I, who time slipped and lost my memory...
remembered one thing.
I worked with a woman called Youko at the same workplace.
Youko, were you just a colleague?
Or... - Delicious.
Please tell me. Why am I here?
What will happen from now?
Come on! Warring States cuisine!
[Capital: Honno-ji]
This looks delicious.
A dish Inoue Kyonosuke made with all his might.
Why are you pretending it to be your dish?!
It was Ken who made it!
I helped boiling the adzuki beans too!
You were just a bother! - Stop it, shorty.
As I thought, there's no place better for guns than Sakai.
Natsu, what's that?
[Episode 7: The Honno-ji incident... the plot of Akechi Mitsuhide and the Heisei lover!?]
Thank you for asking. [Episode 7: The Honno-ji incident... the plot of Akechi Mitsuhide and the Heisei lover!?]
This Inoue Kyonosuke gave it his all to... [Episode 7: The Honno-ji incident... the plot of Akechi Mitsuhide and the Heisei lover!?]
This Inoue Kyonosuke gave it his all to...
It's an anpaon which Ken made. (anpan -- Japanese bread filled with red bean paste)
So this is the paon that made the Nayashu silent?
A staple food from the West. I filled the paon with adzuki beans boiled in amakazura-sen...
and made it into this anpaon.
Amakazura-sen is boiled down ivy sap.
It also makes an appearance in "The Pillow Book"...
and was a popular sweetener in ancient times.
Please eat it.
This is good.
This indeed has a mellow mild taste.
Nobunaga-sama is a sweet tooth, aren't you? How surprising.
It doesn't fit your appearance.
How rude!
I'm sorry!
It'd be even more delicious if we'd have sugar.
Sugar, huh?
I heard there's a lot of sugar that was presented to him...
at the shogun's place.
I'll order Mitsuhide to bring that.
Mitsuhide...
Akechi Mitsuhide?!
I am Akechi Mitsuhide.
At that time, Akechi Mitsuhide while being Nobunaga's vassal...
also had a position as if he was a vassal from the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
You could say he was a person from a company called the Oda clan who transferred to the Shogun's place...
to carry the task of coordinating the communication.
Oda Nobunaga, you will be killed.
By that Akechi Mitsuhide in the Honno-ji incident...
The enemy is in the Honno-ji!
Why are you so surprised?
No, it's nothing.
This tastes great.
Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan
He's an obstinate man, Nobunaga.
I wonder if he really thinks...
that I'm going to vacate this temple for him.
At that time, the Ishiyama Hongan-ji led by Kennyo...
was rich of assets and had power equal to that of daimyo's...
and turned into a big force in the Warring States period.
To Nobunaga who wanted to unify the country...
it was a very big bother.
Cook?
They said he could make dishes as if they were not from this world...
His name was... Ken.
Youko.
Was there something you could see again?
Nobunaga's life doesn't seem to be that long.
You told me so, right?
Yes. You told me so, right?
Yes.
Why did you say so?
Answer me!
What could you see?
Could you see the future again?
Who is it that takes away Nobunaga's life?
Is it me?
Who's appearance could you see?
Answer me!
Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi... Mitsuhide?
That must be some kind of mistake.
Mitsuhide is Nobunaga's loyal vassal.
He might look loyal...
but you can't look in his heart.
It's not bad...
to believe you.
Akechi Mitsuhide. There might be a way to use him.
Sugar?
Yes. I got a personal request...
from Nobunaga-sama asking whether you...
had a lot of presented sugar...
at your place.
What does he need it for?
I heard it was an ingredient...
for a very sweet anpaon.
Is that also something that cook Ken made?
It appears to be so.
And if I refuse?
Since you know Nobunaga-sama's temperament, I'm afraid that he won't think of that as an answer.
Do as you like.
You, Nobunaga... you will see!
Lately, I've heard people whispering...
rumors about suspicious movements from the Miyoshi faction...
and Ishiyama Hongan-ji who oppose Nobunaga-sama.
