It’s just a façade that can’t even swing a single sword.

Now, we will have a cooking competition.

>>4

But I’m scared even of the opposition… I can handle multiple anonymous ones!

>>9

Alright… go scare him a little…

Oda family’s special forces leader

In this era, a considerable giant.

Ken, a big man raised in a privileged environment, has an unusual strength that Matsunaga cannot escape.

There’s no way to beat a person who can prepare a bird with their bare hands.

I think that just being slapped will make someone lose their fighting spirit.

In the early stages, the Oda army is indeed impressive…

I love the scene where there hasn’t been a single complaint during the march…

What is this giant man…?

There’s no way someone who throws a giant sea turtle’s shell like a frisbee is normal…

I’ve lived through the Warring States period for over ten years and still don’t know how to shoot a gun.

>>15

Has it already been that long!?

>>22

There’s a line towards the end that mentions having served me for about ten years or something like that.

It’s taking too long because I’m getting married in the summer around that time.

>>22

By the time of the Honno-ji incident in 1582, I had around 15 years of service.

>>15

Has so much time really passed?!

>>77

I served since the time of the small daimyo and made it all the way to Honno-ji!

It’s almost like a senior elder!

Even if I can’t use weapons, I can swing around a big pot, throw shells, and handle things with my bare hands, you know?

Even though it was a surprise attack, I’m strong enough to pin them down and take their equipment.

They might come at you with a large pot or something.

And if I hit the big pot, my arm will die.

It’s definitely a villain to pick a fight with such an intellectual giant.

Simply being large in size is a threat on its own.

I think I would die if I got hit or crushed by a giant pot that size…

A food report showdown after tasting this person’s cooking.

As expected, Ken would die if he got shot.

>>25

I survived because it wasn’t a direct hit.

>>25

(Big Pot Guard)

Even if we win, the aftermath is already…

There’s no way I can match the strength to drag Hideyoshi in his armor.

A level of physical strength sufficient to march while carrying an iron pot on your back.

Sometimes you stop being human, right, Ken?

If we lay a hand on this guy, it will guarantee the extinction of the tribe.

>>33

He was just a commoner who went by the name of Kenzin Oda when he was at a point of becoming an adopted child of the aristocracy.

Even if I erase it, there’s no problem.

>>36

Having a surname gives a sense of specialness at a certain point…

>>36

I haven’t seen that guy lately…

It’s rumored that they used just one string to carve that duck…

In the Oda family, you’re already an old-timer, right?

If my wife didn’t have a skill, I think I would have been pressured by not just Inoue, but also by Hideyoshi, and possibly even Nobunaga, asking me why I wasn’t getting married.

The fact that using the Oda crest is permitted gives it a strong sense of uniqueness.

>>38

If the diplomatic hall is completed, you might even be given the surname Oda again and be allowed to take your name.

If bringing in ingredients is completely prohibited, there is no chance of winning.

Even if I fight you honestly, I have no chance of winning.

>>40

The monk who did that was completely seen through from the cooking details and the dining scene.

Kitchen Chief

In that historical Japan, it seems like the social status of chefs would be incredibly high.

I can probably wield the South Star Sacred Fist because I can gut a duck with my bare hands.

When thinking of a fake name, Nobu saying that “the last name can be Oda” is crazy.

A mere country samurai cook from Owari!! You don’t even come close to the knowledge of the Abbot of Imōjo who serves this court!!

>>47

It’s noisy having newcomers who don’t even know the outcome of the cooking competition.

The person in charge of diplomacy is essentially number two, right?

If it’s the case, wouldn’t it be fine to be the emperor’s illegitimate child?

I can’t use my original surname for various reasons…

Simply put, the physique is too good.

The first appearance in historical documents is likely to be the scene where Froissart served bacalhau at a banquet, so the subsequent behavior will likely make it feel incredibly bizarre.

Even if you try to get rid of this guy, the assassin you sent will somehow be swayed by Ken and fail.

Surely, some descendants in a few generations will marry into the Oda family, so eventually, they will become a branch of the Oda family…

I think there are people who can win in a comedy battle.

A crazy guy who’s alive while running around on the front lines of the battlefield.

The wagashi in this world will probably undergo an incredible level of development, including the portion from Kennyo.

First of all, even before the start of Nobunaga’s chef comic, he’s a muscular man close to 190 cm tall, so there’s no way to win.

The body is one thing, but the mind is too strong.

The fact that he received the character for “belief” in his son’s name is already something very special.

>>62

Well, since the person has received three characters…

There wasn’t really a depiction of being out of breath and unable to move while running around, due to lack of stamina, right?

>>63

It seemed that in the end, after being a guerrilla alone in the mountains, they were utterly exhausted.

I still had a little extra room.

Carrying a giant pot on a long-distance march and easily surviving through freezing seasons while camping out, are you some kind of former Green Beret or something?

I was told to let this guy through instead of trying to hold him up…

Being a chef is quite physically demanding.

If I awaken to murderous intent, I might just perform an autopsy with my bare hands, right?

>>67

At least use some thread.

>>72

(Tie up hair)

If you just learn how to handle a matchlock gun.

Even if it’s freezing cold, a cold can be cured with pepper! That’s the kind of guy I am…

I thought the weight of the pot was something we shouldn’t worry about for the sake of the conversation, but then Mochizuki-san was really struggling to carry it, so I guess Ken’s physicality is just abnormal.

There was a time when someone would get mad and say, “There’s no way that pot is that heavy,” when talking about the weight of that pot…

I wonder how thick a pot has to be so that even a slow-moving matchlock gun bullet doesn’t dent it upon impact…

>>76

I think it would be difficult to make it thin and large with the technology of that time.

Ken’s performance is just getting started, right?

Calculating with a thickness of 3mm, a diameter of 800mm, and a depth of 100mm, it was about 18kg.

>>80

Did you really carry something like that on your back and march at the front in the middle of summer…?
