I just watched Kirin ga Kuru`s version of the Battle of Okehazama and ended up disappointed. For one, Shota Sometani is not for the role of Nobunaga. He has been a total failure. Yoshimoto's character is out of sorts. One must remember he was short and fat. Last is Mitsuhide himself. He makes an appearance when Nobunaga heads home in triumph and asked him what next is the next objective. Nobunaga replies, Mino. Historically, Mitsuhide was never in Owari during the Battle of Okehazama. He was probably still in Echizen. Bad move on NHK's part for Mitsuhide's appearance after the battle. If NHK wanted to to produce a decent Battle of Okehazama episode, they should have watched King of Zipangu few times. It is still one of the best Battle of Okehazama scenes of all time. That being said, I did like the scene where Mori Shinsuke leaps in the air to stab Yoshimoto. Outside of that, the episode was a joke.
