I, who time slipped to the Warring States period...
turned into Nobunaga's chef before I knew.
On Nobunaga's order I sneaked into the opponent Azai clan's place as a spy...
but my identity was revealed soon after...
You're Nobunaga's spy, huh?!
...and sadly imprisoned.
This Saru will show you that he can save Ken...
even if it costs his life.
If he's an important man to me...
then he will come back on his own strength.
Ken use this, make me your shield and run away.
Because of the help of Nobunaga's younger sister Oichi I somehow managed to escape...
but on the way back...
It seems that the war at Anegawa has finally begun.
Is that so?
This is a raspberry sauce panna cotta.
Ken...
Kaede-san, why are you here?
I'll bring back the man who is precious to you.
You should've been imprisoned.
Episode 6: Win the war at Anegawa with yakiniku! The worst enemy appears!! You should've been imprisoned.
Yes, but I'm safe somehow. Episode 6: Win the war at Anegawa with yakiniku! The worst enemy appears!!
Yes, but I'm safe somehow.
Moreover, how is Oyakata-sama?
Has the war already begun?
Another war, and in addition to that it's with his companion, his brother-in-law.
Nagamasa-sama really likes his brother.
What a period...
What's wrong?
Kaede-san?!
Look at that. Isn't this a kunoichi (female ninja)?
How unattractive! But...
she's got quite a nice body.
It seems that ground fighting is her specialty.
This one will sell for a high price.
We should kill that guy quickly.
Alright!
Bitch!
Kaede-san!
Ken, run away!
Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan
Ken, run away!
How about you?
Just hurry up!
Her wound seems to be deep. If I run away here...
What are you doing! Run away quickly!
I left you alone too.
I've already forgotten that.
Yes. - Good work, Ken.
Kill hiM!
Kill him?!
Just do it! - But I...
Idiot, it's because you're slow.
There's no way I can do that...
He's an amateur with a sword!
Hurry up and do it!
Who is an amateur?
This woman...
Who is next?
I'm sorry. Thank you.
Really... what are you doing? You're a grown man.
That's a terrible wound.
Let's stop the blood with this. - Don't touch me!
I'll do it myself.
The war at Anegawa had begun, following the armies of Tokugawa and Asakura...
Whole army depart! Go!
Azai's army had finally started its attack.
Azai's army has come.
Attack them.
Farewell, my brother.
Don't hesitate! Go!
You can't go on like this. Let's take a rest.
Don't say stupid things.
Walking on with that leg or taking a break.
Which one do you think is faster?
Nobunaga-sama needs you.
There's no doubt that he needs you now.
Kaede-san?
Hey, don't draw back! Attack!
The vanguard and second group have broken through!
That's fast! We surpass them by number, why are they pushing through!
I can't call this anything else but a flow.
The force of Azai's army in the battle of Anegawa was tremendous.
Go!
That force even approached Nobunaga in the Oda army headquarters.
The smell of burned houses... I hate this smell.
Kaede-san. Kaede-san!
Kaede-san.
Ken...
I'm glad.
Where are we?
You lost consciousness.
What are you doing?
Here you go.
This is miso rice gruel with shijimi clam and onion.
Why did you make that?
I made it using the ingredients the people who lived here left behind.
Let's go after you eat this.
It's warm.
I wonder how long it's been since I've eaten something this warm...
Ken, is it true that you don't know your background?
Yes, even though I can remember things about cooking clearly...
I can't remember anything about parents, siblings or friends...
Youko.
Youko, I'm leaving the dessert to you.
Yes.
It has to be!
That Youko person is a cook at the same workplace.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I really can't remember a thing.
About no one.
That might be happier.
My parents were killed and burned in front of me.
It was during the war 10 years ago.
Child, do you want to be strong?
Will you save me?
I don't need those who won't fight.
Got it, kid? Don't entrust your life to others.
Stand up by yourself. Choose by yourself. Progress by yourself.
Wait! Take me with you!
That time I decided to continue walking on my own feet.
The time that I can't walk no more is when I'd die.
What are you doing?! - No...
I thought you were crying.
As If I'd cry!
