Original subtitles

Make an appropriate meal for me tomorrow morning.

If it's not appropriate for me...

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

It's a dish from the Ming. Noodle soup.

How delicious.

It's a dish that your body wants, an appropriate dish for you.

You have made dishes that were good for my body until the very end.

That's why I can't kill you.

But if I meet you as an opponent in the future, then I will kill you.

Farewell, my beloved cook.

I, who had been released by the strongest warrior of the Warring States, Takeda Shingen...

I finally returned back to Oda Nobunaga's place.

But I had no time to rest.

Nobunaga had given me another impossible problem to solve.

Save Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu?

Me?

That's no joke.

Ieyasu... The Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Edo shogunate.

So after Shingen it's Ieyasu?

Save him before the 25.000 soldiers of the Takeda army take him down.

Go to Hamamatsu castle!

It's you who revived Shingen.

Then save Ieyasu from that Shingen!

Ken...

I have no other choice.

Ieyasu-san was a good man.

Is that the problem?

It's fine.

Don't worry.

What will happen to history if I can't save Ieyasu?

Go, Ken!

Yes!

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.

Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan

1572, the third year of the Genki Era.

In the runup to defeat Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen's...

soldiers moved towards Totomi, Tokugawa Ieyasu's territory...

to fight Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was allied with Nobunaga.

The amount of soldiers was 25.000 .

On the other hand, the Tokugawa army had only 8000 men, less than one third of that.

Episode 6: Ieyasu's biggest crisis! Save him with Heisei soup

Is Ieyasu-san at Hamamatsu castle?

It's only a matter of time before Futamata castle, the stronghold that protects Hamamatsu castle, falls in Takeda's hands.

If Futamata castle falls, then the Takeda army will finally go toward Hamamatsu castle, right?

Hamamatsu castle will probably be besieged.

Besieged?

So they're holding the castle?

We're going there now, so...

So I have to shut myself in there too?

Natsu-san!

That's dangerous. Do you want to kill me?!

Depending on the situation...

Natsu-san, what are you doing?

What?

Do I have to wait for you to come back again?

I understand.

Let's go.

Don't hold hands...

Hamamatsu castle

Good work on coming here from all the way.

I'm thankful.

Ken!

Is that you, Ken? Natsu is with you too?!

It's been a while. - Hello.

Did Nobunaga order you? I'm thankful.

So...

What will you make for me?

What dish will you make?

Right away?

Tono, think about the situation.

You're right.

I shouldn't think of food when Futamata castle is having a bad time.

He's an openhearted and cheerful person.

But he doesn't look that dependable.

Did this man really create the Edo period, which lasted for almost 300 years?

Futamata castle

The Takeda army had surrounded Futamata castle, Tokugawa's stronghold. Futamata castle

The Takeda army had surrounded Futamata castle, Tokugawa's stronghold.

Oda sent reinforcements to Tokugawa?

Yes, but it's only 3000 men.

3000?

Together with Tokugawa's 8000, makes 11.000.

That Nobunaga wants Tokugawa to besiege the castle, huh?

If they attack the castle, then they will have at least three times more soldiers than the besieged.

That fox will have to endure for a while.

Tono, in that time, you...

I will get ready and break the network.

At the time, an anti-Nobunaga alliance was formed centered around shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki with Takeda Shingen and the Ishiyama Hongan-ji's Kennyo.

The anti-Nobunaga network.

How do you want to break the network?

First I have to shut up that cunning shogun Yoshiaki.

A letter with seventeen complaints?

What complaints?!

These are all complaints and commands from Nobunaga to me!

How much of a fool do you think I am?

Do you think I am a puppet who is leaving everything up to the network?!

That Shingen...

Does he want to invade my territory with his exhausted soldiers after confronting Tokugawa's siege?

Nobunaga, do you want to use the siege to stall for time?

In that case I will drag Tokugawa out and destroy him.

Shingen!

I will meet you in my territory!

First we have to take care of Tokugawa's stronghold Futamata castle!

Futamata castle fell because of a general attack of the Takeda army.

The castle commander Nakane Masateru...

surrendered the castle in exchange for the lives of the members of the castle garrison.

Nakane Masateru, I have surrendered Futamata castle!

I'm very sorry!

Tono! Now that Futamata castle has fallen...

according to information Takeda will now head to Hamamatsu castle!

I see.

Rise, pulse, miso, salt...

the dried good like kombu are OK too.

Natsu-san, how about over there?

We have plenty of firewood, ropes and oil.

We also have a water well. With all of these we should be able to hold out for a month.

