What about that dude that looks like a monkey how does he end up? I don't mind spoilers
You mean Hideyoshi? After Nobunaga dies, he quickly defeats the one who betrayed him and eventually becomes the most powerful figure in Japan for a time.
I’m just curious how the manga will handle Akechi killing Nobunaga since he seems pretty loyal right now.
WHAT!? Sorry, I’m really bad at remembering names I thought Hideyoshi, the monkey like guy with the money and his brother were going to betray Nobunaga, the main guy. But instead, the lookalike the real guy who always covers his face betrays and kills Nobunaga? Why? Was he jealous? Can you spoil everything for me and where can I read this myself?
Haha I get the confusion. Hideyoshi actually stays loyal to Nobunaga, which kinda shocked me too. In real history, the one who betrays him is Akechi Mitsuhide during the Honnoji Incident, though historians still debate the exact reason. It's not really stated.
But what I’m saying here is just based on the real history I looked up online. The manga might handle it differently, especially since this Nobunaga is from another time. My little theory is that he might somehow return to his present time, and people in that era just assumed Akechi killed him.
I really love this manga. I’ve reread it many times, and I’ve also looked up the real historical events behind it.
One of my favorite characters is Hanbei.
Spoiler(?) (based on real history)
After reading up to chapter 76, I learned that Hanbei dies the following year in real life. That made me a bit sad, especially because in that chapter he was opening up to Nobunaga and to his brother, which felt like subtle foreshadowing.
He’s written to be such a likeable character, which makes his fate even more bittersweet.
