Nobunaga the Fool - 01 & 02

Now with this series we have another parody on the history of Oda Nobunaga. What is interesting is how they are bring in western historical like Leonard da Vinci, Jeulius Caesar, John of Ark. That it is kind of cool how they are bring in sci-fi elements as well making the warriors suits of armors into mechs, while having the sociological split between east and west being isolate to separate planets. Which you have to travel between through the use of a space ship.

The first episode revolves around introduction of the key characters, but it mainly focus in on the driving force that motivate Leonardo da Vinci and Jeanne D'arc to travel to the east. Another interesting fact is that each episode is going to be defined by the Taro card that Leonardo has Jeanne choose and in this episode she pulls the star. Which signifies their travel to the eastern star. While the events define where in Nobunaga's history does our story begins. That he is out hunting to avoid going to his brothers coming of age ceremony, but in doing do he see an assault plan by Takada that was intended to test Owari's defense. While at around the same time Leonardo plans to make their descent down to the planet.

This is where the second half of the being pick up after the battle has end Nobunaga comes across where Leonardo has land with his prized armor. This is when Nobunaga gets inside it out of curiosity, which ironically he is given an opportunity to test it with the approach of the two armors that the west sent out to retrieve it. That with his victory it lead to Leonardo and Jeanne becoming his underlings. Which isn't as much of a problem with Leonardo but with Jeanne it is an issue because of someone called Ichihime. Where it is likely from Mitsuhide's reaction the she is like his fiance, that once the return to the castle Leonardo has Jeanne choose another card and this time it is the lovers card. Does this mean that Ichihime is Nobunaga's lover even though she is his sister or does it implies that Jeanne herself with become Nobunaga's. Anyways what will be interesting to see is if their lives will come to an end the same way it does in history or does Jeanne coming her change both Nobunaga fate as well as her own.
