A fool learns from experience; The sage learns from history ― Otto von Bismarck

Seek out Nobunaga

I'll smoke him out and chop off his head!

The 2nd of June, 1582. Honno temple in Kyoto

Mitsuhide Akechi's uprising...

led to Nobunaga Oda's exit from history when he was about to unite the country

What happened to Nobunaga Oda's body?

What was the reason for the rebellion?

How did Hideyoshi Hashiba, who subdued Mitsuhide,

return to Kyoto from the Chugoku region so swiftly afterwards?

The Honno temple incident contains many enigmas

English subs by NLK1971 Thanks to Makiko I.

- Looks naff. Want it? - Nope

"Matchmaking spots", here...

Hello

It's me. You got there okay?

Yeah, I'm about to head to the hotel

I've just finished a meeting

I've another matter― So straight to dinner?

Yeah

But it's amazing you booked "Yoshioka"― I can't wait

Don't spoil your appetite though

- Yoshioka - Okay

Avoid snacks

Yeah

See you later

Welcome

Delightful

This please

Thank you, 800 yen

These Konpeito have been made the same way since the sengoku era

The sengoku era?

Yes

And they were a favourite of Nobunaga Oda

Please go ahead and bite one

Oh, so you bite on them

200 yen change

Miss Kuramoto

Yes

Your reservation...

is for next month

And today?

We're fully booked

Now what?

HONNOJI HOTEL

Take care

It doesn't work

Oh, excuse me

It's broken

I see

Welcome to the Honnoji hotel

I'd like a room tonight for two

Is there one available?

I guess not. Kyoto's so crowded

- Actually, another hotel... - Yes―

It can be arranged. Here

Why is it called "Honnoji hotel"?

Perhaps this was the site of Honno temple?

No, the site of Honno temple is close to Horikawa block four

It doesn't exactly augur well for a hotel

If it had another name―

"Nobunaga hotel", perhaps

Nobunaga―that's a bit ominous too

Your room key

Thanks

Huh?

Don't move!

You work for the hotel?

It's some sort of event?

- Peculiar clothing - Peculiar clothing

Who are you?

What's your business here?

- Are you in pain? - Stay back!

What is it?

Your stomach hurts?

My stomach...

Stomach?

Well, in that case...

Have some of this medicine if you like

Medicine?

Since yesterday I've had this dull pain in my stomach

Actually, tonight...

I'll be introduced to Kyoichi's parents for the first time

So I suppose I'm kind of anxious

I...

will marry him

That's worthy of celebration

Actually

I've been anxious too

I've an important tea ceremony...

in front of my lord

The thought of making a faux pas is terrifying

How is it?

The pain's fading

Good

Where did you get hold of this?

You buy it at places like Matsukiyo

Oh, you can have it if you want

Really?

It's much appreciated

Strange clothes...

You should leave quickly

If my lord finds you there'll be trouble

Is your master as intimidating as that?

He's not just intimidating

He's cruel and demonic

Really?

The other day―

Just because a dish served to a guest had a fishy odour...

Son of a bitch―

Letting a guest eat this crap!

I apologise!

Here

Horrible

A master like that can't be tolerated

You should quit

Quit? No chance

Why?

Silly

I'm not allowed to leave of my own volition

As well as losing my head, I'd forever be a laughing stock

Your head?

Come on

Not enough? How many more?

Three more's fine

That way, that way

Lord Otsuka!

Who's that?

A guest... here for the tea ceremony

And a foreigner?

Yes!

Ah... this way, this way, this way

Um, I have an awkward question―

What day, month and year is it now?

June 1st, 1582

That's what I figured

I'd a feeling this wasn't the Heisei era

Just keep your head down and stay out of sight

The master has arrived

Everybody, lift your heads

Wonderful specimens

Such masterpieces haven't been seen before

Our lord surely holds supremacy in this land

They seem to be Hatsuhana and Nitta tea caddies

Ah, however...

the Narashiba tea caddy hasn't been found

Soshitsu Shimai, show the item in your possession

It's the Narashiba tea caddy!

