Seriously, Mitsuhide is such a badass in Kanetsugu’ route and then he is even more awesome in Kicho’s route, oh my God! This man… even when it’s not him, it’s him!
Ikemen Sengoku players… do you feel the same?

A fanart for Mitsuhide, requested by @sh0jun
I'm now too lazy to finish this so I hope you can still enjoy this (pretty messy) sketch.
I realize how gorgeous Mitsuhide is and how freaking hard it is to draw his hair. Gosh, Yamada Shiro sensei is such a genius.

nobunaga/hideyoshi and hideyoshi/mitsuhide are two obvious ships in ikesen that are both, lol, given a fair amount of tease in the routes, but personally i think a relatively unexplored gold mine is the nobunaga/mitsuhide dynamic. it sticks out to me with mitsuhide's route; first in the scene when mitsuhide is announcing his "engagement" with the mc in front of nobunaga and hideyoshi. afterward nobunaga says he would like to have a word with the mc alone, mitsuhide basically asks if he could stay too, nobunaga reiterates that he's dismissed, and mitsuhide complies without hesitation. (mc's and my reaction was the same here, btw: "...mitsuhide backed down immediately. interesting.") bc i mean yeah, how many people would mitsuhide easily back down against? he also refers to nobunaga as "lord nobunaga" or "my lord" even in his internal thoughts, and while on one hand it's obvious since, yeah, he's nobunaga's vassal, there's clearly a lot of wholehearted respect for nobunaga on mitsuhide's end. like mitsuhide's always taking the piss out of people, but nobunaga's probably one of the few who would be completely unfazed by him, and that's a fun dynamic. it's completely unlike mitsuhide's relationship with all the other warlords and even the mc.
the other thing that interests me is a bit more subtle, but mitsuhide's route delves into how it's affected his mentality to be involved in all this shady and morally questionable stuff, even if it's for the big picture ultimately. the thing is: that big picture is nobunaga's ambition. in other words, it's nobunaga's ambition - a world without classism, a desire mitsuhide shares - for which mitsuhide subjects himself to all That, and he states that he does it without regret despite what it's cost him. i think mitsuhide, like hideyoshi, is deeply, deeply loyal to nobunaga; while it's not that he overly invests his self-worth and identity into serving nobunaga like hideyoshi, he out of all the warlords is by far one of the ones with the most personal stakes in nobunaga's ambition. he has absolute faith in nobunaga and serves him with everything he has. he believes that nobunaga can truly, with the support of the other warlords, bring about the kind of world they both want. and that sort of unbridled trust, that sort of loyalty... it's just fascinating for me to consider that mitsuhide feels that way towards someone.

Okay, y’all. Serious question about Mitsuhide pertaining to one of his side stories, specifically “Romantic and Dramatic Full Love Bonus: Thank you for the Meal”. You get this from the Romantic Route.
(This post does go into darker themes, such as the idea of cannibalism.)
There’s one thing that really stands out to me here, and yes, I’m aware that this is a sensitive topic but I feel like we should talk about it, because I don’t remember it ever being addressed.
Tumblr media
So here, he admits that he’s lost his sense of taste—it’s not that he was born without it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is where I’m getting suspicious. What sort of things would he eat that no one should have to? What was so incredibly traumatic that he lost his sense of taste and doesn’t want it back?
I know that this might be a bit of a stretch, but my first thought was cannibalism. He says flat out that he was starving, and ate whatever he could. When starving, we do things we’d like to think we never could.
I don’t think Mitsuhide would’ve killed someone for that, though. I think it was that he came across a corpse, and decided it was better to eat the dead than to starve.
Like I said, I know it’s a stretch, but I’m curious if anyone else ever had this thought. If not, what do you all theorise that he ate?

Ikesen thoughts again you know how people say that mitsuhide( and also Hideyoshi’s) route are like Mitsuhide x mc x Hideyoshi I feel like people don’t give enough attention to a similar dynamic with yukimura x mc x Sasuke in Sasukes route. They are hilarious and so wholesome and adorable
Dont mind ma fangirling brain taking out mc in the equation
Tumblr media
See what I mean

Yeah thats all.

