Original subtitles

I, who time slipped to the Warring States period...

lost my memory and became the chef of Oda Nobunaga.

We were able to overcome difficulties with all sorts of cooking.

But right now we are put in a difficult situation.

Natsu and I were taken by the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen, who was said to be strongest warrior in the country.

So I decided to make food for Shingen whose body was weak because of an illness.

Make an appropriate meal for me tomorrow morning.

If it's not an appropriate meal...

then I will immediately kill you, that woman and Akiyama.

That's when I got a message from Nobunaga.

Death?

What does he mean?

How delicious.

This is a what your body needs. An appropriate meal for you.

Splendid.

Our lives were saved, but what will happen after this?

Change into that.

Shouldn't you kill Ken before he changes sides to Takeda?

Sooner or later Ken will bring a catastrophe to you and the Oda clan.

What is Nobunaga telling me to do?

Is he telling me to die? Or does he want me to kill Shingen?

I kind of don't feel at ease in such a big place.

But for you to refuse an order from Takeda Shingen...

That's kind of reckless.

Splendid. Bring me another one.

I refuse, - Do you know who you're talking to?!

Shingen-sama's internals have gotten worse.

Eating too much is like poison.

Being moderate in eating is the main principle of food medicine.

Well, you're reckless too.

You pretended to be me.

Are you the cook Ken? - That's right.

I'm Ken!

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.

Residence of the Takeda clan

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Episode 4: The Heisei cook poisons Takeda Shingen!? I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Episode 4: The Heisei cook poisons Takeda Shingen!?

I always get you involved in dangerous situations. Episode 4: The Heisei cook poisons Takeda Shingen!?

I always get you involved in dangerous situations.

I did it myself!

You only followed me because you like me!

Didn't you come to save me?

Give back, Natsu-san!

Natsu-san...

I should get changed.

This is not like me.

It's fine like that.

It looks great on you.

What are you saying? No, it doesn't.

Gifu castle

Are you saying that Ken has become the cook of Shingen?

That guy...

Did he change sides and become ungrateful against Oyakata-sama?

No, Ken is not a man like that.

It might look like that, but he is loyal.

But after all, we don't know the nature of this man whose identity is unknown.

It's not strange that he would betray Oyakata-sama one day.

You're right, Katsuie.

The enemy of yesterday is a friend today.

The fried of today is an enemy tomorrow.

That's the world of the Warring States.

Shibata Katsuie had once planned to abandon Nobunaga and to support his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki.

In 10 years he would lose a confrontation with Hideyoshi and commit suicide with Nobunaga's sister Oichi.

That again, was normal in the world of the Warring States.

Kaede.

Did you convey my words to Ken?

Yes.

I see. That's fine then.

Will you leave it like this?

We will attack Azai-Asakura!

Let's depart!

At the moment, Nobunaga was surrounded on four sides.

He was put in a situation where he had to repeat the fight with the Azai-Asakura allied forces.

Cook Ken.

He has received all kinds of gifts from Nobunaga until now.

He has received the best thing of all.

Father, I don't think so.

Why do you think Nobunaga appointed Ken with such a responsible task?

Because he is an exceptional man who takes care of Nobunaga's body.

Ken has the knowledge and skill to do so.

Can't you even see that?!

Don't disappoint me, Katsuyori.

Ken has become Shingen-dono's cook?

Good work on taking him away from that detestable Nobunaga.

If he has become Shingen-dono's cook, then I will be able to taste his cooking again.

Shingen-dono should come to the capital as soon as possible.

To kick the ass of that devilish scoundrel Oda Nobunaga.

What will happen to us?

Will we be here forever?

I don't think so.

As far as I know, Shingen will go to the capital very soon.

So we shouldn't be here forever.

Do you think Oyakata-sama will come to save us?

Unfortunately, I don't think so.

Why?

You're a precious man to Oyakata-sama, right?

I got a message from Nobunaga-sama.

Messen?

I'm sorry. This.

Kaede-san delivered it.

Death? What does this mean?

I don't know.