I believe you should present it to the master

It was promised that today it's only for display

Actually, let me humbly say―

This tea container is more important than my life

I cannot hand it over, even to my lord

Please, please pardon me

Soon the country will be unified

When that occurs, wealthy merchants will be entrusted with even more trade

Think carefully―

About what will happen then if you defy me

Go ahead

Please accept it

- Here - Eh?

You mustn't be threatened into giving up a prized item

I see

And your master has plenty more...

Insolent person

Scoundrel

This calls for a beheading

You're joking, right?

Sorry! I won't do it again

Forgive me, I'm really sorry!

I beg you, don't kill me!

Thank you

Room 405

Something wrong?

Ah, well...

The customer wasn't there

Later... I'll be back later

You'll see

Why?

It can't be

Why?

Um...

Do you know a good local shoe shop?

It's good?

Yeah, unbeatable!

I'm glad I'm alive

Sorry to barge in

So the meal was to your taste?

Yes, really delicious

Thanks

I'm glad I'm alive

Don't exaggerate

Because...

Sorry! I won't do it again

I beg you, don't kill me!

It's been a while

Yeah

It appears you come to Kyoto now and then

Why don't you visit?

My work schedule's always packed

I've no time for elegant dining

Ah, I see

Well, please look after yourself

What's that kind of talk for?

- Kyoichi, um... - Hmm?

Oh, right, this is my father

Hello

And this is his restaurant

I wondered if you'd notice

Excuse me

- I'm Mayuko Kuramoto - Hello

Um, I'm his father

It's sultry today

Sorry about this―

Making you come all the way from Tokyo

No, I'm honoured to be invited to your golden wedding anniversary party

He says he wants to announce the engagement...

and make a fuss about it with his friends

He's really hyped up

The wedding anniversary seems like a bonus

He said the ceremony will be held in Kyoto

I may be mistaken

I was given to understand it'll be next April

I see

If it's okay with Kyoichi then I'm fine with that

I see

Well, the circumstances around your job might get in the way

In March...

the company I was working for went bankrupt

I'm looking for my next place of employment

And what kind of job are you looking for?

Oh... well

Isn't there something you want to do?

I don't have any special talent

No, not something that you can do―

What you want to do

What I want to do?

I've been summoned

Welcome back

Um, do you have a tourist guide?

Certainly

This firm has gone into liquidation

Are there any positions you're hoping for?

Not really

It's advantageous to have a qualification

I've a teacher's permit

Getting a teacher's licence as a fall back...

doesn't do any good these days

Teachers are in surplus too

How will I make a living now?

Let's get married

What?

It's a bit antiquated but the role's permanent

Sounds good

But I wonder if it's right when we've only been going a few months

It's not right or wrong

You've lost your job― You should count yourself lucky

That's right

Someone like you should just hurry up and marry

And you've no real ambitions?

Give me one of those

It's tasty though― Give me some octopus then

Your tourist guide

Thank you

Um...

About this...

It seems in the period Nobunaga Oda allowed Christian preaching,

it was brought here by missionaries

It may possibly have been in Nobunaga's possession

Say―

Why this current job?

I believe it's my vocation

I see

- Sorry about that - You're late

- You've decided? - Movie Land!

- Take care - See you later

She's not there!

You've found her?

No, it seems she must be elsewhere now

I'll go and search over there

Hello there

God!

Hi, I'm back again

Your lord is still angry then

He commanded that you be brought before him

He'll have you killed

Oh dear, I don't want to die

Then why did you do that?

Because even if you're high and mighty,

using threats to purloin a treasured item is inexcusable

Who cares about that― Defying my lord is a death sentence

Just over one tea urn?

It's not just a tea urn

He who has the three tea caddies...

is regarded as the leading force in the land

They represent the nation

How can a tea urn be more valuable than a life?

That's just how it is. It's the law

The girl's here!

I'm really sorry―

About my indiscretion before

No doubt you're angry?

How would you like some konpeito?

- Here... - That's rude!

Step back

I'm sorry

Wait

Where did you obtain them?

Ryokujuan Shimizu

Bought in town?

Yes

Don't lie

Konpeito are precious― They're not available in town

Even missionaries only rarely have them

Missionaries?