Really?

I mean, that tono-sama...

Ieyasu-san?

Nobunaga-sama has some problems too, but he's dependable right?

Compared to him, Ieyasu-sama is a bit...

And the opponent is that Takeda Shingen, you know?

But the man who said "if the cuckoo doesn't sing, wait for it" will rule the country.

It's nothing.

You really like cuckoos, don't you?

What's wrong?

There!

Wait!

You shouldn't do that! Wait!

Let me go! Let me die!

You shouldn't die!

I should have killed myself at Futamata castle instead of shamefully coming here.

I can only apologize to Tono by dying!

No! It hurts, you know?!

Let me go! - No!

Let me go! - Someone! Come!

Nakane wanted to kill himself?!

Yes, he wanted to apologize to you by dying.

What a fool!

Ieyasu-san, you don't want him to kill himself, right?

Of course not.

I have a favor to ask.

Let me make a dish for Nakane.

A dish for Nakane?

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Will you give that to Nakane-sama?

Yes. it's an appropriate dish for Nakane-san.

No, this is bad!

You will get killed if you give this to him.

Ieyasu-san has been leading the life of a prisoner ever since he was young.

He's a nice man who knows the pain of others.

He might be too nice.

That's why he should know the meaning behind this dish.

Tokugawa Ieyasu will understand.

He finally went for seppuku.

Nakane-dono is a poor man too...

How sad.

Tono, what are you planning?

What is Ken doing?

Thank you for waiting.

We have been waiting for you.

Nakane, he has made a dish for you.

What is this?

A bowl of sliced kombu and sea bream fish cake.

That is... - Why did he...

Kombu on sea bream?

Isn't that a dish for a happy celebration?

It was no good after all.

What is there to celebrate?!

Are you saying that we have to celebrate that they took away Futamata castle?!

Cook! Are you making fun of Tokugawa?!

It's fine!

This dish is fine.

Nakane, good job on getting back.

I'm glad.

Will you help me again?

Come on, eat.

Delicious!

Happy!

Are you alright?

Don't worry.

Hurry!

So he's finally coming?

Come if you dare, Takeda Shingen!

Translation/Sync: Super Saiyan

The battle at Hamamatsu castle has finally started.

Tono, you seem to be worried.

What will Shingen, who is good at war, do?

They're here! It's the Takeda army!

They changed direction?

The Takeda army isn't coming!

What?! - The Takeda army...

passed by this castle and headed west towards Mikatagahara!

It seems like they won't stop at Hamamatsu castle!

They're just passing by? Why?!

Takeda is just doing what he wants on my territory...

and is telling us that his opponent is Oda and not Tokugawa?!

Is he saying that he has no time for this Ieyasu?!

Tono! Don't be rash! We have to wait and see what will happen.

I know.

No, wait...

Bring a map!

With this amount we should be fine if it comes to a siege, right?

There won't be a siege.

Kaede-san, where did you come from?

The Takeda army isn't stopping at Hamamatsu castle.

They're not coming here?

So all the rice balls we made will go to waste.

More important, what will Ieyasu-sama do?

If Takeda Shingen isn't stopping here, then he will attack Nobunaga-sama, right?

I have to observe Takeda's movements.

Ieyasu-san's pride must have fallen to pieces...

Puraido?

Something like self-respect.

Self-respect, huh?

What did history say that Ieyasu-san would do after this?

Mikatagahara is a vast land surrounded by cliffs.

The only way to get out is to go down the Houda hill.

They will have to break up their formation to go downhill...

The supreme commander Shingen will be at the back of the formation.

If we attack them from behind before they're down the hill...

then we might be able to take Takeda Shingen's head.

By moving past the castle...

Tokugawa's pride will be hurt.

There is no commander that wouldn't be.

But your pride is of no use if we meet here.

Until now Tokugawa has just been waiting for reinforcements in despair.

That's when he suddenly sees the light.

I might be able to take Takeda Shingen's head.

A too dazzling light.

A small light the size of the eye of a needle that will make him dizzy.

We will pursuit the Takeda army!

Depart!

We're departing! - We're going to Mikatagahara!

Mikatagahara?

He said they're departing.

Mikatagahara...

Tokugawa Ieyasu...

is still young.

Turn around!

The fish-scale formation.

No way!

They're not going downhill. They're getting into position!

He lured us out!

"Spread the wings!" Crane-wings formation!

Mikatagahara... The battle of Mikatagahara!

Ken!

Ieyasu-san, you are losing...

to Takeda Shingen!

