What time roughly is it? I presume it's after Nobunaga captured Inabayama castle and renamed it Gifu, considering that Akechi is serving Oda. Has he been to the capital on invitation by the Shogun?

(Funny things:

1. Akechi, historically, is older than Nobunaga. But almost no depiction of Akechi reflects that.
2. The surname Toyotomi was adopted by Hashiba Hideyoshi after Nobunaga died.)

I'll have time to write a Cs when I get home.