...in the period Nobunaga Oda allowed Christian preaching,

it was brought here by missionaries

But I'm surprised you know of our lord's love for konpeito

And they were a favourite of Nobunaga Oda

Nobunaga―That's a bit ominous too

He's cruel and demonic

The master has arrived

Soon the country will be unified

Nobunaga...

Oda...

Is it possible you're...

Nobunaga Oda?

How insolent! Address our lord properly

Aren't you Nobunaga?

So, that's Nobunaga?

What about it? So use the proper honorific

Amazing!

I'm face to face with Nobunaga Oda!

And still

Huh? Then perhaps...

you are...

Hideyoshi?

No!

In that case

Ieyasu?

N-o!

- Akechi? - No!

You can't be... Ranmaru Mori

I'm Ranmaru Mori

I'd a totally different image

You

Yes

Who are you?

Where are you from?

Edo?

I have arrived from Edo

As expected, the sengoku era is scary

Every day, people kill each other

Edo's also war-torn

Oh, certainly

If we subdue Chugoku and Shikoku, the troubled times will be over

Peace is just around the corner

Is that so?

Go into town and you'll see

The people are living happily with benign smiles on their faces

What?

You can tell me honestly

Nobody's smiling

I don't know about the world outside

But none of the people here are smiling

Everyone is anxious and glum-faced―

To the extent they're afflicted with stomach ailments

They don't seem happy at all

You go too far

But even you said that Nobunaga is cruel and demonic, didn't you?

I didn't!

You did though

No way!

Think back to when we first met...

My lord

This woman seems a little weak in the head

Huh? That's rude

Further dialogue is futile― I'll expel her at once

Don't

Confine her so she won't escape

Is he angry by some chance?

I'm angry too

Eh? Why?

Just be glad it isn't a beheading

Hey, where are we going?

I'm to be imprisoned in a dungeon?

We don't do that

Liar

Castles have dungeons and in this scenario people are locked up

I saw it on TV

This isn't a castle

Be quiet in this place

...in Nobunaga's possession

You're Nobunaga oda?

This isn't a castle

Excuse me

Is this place a temple?

Indeed

Why is Nobunaga here at this temple?

Doesn't he reside in a castle?

The lord always stays here when he comes to Kyoto

It's like a hotel?

What?

Surely this isn't...

Honno temple?

This is Honno temple of the Nichiren sect

Allure of the Honno temple incident

Hey, wait!

I have to tell them something!

- She's gone - Where'd she go?

Welcome back

Honno temple incident

Nobunaga Oda killed himself

2nd of June... at dawn

Mitsuhide's uprising

From here we'll head for Bichu Takamatsu castle...

as reinforcements for Governor Hashiba

Now, we depart!

Um, excuse me

Actually―

I've just seen Nobunaga Oda

Ranmaru Mori was there too

At Movie Land?

Honno temple

The real Nobunaga and Ranmaru were there

The elevator...

is connected to the Honno temple of June 1st, 1582

That must be difficult

How do I get there?

The elevator doesn't always take me there

How do I get to Honno temple?

Um, well...

It may be better not to go

Why?

The 1st June, 1582 is the day before...

the Honno temple incident

It's dangerous

If you make a slip up you may well get dragged into it

I'll be fine if I come straight back

I have to warn Nobunaga about the Honno temple incident

Ah, I understand

But...

then history will be altered

You're right

I'm just popping out

Take care

Mayuko!

Ah, sorry I'm late

She's Mayuko Kuramoto

My former classmates

Hello

Hello, I'm pleased to meet you

Try this

Aburimochi― It appeared in the Heian era

The Heian era...

Hey, your tag's still attached

Eh?

You're careless? Why? You're like that?

Mayuko, look

Isn't the view of the river lovely?

Yes, really lovely

A garden party here would be delightful

We discussed the wedding party and she suggested here

Oh, I see

Western and Japanese attire would both be suitable

Which is better?

A dress suits you much better

A dress then...

I like it as well― Let's do it here

Shouldn't you look at other places?

Won't that just cloud the issue?

But all girls are different and this only happens once a lifetime

Maybe he's right though

See―It's easier to let others decide

Yeah

Ah, it's nice being a newlywed

It seems you're good at cooking and stuff

- No, not so much - Really?

I think I'll do cookery classes

- That's nice - Don't bother

I can do the cooking. You like omurice, right?