I like how the character design are so similar to the historical characters they are inspired and based on. [Shogun 2024]
Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko (Hosokawa Gracia, the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, the man who betrayed Oda Nobunaga.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the final trailer, she said, "a great injustice stole everything from me." is probably of what happened after her father kills Oda.
Akechi could no longer tolerate Oda's tyrannical rule and overthrow him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Oda's successor) hunts down Akechi and his entire supporters, army and family, to kill them all.
Takehiro Hira as Ishido Kazunari (Ishida Mitsunari, the loyal retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, that opposes Tokugawa Ieyasu (Hiroyuki Sanada as Lord Yoshii Toranaga), leading to Sekigahara.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Toyotomi Hideyoshi late dies of old age and leaves his son, Hideyori, under the care of Ishida Mitsunari/Ishido Kazunari.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So far it looks pretty good, definitely better than Netflix's Age of Samurai, where the characters look nothing like the historical ones.
Looking forward to watching it!

The infamous "Mitsuhide hitting/kicking incident", as recorded by Luis Frois
This is taken from the Japanese translation of Luis Frois's Historia, which has been criticised for unfortunately containing mistranslated texts in various parts (examples included inserting arbitrary Japanese words when Frois originally recorded no Japanese words, and inserting arbitrary colour descriptors that wasn't in the original).
I don't know if the translation has been revised since, so this account might be somewhat flawed if it was taken from the old version, but for the time being this is what I have.
信長は…その権力と地位をいっそう誇示すべく、三河の国王(徳川家康)と、甲斐国の主将たちのために饗宴を催すことに決め、その盛大な招宴の接待役を彼(光秀)に下命した。これらの催し事の準備について、信長はある密室において明智と語っていたが、元来、逆上しやすく、自らの命令に対して反対(意見)を言われることに堪えられない性質であったので、人々が語るところによれば、彼(信長)の好みに合わぬ要件で、明智が言葉を返すと、信長は立ち上がり、怒りをこめ、一度か二度、明智を足蹴にしたということである。だが、それは秘かになされたことであり、二人だけの間での出来事だったので、後々まで民衆の噂に残ることはなかったが、あるいはこのことから明智は何らかの根拠を作ろうと欲したのかも知れぬし、あるいは[おそらくこの方がより確実だと思われるが]、その過度の利欲と野心が募り、ついにはそれが天下の主になることを彼(光秀)に望ませるまでになったのかもわからない。(ともかく)彼はそれを胸中深く秘めながら、企てた陰謀を果す適当な時機をひたすら窺っていたのである。 Nobunaga… in order to further display his power and position, decided to hold a feast for the king of Mikawa (Tokugawa Ieyasu) and the generals of Kai Province, and the role of the host was tasked to him (Mitsuhide). Nobunaga had a discussion with Akechi in a private room about the preparations for these events, but being someone who was by nature easily offended and could not bear to be spoken against, people say that when Akechi replied to him (Nobunaga) with things not to his liking, Nobunaga stood up and kicked Akechi once or twice in anger. However, this incident was private, where only the two of them bore witness to it, and it didn't become a publicly known rumour until later. Perhaps Akechi wanted to establish justification from this, or [perhaps more reasonably], his excessive greed and ambition rose, such that it finally led him [Mitsuhide] to desire to become the master of the land. (Anyway), he kept this deep in his heart, waiting for the right moment to carry out his plot.
(the quoted passage taken from this article)
Luis Frois pretty clearly did not like Mitsuhide, maybe because Nobunaga's death robbed the Europeans of the security that they had under his reign. In his letters and Historia, Frois repeatedly describes Mitsuhide as cunning, and that all his well-seeming actions were only to cover up his treacherous intentions.
That being said, this is one of the very few actually contemporary accounts of such an incident happening. The story that was frequently seen in dramas and movies, that Mitsuhide got beat up due to accidentally serving rotten food to Ieyasu, was from the Ehon Taikouki that was created in the Edo period. This narrative might have been an exaggerated version from the account in the Kawasumi Taikouki (itself already a rather late date account), where Mitsuhide was dismissed because of the rotten food, but was not beat up.
Because the incident of Mitsuhide being beat up by Nobunaga—or by another vassal under Nobunaga's orders— cannot be found in contemporary and reliable accounts, various researchers have considered that story to be dubious.
If there really was an incident where Mitsuhide was hit, then it might have happened at another occasion and not during Ieyasu's visit to Azuchi.

It's so hooooot now. I can barely function.
I decided to listen to Ikesen drama CD to relax.
I love the trio Nobunaga-Hideyoshi-Mitsuhide 🤣 They are so funny and the drama CD is hilarious.
This fan art is a little different to the script though. (You guys should listen to it. It's so good).
I'd like to consider this as "Honnouji incident" Ikesen version 🤣

“Are you hiding behind me?”
“… I’m sure it must look that way to you.”
(And yes, trusting a snake to protect you from a scorpion IS a bad idea. But right now, I’ll take the suspicious guy I know.)
replaying hideyoshi route and i have the urge to draw this scene with mitsuhide