Is he telling you to die?!

What's up with that?

Calm down, Natsu-san? - How can you tell me to calm down?

He's telling you to die.

Anyhow, we will leave this place very soon.

As long as history doesn't change.

As long as history doesn't change?

What do you mean?

What do you mean with 'as long as history doesn't change'?

No, that... - Don't worry about that.

Ken says some strange things at times.

That's right. It doesn't have a deep meaning.

Ken, you have become the cook of my father.

No, that...

If fathers condition gets worse because of your cooking...

No, if his illness gets even a little bit worse...

then there will be no need for you.

Then you will be disqualified as cook.

Be prepared for what will happen then.

You will kill us, you mean?

Until then I will treat you appropriately.

So we will get killed too if Shingen dies?

So I'm Shingen's cook?

I was too naive to think that he would release us when he'd go to the capital.

Will he take us to the capital too?

Wait. What happened when Takeda Shingen went to the capital?

If I remember correctly, he would strike against Tokugawa Ieyasu and Nobunaga.

Shingen going to the capital is a problem for Nobunaga-sama.

So he came to tell me to stop that.

Even if he said to stop or kill him, it's impossible.

You're just a cook.

What if...

There is one way to stop Shingen.

A method that even I can use.

No, a method that I can use because I'm a cook.

In Shingen's food...

Will you put poison in it?!

You...

Ken, you deceived me.

No. That's not it.

Nobunaga-sama should know.

That I can't put poison in food.

I know.

But even if you don't do it...

if you don't properly make food for Shingen then his illness will get worse and eventually...

Eventually?

No, it's nothing.

You mean that not properly caring about his food will have the same result?

Do you mean that I should kill him by not caring about his food?

Natsu-san, are you really telling me to do that?

Natsu-san, you don't understand me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

I will not forgive anyone who stands in my way!

Only those who are prepared to die should follow me!

I'm a cook.

I won't cut corners when it comes to cooking.

I will make food by thinking about the receiver.

What is it that Shingen needs now?

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Rice porridge with masu salmon and plums.

Masu salmon and plums...

Both are local products from Kai.

Have these just been harvested?

Yes.

Good...

Your cooking gently enters my body.

Thank you very much.

Akiyama, go back to East-Mino.

The storm commander can't be away forever.

And...

bring this letter to Kennyo.

Have Kennyo let his followers in Etchu cause a Buddhist uprising.

If a Buddhist uprising occurs...

then our old enemy Uesugi Kenshin will have to spend all his energy on the uprising.

Do you intend to go to the capital by blocking Uesugi's movements?

That time has come.

Oyakata-sama, with all due respect...

You have obtained a good cook.

Why not take care of your health for now?

The capital is too far away from Kai.

Akiyama.

Is change the right thing?

Who is it that has supported this land until now?

The Muromachi shogunate lead by the Ashikaga family has become the shield of the people.

I don't think that Nobunaga is right by destroying and changing everything...

but that protecting is the right thing to do.

To protect the properties of the people and their lives, Takeda Shingen dug mines and set up flood control.

He exiled his father Nobutora, who was a tyrant...

and forced his oldest son Yoshinobu, who wanted to rebel, to commit suicide.

"I have come to the point where I will sacrifice myself for Kai".

That is the reason why he was called a great commander.

Are you Shingen-sama's new cook?

Please take anything that you like.

Thank you very much.

I'm happy to be of help to Shingen-sama.

Is Shingen this loved among the people?

What happened? Pick up those vegetables!

I'm sorry.

Kaede-san?

Kill Shingen. Use the chaos to escape.

I will help you.

Is that an order from Nobunaga-sama?

That's the only way for you to live.

What are you doing?

No, it's nothing.

Kill Shingen?

That's Nobunaga's order to me?

Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan

Ouch...

What are you doing?

What I'm doing? Can't you see I'm cleaning?

I told you that I would treat you appropriately, right?

Tell the guard to do it.

Yes...

What is that you came for?

I found out why Ken had such a responsible task in the Oda clan.

I'm sorry for saying that he would poison the food and such.

