Sagara is easily one of the better MC's of the year

Hagure and Campione's easily got him beat, I'd also give the nudge to SAO's as well. Sagara is all talk but no walk. He can talk big and even have backbone, but he just always seems to fail. Its like he can't do anything on his own.


Since Sagara is kind of taking the place of a Sengoku Era general, he doesn't need to really do anything himself. As long as he's able to convince people to do what he wants them to do, he has everything he needs.

Whereas the rest of the people you mentioned are intended to be heroes, so they have to be able to fight on their own.

It was a really good episode, I liked how they took over the castle, Katsuie she was kicking some ass, either way it was a really good episode and god damn I love the music in this show as expected from the god Yasuharu Takanashi.

Aww the end was so sweet with the lights forming a serpent. Oda dedicated the castle and town to the Viper. They should have at least locked up the enemy if they weren't gonna kill him. We'll be introduce to some new and busty female characters...can't wait XD

I won't go as far as saying he's the best MC of this season let alone this year, but still, he was doing well in this episode. You're right about that he can only talk, but his way of talking benefits his companions too. He also needs support from his people, of course, no warlord can conquer anything on his own. Sure, he's too aggressive, irrational, naive, and these things are unlikely to be changed for better anytime soon, but this time he was doing it right IMO. He proved his knowledge to be useful.

also did anyone else notice how yoshiharu was all beaten up after he hugged goemon? xD

this anime is pretty good, i look forward to the next episode

I feel like this is getting more and more predictable. I've really yet to see any actual drama in this, just "people are sad but later they're happy", is the basis of drama this show's established so far. Not that I really mind it, it's just getting a little cheesy.

Looks like new characters are about to pop in. The cute nun from the OP is FINALLY here.

'realistically' she's probably bruised as hell, and lucky at that - mail rarely stopped a bullet unless it was spent or mis-loaded. However, I don't know what the writer's intention was here as we've got some mix of supernatural elements, so I don't know if it was that or maybe it was just an assumption about what mail could do.


Gun at that time weren't as strong as they are nowadays.
If in our time blocking a bullet with a chainmail is something almost impossible, in their time it wasn't. Don't get me wrong though; I'm not saying that chainmail could easely block a bullet then, it obviously took some luck but that luck was still in the realm of what you would call realistic... convenient maybe, but possible.

Well, no, I realize guns of that time period weren't capable of firing as powerfully as modern guns, but it was the widespread use of guns that made armor obsolete - even in the 16 hundreds in Europe where hardened steel plate was being developed specifically to stop bullets it was quickly found that the weight was becoming prohibitive. But, I didn't say mail stopping it wasn't possible - just lucky :)

Meh, Hagure's MC is some sort of a know-it-all or super-strong-even-the-enemies-are-afraid-of-him type of character. Some may think that's awesome but I don't really think he's interesting. I bet there'll hardly be any character development for him and the story will be more on the perspective of the girls. Sagara is a better MC, in my opinion. As for Campione, hmmm... I don't really hate that type of guy, but he's not that much better than Sagara. I can only agree if it's about Kirito.

You must like fighting-type hero protagonists who battle themselves (Goku from Dragonball) rather than the thinking-type leader protagonists (Lelouch from Code Geass).

I can admit I do prefer the fighting types, and this being a anime about battle makes sense why I'd like him to be able to fight. But even as the thinker types, I can appreciate those as well. But thinkers like Lelouch from Code Geass go into the situation calm and cool, and even when faced with adversity, familiarize the situation. Like someone mentioned eariler, Sagara can be very irrational, brash and lacking composure when emotional.

And most of the time, that gets his ass in trouble where he has to be saved. Oda herself has to even get in his ass about this kind of stuff and how him not staying in his place can get him killed. That's pretty much why I don't consider him as good as the others. Without even looking at the fighting part, the other MCs are just really good at keeping composure under pressure, and I like that in a MC. Especially the current anime age where Guys are usually shown as inferior to women unless its a shounen.

I'm really starting to enjoy this series a lot more. In the beginning it looked like another total fan service job with an interesting premise, but now the characters are just becoming more and more likable. Fan service is also kept to a minimum, which is good.

And as someone who's dipped into the LN, I have to say I like the anime Nobuna better. Not sure if it's because the plot hasn't gotten to that point yet, but the LN Nobuna is just a total tsundere...

