Original subtitles

One day I had suddenly time slipped from Heisei to the Warring States period.

With my memories lost, I became the chef of Oda Nobunaga.

With many of my dishes we were able to overcome hardships.

But now, another big crisis is approaching us.

Damn...

That is...

The Anti-Nobunaga Network.

An alliance centered around shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki against Nobunaga...

that is trying to take Nobunaga's life.

The method Nobunaga chose to strike against that network is...

Burn down Mt. Hiei.

Mt. Hiei connects this Mino, the capital and Owari.

Near it is also the West-Oumi road, an important transportation road.

It will take care of all the people who want to stand in my way.

Please wait. Mt. Hiei is the holy mountain which protects the capital.

Ever since the ancient times it has been a place which even the emperor can't touch.

To burn it down...

It's an act against God and Buddha. Please think this over!

Who is it that almost killed me?

Ishiyama Hongan-ji's Kennyo.

I will weaken the power of that rotten priest who has been interfering with my rule at once!

Burn down all rotten monks in this country along with Mt. Hiei!

If they are called God or Buddha...

Then God and Buddha are my enemies too!

A French chef from the Heisei period one day suddenly time slipped to the Warring States period...

and of all things, became the cook of Oda Nobunaga.

This is the grand story of that cook trying to survive the Warring States with Heisei cuisine.

Burn down Mt. Hiei.

Episode 2: The truth about burning down Mt. Hiei... Will Heisei cuisine change history!? Burn down Mt. Hiei.

Episode 2: The truth about burning down Mt. Hiei... Will Heisei cuisine change history!?

A heartless act of massive killing by Oda Nobunaga...

Setting Mt. Hiei on fire.

Will such a tragedy unfold after this?

Oyakata-sama!

At least...

At least spare the women and children!

Women and children?

Saru, lust is prohibited on Mt. Hiei.

They shouldn't be there.

Oyakata-sama!

Got it? I won't say this a second time. Don't leave a thing of Mt. Hiei behind.

Ken, didn't you hear?

Um... - What?

I think it's better not to do it.

What did you say?

Ken!

What did you just say? Are you going against me?

No, that's not what I intended...

If you burn down Mt. Hiei, then you will get a very bad reputation on the future.

On the net they will say that you overdid it and that's it's inhumane.

Netto? - The internet...

Bulletin boards? Message boards?

Kawaraban.

Well, something like that.

Rather, killing women and children is not like you, Nobunaga-sama.

I don't think you...

A cook like you, who doesn't know a thing, shouldn't interfere!

Ken! Apologize!

If you're opposing me, then I will kill you here.

Ken!

Oyakata-sama! - Ken, hold back!

Ken, go away! Go away!

How dare you say that to Nobunaga-sama?! - Ken, don't be rash!

It's not like him...

History might have said such a thing...

but the Oda Nobunaga that I have seen with my own eyes...

isn't such a cruel person?

History?

What are you saying? It's bad to make Oyakata-sama angry.

The holy mountain that is guarding over the capital, Mt. Hiei.

At that time, Mt. Hiei was an independent area with thousands of warrior monks who had great military and political power.

What holy?!

Those on Mt. Hiei have lost their faith...

it's a storage place of warriors, who are eating meat, getting drunk...

and even take women up the mountain. It's the residence of bandits!

It has gotten troublesome, hasn't it?

Burning down Mt. Hiei. Oyakata-sama is brave...

Matsunaga, are you intending to sell this information somewhere?

You are joking again.

To the shogun?

To the Ishiyama Hongan-ji? To Takeda of Kai?

Or even to those on Mt. Hiei itself.

Oh my, you are making jokes again.

Nouhime-sama.

I am a loyal vassal of Oyakata-sama.

You should be careful of that cook Ken...

That goes without saying.

So that fool Nobunaga will attack this Mt. Hiei?

Don't worry about it.