I'm sorry!

You don't have to apologize to me.

Please raise your head.

Will you forgive me? - There's nothing to forgive...

Then, please wear this!

It seems that you didn't like the previous kimono.

How about this one?

Such a thing is just wasted on me.

Oh well.

Come sit next to me.

Just sit. It's an order.

So pushy... - What?

No, nothing.

There is something I really wanted to ask you.

What kind of man is Ken?

He's not just a cook.

I have never seen something being that clear to my father.

To be honest, I don't know a lot about Ken either.

I mean, I don't understand.

But I think he's just a cook.

He's really thickheaded when it comes to that.

Thickheaded?

Besides, I think he has gotten used to Nobunaga-sama.

Have you seen Nobunaga-sama before?

He's quite something, you know?

I give up.

This is good.

It's been a while since I laughed this much.

If fathers condition gets worse because of your cooking...

No, if fathers illness gets even a little bit worse...

Then there will be no need for you.

Then you will be disqualified as a cook.

Kill Shingen.

That's the only way for you to survive.

Make delicious things for Oyakata-sama.

Good...

Your food gently enters my body.

I'm a cook.

As long as there are people who need my cooking...

I will make the best for them.

That's all I can do now.

A potage of pumpkin and wolfberry fruits.

The betaine in wolfberry fruit is good for the functioning of the liver.

Pumpkin is contains a lot of beta-carotene and vitamin C...

which is good for the mucous membrane and boosts the power to overcome illness.

Rice porridge or green peas and turnip.

The amylase in turnips helps the digestion and protect the stomach.

The vitamin B in green peas are effective against fatigue.

Substitute head of the kitchen Inoue Kyonosuke has given his all to make this dish.

This is broiled ujimaru.

It's just a bad imitation of Ken's food.

He's eating it.

So he has given up on Ken returning?

A sweet vinegar ankake with carp and daikon radish...

and a soup of tofu skin and hijiki seaweed.

This is different from rice porridge and noodle soup.

It has become more like a meal. What is the meaning of this?

Yes. Until now I brought you food which was good for your internals and against fatigue.

Because lately your speed of eating, complexion and appetite improved...

I changed the food to something more nutritional.

Carp works anti-inflammatory, helps the circulation and has a good effect on the blood circulation.

I'm thankful for this kind of food.

It's really delicious.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing...

To see someone enjoying his food is the best thing to a cook.

Even if your food cures an illness and leads to Oda Nobunaga being slaughtered?

Slaughter? Does he mean that he's gonna kill Nobunaga?

Answer me.

As fast as the wind.

As quiet as the forest.

As daring as fire.

Immovable as the mountain.

Fuurinkazan!

Nobunaga-sama!

Nobunaga-sama!

If Shingen gets better because of my cooking, then Nobunaga will be in danger.

Ken...

Natsu-san.

Are you alright? You were having a nightmare.

I'm sorry. Its nothing.

If you are worrying about something, then you can tell me.

I'm fine.

But. - I'm fine.

You should take a good rest, Natsu-san.

I see.

Good night.

I can't even talk with him.

I can't do anything for Ken.

A man's life of 50 years

under the sky is nothing compared to

the age of this world.

Life is but a fleeting dream, an illusion --

Is there anything...

that lasts forever?

Is there anything that lasts forever?

To go to the capital, Takeda Shingen had to seize Tokugawa.

In that case, he had to pay attention to blocking the movement of Tokugawa's ally Oda Nobunaga.

At that time, he had sent Matsunaga Hisahide, Kennyo, Azai and Asakura a secret message.

What Takeda Shingen tried to form was a second anti-Nobunaga network.

Oda and Uesugi's movements are blocked.

Katsuyori, what would you do?

Yes! I would depart to cut off Tokugawa's supply line.

What will you do about Houjou?

Houjou? Didn't we form an alliance with him last year?

Katsuyori.

Don't disappoint me.

We can't trust Houjou.

He might use our departure to attack us from behind.

Don't you understand that?!

Katsuyori-sama, what's wrong?