Shogun-sama, have you heard about this?
The Miyoshi Faction also known as the Miyoshi Triumvirate.
Started in Awa...
It was a family with a lot of power throughout the territories in the vicinity of the capital.
The shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was in...
an undesirable relationship with Nobunaga...
if he were to be anti-Nobunaga...
he was in a state to indiscriminately join hands with anybody.
Not just the Miyoshi faction, but also joining hands with the Ishiyama Hongan-ji...
to plan the overthrow of Nobunaga.
I... I don't know a thing!
I have never heard of it!
Then that's fine.
But for Kennyo-dono...
to specially come to Nijo-jo castle...
Exactly what is his intention?
Shogun-sama, could you give me some time?
Yes.
Alright.
Natsu-san.
Ranmaru-kun.
It's no good to bother Natsu-san while he's working.
Rude fellow!
I'm not a bother. I'm a helper!
Sorry.
This kid, Mori Ranmaru...
serve Nobunaga until the end in the Honno-ji incident.
Until the end?
What will I do at that time?
Will I be at Oda Nobunaga's side?
What!
It's nothing.
Natsu-san, is that a sword for Nobunaga-sama?
Idiot!
It's my father's long spear.
Yoshinari-san's long spear?
They call those with a spearhead longer than 2 shaku a long spear.
In addition to the power of stabbing...
by holding this you show your bravery...
and it has a purpose of letting the other party lose its fighting spirit.
2 shaku, so around 60 centimeters, huh?
It has to be quite a long and heavy thing if that's just the spearhead.
To handle it, you need to be an expert with exceptional strength and technique.
In short, just my father!
Natsu-dono, this spearhead...
I want you to make it a little bit longer.
It's alright, please do it.
As you wish.
I will go to Omi soon.
Oyakata-sama ordered me to build a castle at the Usayama in Omi, but...
I got scolded because the progress is slow.
I'm going to fire everyone up.
Usayama in Omi is on a main road that connects Gifu and the capital.
It is in between Nobunaga's opponents, the Azai-Asakura...
allied forces and the Enryaku-ji...
and was said to be the biggest obstacle.
To guarantee a road to the capital, Nobunaga...
left the construction of the castle to his trusted...
vassal Mori Yoshinari.
Um... It will take some time to finish the spear.
I don't mind.
I will protect Oyakata-sama's castle with that spear.
Take your time to make a good item.
Kennyo-dono, did you come to...
reply to Nobunaga-sama's letter?
Do you intent to vacate...
the Ishiyama Hongan-ji?
I don't have the intention of doing so.
If you don't intend on vacating, then there's no use for you to stay here any longer.
Please wait.
Please eat the omogashi (main sweet) made by my cook.
This is pets-de-nonne.
Pets-de-nonne?
It's a sweet which name means 'the fart of a nun'.
Fart...
It was said to be made when a nun in a convent...
in a country called France farted while making food and dropped dough in...
oil of embarrassment.
It's a taste I've never taste before.
The outside is slightly sweet and the inside is mellow.
Delicious.
I heard Nobunaga-sama has a cook who makes strange...
dishes too.
Yes, he has.
His name is Ken.
What is your name?
It's Youko.
Youko...
Please hurry up with the sauce.
Youko, I'll leave the dessert to you.
Yes.
Youko...
Delicious.
Is she... my lover?
Natsu-san.
I'm kind of hungry.
I'll make something for you. - I'm sorry.
Excuse me!
Are you Ken? - Yes.
I'm a vassal of Ise's Kitabatake Tomonori.
Kogane Hamannosuke.
Today I've come to...
present items from my Oyakata-sama to Nobunaga-dono.
Wow! Amazing!
They're still alive.
Of course! I brought them from Ise without sleeping.
What do you think of this beautiful lobster?
I caught them underwater with a harpoon.
With a harpoon?
That's right? Are you interested?
In that case I can teach you some day.
