And what's up with that outfit?
You shouldn't be the one to talk. Hurry up.
Um, there's something as preparing your heart...
and if you say that Ken has to go no matter what...
then I have to prepare too.
That's no good, Natsu-san.
As if I'd let you go alone.
Don't follow him everywhere.
This isn't a game. It's a task of life and death.
So you want me to let Ken go to a place where he could get killed?
What's so funny?
Girl...
You...
Natsu-san.
I have this.
I'll come back safely for sure. So wait for me.
You have to.
Let's go.
Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan
Ken is on his way to Odani castle.
Saru, you seem to be worried about Ichi.
No. Yes...
I think Ken's food will be tasted by Ichi too.
That deliciousness will make her go speechless.
How long will it take from here?
We'll be there soon. Odani castle is behind that mountain.
Got it? Do it as you've been told.
If you say even one think you shouldn't... then I'll kill you.
Yes. - You too.
Yes. - The only thing you should do...
is to take care of the betrayer Azai Nagamasa.
Nobunaga-sama hasn't told me that.
What else? I can't think of him having said that.
What else should I do? What else?
Raise your face.
You're even of more use than Asakura-dono. Good work on getting all the way here.
They're looking forward to it too. Please make something delicious.
Both Chacha and...
Ohatsu have not eaten a thing yet, Nagamasa-sama.
I see.
Manma. (Cooked rice)
Chacha, come back.
This person is Nobunaga-sama's sister, Oichi.
And Chacha and Ohatsu.
I can't do it. I can't poison them.
I beg you for something delicious.
Yes.
What's wrong? Not feeling well?
I'm worried about Oyakata-sama's sister Oichi-sama.
Oichi-sama is such a beautiful person...
she's a pure hearted person who thinks about her brother.
On Oyakata-sama's command, without even one complaint
she married to Azai Nagamasa.
But when Oyakata-sama said that he'd take Azai's head next.
What will happen to Oichi-sama...
So you have a crush on her?
Don't say such silly things!
Inoue Kyonosuke, here I am!
I'm happy to make my comeback as Nobunaga's head of the kitchen!
What?!
Oh my, Hideyoshi-sama.
Thank you for calling me.
What's the meaning of this?
The head... No, Ken won't come back anyway.
That's why I was called upon as Nobunaga-sama's head of the kitchen.
Why did you call such a guy?!
Such a guy?!
Hideyoshi-sama, please say something to this rude person.
No, punish him!
Ken, will come back for sure!
Got that. Ken not coming back means...
that he will kill Oichi-sama!
That's no good! No good!
Use this. With one of these you can kill 10 people.
Nobunaga-sama said he'd leave it to me.
Please put that away.
What a coward. Then I will put it in for you.
The kitchen is my battlefield. Don't do things on your own accord.
What to do? What should I do?
Sweetfish?
Oichi-sama sent Nobunaga-sama sweetfish at Kanegasaki.
Sweetfish...
Why did Oichi-sama send sweetfish?
It's a fish trap.
She sent it to let Nobunaga-sama know its a trap.
Give them back what they deserve.
I'll let the way of doing it to you.
Give them back what they deserve.
Them... them...
He's not talking about Azai Nagamasa.
Maybe he's talking about Oichi-sama?
I see. That's how it is!
Come on! Warring States cuisine!
What are you doing?
I could see it. The real intention of Nobunaga-sama.
What is the meaning of this food?
It's a message from Nobunaga-sama to Oichi-sama.
How pretty.
It's deep fried sweetfish, wrapped in a bamboo leaf boat...
accompanied with raspbarry soup.
Please eat it with the red strawberry soup.
The combination of the bitterness of the sweetfish and the sweetness of the strawberry...
gives a very good favor.
Cook of the Asakura clan. Van you catch sweetfish at Echizen too?
Yes.
Hey, hey, boat.
That's right, Chacha. It's a boat.
Three sweetfish.
They descend the river from Lake Biwa.
Brother...
Run away, Ichi. To me...
Ichi won't ride the boat.
I won't move a step from this castle.
What does that mean?
These people are Nobunaga's subordinates!
Are you Nobunaga's spies?
Ken!
Get them! Get them!
Be careful!
Don't move!
Chase her! Don't run away!
You, walk!
Ichi. Is Chacha safe?
Yes.
Nagamasa-sama. Ichi will be with you, wherever you may be.
Ichi...
Where is Ken?
What happened to Ken?