I wanted to talk to you.

Am I bothering you?

No, I don't mind being helpful to someone.

Why did you, as a woman, want to become a blacksmith?

My brother passed away in the war and my father had gotten ill.

I had to do it to eat.

Did your father allow it?

I didn't tell him.

He must have known...

that I would never be able to catch up to my brother as blacksmith.

Men and women have different qualities.

The quality of having the power to strike...

Quality...

No! Let go!

Different qualities, different status...

Everyone knows that.

I am not inferior to my father as a soldier.

That's my pride.

But what should I do our difference of nature?

No matter how close I come to it, or mimic it...

I am just an inferior good compared to my father.

Inferior good?

I can only see you as Katsuyori-sama.

Natsu, thank you.

Can you let me go now?

No. That's an order.

My father has given me permission.

You will spend the rest of your life with me.

Natsu-san?!

Wait a minute! I haven't heard anything about that!

Let me go!

I won't harm her.

She will be a maid in Katsuyori's residence.

No! - If you disobey...

then she will die.

Are you married to her? Are you in a relationship?

No...

Then I don't have to listen to you.

You will go to the capital with me.

To the capital?

So he's going to the capital?

Will Shingen fight with Nobunaga?

Go. - Come.

I have information!

I got a message from a spy in the Ishiyama Hongan-ji...

that Kennyo has ordered for a Buddhist uprising in Etchu.

Etchu? So that Shingen is planning to go west.

I think he will go to the capital.

So he's finally coming?

Send a messenger to Shingen.

Natsu-san!

Shingen is going to the capital. Poison him now.

I can't.

We have no time. Escape in the chaos!

I can't leave Natsu-san behind.

I heard about Natsu.

The fact that she's being liked by Katsuyori means that her safety will be promised.

Not when I kill Shingen.

If I kill Shingen and escape.

Then there's no way that she will be safe.

Do you care for Natsu that much?

That I have survived until now is not because I wanted to go back to Heisei.

It's because Natsu was there.

You're a cooking expert!

You must have been the cook of some castle.

It was Natsu-san who guided me.

This is your katana.

Fight and survive with this. Come on.

Natsu-san's words made me feel like I had my feet on the ground.

I have survived because Natsu-san was there.

What will happen to Nobunaga-sama?

Are you saying that you won't kill Nobunaga-sama's enemy?

So you don't care about what will happen to Nobunaga-sama?

Oyakata-sama is calling for you.

I received a gift from Oda Nobunaga.

It came with this letter.

It said that I had to give it to you.

To me?

It seems that he wants to say that he knows that you're here.

Open it.

My knife.

Knife? I have never seen one with that shape.

Natsu-san has made this specially for me. I always used it in Gifu.

I see. I know his intention.

Don't you know? It's a farewell gift.

Farewell gift? - To me and you.

You were abandoned by Oda Nobunaga.

Now you can live as my cook without reserve.

I can also attack Nobunaga without reserve.

Did he abandon me?

Is Nobunaga a man like that?

From now on you are the head of the kitchen.

Death.

I see. That's it.

Now I know the meaning of what he wanted to tell me.

He's not telling me to kill Shingen.

Fight and be prepared to die.

That's what he wanted to tell me.

Fight with this. Be prepared to die.

Just as I expect!

What I can do now...

That's to stop Shingen.

I might still make it in time.

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Todays dinner is jajamen.

Another kind again...

Jajamen is a noodle dish from the Ming.

Originally it is made by cooking scraped meat in miso, but today I used carp instead.

Stir it well and eat it.

Carp?

It is said that carp has the strongest medicinal effect among daily food.

In the Ming it has also used to cure illnesses since ancient times.

Fortunately there is plenty of carp in Kai.

Ken, it there something you want to tell me?

There is. - What?

Shingen-sama, please rest here instead of going to the capital.

No matter what food I make, if you are overdoing it, then your illness won't heal.

Shingen-sama if loved by everyone in Kai.

You are needed here.

And Nobunaga-sama is a tough enemy.

