| Nobunaga Concerto | comment |
Nobunaga Concerto is a manga written by Ayumi Ishii, which first spawned an anime that aired on July 12, 2014. It follows a young teenager named Saburo, who gets sent back in time to the Warring States period of Japan. He crashes into a young nobleman fleeing to the countryside because he is sickly and can't bear the stress of being the heir of the family. Since the two bear an uncanny resemblance to each other, Saburo ends up taking his place in the family.As it turns out, the young nobleman happened to be Oda Nobunaga, the first great unifier of Japan, and whom Saburo believes to have conquered and united the entire country (which he didn't). Through charisma, talent and sheer dumb luck, Saburo manages to piece together history as it was, all while navigating the tricky diplomacy and politics of Sengoku Japan without any idea of what he's actually doing.The anime features an all-star cast, including Mamoru Miyano as Saburo, Yūki Kaji as Oda Nobunaga/Akechi Mitsuhide, Yūichi Nakamura as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Nana Mizuki as Kichou, Nobunaga's wife, and Takahiro Sakurai as Takenaka Hanbei. A live action drama in October 2014 also aired with Shun Oguri as Nobunaga, and a movie conjoined with the drama was released in December 2015. Note however, that the drama is only very loosely based on the original story and features a number of major deviations in characterization and story. | |

Secret Identity | |
| Nobunaga Concerto / int_112890b3 | comment |
Secret Identity: Akechi Mitsuhide is actually the real Oda Nobunaga. There's a reason why he's wearing a mask - and it's not because of tuberculosis. The only ones aware of this are Saburo, Mitsuhide himself, Mitsuhide's old teacher Takugen, and Oyuki... and much, much later, Kichou. | |

A Father to His Men: To a certain extent, while he is more of a big brother to most. Despite being a Cloud Cuckoolander and lax with how his subordinates treat him, he does discipline them when they do wrong and rewards them well when they succeed. He also takes care of the Mori brothers, the sons of his deceased retainer. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Saburo's textbook. In the anime gets burned by Kinoshita Tokichiro after he discovers it. In the manga Oyuki tries to steal it to take it to her master Uesugi Kenshin, but she accidentally burns it. Saburo never managed to finish reading the part on Oda Nobunaga... including the Incident at Honno-ji... | |

Older Than They Look: Saburo has been in the past for over a decade, but looks as if he hasn't even aged a day. None of the cast noticeably ages, except for Tokugawa Ieyasu, as a matter of fact. This is just a quirk of the art style, though. | |

| Nobunaga Concerto / int_3036294e | comment |
Scary Black Man: Completely subverted with Yasuke, who is revealed to be an American baseball player transported to the Sengoku era from Saburo's time. He is understandably scared out of his wits when he finds himself in such a strange time and place, and only calms down when he realizes that Saburo is also from his time. Afterwards he is very much a gentle giant who is often ordered around by the much more aggressive samurai. | |

Hero with Bad Publicity: Oda Nobunaga is at first seen as a fool when Saburo takes over, but the clan eventually grows out of it when the real military campaigns begin. On the other hand, now Oda Nobunaga is greatly feared and regarded as a machiavellian mastermind throughout the land, which is something that perplexes Saburo. | |

| Nobunaga Concerto / int_3e848d5c | comment |
Cast of Snowflakes: Owing to Ayumi Ishii's style, everyone (except for the two leads, for obvious reasons) look very distinct. The anime averts it with the background characters (who are nothing but copy-pastes of a bunch of generic models), but the manga keeps the diverse style even with bit roles. | |

Parental Substitute: Oichi seems to think this of Saburo, to the point her reason to refuse getting married was because she is happiest by his side. He, in turn, thinks she has a bit of a brother complex. She does have a brother complex, though. Even Saburou freaks out when she starts referring to her children by Azai Nagamasa as the children of "Nagamasa-dono and my brother". | |