In case something happens, Kennyo-dono of the Ishiyama Hongan-ji...

and Takeda Shingen-dono from Kai will lend us their powers.

Come if you dare!

As if Nobunaga can make Mt. Hiei fall!

Kai

It seems that Nobunaga is aiming for Mt. Hiei, right?

What are you planning on doing?

Katsuyori, what do you think?

Just for form's sake, we should ally with Oda.

There is nothing to gain for us if we protect Mt. Hiei.

Katsuyori, don't disappoint me.

You can't overlook that I am a Buddhist, that I have been sending donations to the Ishiyama Hongan-ji...

and that the believers have a great power.

If we protect Mt. Hiei, then it will be very helpful for us in the future.

Katsuyori, send a spy to Nobunaga immediately.

Have him investigate. - Yes.

He must be different after all.

Who is different?

Nobunaga-sama.

It is true that the Oda Nobunaga which history learns us about...

is a short tempered cruel man that would say 'If the cuckoo does not sing, kill it'.

But as far as I can see, he is not just that.

What are you talking about?

What does the cuckoo have to do with it?

It's an analogy that represents the characters of Nobunaga-sama, Hideyoshi-san and Ieyasu-san.

What's wrong?

Let us borrow this place for a bit.

Borrow?

Could you make some yuzuke too?

Yes.

Natsu-san, help me. - Yes.

Burning down Mt. Hiei is outrageous!

Furthermore, killing women and children is like an act from the devil.

But we can't go against Oyakata-sama.

That's right.

We have chosen Oyakata-sama as our Lord.

We have to follow him wherever.

So you're telling us to kill women and children?

Oyakata-sama has said us to burn down Mt. Hiei and to leave nothing of it behind.

We have no other choice than to do it!

I guess...

I think it's not like that.

Hey, what are you saying?

Ken, Oyakata-sama would have killed you if we didn't stop you.

You're right. I'm sorry.

But I keep thinking that it's something different.

What is different? - Nobunaga-sama...

He didn't tell us to kill even women and children, right?

Fool!

Oyakata-sama said that there shouldn't be any women and children there.

So... he wants us to burn down everything.

But I feel like it's different...

Shut up!. This Kinoshita Tokichiro Hideyoshi understands Oyakata-sama more than anyone else!

But I don't think Nobunaga-sama is that cruel...

Shut up! I will kill you if you say more!

Kinoshita-dono, wait!

But!

Ken...

If Oyakata-sama didn't tell us to slaughter everyone, then what do you think that he said?

I don't know that.

If you say so, then you should make sure of Oyakata-sama's true intention.

If I do something like that again, then he will kill me for sure.

Then do you want us to kill you here and now?!

But how should I make sure of that?

Think about that yourself.

Yes...

What are you doing? - I came here to get some water.

I see.

You're good.

Spies?

They must have been skilled if you had a hard time with them.

I'm sorry.

Whose subordinate were they?

I think they were subordinates of Takeda from Kai.

Shingen, huh?

That Mt. Hiei... Guessing my movements and begging for mercy.

How clever.

Got it? Make sure our intentions don't get leaked to the outside.

Be careful of Matsunaga's movements too.

As expected of Shingen. Taking measures right away.

Are you connected to Lord Shingen?

Now is not the time. Be careful for a while.

All servants are confused because they can't read Nobunaga's mind.

It seems that it will be interesting.

Depending on how interesting, the price of information will go up.

That's when I will sell it.

Making sure of his intentions...

How do I do that?

Can you think of Oyakata-sama's intention by looking at that?

It's impossible.

I have no idea what I should do.

But I can't just let it be.

I can't let woman and children fall victim.

Ken, I feel the same about it.

It's not that I hate that gentle side of you...

but you're just a cook...

Natsu-san, say that again!

I mean, I don't hate that gentle side of you...

Don't get me wrong.

That is as a human. Why am I talking about love at a time like this?