If that's what you wish for, even when both your legs are broken...
I won't stop you.
But it's fine to give you a push into the right direction, isn't it?
You're a strange guy.
Well then, shall we go?
It's fine. The bleeding has stopped. Hold on there.
Ken... - Natsu-san.
Ken!
I'm glad you're safe.
Welcome back, Ken.
I'm back.
How often...
will I see this scene?
Ken!
The report to Nobunaga-sama is more important.
Yes.
Kaede! Thank you.
You're late! Why did it take so long?!
I'm sorry. - I'm really sorry.
Ken, get to work immediately.
Right now...
make something to eat for the soldiers of Azai and Asakura.
For Azai and Asakura?
You have to help Ken.
Make food for the enemy?
That's right.
Most of them are farmers.
It's better to make something farmers would like.
I want to end this war as soon as possible...
with my cooking!
I understand.
This won't do! Someone!
Hideyoshi-dono!
I'm grateful! - For what?
But the flow won't change a bit.
Oyakata-sama has already given Ken a plan.
Ken came back?!
Ken! I washed the entrails of the wild boar.
This is deer.
Please mix it with the supernatant of miso.
Got it.
Everyone, please hurry up. In today's cooking speed is life.
What is life? - Just hurry up.
This guy is really making food for the enemy.
Oyakata-sama! At this rate they will even invade our headquarters.
Use the horses.
Oyakata-sama!
There's no wind, but I can't wait any longer.
Everything ready. Start cooking!
If only the wind would blow...
Oyakata-sama, use the horses!
Azai's force is nearby. This is a serious matter!
Oyakata-sama!
The wind is coming.
It has come.
The wind has come.
The wind has come!
Well then, Ken.
Let the soldiers of Azai and Asakura eat all they want!
Alright. Go! Go!
I will take over. - Yes.
Sending the smell to the battlefield?
I'm sending the smell of this yakiniku.
Wait. It's different when the enemy side is hungry...
in peaceful times, but this is the battlefield!
Even if they smell this, what will you do?
That's right. It has a meaning because this is a strange battlefield.
Compared to Oda's army, which is full of career soldiers...
the majority of Azai's and Asakura's armies are farmers.
They might be full of adrenalin right now...
but in reality they have no self-control.
For the farmers who are forbidden to eat beef and horse meat when farming...
harmful animals like deer and wild boars who damage the land are a feast.
What is this delicious smell?
It's yakiniku! Yakiniku! - It smells great!
If they can come back even one moment because of this everyday smell...
pain will get to their bodies and their hearts will be full of fear.
If that happens, then they will be unable to move.
Grill with all that you have! Before the wind direction changes.
Go. Go!
This smell... - The smell of yakiniku?
That smells delicious! - It's meat! Meat!
Is this the smell of grilled meat?
Mom! - I'm so hungry!
Finally their flow... - ...it has changed.
Everyone, this is the time to attack! Go!
Go!
It's hot. Take off my armor.
Oyakata-sama!
The reinforcements are here.
The battle has been fought.
Excuse us!
The Asakura army which got a surprise attack from the Tokugawa army has fled.
We have been surrounded from three sides.
This way our path of retreat will be cut off.
Retreat! It's a full retreat!
Look at that. Azai's army is running away.
The point of tactics... the war of the heart.
You're a dreadful man.
It was Oyakata-sama who thought of it.
You, who completely accomplished this...
is who I called dreadful.
I just want for as many people as possible to run away...
and survive if they can avoid war.
That's all.
Like this, the battle of Anegawa...
in the end turned into a victory of the allied forces of the Oda and Tokugawa armies.
But it doesn't mean that Azai and Asakura lost all their power.
They continued their resistance after this.
Ken. - Yes?
Did you repay the debt to Ichi?
Yes. Oichi-sama told me to take care of you...
because you're a lonely person.
Fool!
If someone would say that then I'd kill them right away.
Go.
Excuse me.
Ken.
Yes?
Good work on coming back.
As reward, I will give you a house and land.
At the same time, at the Ishiyama Hongan-ji a letter from Nobunaga was delivered.
