Ikemen Sengoku: Bromances Across Time

Sasuke is a college student and a history nerd who has made a hobby out of studying time slips. One day, he slips through one of these time slips and finds himself in the Sengoku Period, although it`s nothing like what he`s read about in the history books. He takes the name Sarutobi Sasuke and becomes a retainer of the infamous Oda Nobunaga. His first mission is to win the confidence of Nobunaga`s other famous retainers, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Source: crunchyroll

Hideyoshi wants to put a new piece of art on a lonely looking wall in the palace with Nobunaga as the obvious subject. He comes up with a plan to distract Nobunaga with the assistance of Sasuke, Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari. Ieyasu and Mitsunari are supposed to do the distracting while Hideyoshi does the drawing, but nothing quite goes as planned. Source: crunchyroll

At one of the regular meetings of the warlords, Date Masamune appears and wants Sasuke to teach him something new for an upcoming poetry competition. Sasuke teaches Masamune and being a quick study the warlord takes to it instantly. The other warlords are inspired and each try their hand at their own rapping style. Source: crunchyroll

As a spy for the Uesugi forces, Sasuke has been spying on the Oda Forces looking for a way to bring them down for his master. One of his suggestions is the idea of junk or spam mail, basically in an attempt to annoy Nobunaga and his men. The men write hundreds of letters and shoot them off, greatly underestimating the kind of men Nobunaga has in his service. Source: crunchyroll

Uesugi Kenshin is not the only one seeking Nobunaga`s down fall. The monk, Kennyo, also seeks revenge on Nobunaga and, thanks to some help from Akechi Mitsuhide, manages to sneak into Azuchi Castle. Things seem to be going smoothly until the attic he has snuck into turns out to be much more heavily fortified than he was led to believe. Source: crunchyroll

Frustrated and fed up with their lack of progress, Uesugi wants to storm Azuchi Castle. Sasuke manages to quell his fury and asks for time in order to negotiate with Nobunaga, leaving Yukimura as a hostage for Uesugi if he doesn`t return. Will Sasuke make it back in time to save his friend? Source: crunchyroll

With things finally coming to a head, the Oda and Uesugi Forces come together at the beach for a final show down. Itching for a fight, Sasuke manages to convince the warlords to participate in a series of challenges to determine who will come out on top. Source: crunchyroll

With both forces facing off in a series of three challenges on the beach, Oda and his men won the first challenge. The second challenge is a summer time tradition--watermelon splitting! But of course, nothing is traditional with these warlords. Source: crunchyroll

The arrival of a mysterious, unexpected visitor has all the men on their toes when the stakes are raised. What was a simple series of friendly matches between rivals has now escalated into a life or death clash for the history books! Source: crunchyroll

With Mouri Motonari showing his true colors, Nobunaga, Kenshin, and Shingen temporarily call a truce to work together to take the pirate on. However, the storm that has suddenly rolled in is not any normal storm. Items of Sasuke`s seem to disappear with the suspicious lightning and Sasuke is forced to make a bold confession to his historical companions. Source: crunchyroll

Sasuke has confessed to being from the future and explains how his whole adventure began. With time ticking away and the lightning flashing at his heels, Sasuke attempts to say goodbye to his companions. However, this may not really be goodbye... Source: crunchyroll

The Sengoku warlords seem to have settled in to the fast pace life of the modern age, much to Sasuke`s chagrin. Not all is quite as it seems though as even despite skyrocketing to idol fame, the warlords from a past have had ulterior motives all along. With another storm rolling in, will Sasuke make it to their final concert in time to say goodbye for real this time? Source: crunchyroll