I don't think a sick Shingen-sama will be able to easily attack him.

Can't attack? Because of your cooking I feel great.

Are you trying to protect Nobunaga by stopping me from going to the capital?

You are still a vassal of Nobunaga in your heart?

If you want to stop me, then you can just poison my food.

Why aren't you doing that?

Why are you making these splendid dishes for me?

Because I'm a cook.

Don't worry.

The capital...

I was never a match for that Oda to take over the capital.

It's the difference between our birthplaces.

Kai and Owari, the distance to the capital.

Kai is full of mountains, the way to the capital is too long.

This Kai is too surrounded by strong enemies.

Even though I subjugated Kai, Shinano and Suruga...

It has taken me until now.

And now...

This illness...

Of course, I won't say that Nobunaga had no opponents.

When Oda was still the daimyo of the small country of Owari...

Originally, Nobunaga was should have lost that war.

That time, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had a great force, invaded Owari.

The Battle of Okehazama.

What saved him was a sudden downpour.

Rain?

This will erase the sound of the horses footsteps.

Our only aim is the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto!

Imagawa had a large army of 20.000 men while Oda had only 2000.

He took advantage of the rain and attacked Imagawa's base.

It was a great victory with the decapitating of Imagawa Yoshimoto's head.

This war was an opportunity for the fall of the Imagawa...

and Oda rapidly took control.

Even though that man doesn't believe in God or Buddha...

he receives the favor of them more than anyone else!

Why do you want to kill Nobunaga-sama when you know it's beyond your power?

It's not me who wants to kill Nobunaga.

It's Katsuyori.

I have to go to Katsuyori-sama's room?

Yes, Katsuyori-sama is waiting for you.

I don't want to. I was only said to look after him.

Shut up!

If you refuse, then that will be the end of that cook!

Katsuyori's talent as a great soldier surpasses mine.

In five days we will hold a banquet for the chief vassals in the territory to request the proceeding to the capital.

Katsuyori will be in charge of the banquet.

Ken, you will prepare the food.

You want me to cook for a banquet?

There I will make Katsuyori the head of the clan.

Shingen will appoint his successor?

The aim of this war is the annihilation of Tokugawa and the weakening of the Oda clan.

It will be a threat to Kai if the Oda clan gains more power.

We will snatch away all that we can while Oda can't move.

After I die, Katsuyori will bring down the weakened Oda...

and restore the Muromachi shogunate.

Restore the Muromachi shogunate?

Therefore, the Takeda clan will be at peace.

Ken, you will serve under Katsuyori for the rest of your life.

You will be the power to bring down Nobunaga!

I will?

Ken...

I will serve Katsuyori?

To bring down Nobunaga?

I can't give up yet.

I still have a chance to stop Shingen.

I will prepare the food for the banquet in five days.

What should I make? This is the last chance.

A dish to stop Takeda Shingen... A dish for Oda Nobunaga.

Shingen. Nobunaga. Shingen.

Masu salmon and plums. Both are local products from Kai.

Your cooking enters my body gently.

Together with Mt. Hiei, burn down all those rotten monks in the country!

If they are called God or Buddha, then they're my enemies too!

Sacrificing himself to protect the properties and the lives...

of the people who live in Kai, Takeda Shingen.

Continue on your own way without hesitating, Oda Nobunaga.

Dragon! That's it!

I have to make that!

I will stop Shingen with that dish.

I will save Natsu-san and return to Nobunaga.

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Farewell Takeda Shingen. The final battle!!

Farewell Takeda Shingen

Farewell, Takeda Shingen. Farewell Takeda Shingen

Farewell Takeda Shingen

What's happening with Shingen?! Farewell Takeda Shingen

What's happening with Shingen?!

Depart!

Shingen's departure to death!! Depart!

Shingen's departure to death!!

Please don't go to the capital. Shingen's departure to death!!

Please don't go to the capital.

You should get rid of Ken.

Farewell, my beloved cook.

The last supper is a banquet Farewell, my beloved cook.

Will he get killed? The last supper is a banquet