This is no good.
It says that Nobunaga-dono wants to vacate this temple.
It is true that this temple is a natural fort, protected by the hills and rivers.
In addition, it's also an important traffic point.
It's understandable that that greedy Nobunaga-dono wants this.
I made you listen to a boring story.
What is this sweet?
Youko.
It's a chestnut Mont Blanc.
What a great flavor.
A flavor as if it's not from this world.
Make Ishiyama Hongan-ji the enemy?
Just because he's a Buddhist priest doesn't mean that I can overlook him.
Anyhow, a single word of him...
can cause a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist uprising of hundred thousands of people.
Hundred thousands...
If that happens, then it'll be a far stronger enemy than Azai, Asakura and the like.
That's right.
Yoshinari, to control the large army of Ishiyama Hongan-ji...
a large amount of weapons are needed.
Take Ken with you, go to Sakai and buy guns and gunpowder.
I understand.
But why do I have to take Ken along?
I don't think...
the Nayushu will obediently answer your request.
Nayashu?
The merchants who control the town of Sakai.
The policies of the town of Sakai are decided upon by the merchants.
The assembly of wealthy merchants who govern is called Nayashu.
Ken, if the Nayashu are unwilling...
then make them give in with your cooking.
Got it? - I understand.
Nayashu?
The wealthy people who make money of trade.
They may be even more gastronomists than the local daimyo.
They might be what?
Sakai, the place where the most firearms in Japan were produced.
It was a whirlpool of money because of transactions with the West and the Ming.
The town, surrounded by a moat, gave it the same impression as the structure of a castle.
Please wait here.
Sakai starts here. - What an amazing town.
Have you ever been to Sakai, Kaede-san?
That's none of your business. - I'm sorry.
My oh my, if it isn't Mori-han!
Welcome.
Imai-dono.
Who is that? - Imai Soukyuu.
He's a Nayashu who deals in gunpowder and guns. On the streets...
he is called the merchant of death. - The merchant of death?
Let's not stand around and talk. Follow me.
We're going.
Kaede. Every time I see you, you're a fine woman.
You're not gonna sleep tonight.
What?
That's why she's dressed so feminine...
Using a seduction technique to acquire information...
in this international trade port.
Sell all the guns and gunpowder in Sakai?!
That's absurd!
I can't decide that.
There are a lot of guys within the Nayashu who...
resent Oyakata-sama who says absurd things.
Please do something. - What to do...
It's impossible to make them eat something extraordinary delicious, isn't it?
What?
Won't you let the persuasion of the Nayashu to me?
I'm a cook.
I will respond to any request of those sophisticated people...
and persuade them with the taste.
Are you stupid? They don't need your countryside cooking.
Imai-dono. - Mori-han...
That will bother me.
Can't you somehow give him a chance to persuade them?
I took him along for that reason. He's a skilled cook.
It's fine to let him try.
Soeki-han?! Why are you here?
You said you'd respond to any request, didn't you?
Then make me some paon (pão).
Paon?
That thing Padre someday brought and...
made the Nayashu happy? That thing? That's absurd!
That mountain monkey shouldn't have heard of paon.
Can you do it?
If you...
can make the same paon as Padre...
I will give you all the guns in Sakai.
How is that?
Within the Nayashu, I've been the one who explains the situation.
Paon (pão)... Portuguese?
It's bread.
I can make yeast to rise the bread from sake leeks.
I understand. I will make paon for you.
Good.
To challenge Ishiyama Hongan-ji, we need to bring back weapons.
The war has already begun.
You saved me.
This way we have a great excuse to refuse Nobunaga.
Have the military forces not made a mistake?
Standby!
It seems that the people of the Oda clan have visited Sakai to buy guns.
The purpose of the increase of arms is...
this temple, isn't it?
Right, Youko?
Whatever plan Nobunga makes, this Ishiyama Hongan-ji won't fall!
Youko, as long as you are by my side.
It's been a while. How was I, Kaede?
What? Is it that mountain monkey called Ken?
No fun.
What shall I do?
Looking good...
Welcome back!
Is this a good oven?
Yes, this will do.
