Plus the ally merchant doesn't seem to be someone who gets easily disheartened at that loss, and he knew his rival was cheating.

Well considering that almost every retainer and General that Nobuna has got combat experience and specialize in a type of skill, I say she is highly stab proof. Akechi is probably the most balance among the retainers Nobuna have. Katsuie specialize, well I think it is obvious she specialize in combat. Niwa specialize in Strategy. Akechi is the balance between the two since she is in the Mitsuhide clan which is known for the specialize of the arts (poetry and etc) and are Samurai for generations. Assassinating her isn't easy, it would take someone as a Daimyo or General.

Hell they wouldn't even have to fight her- a simple distract and snatch and run into some alley would do...Juubei herself looks like she's on autopilot already...

It looks like she isn't carrying the money at the moment. Nobuna did say get the money to the guy (Forgot his name) who looks like a Cat Fish in the morning. The money is probably in her battle tent or house with guards.

Do mind that despite the boobs, lolis, and the comedy we have an actual WAR going on, with people actually fighting and dying, and all the participants have more than just their ideals and reputations on the line. Whether Juubei realized the whole thing was rigged or not, in her view she succeeded in securing funds for her lord and achieved a total victory, and total victory can justify anything in wartime where the stakes are very real and very high. We can criticize her actions on moral grounds but that's a luxury that only the generations that come after a war have.

As Shinova said, for the war she done the right thing, but morally she done something bad. As well place some doubts on Nobuna who want to achieve peace and prosperity for the United Japan she dreams of. If you were the head of an army and one of your right hand man has a different view of how you want something done, it will cause confusion in the whole army. |

Sure the end justifies the means mentality may be appropriate sometimes but in this case it just make her seem petty, this is furthermore complemented by the fact that technically they would have gotten the money regardless of who won since it was Oda faction in both the red and blue teams. She just wanted to show off and prove her own superiority to everyone, something that she utterly failed to achieve. |

Oh she's learning alright, I just hope that she doesn't back herself into a corner.
She's pushing herself to much "something that quiet a few of the characters tend to do" to achieve and as a result sometimes winds up cutting corners to reach her goals. Its just that that kind of corner cutting conflicts with Nobuna's way of doing things. |

First pre-fabricated structures and then mayo and fried food. Truly Saru is an innovator... by going back in time and stealing other people ideas.
Also, a gender-swapped Oda Nobunaga judging a cooking contest, now I HAVE seen everything. And before you ask, I have seen a man eat his own head! (South Park/Team America reference) That said, I think its about time Sagara learns to use a katana, a naginata, a Tanegashima musket or something... Personally, if I were in Saru's place, that would be the first thing I'd do. Personally I'd go with a Tanegashima with a few custom additions- a bayonet, double barrel, and if possible, rifling. Also, perhaps a pair of custom double barreled versions matchlock pistols. Imagine something like these, but with two barrels and maybe a more "modern"-looking grip. Also, of course, some sort of melee weapon, like a katana. Also, does anyone know how many episodes this series is? I wonder if they'll make it to the Battle of Nagashino, and of that matter, if it will reveal if Nobuna manages to escape the fate of her real-life counterpart?

I had this weird feeling when Sagara told Louise that the future he's from is peaceful with no wars Maybe he's just referring to Japan but still...

As for the cooking... mayonaise? Really? That stuff is disgusting. How about marinara sauce instead?! Watching Eps. 8 -- I cannot help but feel as if I had missed something regarding Mitsuhide. As in, where the hell did her attitude come from?

Mayonnaise is a common condiment for takoyaki. Combined with takoyaki sauce, and flavored with a sprinkling of bonito flakes and dried seaweed, the whole setup is really quite tasty. |
