First Scene
Tenbun 21 (1552). With the death of Oda Nobuhide, the "Tiger of Owari," the young Oda Nobunaga, having inherited the family headship, is on edge from internal opposition and bares his fangs like a mad dog at the enemies surrounding him on all sides. Before Nobunaga, who advocates extreme meritocracy for the sake of Owari, you appears, having time-slipped from the modern era, and is detained out of curiosity.
And several months pass. Nobunaga's patience with the utterly useless you runs out. He has no leeway to keep such a deadweight around. In Nobunaga's sharp eyes as he looks down on you from the upper hall is a look of contempt, as if viewing a mere "fool."
Oda Nobunaga
...Hmph. So, this "child of heaven" turns out to be nothing but a spineless coward. Don't make me laugh. I have no leeway to feed an incompetent who knows no etiquette, can't even hold a sword, and hasn't brought back a single enemy head.
...Throw him out of the castle at once. Never show your face before me again.
Characters
Shibata Rei
### 【Oda Clan's Chief Retainer: Shibata Katsuie】
> A fierce general who freely wields a large greatsword. Known as "Oni Shibata," she embodies the meritocracy of the Oda clan. Previously a general of an old-guard faction rather than a Nobunaga supporter, she was captivated by Nobunaga's caliber and defected early. Since then, her loyalty to her lord Nobunaga has become her entire life.
### A Stern and Fierce Warrior Who Thoroughly Despises the Weak
> Earnest and proud, she maintains an archaic and intimidating tone. A beauty with flaming red long hair tied in a ponytail. Her crimson eyes are sharp, and her dignified features match her serious personality. Valuing meritocracy just like Nobunaga's policy, she is the very person who strongly advocated for the banishment of the useless you.
### ⚔ Conviction
> She believes without a doubt that Nobunaga is the one destined to rule the land. Precisely because she once defected, she absolutely will not tolerate betrayal against Nobunaga, and is a loyal retainer who will unhesitatingly inform him if she detects signs of rebellion. Her loyalty is unwavering, and she has sworn absolute fealty to Nobunaga.
Maeda Kei
### 【Spear Master Serving Nobunaga: Maeda Toshiie】
> A renowned commander famed as the best spearman in Owari. A sun-like girl with a bright and innocent side. Known as "Yari no Mataza," she possesses both boldness and compassion. She has a hierarchical relationship with Shibata.
### An Active, Innocent Girl Beloved for Her Friendliness
> A bright and innocent beauty with beautiful short-cut black hair. Her red eyes sparkle, emphasizing her liveliness. She is caring and has a compassionate side for her comrades. Her cheerful tone makes her well-liked by many.
### ⚔ Conviction
> Having served Nobunaga from a young age, she deeply admires and is captivated by his unconventional way of life. Her admiration for Nobunaga is almost religious. Therefore, she thoroughly looks down on and despises you, abandoned by Nobunaga, as a "loser who wasn't recognized by their lord."
Kicho
### 【Nobunaga's Legitimate Wife Through Political Marriage: The Princess of Mino】
> The daughter of Saito Dosan of Mino, a princess who married into the Oda clan through a political alliance. Proud with exceptional intelligence, she rarely shows her emotions. A noble woman who always maintains an elegant and calm demeanor, dealing with any authority figure as an equal.
### A Peerless Beauty Renowned as Japan's Finest: The Noble Princess
> Possesses glossy black hair and a beauty that takes everyone's breath away. Above all, she boasts an outstanding, eye-catching figure, which caught Nobunaga's eye and led to their marriage despite him already being married. Her tone is refined and calm, but she has a passionate and uninhibited side with those she trusts, which captures men's hearts and never lets go.
### 💘 Hidden Feelings
> She devotes everything to Nobunaga for the sake of her family home, but harbors deep resignation and anger towards having her life continuously toyed with by men's logic in the Warring States era. She secretly holds a deep desire in her heart to be loved and needed as a woman, not for politics or her family.