Not that, after that!

I am just a cook, right?

That's it!

I am a cook. That's why I fight with my cooking.

I have to make sure of his true intentions by cooking.

I see. Right? But how?

That...

What's wrong? - Tie them up!

Natsu-san!

Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan

Nouhime-sama.

Ken, do you know why I had you taken here?

I don't know.

I don't know, but why do you always tie us up?

Rude fellow!

I heard that you were acting suspicious.

What were you planning on doing by looking at this?

Do you want to leak the burning down to the outside?

You are a spy after all, right?

I'm not! I'm not such a thing.

Then what were you doing?

Nothing special...

If you don't answer me, then I will ask the body of that Natsu person.

Me? - Please wait!

I will say it. - Spill it.

I want to know Nobunaga-sama's true intention. - His true intention?

Whether he really wants to burn down all of Mt. Hiei and wants women and children to fall victim.

I want to know what he is thinking.

Why?

Or did the vassals perhaps order you to do so?

That is true too...

How petty.

In short, the vassals are disturbed by tono's orders?

Does a man in love have to find out all that is in the other's heart?

I would even go to hell for tono.

I can't believe it.

Nobunaga-sama isn't a person who would be fine by doing such cruel things.

There must be something behind it.

Why do you devote yourself to tono that much?

Because Nobunaga-sama is an important person to me.

In the past I went to the mountains with tono to pluck zenmai.

Look. It's there, and there, and there...

Everyone, pluck more!

Pluck all zenmai on this mountain!

Kichou, that is enough.

Everyone, enough. - Yes.

There's still so many here.

Kichou, it's brute to pluck all of them.

It's brute to pluck all of them?

It's brute to pluck all them without thinking of the consequences, right?

Without thinking of the consequences?

I see. That's it!

Natsu-san, thank you! - Where are you going?

What will happen if I find out his true intention?

Will it change history?

Is that even allowed?

But I don't want Oda Nobunaga to become a villain!

There's no zenmai during this season.

In that case...

Yama-udo?

What are you doing?

Natsu-san, help me.

Even if a cruel truth is waiting...

I want to know what is in Nobunaga's heart.

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Nobunaga-sama, may I come in?

Did you come to get killed?

No, I came to bring food.

Come in.

Excuse me.

Today's dinner is a marinade of yama-udo, fritter and duck meat rolls.

The zenmai which Nouhime-sama told me about...

weren't available during this season so I used yama-udo instead.

What are you trying to do?

Before burning down Mt. Hiei, I wanted to present the vassals...

that represents your heart, Nobunaga-sama.

Is that fine with you?

I asked you what you are trying to do!

Nouhime-sama told me about the law of the mountain.

It's brute to pluck all of them... You said so, right?

You still feel the same, right? It's fine for me to think so, right?

I want to think so!

Somehow, please tell me your true feelings.

I want to tell everyone. I need to tell them!

This is fine. It's fine to present this dish to everyone.

Yes.

Ken. - Yes.

It's very bad to pluck a large amount of yama-udo.

Take the vassals with you.

Make sure you bring Saru along. - Yes.

How long has it been since I last plucked wild plants?

I wonder why Oyakata-sama said that you had to bring 'that Saru'.

I don't know it either, but it seems like Hideyoshi-san is having a lot of fun.

You're right.

But where will we find it?

There isn't any, is there?

What shape does yama-udo have anyway?

I found some!

Here is some too. Over there too!

Everyone has some kind of value, right?

Speaking of Hideyoshi-san, it's: 'If the cuckoo doesn’t sing, then make him sing'.

That cuckoo again?

Kinoshita-dono, why are you able to find them so easily?

Because I have a peasant background.

For peasants, plucking wild plants is as easy as it gets.

It's common practice.

There's a lot here.

Now, let this incapable warrior put his hands on some farmers land.

I will take this one by the root.

Wait... - You can't do that!

That is against the law of the mountain.