The castle at the top of the mountain is filled with Azai clans retainers.
The castle is placed at the summit and the defense is very solid.
I think that Azai's reinforcements can immediately start moving upon arrival.
Did you meet Ichi?
Yes.
She won't move a step from the castle. She wants to be together with Nagamasa-dono wherever he will be.
That's the best information.
Now I can attack without reserve.
Oyakata-sama's aim wasn't poisoning them.
Was Ken right?
If we'd have killed Oichi-sama, then I'd be dead.
I'm in debt to him.
Oyakata-sama, what about Ken?
Let me go! - Stop! You rude fellow!
Ah, no, I...
Please save Ken! I beg you.
If he can't come back, then that's the end of him.
Kaede.
You're no big deal either.
Saru.
Burn down all of the towns at the foot of Hibari mountain!
To display his own power, Nobunaga...
burned down all towns and villages near Odani castle where...
Azai Nagamasa ruled to ashes.
How far will...
Brother-dono do as he pleases with Omi.
You were the one who betrayed me in the first place.
I understand your relation with the Asakura clan.
I won't attack Asakura without your permission.
But you started to invade Asakura's land on your own accord.
Without a word, you betrayed me!
Even though I intended to follow you anywhere.
Nobunaga's servant...
I wonder if that cook is still alive.
Yes, most likely.
Anyhow, he's an obedient man...
He doesn't cry, doesn't make noise...
whether he will live or die...
I don't care.
The head of that servant, send it to brother-dono...
No, send it to Nobunaga.
Will I die here?
Is it my destiny to die here?
Who was I?
Go, you should survive!
Live, and go back to Heisei!
I... Why did I come to this period?
Is is to die here?
Natsu-san...
Where are you going?
That's obvious, isn't it? I'm going to save Ken!
What can you do? - Shut up!
I don't want to hear that from you who ran away alone and left Ken.
It wasn't my task to save him.
Not your task...
You're such a sad person...
Isn't there anyone...
who you'd really want to protect without it being your task?
Don't you have a precious person?
I'm going.
If you do as you want, then I'll kill you.
Hurry up with the sauce! - Yes!
Youko, I'll leave the dessert to you.
Youko? Is she called Youko?
French kitchen... together with Youko...
Delicious.
Youko?
Who are you?
Is this a dream too?
There's no way Oichi would come to a place like this by herself.
No, it's not a dream.
What are you called?
Ken.
Ken. Answer me honestly.
Who are you? And why did you come to this castle?
I am Nobunaga-sama's cook.
I came to convey Nobunaga-sama's feelings through my cooking.
Brother shouldn't be able to think of such a refined dish...
I thought of that.
Nobunaga-sama told me he'd leave it up to me.
Leave it to you?
My brother who insists on deciding everything by himself did?
I don't believe you.
Well then, would you believe me if I told you I used sweetfish...
in this dish to return the favor of sending sweetfish which coined 'fish trap' and 'trap'?
Did my brother give you that much discretion?
Yes.
You didn't have the intention to poison us?
I don't put poison in my food.
Nobunaga-sama should know that better than anyone.
Food is a medicine that keeps people alive.
Medicine?
In China... no, the Ming...
there's a thought of 'Daily food is the best medicine'.
Proteins take care of skin and hair, muscles and blood.
Calcium takes care of the strength of bones and makes the resistance of the body stronger.
I combine those nutrients to make a dish.
That's why it's said that medicine isn't needed.
Excuse me.
It's as if I'm listening to my brother.
As if every word makes up the logic of the world...
The words of my brother...
are deeper than the sea, higher than the sky...
and far.
Oichi-sama, why are you at such a place?
Cut off the head of this person right away!
Please leave quickly!
Stop it!
Let go!
I don't want to die! I don't want to die!
I can't die here!
I will live!
Stop right there!
I will talk to Nagamasa-sama once more.
What? You want to let that servant live?
That person...
Ken, is a skilled cook as far as I can see.
There should be a way to use him.
Use him? - Yes.
As Chacha's cook for example.
Chacha's?
Chacha is at an age where to eat firmly.
But she doesn't get to eat a lot more other than rice.
I am worried as a parent.
Ken called food a medicine.
I want him to be of help to let Chacha grow up healthy.
It is true that Chacha is...
somehow showing interest in that cook, but...
Hey, hey, boat.
Why not let him try to make something?
Moreover...
if you send my brother the head of just a mere cook...
he won't be surprised.
Alright, that's fine.