Hair-Contrast Duo: Not as pronounced, but in the anime you can tell the two Nobunaga's apart by their hair color. Saburo has a warm brown, while the original has black hair. In the manga the only outside difference is that Saburo's hair is more messy and his outfit is less proper. | |

Becoming the Mask | |
| Nobunaga Concerto / int_44606d14 | comment |
Becoming the Mask: Simultaneously played straight and averted. Saburo ingrains himself into the position of clan head, and does take responsibility for his actions as such, but he has shown no indications of losing his modern side, and refers to "Nobunaga" as a separate entity, which most people parse as if he was talking about himself in the third person. This usually results in misunderstandings. As the long years go on he gets more and more into his Oda Nobunaga "role", and while he still regards it as distinct from himself, he eventually comes to regard himself as being "as good as the real one". | |

Wham Shot: After his formal clothes are mucked up by his bumbling retainers, Saburo attends his meeting with the dangerous Saito Dosan, the "Viper of Mino" and his father-in-law, dressed in his scruffy school uniform. Dosan orders everyone else out of the room so he can talk with Saburo alone and Tsuneoki starts to panic about how Dosan is going to kill Nobunaga. The next shot is of Saburo calmly sharing a meal with Dosan, who is dressed in a modern Japanese policeman's uniform. Saburo isn't the only person from his time who's time-slipped back to this era after all. | |

Book Dumb: Saburo, by his own admission, hates studying and has never actually tried to read a textbook. He does try to use his history textbook to guide him, but usually gives up halfway. Then he loses it, and then has to go by the seat of his pants. Also Matsunaga Hisahide, a yakuza from Saburo's time who is shown to not know that much more about the Sengoku era than Saburo. | |

The Leader: Oda Nobunaga is this to people of Owari, and as time passed they remark he is just strange and not a fool as they acknowledge how caring Nobunaga is to his subjects. The young men who refuse to be conscripted to Nobuyuki's army outright say it to his face without fear that Their lord is Nobunaga, and they don't want him. | |

Perfectly Arranged Marriage | |
| Nobunaga Concerto / int_629fa757 | comment |
Perfectly Arranged Marriage: Though it was done for political reasons - as was always the case in that time - Oichi and Azai Nagamasa's marriage turns out to be this, which only lends further tragedy to later events... Also, in an interesting twist on the trope, Kichou's marriage to the real Nobunaga was a loveless political marriage- but when Saburo takes Nobunaga's place he's smitten with her, and she rapidly falls for him as well, so it works out this way. | |

Non-Action Guy: Saburo is rarely seen in active combat, although he does a bit of fighting every now and then. Mostly he's content with commanding his troops. It Makes Sense in Context as during the Sengoku era enemy lords and generals were the most important targets during battles, and the loss of a clan leader could prove disastrous for the clan if there were no heirs or the heir was inadequate. During one battle where Saburo's forces are outnumbered by the enemy, his own retainers urge him to flee, pointing out that so long as he lives the Oda Clan's victory will be assured. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Saburo's method when fighting against an enemy with superior numbers is to go after the enemy general to demoralize the rest of the army, which destroys the previous paradigm in the Sengoku era of victory through superior numbers. This comes back to bite him in the future after he, in turn, has amassed a big army himself, as now all his enemies are attempting to use the same method by going after him while ignoring everyone else. Lampshaded by Saburo himself, who remarks he was now in the same position as Imagawa Yoshimoto. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Nobunaga Concerto / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Saburo to some degree. He's manipulative, but certainly not in a malicious way. Ashikaga Yoshiaki tries to be one, but he's not very good at it. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
| Nobunaga Concerto / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: Apparently. Some people, like Saito Dousan, have lived in the Sengoku era for decades without, apparently, any opportunity to return. Matsunaga Hisahide claims that time travelers like them should be prepared to die there, and in Saito Dosan's case, he does in fact die there. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Nobunaga Concerto / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Saburo and Kichou have this in spades, but their relationship is never more specifically romantic than emotionally very close. It's a lot more obviously romantic in the manga. | |