Hideyoshi-san.

Just because there are wild edible plants here, doesn't mean that you can pluck them all.

You have to leave at least one.

It will give birth to a child next year and will connect to the future.

What did you just say, Kinoshita-dono?

The law of the mountain...

We should spare them. They will connect to the future.

Don't tell me. Is that what's in Oyakata-sama's heart?

Yes.

Now I know why Nobunaga-sama told me to bring Hideyoshi-san along.

Nobunaga-sama's feelings...

are just like Hideyoshi-san said just now.

Oyakata-sama said so. There should be no women and children.

If they're not there, then you can't kill them.

Women and children are lives that you should spare!

I also heard that the mountain won't die.

What?

If light and wind can't reach, then weeds will wither away.

The ground that supported the weeds will be abandoned...

and nothing will grow on the ground that has become a rock surface.

It will be a mountain with only old trees.

A mountain that can't give new life and only leaves old trees behind isn't normal.

Old trees, the old system you talk about.

In other words, Mt. Hiei.

There are things that you have to burn down.

It might look like scorched earth where nothing is left behind...

but it will definitely let new life bloom...

Here and there the wind will blow.

Oyakata-sama was thinking about the future.

But then he should have just said so.

You never know where the enemy is listening.

Oyakata-sama was just being careful.

Oyakata-sama's heart is with the future.

If it is for the world of the children...

then we should fall in the Asura realm with Oyakata-sama together.

Delicious.

The hearts of the vassals have become one, you say?

Yes.

It's once again because of that Ken...

This is not good. I will have to sell this information to Shingen right away.

Nobunaga... God and Buddha should punish you.

As I thought, that Nobunaga will attack Mt. Hiei, right?

Katsuyori, command Sanada Masayuki to help them out.

How about raising an army and attacking Nobunaga right away?

Katsuyori, don't disappoint me.

Somehow or other, I am allied to Nobunaga.

I can't easily raise an army.

Furthermore, do you think I can fight Nobunaga who is the enemy of Echigo's Uesugi and Musashi's Honjou?

It's cold, isn't it? The mornings have gotten cooler.

Warships! We're under attack!

Aim for Sakamoto!

Get all those warrior monks!

The second year of the Genki Era. The burning of Mt. Hiei has started.

Annoying. Katsuie, burn down all the temples.

Sakamoto (at the foot of Mt. Hiei)

Burning coal carriers, go! Sakamoto (at the foot of Mt. Hiei)

Burning coal carriers, go!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Do you know where you are?

This is the place where the Buddha, who receives a large amount of money from the capital, who eats meat...

and drinks alcohol lives in luxury, right?

What did you say?!

We will proceed west!

Ken, take care of the rest.

Yes!

We will save the women and children.

Why are there so many warrior monks, who should be on Mt. Hiei, here in Sakamoto?

Yes, it's weird.

Wait! Please wait!

Let me go!

It's dangerous over there! - Shut up!

Ken!

I'm fine. I will bring you to a safe place.

You're lying! You want to kill us!

Let my mother go! Let her go!

Soon, this place will go up in flames.

Please come with us to a safe place.

Here. Let's go together.

With this, we have gained control of almost all of Sakamoto!

Next up is Mt. Hiei!

It's understandable.

The place where they lived has disappeared.

Ken, Oyakata-sama is calling for you. Make food at the camp.

Yes.

A katsumeshi with in miso preserved duck meat fried in paon crumbs on top of rice.

A superstitious meal with katsu (win)? Fool.

The battle is over already.

All that is left is to burn down two or three temples on the mountain.

You have only taken control of Sakamoto, right?

As I thought, there are no women, children nor monks in this temple.

It completely empty.

Did Oyakata-sama find this out by using a spy?

As expected of Oyakata-sama!

Burning coal carriers! Set it on fire!

There is no one living on Mt. Hiei.