What's wrong, Ken?
Was there some ingredient you couldn't get?
No, there was wheat flower, but...
somehow they didn't sell sake lees.
Every sake-ya said persistently 'we have them, but we won't sell then'...
What's up with that?
Well then, I'll find a shop for you where they will sell them.
It's useless.
Kaede-san.
He told them not to sell to those of the Oda clan.
What?
But if you really need it...
then there's no other choice but to steal it.
As if we could steal it!
There's no other choice.
Ken, are you willing to do it?
Giving up because of this isn't like you.
If you wish, then I will...
Don't do it, Kaede-san.
It's no good.
Of course.
There has to be a way.
Thank you, Kaede-san.
But we'll find a way.
Just do so.
Still no news from Sakai?!
Not at all...
What's that Ken doing?
He's late for the Ishiyama Hongan-ji armed uprising!
Wait, Ken!
There's no sake-ya around here!
It doesn't have to be sake lees.
There should be yeast fungus stuck to every ingredient that will make sake.
But there's no ingredients who will become sake here.
That hurts! Why did you stop so suddenly?
This is...
It stinks! It's just some trash place.
This smell is...
What are you doing, Ken? That's dirty.
I'm looking for the source of this sweet smell.
Sweet smell? Where's that?
Oh well, whatever.
Sweet.
This has a sweet smell.
This is it.
[Three days later]
It's done!
This is something you picked up sometime ago...
Yes, this was probably imported from Southeast Asia.
It's a fruit called banana.
Banana?
The peel of the banana used to be yellow...
but it turns black as it ripens.
They probably threw it away because they thought it was rotten.
By the way, the first person who ate a banana in Japan...
was said to be Oda Nobunaga.
Banana's have a strong fermentation power...
and because of that they use it to make sake in a place called Africa.
They crush this banana, mix it with water and let it ferment for three days and turns...
into this natural yeast.
Yeast?
You used three days to make this?
That's right. Well then, Natsu-san let's start making bread...
Ah no, let's start making paon.
Come on. Warring States cuisine!
First put wheat flower and the banana juice in a big bowl...
mix and knead it.
Natsu-san.
Cover it with a cloth and let it ferment. Wait a while.
And then...
It's bigger than before!
It has fermented. This will do.
Bring it to the oven.
Please enjoy your requested food.
What is he feeding us...
This! It definitely looks like paon.
It's not just the inside. The taste is also that of a real paon.
Wow!
Well then, please eat.
You don't have to tell me that.
It's soft...
This is delicious!
Really! This is delicious!
What a great flavor.
Ken.
I'm speechless.
Delicious.
No good. This is no good!
It's no good to eat it.
This is definitely delicious. But...
unfortunately this is...
not the same as the paon from Padre...
It's the same.
Soeki-han...
I heard that paon means the body of deus.
You could say that paon...
is a food with the same holiness as rice to us.
Delicious is delicious.
It's no good to lie.
No, but...
This is the same as the thing we got...
from Padre.
It's the same. It's the same, but this one is a lot tastier!
Delicious...
It tastes great. - Delicious.
It's like Sen said.
Sen?
Could this person be... Sen no Rikyuu?!
We will sell all guns and gunpowder in Sakai...
to the Oda clan!
Thank you very much!
I was wondering what would happen, but you're amazing after all.
You told me the other day, right?
Giving up is nothing for you.
Ah, did I say that?
Because of that I thought let's try one more time.
It's always like that.
I do my best because Natsu-san is there.
What are you saying so suddenly?
Oyakata-sama is giving me a house and land.
A house? Wow! You did it!
So... won't you come and live with me there together?
That... that's so sudden.
You don't have to answer me right away.
Could you think about it?
Yes, I got it.
Well then, let's go to Yoshinari-san.
It appears that the Oda clan managed to buy guns, didn't they?
According to rumors, it was the work of Nobunaga's cook.
Cook?
Making strange food that is not from this world.
His name was...
Ken.
Ken?
Good work on this mission, Kaede.
I thank you.
With this we're fully prepared.
Our aim is Ishiyama Hongan-ji!