I'll make it for you

His omurice is damn good

- Shogayaki - Yeah, shogayaki!

My lord

With all due respect, I entrusted the girl to these people

Therefore the responsibility's all mine

That's enough, retire

Didn't you hear?

Leave immediately

Ranmaru

You were the first to find the girl

Welcome back

After completing kindergarten, you go to primary school

When you leave primary school, junior high

And then high school, college

After that, a job

Subsequently―

You get married?

I thought that's what life was about

The company I worked for went under and I couldn't find a new job

I thought that I didn't have much choice

Sorry, I didn't mean to escape!

Follow me

Thank you

Otherwise you'll be too conspicuous

This is the capital

The sengoku period

It's almost over

The era of peace I've longed to bring about is approaching

That's...

what you've been striving for?

Yes

I suppose these people would be shocked if they knew who you were

In a drama you would be the lead role

I'd be an extra

Normally, I wouldn't be able to speak to you like this

You're an extraordinary person

You're trying to accomplish what would be beyond average people

Well? You like it?

Yes, it's just the same

I see

The same

Who decided?

Eh?

Who decided it can't be done?

Who decided it's quite impossible?

A great task such as unifying the country―

Not just anyone could do that

It's not that they couldn't― It's just nobody tried

Nobody tried?

What do you want to do?

I don't have a big dream like you have

Does it matter whether it's big or small?

Big and small don't come into it

Whether you want it or not― Whether to do it or not―

That's what matters

However, my retainers...

didn't appear to be happy

Um...

What?

Tonight you'll be staying at Honno temple, won't you?

In three days we'll head out west

...then history will be altered

Let's go

I'm coming

My lord

Where exactly... what's that?

I had Lord Nobunaga show me around town

He really did that?

Here

Er... what's this exactly?

It seems to be popular with the children in town

A game called "Buriburi-Gicho"

Buriburi?

Gicho?

Thank you for your purchase

Thanks

Mayuko's an obedient one―

She's docile and reserved

Different from you know who

Hey!

How about you listen more to her point of view?

Huh?

There are numerous other party venues

She said she didn't have any particular preference

I don't believe that

What do you mean?

I'm sure that Mayuko has something she wants to do

(―> Mayuko Kuramoto) The phone you have dialed...

is either switched off or in an area without reception

Lord Otsuka

I'll do it

The master!

Mr Nobunaga

You'll have a go?

That's impolite

Stay back― I doubt he'll play this vulgar game

Come, let's go

Okay, I'll explain how it works

- This device... - I know

Give it

This one

You hit it! Dead centre!

Well done, my lord!

To victory!

I played often as a child

You never lose it

Master, once more

I won't accept defeat

Halt

Our destination is not in the west

The enemy's at Honno temple!

You've something to tell me?

Yes...

I'm not sure...

if I should spill the beans about something like this...

But apart from that,

it's hard to say whether I can get you to believe me

The truth is... I haven't come from Edo

Actually...

You're from the future

You've come here from a future world

Haven't you?

Maybe not

What?

No, you're right―It's as you say

I've jumped over from a world that's 400 years in the future!

It's a strange thing

The elevator in the hotel I'm staying at...

seems to be connected to this world

Do you see?

Probably not

Was that all you wanted to say?

No, no, that's not all

If you believe me it makes it easy

Well

...then history will be altered

Please leave Honno temple immediately

Leave Honno temple?

Why?

Because...

tonight,

there will be a rebellion

Rebellion?

Yes

Nonsense― My lord virtually rules the country

There's no one who'd defy him

But there is

There's a limit to what even you can get away with saying...

Who is it?

Who leads the rebellion?

Say his name

Mitsuhide Akechi

You're having us on. How do you know this?

I've told you already

I came from the future

In 400 years hence―

What occurs tonight is called the "Honno temple incident"

It's no exaggeration to say it's the most famous event in history

I've no idea what you're talking about

What do you hope to achieve with this fiction...

And?

What is the result of Mitsuhide's rebellion?

You

Nobunaga Oda

And Ranmaru Mori

With Honno temple in flames

Both kill yourselves

And depart this world

It's nonsense!

My lord is about to unite the country

The dream of so many years is at last going to be realised

Suicide?