But he has to use the ingredient Chacha dislikes the most.
If Chacha doesn't eat it, I'll kill him at once.
Inoue Kyonosuke's specialty...
salt grilled sea bream.
Boiled down shrimps and vegetables.
And this is...
Enough.
How did it taste?
Boring.
The appearance and taste are boring.
That can't be...
Saru, what do you think?
It's nothing compared to Ken's cooking.
Oyakata-sama!
Ken is a first class cook!
I suppose you use his cooking to save Oichi-sama.
But to Oyakata-sama he is also an irreplaceable important man!
Please command this Saru...
to somehow save Ken!
This Saru will show you that he can save Ken with his life!
If he's an important person to me...
then he will come back on his own strength.
Oyakata-sama!
It tastes old fashioned.
Go.
Thank you.
I don't remember why you should thank me except for being useless.
I'm sorry.
Walk!
Hurry up!
I've go the feeling they're taking me somewhere...
Don't tell me it's... the execution site?!
This smell is...
the kitchen?
Oichi-sama!
Ken, please make a dish that will be like a medicine.
A dish that will make a person who dislikes meat eat meat.
Yes.
I don't see a kitchen knife.
Where is my knife?
We cannot trust you.
Make everything with your hands.
Just with my hands?
Oichi-sama, let's go.
Please follow me.
What kind of person will I make this for?
There's no need to ask that.
Just make it.
No, I do need to know.
I'll make a dish for that person.
Thinking about that person, to get closer to that person...
That's how I make my dishes.
It's Chacha.
Chacha...
A dish for a young child...
What should I make?
A dish that will make a child who dislikes meat eat meat...
The heart of a mother who thinks about her child...
I see! That's it!
If you can understand the structure and frame of the raw materials...
then you should also be able to do it by hand.
Come on. Warring States cuisine!
First, go along the breastbone...
The breast meat will come off from the bone.
Next is the leg meat.
If I solve this problem, will they release me?
No, it shouldn't be that easy.
But right now I've got no other choice that to cook.
Thank you for waiting.
What's with that iron pan?!
How rude! - Don't touch it!
I won't allow it being taken off before Chacha-sama.
Alright. Bring it to Chacha.
Amazing!
This is?!
Warring States children lunch.
Iron plate duck meat hamburger...
with fried yam, along with sautéed green peas...
and apricot miso sauce.
It's steaming?
What an aromatic smell.
First, Azai-sama or Oichi-sama...
one of you please taste it.
Well then, I will.
Hot...
What a great taste.
It's like the meat melts in my mouth without chewing...
the sweetness of the meat spreads through my mouth.
Chacha, will you eat it?
Hurry up. Hurry up.
Yummy. Yummy.
Delicious!
Chacha is eating it without spitting it out...
Why?
To little children, more than eating...
first of all, they need to
be interested in the food.
The steam that appears by bringing it out on a hot iron plate makes it appealing.
The brightly colored garnish and the idea of putting a flag in there...
gives off a visual play.
And by letting someone next to them eat it and showing that it's delicious...
they want to put it in their mouth.
What a great taste.
The reason she didn't spit it out...
is because people who dislike meat usually dislike the smell of meat.
That's why, to get rid of the smell...
I grated the roots of the Lilium auratum (mountain lily) and added them.
The sulfide included in the plants of the lily family have the effect of getting rid of the smell of meat.
When you add it to meat it will make it softer...
and easier to chew.
And if the temperature of the iron plate is low, the smell of meat will get stronger...
so I made it hot to make it easier to eat for people who dislike meat.
You even though about that, huh?
Ken, will this hamburger and others be like a medicine?
Yes, the root of the lily...
is rich of calcium,
dietary fibers and glucomannan.
The duck meat includes vitamin A which maintains the mucous membrane of eyes and skin...
and vitamin B which improves growth...
and includes a lot of iron, which women have a shortage of.
I see.
Chacha, please eat a lot.
This is delicious too!
The feelings of a mother who wishes for the health of her child...
is the same in every period.
Thank you very much!
Chacha, this young child...
will later on become the concubine of the unifier Toyotomi Hideyoshi...
called Yodo-dono.
Tono! Tono!
Asakura-dono has arrived at Ooyori mountain.
Alright.
Everyone, depart!
Tono, how about him?
Bring him back to prison.
From now on this person will serve as Chacha's cook.
Stand up!
Nagamasa-sama.
Don't look like that, Ichi.
Don't worry.