Third unit, spear corps. Attack!

Don't back out! Our only aim is Shingen's head!

Your precious vassals are losing their lives!

Tokugawa Ieyasu had fallen into Takeda Shingen's trap and suffered a great loss at Mikatagahara.

Ieyasu had no other choice but to sacrifice his courageous vassals and take flight.

Ieyasu-san!

Ieyasu-san...

His head! Take Tokugawa Ieyasu's head!

They're here? Tono, hurry back to the castle!

Tono! Leave this to me.

Nakane, I will fight too.

There's no way that I will run away alone!

We will only be able to make it somehow if you stay alive!

Nakane...

Protect Tono and take him to the castle!

Hurry!

Come, Tono.

Ken, your sea bream fish cake was delicious.

Nakane-san!

Furinkazan!

Takeda Shingen...

Tokugawa Ieyasu...

I will take your head.

This is where it ends.

Ieyasu!

Stop!

Ken...

Shingen-san, don't kill him.

You can't kill him. History needs him.

There he is! This way!

Oyakata-sama!

Cook Ken? Why is he here?

Follow them! Don't let Ieyasu go!

Ken, you're standing in my way again.

So history needs Ieyasu?

Then I...

Tono! - Ken!

Natsu-san! Just a little bit more.

Don't let Ieyasu go! Spears forward!

Watch out!

Close the gate!

Close the gates! Prepare for a siege!

Are you safe, tono?! Hurry, this way...

Tono!

Why... Why did I depart?

They don't have a lot of soldiers. They will fall soon.

This Akiyama Nobutomo will take Tokugawa Ieyasu's head!

So fell into Shingen's trap?

It appears that Ieyasu-sama has locked himself in Hamamatsu castle.

So this is the end, Ieyasu?

How about him? - Him?

Cook... Ken.

I was wrong.

I lost my precious vassals.

Were they really fine with losing their lives in exchange for my insignificant pride?

Here.

What is this?!

A war dish. The war hasn't ended yet.

A war dish? - Yes.

It's a miso nikuman. Please eat it.

Miso, huh?

A taste I have gotten used to since my childhood...

When I was a prisoner, my vassals...

have waited all this time for me to return...

while being forced to be farmers or something equal to that.

And yet they have lost their lives because of me...

Ieyasu-san, you have to live for them too.

You can't die here.

Nobunaga-sama will open the way, Hideyoshi-san will succeed him...

and then you will end this crazy world filled with wars.

I will? - That's right.

You will establish a shogunate in Edo.

A period that will bring peace for almost 300 years.

A shogunate in Edo? What are you saying?

Isn't that a deserted place with nothing special?

Please forget what I said. It's nothing.

Anyway, you are Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Please remember who you are.

I am indeed Tokugawa Ieyasu. - Right?

So think of a way to overcome this pinch.

Pinchi? - Crisis. I mean crisis.

Even if you ask me...

There's a war strategy from the Ming called the empty castle.

Lay yourself open for attack on purpose when you're at a numerical inferiority to confuse the enemy.

But it will be hard in the current situation.

Lay yourself open for attack on purpose...

And it would be good is we'd be able to surprise the enemy.

To surprise them?

That's it!

It's wink or swim, but that's the only thing.

Excuse me!

Come on. Warring States cuisine.

Akiyama-sama, what is happening?

Why? Why did the gate open?

It's as if they're telling us to get in.

Do you think it's a trap?

They shouldn't have had the time to set up a trap.

It shouldn't be a trap.

Let's go.

What is this sound?!

Akiyama-sama!

I don't know what is happening, but something is awaiting us!

Retreat! We're retreating for now!

They're retreating!

We have been saved.

What is this?

It's oil.

We should be glad that we prepared a lot for the siege.

If you put a drop of water in hot oil...

it will boil immediately and cause a steam explosion.

It's the same principle as the flambé we use in cooking.

Furanbe?

As if you were told to just take Tokugawa's head?

The empty castle, huh?

I don't think the wounded Tokugawa has thought of that.

Ken again?

But this war will be a victory for our army.

Over time Hamamatsu castle will definitely...

We have no time.

Go.

So God and Buddha are choosing Nobunaga until the end?

A dream is a dream.

The capital is too far after all.

The strongest military commander of the Warring States, Takeda Shingen...

would soon after the victory in Mikatagahara...

die in Shinano, far away from the capital.

His age at death: 53.

But his death would be kept a secret for three years as according to his will.

For them to retreat here, perhaps something happened to Shingen.

You're right.

Shogun Yoshiaki must have lost his patience too.