Well then, please excuse me.
The sugar to make this omogashi...
was given to me by the shogun.
Sugar, shogun, fart of a nun.
You are connected to shogun Ashikaga.
Don't care about Nobunaga...
...or something, is that what you want to say?
I heard rumors about the Miyoshi faction raising an army.
Moreover, the Miyoshi faction...
is building a fort before the eyes of the Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
The one who's pulling the strings from behind...
Kennyo-dono, isn't that you?
The person I wouldn't want to make enemies with...
is you, Mitsuhide-dono.
That person, Youko could see it.
You betraying and killing Oda Nobunaga.
Please lend me your strength.
If you join me, then you can rule this country.
What a nonsense.
It's no use to talk any more. Excuse me.
Oyakata-sama!
Oyakata-sama, the Miyoshi faction raised an army in Settsu!
The information of the Miyoshi faction raising an army reached Nobunaga.
It's done.
Ise lobster and rice salad.
What's wrong?
You...
where did you learn to cook that?
The dishes you make...
are beautiful and delicious like nothing before.
It's like the feeling that you were living in some...
far away, really different world.
And the feeling...
of you returning there someday...
is what scares me.
Natsu-san...
Didn't you remember?
The place to go back to...
Didn't you remember about that?
No, I don't remember anything at all.
Is that true?
How about the woman you always remember?
What about it?!
I remembered just a little bit.
We were working together.
Her name is Youko.
That's all I remember.
Is that so?
Um... our conversation before...
About living together. I guess it's impossible, let's not do it.
Why?
I mean, you...
You don't know what will happen from now on, right?
Won't you go off somewhere after getting your memory back?
That's...
I'll be with you forever...
It's war! It's war!
The war has started again.
Ken, for Oyakata-sama...
come along to show your ability as a cook!
This Inoue Kyonosuke will protect this house in your absence.
Make him not come back... Not to come back...
...but don't let him die.
I'll have to finish Yoshinari-san's spear fast.
It seems that your prediction was off.
It can't be.
It's not over yet.
I see.
By the way...
do you know that Ken-something?
I don't.
I won't forgive you lying.
I'm not lying!
Who is it...
that took you in after you were attacked by bandits?
Stop it! Stop it!
Who is that took you in?
It's Kennyo-sama.
That's right.
If I wouldn't have taken you with me then you would've been raped and killed.
If you lie to me or betray me...
then I will put you back in the mountains again.
Yes... I won't lie to you.
In that case... it's fine.
Attack the Miyoshi faction.
We're departing!
The Nobunaga army went on its way to subjugate the Miyoshi faction who had raised an army at Noda-Fukushima.
The Nobunaga stopped by the capital on their way from...
Gifu to Osaka.
Oyakata-sama.
Akechi Mitsuhide...
I'm sorry for making you wait.
Will this Honno-ji do as your sleeping place in the capital?
Honno-ji? Is this the Honno-ji?
The place of Oda Nobunaga's death.
The place where he is killed by this Akechi Mitsuhide.
Honno-ji...
Ken, start cooking immediately.
A dish to thank Mitsuhide for his work.
A dish for Mitsuhide?
That's right.
Yes.
I have to cook here in the Honno-ji?
A dish for Oda Nobunaga and Akechi Mitsuhide...
I'll guide you to the kitchen.
Yes.
You seem to be doing fine. I've heard about your activities.
Yes...
It seems that you're taking care of Oyakata-sama in Gifu.
Do your best from now on too.
Yes.
Ken, am I that scary?
No, that's not...
Then why are you so scared?
I'm not scared in particular...
I see. That's fine then.
The Honno-ji incident, it's still far away, isn't it?
1582 if I remember correctly...
Wait a minute? Is it really that far away?
Am I not mistaking?
And the history isn't always right either.
It wouldn't be strange if there were some miscalculations or errors...
There is a chance of falsification.
What if, right now here...
the Honno-ji incident is happening?