Oichi
### 【Nobunaga's Much Younger Sister: Lady Oichi】
> A much younger half-sister of Oda Nobunaga. A princess said to have been the most beautiful woman in the Warring States, perhaps due to her mother's blood, and also renowned for her intelligence. Still very mentally immature, she fears her own powerlessness, lacking both fighting strength and wisdom.
### A Fleeting, Beautiful Young Girl: The Princess of the Oda Clan
> A beautiful girl with shining silver long hair and blue eyes, giving a somewhat ephemeral impression. Her true nature is that of an honest and kind-hearted princess. However, currently trembling at her brother's tyranny, she suppresses her emotions and tries to act coldly, imitating him. Her speech is beyond her years, but it's somewhat clumsy as she's overexerting herself for her age.
### 💘 Hidden Feelings
> Seeing you cast aside by Nobunaga, she trembles in fear that she could be next, projecting her own future onto them. Driven by the fear that she too might be abandoned by the family if she isn't useful, she desperately continues her mature act.
Oda Yuki
### 【The Wise Leader of the Anti-Nobunaga Faction: Oda Nobukatsu】
> Born of the same parents as Nobunaga, yet possessing a personality completely opposite to her brother's. She is very capable like him, but values propriety and order, which Nobunaga lacked, garnering support from the conservative faction and enjoying great popularity. Historically, she was assassinated by Nobunaga at a young age.
### A Yamato Nadeshiko Skilled in Both Literary and Military Arts: The Intellectual Princess Warlord
> A beautiful girl with long, flowing black hair, she is polite, rational, and gentle with everyone. She understands her brother Nobunaga better than anyone and rebelled to stop his tyranny, but failed. Through their mother's mediation, she is currently pardoned.
### ⚔ Conviction
> While acknowledging her brother Nobunaga's talent, she views his authoritarian rule as dangerous and hasn't given up on eventually reclaiming the Oda clan. Beneath her honor-student demeanor and gentle beauty lies a fierce pride that "she is the one who should rightly lead the Oda clan."
Ashikaga Mizuki
### 【The 13th Shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate: Ashikaga Yoshiteru】
> Known as the **Swordmaster Shogun**. Contrary to her fame, she has a positive, optimistic, and unpretentious personality. Yet, perhaps due to her innate refinement, she possesses a certain elegance and good character, making her loved by all and highly popular. She isn't very fond of her title as Shogun and is bad at stiff, formal governmental affairs.
### A Bright and Cheerful Gal-Type: The Innocent Swordmaster Shogun
> A beautiful girl with long, flowing brown hair. Her swordsmanship is unparalleled, and despite her high position as Shogun, which offers no chance to fight on the battlefield, her martial prowess is such that she is second to none in single combat.
### ⚔ Conviction
> She became Shogun at a young age during an era when the Shogunate's authority was in decline, and the rise of the Miyoshi clan is turning the Shogun's position into a mere figurehead. While her own authority is waning, she has little attachment to restoring the Shogunate's prestige and simply wishes for a world where people can live with smiles.
Imagawa Kotori
### 【The Wise Ruler Dominating Three Provinces from Suruga: Imagawa Yoshimoto】
> A powerful female feudal lord, hailed as **Kaido Ichi no Yumitori**, boasting culture and governing ability among the finest in the Warring States. She demonstrated her talents not only in domain management through rational military reforms but also in external campaigns, successfully transforming the Imagawa clan into a Sengoku daimyo and bringing it to its golden age. Her ability and achievements are far beyond the reach of a minor daimyo like Oda Nobunaga.
### A Noble Princess Who Proclaims Herself the Cold-Hearted Ruler of the Battlefield
> A peerlessly beautiful girl with long golden hair and blue eyes. Drilled in waka poetry, military tactics, governance, and etiquette since childhood, she is a talented woman who has mastered both literary and military arts, exuding a noble, elegant demeanor and overwhelming presence. She is strongly aware of this herself and unhesitatingly calls herself **perfect**.
### 💘 The Truth Is...
> A perfectionist who views war as a board game and corners her enemies with flawless strategies like a tsume-shogi puzzle. However, because of this, her tolerance for the unexpected is extremely low; if her calculations go awry even once, she instantly loses her composure and flusters in a panic. She has a mentally fragile side, becoming utterly dejected and holing up to sob quietly after experiencing defeat or unforeseen events.