This time we will live in peace for sure.
Azai's army...
to link up as reinforcements for Asakura's army...
marched to Ooyori mountain.
You saw light at Ooyori mountain? - Yes.
It seems that Asakura's reinforcements have arrived.
So Nagamasa is coming, huh?
I will kill you!
What?
This time I'll kill you and go!
The war has begun.
Ken will get killed if we waste our time here!
Move it!
You will stay here.
I will take your precious person back.
The war between the...
allied forces of Azai and Asakura and...
Oda and Tokugawa had begun.
The battleground both forces went to...
Anegawa.
I have to talk about your inauguration as Chacha's cook.
Please go back.
Oichi-sama, I can't become Chacha-sama's cook.
I have to go back to Nobunaga-sama's place.
I am Nobunaga-sama's chef!
Ken use this, make me your shield and run away.
Hurry up!
What are you doing?!
Oichi-sama! - Stay away!
Don't move!
You guys have to leave.
If you set even one step outside, Oichi-sama will die!
Don't come!
Wait! - Don't come!
I will really stab her!
This way.
Um...
This. Thank you very much.
To you...
this is needed, isn't it?
Thank you.
You should be safe from here.
Well then, please go.
Oichi-sama, why are you letting me escape?
I didn't even understand half of your hamburger explanation.
It's hard not being able to understand.
Nagamasa-sama really looked up to my brother.
Oichi-dono!
Your brother is amazing!
There's no other military commander who thinks like him.
The naga (leader, magnificence) in Nagamasa is more prominent than Nobunaga-dono.
I will show that I can unite this country along him!
But Nagamasa-sama, while contacting my brother...
little by little started to not understand him anymore and got insecure.
What is the meaning of a position given by the imperial court?
There is...
more in this country.
The insecurity of not being able to understand made him insecure and gnawed at his heart...
and turned into distrust in the end.
And yet, Nagamasa-sama...
vowed to fight alongside my brother.
But my brother broke his promise with Nagamasa-sama...
Oda Nobunaga-sama commanded 30,000 soldiers to march towards Asakura in Echizen.
Tono!
That can't be! It has to be some kind of mistake!
I know how much Nagamasa-sama's feelings hurt.
Nobunaga-sama too, at first couldn't...
believe Nagamasa-sama's betrayal.
Nagamasa-dono is revolting?!
It has to be some kind of mistake!
The Asakura clan which we're going to invade and the Azai clan...
have had a good relationship since their ancestors.
If Azai-dono thinks of those old favors as more important...
It must be a plan of Asakura.
Not Nagamasa.
I think Nobunaga-sama believes and thinks of Nagamasa-dono as important too.
That's why he might not have said a thing to him...
so he won't have to choose between him and Asakura.
They misunderstand each other.
Time is like a flowing river...
it never stops.
The name of the river that divided them was Anegawa.
Just one word...
If you just would've told me to come with you...
I would've believed you!
Nagamasa, why do you not understand?
It was said that the older sister...
of King Enma (God of death) lives in this Anegawa.
Spending these few days with you...
I know why my brother has given you discretion.
You are a person who holds the same words as my brother.
I'm glad you are at the side of my brother.
My brother is a lonely person.
Please take care of my brother.
Well then, please go.
Oichi-sama, next time we meet...
I will properly learn you the way to make a hamburger.
If there is a next time...
This Oichi, who has taken the name of the most beautiful woman in the Warring States period...
Her life filled with ups and downs was ended...
13 years after this.
Her age at death: 37.
We don't know for sure whether she learned...
how to make a hamburger or not.
Oyakata-sama, your helmet!
I don't need it.
I wonder if I should follow that river.
[The worst enemy appears!!]
Eat all you want!
[Will Warring States yakiniku save Nobunaga!?] Eat all you want!
Make food for the enemy? [Will Warring States yakiniku save Nobunaga!?]
I will send this smell of yakiniku. [Will Warring States yakiniku save Nobunaga!?]
This Ishiyama Hongan-ji will fall. [Will Warring States yakiniku save Nobunaga!?]
This Ishiyama Hongan-ji will fall.
[The worst enemy and the final showdown] This Ishiyama Hongan-ji will fall.
You have to stay by my side. [The worst enemy and the final showdown]
You have to stay by my side.
[The Heisei lover has come to the Warring States period!?] You have to stay by my side.
I will end this war... with my cooking! [The Heisei lover has come to the Warring States period!?]
I will end this war... with my cooking!