Scoundrel, you've gone too far!

I know you don't want to believe it

But it's the truth

So―

Please flee this place immediately

Mitsuhide's rebellion

Understood

My lord, please wait

I've...

gone and changed history

Welcome

Kyoichi

Going in Kimono?

Sorry, I'll just go and change

Welcome to the Honnoji hotel

Hello there

Good evening

Kyoichi?

He's gone to the hall

Ah... I see

There's nothing

That I want to do

Not one thing

There isn't really anything at which I excel most other people

There's genuinely nothing I want to do

Nothing I'm enthusiastic about

But

It's like―

It's bad, isn't it?

Being this way

You'll discover something, I'm sure

Perhaps―

Tomorrow even―You'll happen upon something you want to do

It's too early...

to give up

Now, the golden wedding anniversary of Seijiro and Sumie Yoshioka will...

Kyoichi, that photo...

Yeah

It's my mother

She died of cancer last year

At the time, the anniversary was already being mentioned

Mother was really psyched up about it

So father and I decided to go ahead with the party

Thank you―

For making time today...

and gathering in such numbers

I'm sure that Sumie is delighted too

My wife Sumie...

gave me constant support down the years

In the beginning, we started a small eatery together

But without us noticing, it grew bigger and bigger

And now... it has turned into a fancy Japanese-style restaurant...

by the name of "Ryotei Yoshioka"

That we could come so far...

is down to Sumie

Sumie

Thanks a lot

Today

I have some news for Sumie and all of you

At the end of the month,

I'll take the liberty of closing Ryotei Yoshioka

A little before Sumie died...

she said something to me

"From now on,"

"just do what you want to do in life."

Upon hearing that,

I began to wonder

Since becoming a chef, what were my happiest and most enjoyable times?

Then it came to me―

When I fed penniless students...

with cheap, delicious meals that fill the stomach,

those students gladly did their best with more enthusiasm than ever―

It was upon seeing that

With that in mind

I've decided I want to open an eatery once again

It may be thought...

that it wouldn't work out at my age

However

I think it's not too late

I believe I can do it

- The young master's here! - Young master!

Status is irrelevant

How exactly are the people here different from me?

They're just the same

What name do you go by?

I'm Tokichiro

Follow me

Why a peasant's son like me?

I want to build the kind of world where everyone can wear a gentle smile

Come

It's our victory

My lord

It's Ranmaru

Enter

Wait a moment

That story of a little while ago―

Does my lord believe that Miss Kuramoto actually jumped through time?

Until just recently,

I didn't realise the world is round

And that across the ocean dwell people...

with skin and hair of a different colour

And I wasn't aware of various things...

they'd invented

Given that

Maybe I just don't know of the presence...

of people from the future

Don't you think?

That may be so

Therefore, the world is going to change

And eventually a future we can't even imagine...

will visit this land

Then what do you intend to do?

About what?

About the rebellion

Nothing much

I will neither run nor hide

I accept my fate and ―without fearing death―

will try to uphold the samurai spirit to the end

It's truly honourable

Ranmaru, be at ease

Even if there wasn't a rebellion,

what would happen if I were to die now?

I dare say...

Lord Shibata would become guardian of your son and heir Nobutada

However

It doesn't seem likely that Lords Niwa and Takigawa would meekly abide by it

Elevating Nobutada may lead to a dispute over the succession

No

Before any of that, it is likely that...

Lord Tokugawa would overthrow the Oda clan

What's this?

Read it and see

Nobunaga has died in battle

I'll take it to Lord Shibata right away

No, not him

Monkey

It's for Hideyoshi

You've been thinking of this ever since you heard that story?

He's worthy to suppress the uprising―

But why get Lord Hashiba to unify the country?

Didn't you intend to unify the country yourself?

It doesn't matter who does it

My hope is that peaceful times will come to this land

Listen, Ranmaru―

I will die to preserve the honour of the samurai

If you understand, take the note at once

Yes! Understood!

At least discuss it with me

With you?

Why?

Typical

Welcome back

Where's the bar?

- The seventh floor - Thanks

- It's the seventh floor - Ah

Why...

is it called "Honnoji hotel"?

You asked me that same thing previously

Did I really?