The only problem I have with serie is that every female character got a damn thick plot armor.
I don't want to see a character die for the sake of dying but a show developing when you know that no important female character can die turn most pinch into something ridiculous. It's war time for god sake it would be normal for character to die.

This may be about battles but for armies and not martial arts. I wouldn't want him to be able to take down 20 men on his own or an army with just a party, he's better off as a commander than a warrior who suddenly gets some special training from some special master and beats all the strong guys in the sengoku era. Also, Lelouch also couldn't stay calm and composed whenever Suzaku ruins his plans or Nunally is in trouble. That's just how a character should act - with emotion and should have ups and downs. Committing mistakes, getting saved, getting encouraged or discouraged, losing someone, etc. can all be a plus if it gives out a lot of character developments in the story. But that's the type of MC you like, so it's not like I'm saying you should like such. But I'm just saying Sagara isn't really a bad MC. Besides, recklessness is a better attribute to have as a main character rather than cowardice or trouble-avoiding.

Also, most animes where women are stronger than men are shounen.

I really did not have time to comment much on this series sadly. I do have to say so far the dram, emotions and action along with visual are stunning. In fact the drama so far is so good that it did tear me up a little here and there.

As of this episode I kind of knew Goemon would live and had protection. Read it somewhere that ninjas took the most precautions against riflemen.

Niwa had the nasty face of death against that guy.

I also knew the other 2 wold defect.

I do hope Yoshitatsu ain't going to be stupid of doing something but from the looks of it he might. I hoped more Sagara would convince him with his future but they never played that card out.

About the preview, BIG BREASTED BOUNCING NUN coming at ya along with eye patch girl whom is enticing TBH. Also more fan service detection just that when is bath time?
Also that girl in the green pendant is going to be perverted if they make it right as the LN did.

That's all.

That doesn't even make sense. Being realistic isn't just being irrational. People can and do remain calm better than others.

Like if I know I'm back in time and Oda tells me to do something, her being my superior, I'm not gonna do something else then wind up having to get my ass saved. Or outspeak in a meeting when its clearly out of my place and almost causing a war thats preventable by keeping my damn mouth shut. That's what I mean when I say ALL TALK and no WALK. Not necessarily him having to fight, but as a GENERAL, he's failed just about every time even with his plans. Yea the character development comes in, but its refreshing for me with the other MCs that they are at a faster pace. And not just with fighting, but with character interaction as well.


And I'm not saying MC here is bad, he's not bad at all. My point was just that I think there are multiple MCs this season that are BETTER, not saying he's BAD. I just prefer the LAID BACK type who would be in trouble, but doesn't really panic, or at least show it.

The only time he actually failed was when he went to rescue Dosan. He's actually pulled off all of his other plans. And he's not really irrational, he just knows that if he doesn't change history a good deal, then Nobuna will end up dead at Honnoji just like in actual history. And honestly, the only two MCs this season that I would consider better are Akatsuki in Hagure Yuusha and Ryouske in Dakara Boku wa.

This was a nice episode and these battle scenes are awesome to watch, not to mention I just love watching Nobuna command her troops as she stand in her determined pose. Her couple of cute scenes every episode is great too tbh.

I am guessing Saru got beat up for hugging Goemon like that lol. And ahhh she was just so cuteeee when she was getting hugged.

Yet another amazing episode! :D
I don't think there's been a sub-par one yet.
The budget is nicely spread, enough action each episode, and not nearly as much comedy as one might think at first sight. At first, I was second-guessing the lineup for this season, but everything is really turning out to be a treat. ESPECIALLY the new Nobunas! Can't wait till the next episode! ;D

You are right about his achievements, but I still think he is irrational. Several times he brought pointless anxieties upon his companions and really made them save his asses.

He had to resort to violence out of anger against Nobukatsu that called for severe punishment upon himself. He again resorted to violence against Nagamasa that would result in unnecessary war. He exposed himself to Yoshitatsu while he was supposed to be a decoy and was about to get himself killed just to be saved by Hanbei's overpowered spell. These things can be easily prevented if he can stay calmer and not let his emotion go berserk.

His greatest achievements though, were when he talked his way out from Dousan and Hanzou. Both talks resulted in Owari's advance to Mino and Mikawa with lessened amount of bloodshed. And both times he knows what he was doing. I can give him credits for that.