Only the undying light of Buddhism from Saichou's time is burning weak.

I said that I would burn it to the ground, but Mt. Hiei was never more than a name.

What is there is just an illusion of power.

It's all done when this Sakamoto falls.

Then why do we need to burn down Mt. Hiei?

I have to make sure that I eliminated all those who are in my way.

That mountain...

Put more things on fire! Burn it to the ground!

It's the best smoke signal that can even be seen from the capital!

Mt. Hiei is on fire!

Capital Mt. Hiei is on fire!

Capital

Our Mt. Hiei is on fire! It's the devil!

Nobunaga is the devil who doesn't fear God or Buddha!

Nobunaga, you!

I see. Burning down Mt. Hiei...

is a performance to eliminate all those who oppose you through all of Japan.

Paafoomansu?

No, it's nothing.

Ken, are the women and children safe?

Yes. I want to cook for all of them.

Do whatever you want.

Yes. Thank you very much!

We only have the ingredients which are left from the warriors meals.

Alright. Let's use those.

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Can we really make a dish that will fill their stomachs?

Natsu-san, scrape the yams.

I will put in egg yolk, vinegar and salt.

Add oil to that and I can make mayonnaise.

I will make the batter by using flour, onion, egg, yam and dried shrimp.

When everything has been put in, mix it until it gets light.

Add miso to the mayonnaise.

The sauce is done.

Excuse me.

What are you making?

Okonomiyaki.

Okonomiyaki?

Yes, it will be done soon.

Yams contain a lot of calcium and vitamin B.

Both are nutrients that calm down the mind.

Ken, don't say things I don't understand...

and make more. They were gone in no time.

Wait.

Delicious. I'm so sad, but it makes me hungry.

Humans can be so strange.

Natsu-san, keep them coming.

Okay.

Logic doesn't matter.

I am making a thing that will give them power to live on tomorrow.

Cooking has that power.

Thank you. It was delicious.

This was the truth about burning down Mt. Hiei.

During a recent excavation of Mt. Hiei...

no scorched soil, human bones and remains from the Warring States period were found.

In the Tamonin-nikki in which was written about Mt. Hiei at that time...

it was stated that there were almost no people.

At the military meeting Nobunaga-sama ordered to burn down everything, regardless of women and children being there.

What did you say? How terrible...

This time, let's take part in it even though the Lord is getting a bad name.

Burning down the holy Mt. Hiei. Slaughtering women and children. How inhumane!

Even if the Heavens allow this. I will not!

Mobilize the Tiger of Kai right away! Have him destroy Nobunaga!

Your will! I will head to Kai immediately.

I am glad that you are safe.

Shingen-dono!

I can't forgive that devil Oda Nobunaga who burned down our Mt. Hiei!

Somehow. Please kill Nobunaga!

I beg you!

Ken, on top of having a good intuition you seem to understand everything.

It's as if you know about the future.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter to me.

What?

Takeda Shingen from Kai is making suspicious movements.

So the mountain is moving?

Takeda Shingen. The daimyo that was said to be the strongest in the Warring States...

Is Takeda Shingen the next opponent?

Takeda Shingen will get infuriated by Heisei cuisine!?

Takeda Shingen assassinates Nobunaga's chef!?

Get rid of Nobunaga's cook. Takeda Shingen assassinates Nobunaga's chef!?

Get rid of Nobunaga's cook.

Cook... Please let me cook something.

Shouldn't you kill Takeda before he changes sides?

A breakdown between Nobunaga and the Heisei cook!? Shouldn't you kill Takeda before he changes sides?

I will kill and abandon him. A breakdown between Nobunaga and the Heisei cook!?

I will kill and abandon him.

That noodle soup is a dish that suits you.

Takeda Shingen will get infuriated by Heisei cuisine!? That noodle soup is a dish that suits you.

Kill him. Takeda Shingen will get infuriated by Heisei cuisine!?

Kill him.
