I just watched the last episode of Kirin ga Kuru. The build up to the Honnoji Incident had my emotions welling up. No matter how many deep breaths I took, I still end up crying my eyes out. No matter how many dramatized versions I see of Nobunaga taking his own life, I end up a sobbing mess. Yes, Nobunaga was an asshole and a horrible human being, but it still hurts. Nobunaga was a damn genious for his time just like Kenshin and Shingen, and so many others who revolutionized this era. Not to mention, I would love to know the truth of what really happened, and what exactly led to this outcome.
When I first saw Sometani Shouta as Nobunaga, I honestly thought this was not a good choice. I remember thinking when episode 8 came out, I was like, “He’s so baby faced.” I stand corrected. Sometani-san literally made Nobunaga’s role his. The whole Honnoji scene had me holding my breath, screaming for him, and amazed by the bit of action we got. Sometani-san freaking delivered in this last episode as Nobunaga. I had to applaud. He didn’t just give us a stoic Nobunaga, but he gave us a Nobunaga full of emotions. I grew to love his interpretation including those angry outburts of rage Nobunaga was known for. A Nobunaga who not only laughed, but cried. A Nobunaga who was stoic, but fearful. A Nobunaga who was cold, but endearing. And so much more.
I wish we could have gotten more out of this incident, but it is a 45 minute episode. For what we were given, and with Sometani-san’s final performance as Nobunaga, I am happy.

This year’s NHK Taiga drama is the much-hyped Akechi Mitsuhide feature called「麒麟がくる」Kirin ga Kuru (The Kirin Comes)
Notable Cast: 
Hasegawa Hiroki as Akechi Mitsuhide.
Kimura Fumino as Hiroko (Mitsuhide’s wife)
Sometani Shouta as Oda Nobunaga
Kawaguchi Haruna as Kichou (Nouhime)
Motoki Masahiro as Saitou Dousan
Sasaki Kuranosuke as Toukichirou (Hideyoshi)
Kazama Shunsuke as Tokugawa Ieyasu
(official Twitter)
In Chinese belief, Kirin/Qilin is a mythical beast that heralds “divine will”. Its appearance is accompanied with auspicious signs such as miraculous events, or simply days where nothing seems to go wrong. The word Qilin in ancient China is also used as a metaphor for an outstanding individual. Legends say that a qilin had appeared to Confucius, and it’s then believed that it appears with the arrival a holy man or illustrious ruler.
The「Kirin ga Kuru」title refers to that last part of the legend, where the Qilin’s appearance heralds the coming of a great individual. Does the “great individual” it refer to Mitsuhide himself, or is Mitsuhide the “Kirin”? We will see. As it were, Nobunaga’s 花押 kaou signature is in fact the kanji rin from Kirin.

Pre-release rumours mentions that it will take cues from the material written by amateur historian Akechi Kanzaburou, who is Mitsuhide’s descendant. His works have been rising in popularity in the recent years, and perhaps it’s what inspired NHK to create a Mitsuhide-centric work. Among efforts to argue that Mitsuhide is not a vicious or power-hungry traitor, Kenzaburou also is a proponent of the theory that Nobunaga had ordered Mitsuhide to assassinate Ieyasu. Defying that order, Mitsuhide turned against his lord instead, in the Honnouji incident. It will be interesting how much of Kenzaburou’s theories makes it into the drama.