That will be the best chance.

The best chance for what?

O-Nou, don't you understand?

Tono, don't tell me...

Yes, I will.

Retreating? Just one more step and he would have been able to attack Nobunaga!

What is Shingen thinking?

Enough!

I... I will take action myself!

I am not a puppet!

Just you wait, detestable devil king Nobunaga!

Thank you for everything.

Ken, may I ask you for one last thing?

It's Ieyasu-sama.

He is still blaming himself.

I thought that you might be able to make something.

To get to him by something delicious?

I have an idea. I would like for all of you to cooperate with me.

Tono, excuse me.

Mourning clothes?

Tono, I was thinking of holding a funeral banquet.

Will you allow that?

Funeral?

A funeral for the men who died in Mikatagahara.

This way those who died in battle will not be able to rest in peace.

I will allow it.

Please bring the food!

This is?

It's called consommé soup.

It's beautiful.

It's a soup that shines like gold.

It goes well with the flavor of the meat.

But that's not all. It has a deep complex flavor.

And yet the taste and appearance are crystal clear.

But is this a dish for a funeral?

A dish for a funeral shouldn't be beautiful!

Come, cook!

What is that dirty-looking thing?

It's consommé soup.

Consome?

Are these the same things?

Tono, we think that the current Tono...

is like the soup that is in this pan.

What?!

Are you saying that I'm the same as that dirty soup?!

The undiluted solution of the consommé soup is made...

by adding water to a well kneaded mix of minced duck meat, onion, carrot and egg white.

Egg white becomes hard at 58 degrees and becomes completely solid at 80 degrees.

It's almost done.

Please look.

The turbidity disappeared at once.

Using the solidification of egg white is a technique called clarifé.

The ingredients that are scattered in the turbid soup...

become one when they're heated...

and make a clear soup.

Tono, those who have died at war this time...

have all fallen while facing Takeda.

Not even one has fallen while running away.

Please endure being the laughingstock from other daimyo's for now.

Accept the slander of being the fool who challenged Takeda.

But accept the good and bad elements of the slander and the feelings of the defeated men...

and please keep the light burning!

Everyone!

I don't know why...

Let's stop Takeda while he is retreating!

Let's use this time to take our castles back!

All troops, get ready for battle!

Ken, thank you.

I don't want to let you go, but as long as you are with Nobunaga-dono...

we will meet again. - Yes.

I also liked your grand story.

Grand story?

The one where I rule the country.

Rule the country? - That one?

But that was a joke.

I see. So it was a dream after all?

Did you tell those incomprehensible things to Ieyasu-sama too?

I'm sorry. - No problem.

But if something like that does happen...

then I will open a shogunate in Edo, just like you said.

Edo?

Yes.

Good work. The fox was happy too.

Ken.

Prepare a reward for everyone.

Yes.

You were the one who did the most, didn't you?

Why should you make a reward for yourself?

That absurd part, is the best thing about Nobunaga-sama.

Really? If you say that, then he will give you another impossible task again.

This is a cream puff.

It's so sweet.

It sticks and wraps around my tongue, this is the best sweetness.

The thing inside is called custard cream.

In it is kneaded wheat flour, sugar, milk and egg yolk.

Maybe I should have made petit ones.

Pucchi?

This sweetness that makes me sweetness is sugar after all?

You can eat this luxurious things only at Oyakata-sama's place.

The sugar that had been presented to shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki-sama...

was sent here by Akechi Mitsuhide-sama.

So if shogun Yoshiaki disappears...

then it will be easier for us to obtain sugar?

You're right, I think.

In that case, you have to overthrow the Muromachi shogunate, Ken.

You will overthrow the Muromachi shogunate with your hands!

I will overthrow the Muromachi shogunate?

Go.

What is this impossible request?

Heisei cuisine makes the Muromachi shogunate fall!?

Overthrow the Muromachi shogunate with Heisei cuisine!!

Are you letting me eat this?! Overthrow the Muromachi shogunate with Heisei cuisine!!

Can't you eat that in this period? Overthrow the Muromachi shogunate with Heisei cuisine!!

Can't you eat that in this period?

Your cooking moves history.

Final chapter!! A turtle dish will unify the country!? Your cooking moves history.

If you want to survive, then you have no other choice but to eat this. Final chapter!! A turtle dish will unify the country!?

Please eat it! Final chapter!! A turtle dish will unify the country!?

Please eat it!

The enemy is in the Honno-ji.

We will present the theme song of this drama to 100 people.

Details are on the homepage of the show.
