A story suggestion for Stan

Post by The Great Masamune »

Since Usagi is set during the Sengoku era, I was wondering if you could create a character based on Oda Nobunaga. He was one of the most ruthless samurai of all time and even introduced firearms to Japan. I would love to see Usagi take on a character based on him. Thank you for your time.

I did contemplate a story where a very, very young Usagi is caught up in the plot against Nobunaga. However, he died about 18 or 20 years before Sekigahara, so either Usagi would be still in diapers or barely out of them.

Oda Nobunaga would be a cool person to base a character on, but since Usagi's story is set during the early 1600's (and the start of the anthropomorphic equivalent of the Tokugawa or Edo period) a story featuring him would technically have to be a story told in flashback since Nobunaga died in 1582.