Yes

You said it's a name that doesn't augur well for a hotel

Why doesn't it augur well?

It's where the Honno temple incident happened

An incident took place at Honno temple?

Mitsuhide Akechi's rebellion failed, didn't it?

No

On the dawn of 2nd June, 1582

Nobunaga Oda killed himself and Honno temple burnt down

History...

didn't change?

Proceed! Destroy Nobunaga!

Excuse me, my lord

Akechi, governor of Hyuga―An uprising

In the end, father always does just what he pleases

We kept letting him have his own way

But

Isn't he kind of cool?

Yeah

- Listen - I have to go

I'm sorry. Excuse me for a moment

What is it?

Sorry―Something's bothering me

Bothering you?

I'll be back soon. Then I'll explain

Sorry

A good girl

An honest kid, that one

A car will be here presently― Please go ahead

- What is it? - Lead me

Please take me to where Nobunaga and Ranmaru are

Movieland's closed now...

Not there, I want to go to Honno temple

Ah, for Honno temple, leave the hotel...

No! The Honno temple of 1582!

Please tell me how you jump through time

I'm sorry

I'm not sure what you mean

Now I see

The konpeito

Konpeito?

Yes, it's the konpeito!

I'm on my way

Huh?

Why?

It's Kyoto wireless

Hello

- Take care - We're off

Seek out Nobunaga

I'll smoke him out and chop off his head!

Don't attack any patrons―Let them go

Wait

My lord

What is it?

This guy was trying to make off with the Narashiba tea caddy

What shall I do?

This wasn't something I cared about

You want it, take it

My lord, please leave

Pardon me!

Where's Nobunaga?

You again!

My lord, it's Ranmaru

Mr Nobunaga

Why are you here?

I want to ask something

What?

Why...

Why didn't you escape?

- Didn't you believe what I told you? - It's not that

Then...

why not escape?

Ranmaru, what's the situation?

The enemy is on its way

They may break in here any time

Leave

You're a guest―You won't be killed

Even so, be careful

And you?

I'll be with my lord

But

I forgot to mention

My lord...

is cruel and demonic―

And I'd follow him anywhere

He's my one and only lord

Hurry and leave

Wait

I...

almost forgot something important

I presume this picture depicts the future world you came from

Yes

It's called a photo

A photo...

It's...

a nice photo

I appreciate it

It's time for you to go

Now what?

It can't be

When do I return?

What do I do?

What happened?

Stomach Medicine

If he knew...

What's that?

If Nobunaga Oda had somehow found out in advance...

about Mitsuhide Akechi's rebellion at Honno temple―What would he have done?

He would instantly have left Honno temple...

to avoid danger

You'd think so

Normally that's what he'd do

Yes

But

If he didn't escape?

If he waited...

and deliberately accepted defeat by Akechi

Why would that be?

I've no idea

Nor me

However

One thing I can say―

Given it's Nobunaga Oda―

He would surely be trying to attain something more valuable than his life

Something more valuable than his life...

Yes

I wish you a good night

I'm sorry

I'd thought...

since you're insecure and unreliable

And can't do anything alone―

I'd have to take charge

From now on, I was going to protect you and make you happy

So you don't have to suffer or cry anymore

Or whatever

I'd no idea father wants to close the restaurant

Earlier―

After I saw you make out of here― I was thinking

Perhaps...

I know nothing about you either

Well

Maybe I wasn't trying to see the real you

Let's drop the talk of marriage

Besides, to tell the truth

When you lost your job

Right away I thought it was my chance

I took advantage of your weakness

I proposed with that unfair attitude

- So... - It wasn't unfair

I'm at fault

I was dependent on you

I'm really sorry

And where did you go?

- Well... - No―

It's fine

I'm sure there's someone else

Eh? No...

No doubt, he's...

a great guy

Yeah

He's a really great guy

Good morning

Good morning

Your companion has settled the bill

I'm greatly obliged to you

Please take this

Well then

Was your stay at this hotel to your satisfaction?

Yes, I'll never forget it

Ah, hello

It's Mayuko Kuramoto― Registering as a social science teacher

Yes. I said that anything's okay

But in the end I'd prefer history

I'm free to go anywhere― So please help me find something