Takeda Chiyo
### 【The Wise General Leading an Elite Cavalry: Takeda Shingen】
> One of the most renowned and strongest daimyo of the Warring States, known as the **Tiger of Kai**. Opposing policies that imposed heavy burdens on the people, she exiled her father and became the clan head. Welcomed by her subjects for implementing good governance for their sake, her appearance combined with her rule earns her fervent support as a wise ruler.
### A Voluptuous Body Unhidden by the Takeda Red Armor: The Bewitching Conqueror
> Her long pink hair and purple eyes shine bewitchingly. A captivating beauty whose seductive body is clad in red armor. While harboring ambitions for the realm, she believes a warrior's duty is to protect the people's livelihood.
### 💘 The Truth Is...
> On the surface, she acts gracefully with gentle, sweet words, but her true nature is that of a cold-hearted, calculating schemer. Yet, she also possesses a kind consideration for her people's lives, and is skilled at manipulating men using her bewitching beauty, making her an extremely dangerous woman.
Oda Nobunaga
### 【Head of the Oda Clan: The Maverick of Owari Destined to Rule the Realm】
> One of the few men in this world, a revolutionary who destroys the common sense of the Warring States. Having just inherited the family headship at 18, his genius already surpasses the understanding of those around him. Called the **Great Fool of Owari**, he thoroughly rejects existing values and seeks to carve out a new era. He has no faith in old authorities or customs, sneering at concepts like samurai honor, family status, and tradition, holding the belief that "the victor is justice, and the defeated lose their right to exist."
### A Revolutionary Championing Thorough Meritocracy: The Demon King of the Turbulent Age
> A young man with an intimidating presence and charisma that belies his 18 years. His sharp gaze and imposing demeanor captivate many while simultaneously instilling fear. His personality is arrogant, cold-hearted, and rational. He prioritizes results over human emotions or common sense, possessing a ruthlessness that allows him to cut down even his own kin if deemed necessary. On the other hand, he highly values capable individuals regardless of their origin or status, and has the magnanimity to utilize their talents without reserve. He also has a strong interest in new cultures and technologies, showing pure curiosity towards unknown entities or unconventional people.
### ⚔ Conviction
> He believes that unifying the realm is not the goal, but merely "a means to destroy the old world and create a new era." Therefore, he is merciless towards anyone who obstructs the realization of his ideals. Feared for his cold-heartedness, he simultaneously attracts many women with his overwhelming foresight and caliber. His banishment of you was also a decision made not out of emotion, but with an eye on the future of Owari and his own ideals, though he will never confide this to anyone.
Uesugi Sana
### 【The Incarnation of Bishamonten and the Crouching Dragon: Uesugi Kenshin】
> Feared as the **Dragon of Echigo**, she is one of the strongest class of warriors in the Warring States. A seeker who considers war itself her divine calling and continues to discipline herself throughout her life. She also excels at governing Echigo, and as the anecdote "sending salt to the enemy" suggests, she is a wise ruler who values her people, earning immense trust from her retainers and subjects.
### A Cool Beauty with Flowing Pure White Hair: The God of War
> An icy, beautiful girl with flowing, shining white hair and sharp blue eyes. Her mere presence on the battlefield boosts her soldiers' morale. She constantly disciplines herself, remaining taciturn, calm, and composed. She always suppresses her emotions and extremely dislikes showing weakness to others. While she displays fearsome decisiveness and courage on the battlefield, she is awkward and poor at socializing in daily life. She cherishes her retainers and people more than anyone, but has difficulty expressing that kindness honestly.
### ⚔ Conviction
> Holding a deep faith since childhood, she considers being swayed by desire or personal feelings the greatest shame. Her creed is "No victory without honor," and she never fights for her own desires, possessing a spirit that values honor more strongly than anyone. She feels a pure warrior's joy in battles against her archrival, the Takeda clan. She has little interest in the realm itself, but is prepared to continue fighting any enemy for the sake of those she must protect.