The Honno-ji incident?
Ranmaru-kun...
Why are you here?
I get to support Oyakata-sama in this war.
Oyakata-sama?
All actors are present.
Those of the Honno-ji incident.
Right now, the Honno-ji incident is about to happen.
The enemy is in the Honno-ji!
What to do? What should I do?
This way, Nobunaga-sama...
will be killed by Akechi Mitsuhide.
I don't want to let Nobunaga-sama die.
Lately, shogun-sama has been moving in unrest.
So the Miyoshi faction have tempted that guy after all.
Nobunaga... kill him!
Yes. What should we do?
Let him go. Even the smallest bug...
might be of use some time.
As you wish.
I have to make a dish which will deepen the friendship bond between...
Nobunaga and Mitsuhide.
A dish that will not let the Honno-ji incident happen.
But the thing I'm worried about is the Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
Kennyo?
He was stupid enough to try to win me over.
If you join me, then you will rule the country.
Making you my enemy?
A dish they can enjoy together...
That's it! There's that!
I will show that I can stop the Honno-ji incident with these hands.
Come on! Warring States cuisine!
Thank you for waiting.
This is kiritanpo nabe. (Kiritanpo Japanese hotpot)
Kiritanpo?
A dish from the Tohoku region, rice is wrapped around Japanese cedar skewers and toasted.
They were named like this because they look like padded spears. (tanpo-yari)
It's a meat and fish replacement.
Eating directly from the pot?
Yes.
Interesting. What about Mitsuhide's portion?
I thought you could eat together from the same pot.
What? I can't do such a rude thing.
A pot has been a sacred thing since ancient times...
and using your own chopsticks was something unthinkable.
In that time there was a strict hierarchy in the samurai society...
and the tableware, dining tables and time to eat...
differed accordingly.
At the place I was, close people eat from the same pot.
Family, friends, even colleagues.
Furthermore, it deepens the friendship and strengthens the bond.
Isn't that nice? - But...
Mitsuhide, it's a dish to reward you.
Let's eat together.
Oyakata-sama...
Well then, I will divide it. - No.
I'll do it.
Mitsuhide, I'm counting on you from now on too.
I am unworthy of your words...
There's no way these two will kill each other.
The Honno-ji incident won't happen.
What's wrong?
What was that?!
I wanted you to enjoy your meal together...
Are you that worried about the relationship between me and Nobunaga-sama?
Me betraying and killing Nobunaga-sama.
It appears that that woman could see it. - Woman?
Pets-de-nonne, fart of a nun.
I ate it. That sweet and delicious sweet.
It was made by a beautiful women who serves Kennyo of the Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
Don't you think she's from Heisei too?
She had the same vibe as you.
Will this Akechi Mitsuhide kill Nobunaga-sama and rule the country?
Will I be the ruler?
Three days... three days ruler.
I won't tell him.
Oh well...
It's boring to know what will happen in life.
Besides, right now...
I'm more interested in you and that woman.
Ken will be surprised.
According to my investigations, time travel phenomenons...
have happened in the past before.
Isn't that the thing you spoke of...
as time slip?
Yes.
You and that woman...
must be from Heisei, 400 years in the future.
What was her name?
She was called Youko.
Youko?
Youko, I'll leave the dessert to you.
Yes.
Youko...
Do you know that woman called Youko?
I know her.
I was working together with her as a Heisei cook.
Is that all of your relationship?
Kennyo-sama, it seems that the Oda army is staying at the Honno-ji.
What will you do?
Don't move yet.
The Oda army is nearby.
I can meet him...
Youko was flustered when she heard your name.
Wasn't Youko your wife?
Wife?
But Youko is probably Kennyo's woman.
Kennyo?
Isn't that painful?
Natsu-san!
Tomorrow at dawn Oyakata-sama will head to the Tennou-ji.
It's finally time for the subjugation of the Miyoshi faction.
Show this spear that is a gift for Yoshinari-dono...
to Nobunaga-sama.
