Synopsis

Guided by her visions revealing the location of the King of Salvation, Jeanne Kaguya d'Arc flees with the polymath Leonardo da Vinci from the West Star to the East Star. There, she encounters Nobunaga Oda—the son of a local feudal lord who, following a brutal defeat dealt by an enemy clan, has sworn to conquer the world with his friends. Quickly convinced that Nobunaga is indeed the King of Salvation, Jeanne pledges allegiance to the Oda clan. Meanwhile, King Arthur, the ruler of the West Star, sends his ruthless general Gaius Julius Caesar and his combat machine army to conquer Nobunaga's planet and seize the Holy Grail. Although Kaguya believes that Arthur is the King of Destruction, the reckless behavior of Nobunaga "The Fool"—who named his own combat suit after his nickname—on the battlefield sows doubt in his capability as a leader. With the help of Himiko, the Yamato Queen, Nobunaga and his clan must unify in order to overcome tragedies, recover from betrayals, and eventually save the world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

A bit of an anticlimactic end for the main antagonist, but the rest of the ending is alright. Not well-written but ends on a brighter note. Overall, a good but not great anime series.

Many more noble sacrifices are made just to reach King Arthur while the plot by Mitsuhide and King Arthur finally bears fruit.

A great episode showing how everyone handles grief in times of adversity and nearing extinction. True to history, Mitsuhide seems to be following what the card dictates for what's to happen in the final episodes.
