| Summary | Oda Nobunaga, known as the "Fool General," is a baffling figure whose wild antics and ruthless independence leave even his loyal retainers questioning his sanity. Yet, beneath the bizarre exterior lies a profound, empirical mind, and a chilling philosophy: "Death is certain." When a desperate imperial decree arrives, seeking aid for a decaying court, and a cunning old villain, Saitō Dōsan, recognizes his terrifying genius, Nobunaga’s true ambition ignites. He will unify a fractured Japan, no matter the cost. Battling formidable warlords and forging an unsettling alliance with the treacherous "Old Viper" Matsunaga Danjō, Nobunaga's path is paved with unconventional tactics and cold-blooded ruthlessness. But what drives this enigmatic demon, and what will become of his unfathomable quest for absolute dominion? |