Yes.
I will do some more investigation on that...
time slip thing or something.
Just for my sake.
Let's get along well.
As reward, giving a spear instead of money is more Yoshinari-like.
This uncommon long spearhead...
Did Yoshinari wish for that?
Yes.
I'd like you to make the spearhead a little bit longer.
As you wish.
Really, that's one of his bad habits.
He's risking his life too much.
Is Yoshinari-san putting his life at stake to protect...
Nobunaga's dreamed road, the road to the capital?
The long spearhead might be proof for that.
Ken. - Yes.
Take this with Natsu and head to Omi right away.
I will visit Usayama castle after finishing off the Miyoshi faction.
Tell Yoshinari to prepare...
a banquet for the victory of the war.
Yes.
Nobunaga-sama is telling me to stop...
Yoshinari-san, who is prepared to die.
What do you want?
If it isn't Youko-dono?
Did you perhaps come running from Kennyo's place?
Isn't it Ken?
Didn't you come to meet Ken with whom you have an unusual relationship?
Where is he?
That's too bad.
This morning he left for Usayama on Nobunaga-sama's command.
Do you want me to hold the spear?
It's alright. I will hand it over to Yoshinari-san.
Usayama castle...
Isn't that sad?
Nobunaga positioned his camp at the Tennou-ji to start the attack against the Miyoshi faction.
But that formation, be it bad luck or by coincidence...
surrounded the Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
I will kill the Miyoshi here at this place!
Oyakata-sama, I brought him.
How good for you to come, shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki-dono.
It's really reassuring for shogun-dono to participate in the wear too.
Ah, no...
That Nobunaga, did he know that...
I instigated the Miyoshi faction?
The battle at Noda-Fukushima castle was the first in Japan...
to introduce a large amount of guns.
Was it a little bit too noisy for shogun-dono?
Just be patient for a little while.
I will show you the extermination of the Miyoshi faction soon.
That's promising...
Why isn't Kennyo from the Ishigama Hongan-ji moving?
Now is the time to help out the Miyoshi faction...
and attack that detestable Nobunaga.
Oyakata-sama!
A reconciliation messenger from the Miyoshi faction has come.
Kill him.
Why?!
The Miyoshi faction...
I will leave nothing of them behind.
That time, the Ikkō-ikki (Jodo Shinshu Buddhist uprising)...
were the biggest threat to the daimyo.
Nobunaga planned to dismantle...
their main temple, the Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
To Nobunaga this was a war...
to let the Ishiyama Hongan-ji know who was the real ruler.
Natsu-san, are you alright?
Are you tired? - I'm fine.
Let's take a little rest.
What should I do if I meet him?
Now, in this period...
meeting in this Warring States world, what will happen?
Thank you for waiting. This is a marron glaces, a sweet from the West.
Eat it.
How is it?
Delicious.
Everything you make is delicious.
Because I have no sugar or amazura...
I boiled down sake and mixed it with boiled chestnuts.
Sake contains an amount of sugar and if you boil it down to the limit...
it will turn into a sweet juice.
Let's wait here until the sun comes up.
Kennyo, I beg of you... Kennyo!
How is it going? - Just a little bit longer.
The complete victory of the Oda army.
That was obvious to anyone.
But that negligence...
was the invitation for the biggest crisis of Nobunaga's life.
Kennyo-sama.
All the preparations are done.
Well then, please start.
The alarm bell to inform the state of emergency sounded from the Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
Advancing is paradise, quitting is hell.
The enemy of Buddhists...
is Oda Nobunaga.
The uprise of the Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
Nobunaga and Kennyo...
were at the beginning of a ten-year long war.
You, Kennyo!
Let's go, Natsu-san.
What's wrong?
Ken...
You want to meet Youko, right?
You might find out a lot of things when you meet Youko.
I'm sorry, never mind.
Let's hurry.
Ken...
Kenichirou...
Youko...
